Macadamia Sans rival

Hello I'm back! The busy ber months at work is starting to kick in and its my birthday month as well so let me leave you with this heavenly sight.

Macadamia Sans Rival Cake from Gay Vazquez

We've had this for quite some time during family gatherings, thanks to Ate Michelle for always discovering new places to order. Well I never get to take photos of them. Honestly, I am not really a fan of Sans Rival since I am more of a chocolate fan. Anything chocolate-ish (especially if its dark) I consume! Haha! But this one is an exception! My problem with sans rival is that sometimes it gets too sweet to the point that its nakaka-umay but this one was almost perfect. The generous macadamia all over is to die for! I swear! Best served when almost frozen too!

We have yet to try the other products. Ive been told that the choco chips, boat tarts and cashew sans rival are a must try! For orders you may contact:

Wanted: Nutella Snack! Now Na!

Saw this upon blog hopping some time last month? Now I don't remember where I got it. Sorry! [My gosh Ms. Diaz will kill me for not properly citing the source oops!] I'm starving now I want some chocolates and then I saw this. Does anyone know if we have this here in the Philippines?

what a sinfully good snack

If only I can have this now while watching the latest episode of Gossip Girl Season 4!

So for now good night!

Friday Dinner at Heat

Its a payday friday, its drizzling in the metro and you left the office during the rush hour (6:00 pm) to go to Mandaluyong! So there is no other way I can think of (unless I teleport or I am superman) to get to Edsa Shang from Manila and make it to our 6:30 PM dinner.

A relative is leaving for the states and my Tita is hosting a dinner for her at HEAT (Edsa, Shang-rila). For some reason, I never fully enjoy the selection there. I ate there twice this year already and still no improvement. When I eat in hotel buffets there are some (personal) rules I lived by: Haha!

1. Don't eat rice.

2. Explore the Japanese selection (since this is my fave cuisine).

3. Spot the steak and other expensive items/cuisine.

4. Don't get food you would normally eat elsewhere (filipino lutong bahay food, pizza, pasta and chinese cuisine).

5. Always leave extra (extra) room for desserts! (Since I have a sweet tooth).

So based on my so called rules, Heat didn't leave an impressive mark on me. Aside from the fact that we all had horrible traffic experience going there, I think the food selection felt a bit short. First the Japanese selection was very limited. I only spotted 3 or 4 makis/sushis? The steak wasn't impressive also accdg to my cousin so I skipped that part already. The rest was just OKAY. No specific food that I would really really remember. Although the dessert selection made up for the so-so food! Chocolate fondue fountain was love! Even though I am not a fan of white chocolate I gave it a try! Also, the signature teppanyaki ice cream (the one they cook and chop?) was a winner!

Since I was too hungry for this night, I wasn't able to take that much photos so I will leave with you with this:

some cool interiors at Edsa, Shang

a few from the dessert selection

I think when it comes to hotel buffets I would still go for Spirals at Sofitel on my top list. It used to be Paseo Uno at Mandarin Oriental but I haven't been there for quite some time so it will rank second for now and then Heat for the third spot. :)
