Dining Review

Kat’s Cafe

I have been very busy visiting new and fun places to eat with my friend Jane.

I already shared about our visit to Manna Bakery, and about our visit to Coco Nails where I learned about yummy Kashimaki from Pink Wasabi.

You can look all around the shop and see bits and pieces of Kat.

During one of our outings with the girls, (actually on the same day when we checked out Manna’s cooking lessons) we were able to swing by Kat’s Cafe here in Las Pinas.

Kat explained to me that she always wanted a fun, quirky, themed room in her home growing up. Once she got her own shop, she decided to decorate and design the bathrooms this way instead.

Kat’s Cafe is super cute. It’s definitely “off the beaten path,” and I’m not so sure I would have been able to find it, if I wasn’t with Jane. It’s smack in the middle of BF Resort Village occupying two separate spaces in a strip mall, because they outgrew their first spot.

The girls are trying to decide which drink to cool off with.I went with a hot chai tea latte.

We had a little snack on the cupcake side of the shop (but ordered our coffee from the other side) and I noticed that Kat also sells pastas in case you wanted to take a savory merienda instead of sweets. I had the chance to sit with Kat for a bit and learn a little bit about her and her love of baking. I found her to be very soft spoken, sharing her love of baking, and how she went back to school to further her studies knowing fully well that she wanted to open up a little shop where she could express her creativity.

I liked that her cake was dense but not dry. It was also easy to say yes to the kids when they asked for seconds because both the cake and the icing weren’t overly sweet. When I have cupcakes (and even when I make them) there has to be a balance…if the cake is sweet, then the icing should not be overly sweet, and vice versa. 

Even the salt and pepper shakers have so much character! I love it! Kat shared that she picked these cuties up at Rustan's.

Cupcakes cost P65, but if you buy a half dozen they are P60/each. For just a little extra you can choose to order your cupcake without icing and decorate it yourself. (P100) Cupcakes come to the table with a choice of three different icings and a variety of toppings placed in plate that resembles a painter’s palette…perfect for decorating and again expressing Kat’s creative side. Kat explained the different kinds of icing to choose from (chocolate, vanilla, caramel, and cream cheese) and even gave a quick lesson on how to decorate with the different tips and sprinkles.

I love this plate! How cute is it that it looks like a painter's palette?

Kat and her hubby Joseph are hands on with the business, and it’s obvious that they love what they do. With Joseph taking charge and personally preparing our coffees the way a barista does for someone very special, and Kat demonstrating and teaching the girls how to decorate their cupcakes for their activity, it’s clear that their attention to detail is in every aspect of the shop

K is for kitty...I mean Kat :-) Thanks Kat for having us!

If you would like to visit Kat’s Cafe, place an order for pick up, or simply stop by for merienda, check out her Facebook page for more information on how to get there.

Thinking about the day I got off the plane in LaGu Thinking about the day I got off the plane in LaGuardia, was picked up by one of my dearest friends and spent the entire day at the beach just catching up on LIFE.

It was a breezy day. Overcast. A little chilly to be in a suit, but it was perfect to catch up with my girl Candy. Sometimes, if you have chosen your friends well, you can pick up where you left off, as if no time has passed at all. 

Just like I did, sitting in that beach chair, feeling the mist of the Atlantic Ocean, and watching the seagulls pick and the seaweed.

Thank you Candy! For the friendship, for dropping everything to come and pick me up. Drive me around and have dinner with me and Fayth. 

Wishing I was sitting on this beach with you right now!!!

Missing my @migaventajado The short time I had w Missing my @migaventajado 

The short time I had with this guy in Florida was definitely something I will look back on. Wish we had more time to explore and do some fun things on our own.

Gah. How is this kid 20 years old already?
I remember when he was little and he loved peanut butter, chicken nuggets, Kylie Minogue, and sitting on my lap. He was squishy, in tune with my feelings, and I was always worried that he might have an asthma attack in his sleep so I would nebulize him every few hours. He always looked at new experiences with gratitude and wonder, much how he did while we were in FL together.😍

Praying he continues to strengthen his faith as he grows. 🙏🏻👨🏻🙌🏻

Miss you Miggy!
I’ll be sharing a little bit about my faith toda I’ll be sharing a little bit about my faith today with some university students. 

I have shared my testimony with other mommas, women in our community, and parents through this platform and others. It’s always come naturally and has often ended in tears of gratitude and joy for His faithfulness and unending LOVE. 

Of course, sharing parts of myself with others who may find it helpful is a privilege. But for some reason, I am always just a little bit anxious and apprehensive right before I am about to present parts of my story.

Perhaps today, I’m anxious because the format for how I will share is a bit different, I won’t have the comforts I have gotten used to since working from home. Instead I’ll print some cue cards for myself so I can stay on task and within my given time period. 

I love the opportunity this endeavor has given me, to reflect on His presence in my life. He’s been there all along, even if I didn’t know it. I love the understanding that I can have these intimate conversations with my Creator knowing that He has plans for me. He loves me. He knows all the hairs on my head. And that He knows what I need to fulfill my purpose.

This doesn’t mean I won’t have challenges, or times when I feel broken in my life and faith. In fact, there have been many times where my faith has faltered. All of it just means that He is fortifying me through each and every lesson. He is allowing me to create a greater understanding of who I am, where I am supposed to be, and how He will get me there.

Do you share parts of your faith here?
What does that look like?
