New Motto

Category: Food — Minay @ 5:33 pm

I have a new motto:

“SUGAR IS THE SPICE OF LIFE!” – Sleep-deprived me

As I mentioned, I’ve just been to a sugar-fused trip. Now that I’m back in Manila, the universe is clearly telling me what I already know.

DEATH BY SUGAR IS THE ONLY WAY TO GO.

Desserts from Marriott Hotel's Buffet

This afternoon I went to a media lunch with Marriott Hotel’s Marketing Manager. Lunch was held at their buffet area, and of course, Marriott lived up to its reputation for being a five-star hotel. It was a loooong lunch, and since Halloween is just around the corner, we just HAD TO amuse ourselves by telling each other ghost stories.

It seems like all I do lately is EAT, EAT, EAT.

Marriott Hotel isn’t finished with some of their construction yet, but it’s anticipating to officially open by December.

But the reason I’m posting this is to share with you their fabulous promo! Marriott Hotel’s buffet is normally priced at around P1,350 per person, and they are currently offering the buffet at 50% off! So join me as I live, love, and die dine!

Say it with cake :D

Category: Events, Food — Minay @ 3:30 pm

I think this was last week Monday, I went to the launch of Shangri-la Hotel’s Emoti-cakes.

Creepy or Cute?

When it was unveiled to us what emoti-cakes were, we all went “HOW CUUUUUTTTEEE!!!”. But in retrospect, I found it kind of creepy actually, I mean, the frowning ones.

But whether you find it creepy, cute, adorable, cool… it won’t fail to make anybody smile.

Haha, me trying to imitate the diva-ish smiley!

The mimes in the event were a great touch! Meet the bartender:

Cheff Guillame with a mime making faces behind him. Hahaha.

The emoti-cakes are the brainchild of Chef Guillame, Makati Shangri-La’s new pastry chef. The emoti-cakes come in 50 different expressions, and it’s cheap too and comes in an equally cute box.

cute cake should, of course, have a cute box

I remember that the small one is P350, but I forget how much the big one is. But believe me, the P350 one is enough.

The cake comes in chocolate and cheesecake. I got chocolate, I had my boyfriend try it out, and he said it was good.

By the way, most of these pictures were taken by my good friend Kristine. Good thing she was there because I didn’t have a camera with me!

Kristine!

…then drop by this event and help raise money for the Got Heart Foundation. If you’ve got a hankering for some authentic Italian frozen yoghurt, and a bit of anime, then DO drop by on August 30, 1:00pm to 5:00pm at the Shangri-La Mall. The event, dubbed as “The White Hat – Alodia and Ashley Gosiengfiao dress up for charity” will have the two cosplay stars *groan* (men AND boys, please this is your chance to use your testosterones for charity, hand over the bucks first before oggling ok?) serve customers in costume to raise money for their beneficiary, the Got Heart Foundation.
