Kat's Foodventures

One of the few things I truly enjoy cheap is food. Correct me if I'm wrong but "cheap" doesn't always equate to bland-tasting or unsatisfying. There are a few chocolate cakes I personally enjoy and the one from Mer-Nel's is definitely one of them. I couldn't resist the icing and the moistness of the bread. So difficult to compare with the commercialized cakes we know of. And how can we not love it when it looks this pretty? (please refer to above pic) As for the price, you'll never go wrong with it because it costs less than Php 200 (smallest size). Such a steal! If you're at the South, take time to find the stores located at Los Baños City and SM Calamba.

To celebrate our 7th anniversary, my boyfriend decided to take me out on a dinner at Chocolate Fire in Makati. I've worked somewhere in the area but never heard of it until he told me about it. We ordered Soup of the Day (Mushroom Soup), Napolitana in Fetuccine noodles, Sausage with Mashed Potato, Butterfly Iced Tea (why butterfly? I honestly don't know) and some additional Garlic Bread. The place was dimmed everywhere making it too cozy. We stayed at the second level to enjoy a more laid back ambiance. A few minutes after, our orders came one by one... Mushroom soup wasn't as creamy as I wanted it to be. Napolitana (pasta) was served with a slice of bread and butter, and had thick tomato-based sauce. I wish there was something meat in it and that I should've opted for spaghetti instead of Fetuccine. Oh well... Sausage was yummy with mustard and mashed potato. Slightly pricey, though. Garlic bread was too toasted that made it difficult to bite later on.   ...
