Pan de Donuts

These days, a lot of companies are competing against one another especially if it comes to food. Let's take for example the doughnut. In my country alone, big names such as Krispy Kreme, J Co, Dunkin' Donuts are just a few of companies offering and specializing in this sweet treat. Long before Krispy Kreme and J Co invaded the country, the old time favorite Dunkin' Donuts is the most popular. Now, with the presence of these other international companies, the competition is at its finest.

Last weekend, as I was passing IT Park and bought some bread in Pan de Manila, I noticed a display of cute pastry. There was this one that looks like the Alcapone of J Co. Then as I read their posters, the Pan de Donuts is the newest addition of the company. I was not able to try one, maybe next time. At Php 38 per piece, one can already have a taste of Pan de Manila's newest product.

La Marea Pastry Shop

For sweet lovers out there, there's something you can definitely devour when you're strolling at IT Park. Located at The Walk, La Marea is a haven for someone who has a sweet tooth. From mouthwatering cakes, Sylvanas, cookies and their signature warm brownie cup; these sweets will surely satisfy your cravings!

Yesterday, after a tiring day at work, we visited La Marea. When we entered the shop, we were delighted to see all the sweets welcoming us. The mixture of coffee scent and the sweet smell of cakes beckoned us to make our order. :D

La Marea is a local pastry and coffee shop in Cebu which serves cakes and their famous warm brownie cups. So we ordered their brownie cups in three different flavors. We had their Chocolate Warm Brownie Cup, white chocolate cup and their chocolate sugar-free cup. All were surely delicious! Brownie cup's starts at Php 110. The secret in eating this is to eat it quickly-- making sure that you have a spoonful of brownie and the vanilla ice cream!

Next, we also ordered their meringue cake which was also good. And last but not the least, we had one whole Oreo Cake and it's good as well!

Music 1

Dear people,

I know I have a bad voice (excuse me guys. xD), but then I was forced by the powerful force so I have no choice but to take the microphone. haha

Last Tuesday, after dinner, we sung our hearts out at  Music One. Music One is a family KTV and also a movie house located at The Walk in IT Park. The ambiance is also cozy and perfect for relaxation.

We booked a room for an hour which costed P298.00. There are also rates which are consumable, so you can order some food and drinks while you're watching your favorite movie or while singing your heart out.

That was my first time there and I admit I'm not really into singing especially if there are other people watching and listening. hahaha But because I was in the company of very hyped girls, I was infected with their energy. LOL

Last, but definitely not the least, meet Erika! She's one bubbly girl you should meet. :)

Good time @ Chatime

Summer's just round the corner and with the scorching heat of the sun, the best way to deal with this is to indulge ourselves with cool drinks. ;) And so after work, these beautiful creatures hit Chatime, located at eBloc 2 Asiatown IT Park.

This tea house offers a great variety of teas. Even for people who are not really into tea can still enjoy the comfortable ambiance of Chatime. They also serve smoothies, coffee, juice and some eatables to go with your drinks.

So, while waiting for this buzzer to light and buzz...

...of course, we had a little chit chat with my beloved friends.

And after a few minutes of waiting, finally the buzzer lighted up (thank goodness).
