The pictures above were taken just a week after my friends and I had our afternoon snacks here. We were then on our way back to Manila from our day tour at Chateau Royale Resorts.

The blueberry pancakes were for my household angels as they were in awe of my description of how it looked like when each of my friends ordered this sweet looking delight a week earlier.

I won’t rave (or rant) on how the food tastes like. The ambiance of this place, for me, is what sells. If you go to Tagaytay, the Bag of Beans is just one of those places you’d make sure to spend sometime before calling it a successful weekend. From buffet breakfast or lunch to snacks of coffee and sweets, the menu suits most types of interests specially their all day breakfasts of pancakes.

You’ll find Bag of Beans at the right side when en route to Batangas and will not miss the swarms of cars looking for parking spaces to buy their coffee beans and breads. Should you be interested to dine in, there are three parking spaces at the side and back of the resto.

Last Christmas eve, I was standing between 3 PM to around close to 9 PM cooking noche buena. Aside from that, I was driving and walking around early in the day to buy ingredients for the noche buena. It was sooo tiring that I woke up at noon on Christmas day. It was well worth it though, as the dishes were a big hit to the last bite without really bribing my clan :)

Anyway, it’s the last day of the year and I’m not stressing much for the media noche as it was decided we’ll order food. So what’s left for me is to prepare desserts.  I am so lazy and wanted to just enjoy the day so the only task was to pick out among the popular bakeshops and grab some sweet pie, cake, or pastries.  Would it be Conti’s in The Fort or should I go to QC for Estrel’s???



Driving around I ended up in Oranbo and then taa-daaa, it just popped in my head… Purple Oven! Yep, this a factory of cakes, which is said to be the supplier of Starbucks (though I’m not really sure). Headed to St. Peter St., lucky me Purple Oven was still open at 2 PM. When my brother went at 3:30 to buy more stuff but and it was already closed. Understandably, stores close earlier today for the New Year celebration.


I bought a turtle pie at P650. There were free sample slices of Rum Cake, which was very good too.

Brazo de Mercedes aka Sweet Surrender

Imagine biting into a layer of graham with the creaminess of french vanilla ice cream mixing with the sweetness of custard… and the familiar yet different texture of soft meringue. This is the best seller of The Sweet Life by Ange called Sweet Surrender.  This is a true winner and as the name suggests, anyone on a diet will surely surrender just to have it. Too bad I didn’t get a picture, it was a favorite there was nothing left in a few minutes. So here is one photo from flickr (just borrowing, it really is visually enticing apart from the real deal)…

Price: Small Box with Ribbon (4″ x 8″) @ Php 365; Square Box with Ribbon (8″ x 8″) @ Php 650

Couture Cupcakes

They are not simply cupcakes, they are called COUTURE Cupcakes. If you want to know why, just look at the pictures. For the taste, it’s for you to find out.. how? Place your orders from the numbers below :-)
