I know I lived (and am living and will live, hehe!) a good life before I had this. But now that I’ve tasted this one, I find myself thinking, “what would I do when I’ve already consumed the pack that a friend bought for me from his recent trip to Singapore??!!” To think this was supposedly for Hubs. 😀
Of course I already looked it up in Rakuten and Amazon Japan but it’s not sold there. There’s some in Amazon US but it’s unreasonably expensive.
We were able to visit Hubs’ aunt in their house and was able to enjoy her delicious cake yet again! Last year, we had apple tart (the best one I had. It sure easily beats La Maisson’s). This year, we had cheesecake coupled with sweet strawberries, dipped in strawberry and kiwi sauce.
This, enjoyed in a tatami room cum artist room that’s full of interesting stuff – from antique Western dolls wearing antique lace, graceful Japanese dolls wearing elaborate kimono, life size paintings drawn by Hubs’ aunt herself.
Tastes great with Vintage Earl Grey milk tea.
Our Osechi for this new year. The jubako (layered box) features cranes which symbolises a fruitful year.
The baby of the house has her own osechi as well (thank you for the thoughtfulness, Obaachan! 🙂 ) Featuring the Anpanman cartoon series characters that’s popular among children here in Japan.
As one would suppose, each of the dish included in Oseshi has its own meaning. Read here for the symbology of some of the dishes!
We went on a road trip with a couple of friends and their baby on our last vacay in Ph and stopped over at Breakfast at Antonio’s for lunch.
Ordered Smoked Salmon Eggs Benedict. Yummy!
But when I tasted their Five Cheese Pizza that my friends ordered, I almost lost my head. Goodness, how good it was!!!
Their golden pancake that hubs ordered was delectable as well! Hmmm, looks like we might be dropping by this resto on every Tagaytay trip we’ll be having in the future.

Had a day off from work today (and Yui from daycare) because Yui and I have fever. We both had a sleepless night but thankfully Yui’s fever finally broke this afternoon and i’m dearly hoping it won’t come back anymore (at least this time. Please fever, don’t come back, ok?). Yui had been very clingy in that she can only sleep if she’s snug against me. Can’t do any household work. But good thing I can blog while sweaty Yui sleeps on my chest. :).
Rice and chicken stew with tomato and the very nutritious malunggay/moringa. Cooked by Yui’s grandfather (Mom side) no less. Tasted it. Even sans salt, it was delicious!
Finally, an access to my WordPress app! Couldn’t access the app for a almost a couple of weeks in that I had to reinstall the app. Thing is, I had to try several times to get the right password. But finally, thankfully, I now got an access!
So. Last post was about eating healthy goodness and here is yet another one!
As much as possible, whenever I feed Yui bread, I try to give her the healthier option. Thankfully, she loves it as well!
Hijiki (seaweed) rice bread (the one with white powder on the top) and rye wheat bread.
I also have these two for lunch at least once a week.
When I was pregnant, I love Muji Café’s wheat bread. Now, both Mom and baby love the bread.
Let’s opt for the healthier choice Moms and Dads!
