Cakes by Addie's Pasteleria

Recently, my Kailee celebrated her 7th birthday.  Time flew by so quickly right?  I can't believe she's 7.  While I was composing my IG post - I couldn't help but tear but up.  I was being emotional and I couldn't help it.  I was happy that she's healthy and is becoming a generally good person.  I just can't help but think that in a few years time, she won't be my baby anymore.  I know it's inevitable, but I guess - every parent has this image of their kids (even if they've become grown adults) as their babies.  I am one of those.

I asked her what kind of birthday cake she wanted.  She said she wanted a cake with a LOT of icing.  I have two sisters in law who are bakers, unfortunately - they were both full on that day.  So my next bet was Addie's Pasteleria.  I have ordered a chocolate cake from her before and I LOVED that it had soooo much icing!  I love icing too.  Hahaha..

I didn't hesitate anymore and sent a message to order.  Ordering is a breeze.  This time, I decided to order a mocha cake.  And boy was I glad I picked mocha because cake was light, it was fluffy, very flavorful - bottomline,  it was so gooood.  So good that even my mom who isn't so much of a sweet tooth liked it and asked for more!



Why are there two cakes?  Well, my mommy brain did an advance order.  I thought my Kailee's birthday was a few days away instead of 2 weeks away!  Hahaha..  Addie's Pasteleria was so nice to inform me that instead of paying for two (2) flower cakes - why not just make one a standard mocha cake, and then on the correct pick up date - the flower cake.  I was bowled over when they called to tell me that.

Breastfeeding Mama!

"Welcome to the Milk Mama Diaries Carnival (July). For this month, we join the National Nutrition Council - Department of Health in celebrating Nutrition Month with the theme "Isulong ang Breastfeeding - Tama, Sapat at EKsklusibo!" Participants will share their experiences in promoting breastfeeding or their tips on how breastfeeding should be promoted. Please scroll down to the end of this post and check out the other carnival participants." When I got pregnant, I knew instantly that I would be breastfeeding my baby.  My mom found it odd that I decided to breastfeed - this was because I grew up formula fed.  My twin brother and I were given formula since birth, there was no attempt whatsoever to breastfeed.  In fact my mom recounted that she was given medicine to stop the milk production.  My pedia, Dr. Joy Ty-Sy said that during my mom's time (when she had us) it was the boom of formulas, that it was the trend that time.  I grew up with formula, my c

ANSON SUPERMARKET - Grocery delivery!!

Sharing is caring, so we can't keep it a secret any longer.  THIS is where we get out groceries!  Well, Anson Supermarket has been where we have been purchasing all of our kids' diapers!  From Kailee to Connor to Shobe!  Yes, yes, yes! A week into the lockdown, it just occurred to us that we can get our groceries from them - but then we thought, we didn't want to force them to do it - after all it's a different time now.  But when we asked and they said yes, it was like we won the lottery.  We sent out our list - a very VERY SPECIFIC list and voila after a day or two (we weren't in a rush) they told us to schedule a pick up.  Please remember that I am sharing this with you guys because I believe so much in the saying 'sharing is caring'.  Please be mindful of your language and respect those who will call or message you about your orders.  Also note that some items might NOT be available - so manage your expectations.   They're a full functioning

#CookingQuest: Winter Melon Soup ala Didi #EnhancedCommunity

One of the things that gets ooohs and aaaahs in a chinese restaurant is the #WinterMelonSoup.   You may ask why?  Well because with this soup, restaurants use the winter melon itself as a huge bowl to serve the soup!  It's a sight to see as you'll be amazed how they were able to pull it off.  You'll see the whole winter melon, and then suddenly they're take out the top part and when you peek in, the soup is inside together with meat bits and other veggies!  My mom has tried it at home, and I remember her being nervous that the winter melon doesn't break apart, kunde sira ang presentation! So during this #EnhancedCommunityQuarantine, I chanced upon Theo's Farm that they have winter melon, so I ordered.  When I saw it - I knew I wouldn't be able to pull off the carving and serving the winter melon.  It actually made the preparation easier.  I had to ask my mom, and she told me to steam the winter melon to soften it.  Honestly, I don't think I can w
