I rarely go to facial spa centers, and I don't own a lot of skin care products. For me, an effective skin care routine should be simple, convenient, and most importantly, sustainable- a routine you can religiously follow and stick to. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">As far as my skin care routine goes, cleanse, tone and moisturize are my bare-minimum. I want something quick and manageable, but at the same time successful in keeping my skin clear, bright and hydrated. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Good thing I came across UFO by Swedish brand Foreo. UFO is a complete smart mask treatment that combines a dynamic innovation of dermal technologies with exclusive Korean mask formulas in one revolutionary device. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Imagine having one sophisticated device that can give you a refreshing and luxurious spa-like facial treatment in seconds, and being able to enjoy it from the comfort of your very own home! </div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ARiEccY32eQ/X1dB2veqsdI/AAAAAAAAjJA/Q_XM1KVy0JAuvpgkjtfX5Fzk70skXISiACPcBGAsYHg/s3216/Foreo%2BLuna.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2136" data-original-width="3216" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ARiEccY32eQ/X1dB2veqsdI/AAAAAAAAjJA/Q_XM1KVy0JAuvpgkjtfX5Fzk70skXISiACPcBGAsYHg/s640/Foreo%2BLuna.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">First, let's talk about the physical features of the UFO.

It's so convenient especially since I don't go out nowadays. This is great for people who love taking care of their skin but at the same time would want to limit non-essential visits to public places. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Time Saver</b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="text-align: left;">I've been using my Foreo UFO at least twice a week for more than a month now and I can safely say that this is by far the best addition to my skin care routine. Plus, it only takes about 90 seconds! I love that I can easily use it before going to bed at night. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="text-align: left;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="text-align: left;">I normally go for another round of treatment because I feel that 90 seconds pass by too quickly. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="text-align: left;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="text-align: left;"><b>Better Skin Absorption</b></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="text-align: left;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="text-align: left;">Compared to a regular face mask, I feel that the UFO does better in making sure that all the serum from the mask sheet is well-absorbed by the skin. With UFO's Hyper-Infusion Technology that combines heating, cooling, and T-Sonic Pulsations, you are sure to get the maximum benefits of a complete mask treatment. The Thermo-Therapy mode gradually warms the device on the skin to open the pores for a better absorption of the mask essence. Simultaneously, T-Sonic Pulsations are felt as it gently massages and soothes the skin. Finally, cooling sensations from the Cryo-Therapy mode are felt on the skin as it minimizes the pores and locks in all moisture from the mask serum. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Selection of UFO Activated Masks</b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">UFO has a wide range of activated masks to suit every skin type and targets specific needs of the skin. These masks are developed and sourced from Korea where the concept of sheet masks originated. Made with all natural ingredients, the mask sheets are made with ultra-soft microfiber and soaked in premium Korean skincare formulas. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">My UFO device came in with a starter mask of <b>Make My Day</b>. It is a daytime mask sheet infused with luxurious <i>red algae</i> and <i>hyaluronic acid </i>to keep the skin moisturized and protected from harmful free-radicals all day long. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-64R3rJkUPXY/X3GfKBBw4TI/AAAAAAAAjN0/_brmxeggJMMfydh79Lpzjwmn5A30aPYBQCPcBGAsYHg/s4896/Foreo%2BUFO%2BMake%2BMy%2BDay.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3264" data-original-width="4896" height="426" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-64R3rJkUPXY/X3GfKBBw4TI/AAAAAAAAjN0/_brmxeggJMMfydh79Lpzjwmn5A30aPYBQCPcBGAsYHg/w640-h426/Foreo%2BUFO%2BMake%2BMy%2BDay.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Aside from the main daily mask collection, Foreo also came up with the <b>Farm to Face Advanced Collection</b> that targets specific concerns of the skin. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Since my main skin concern nowadays is dryness, I got myself their <b>H2Overdose </b>and <b>Youth Junkie</b>, both of which address dryness and dehydration of the skin. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-hInZGGoubXU/X3GhmzM54YI/AAAAAAAAjOg/-Byyp1D2bdoQnwrSEBtBX_Lqisbrrcn_ACPcBGAsYHg/s3976/Foreo%2BUFO%2BMask%2BH20%2Band%2BYouth%2BJunkie.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2661" data-original-width="3976" height="428" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-hInZGGoubXU/X3GhmzM54YI/AAAAAAAAjOg/-Byyp1D2bdoQnwrSEBtBX_Lqisbrrcn_ACPcBGAsYHg/w640-h428/Foreo%2BUFO%2BMask%2BH20%2Band%2BYouth%2BJunkie.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>H2Overdose</b> is infused with <i><b>Hyaluronic Acid</b></i> that instantly hydrates dry and thirsty skin.

At Php50 per piece, one could only hope for the best-tasting ube cheese pandesal there is. You don't have to worry though as Justyn's version comes with only the best and premium ingredients- we are talking about fresh, homemade halaya combined with a gooey melted cheese in the center. No skimping on ingredients here as Justyn Cafe offers one of the most generous servings of halaya and cheese around. Given that the size of their pandesal is huge, you can still expect a hefty serving of ube-cheese filling in every bite. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-yO5CaLXIs5A/XrVOAKhhliI/AAAAAAAAix8/ciJz-OWNckoM74aXxz4_PMEfF9XLxGcngCPcBGAsYHg/s1600/Justyn%2BCafe%2BUbe%2BCheese%2BPandesal%2Bcenter.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1067" data-original-width="1600" height="426" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-yO5CaLXIs5A/XrVOAKhhliI/AAAAAAAAix8/ciJz-OWNckoM74aXxz4_PMEfF9XLxGcngCPcBGAsYHg/s640/Justyn%2BCafe%2BUbe%2BCheese%2BPandesal%2Bcenter.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">What I liked about Justyn Cafe:<br />generous servings of halaya and cheese, big-sized pandesal, chunky and fresh homemade halaya filling, gooey melted cheese, responsive and was able to serve my orders the next day, value for money</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Kennedy Kitchen (San Juan)</b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><i>Php300/half-dozen (Php50/piece)</i></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-cxo1gAVjH4o/XrVOXRV-4yI/AAAAAAAAiyI/7K-gnRnyJtU0x89IgBh-AHQ6L2arqYShACPcBGAsYHg/s1600/Kennedy%2BKitchen%2BUbe%2BCheese%2BPandesal.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1130" data-original-width="1600" height="450" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-cxo1gAVjH4o/XrVOXRV-4yI/AAAAAAAAiyI/7K-gnRnyJtU0x89IgBh-AHQ6L2arqYShACPcBGAsYHg/s640/Kennedy%2BKitchen%2BUbe%2BCheese%2BPandesal.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Having the same price point as Justyn's (Php50 per piece), I had my expectations set high for this new purveyor Kennedy Kitchen. Judging from its social media account, the business was started during this ECQ. I got enticed with their ube cheese pandesal photos online that I just had to try them out. Good thing Kennedy Kitchen offers a half dozen option for those who don't want to commit on getting a dozen. When I received my order, first thing I noticed was the little detail most people tend to overlook-the packaging. It came in a little gold flip box with a neat purple ribbon on the center and a business card attached to it. For a new online seller to pay close attention to these small details, you can clearly see passion in the business. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-cvvnzcx1JNY/XrVWHGVosuI/AAAAAAAAi0s/snJW_74JgeMI8EV68s4apTxsdUEZJP-ugCPcBGAsYHg/s1600/Kennedy%2BKitchen%2Bsan%2Bjuan%2Bube%2Bcheese%2Bpandesal.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1067" data-original-width="1600" height="426" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-cvvnzcx1JNY/XrVWHGVosuI/AAAAAAAAi0s/snJW_74JgeMI8EV68s4apTxsdUEZJP-ugCPcBGAsYHg/s640/Kennedy%2BKitchen%2Bsan%2Bjuan%2Bube%2Bcheese%2Bpandesal.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The size of their ube cheese pandesal was relatively smaller, but still heavy with the fillings inside. The bread was more compact and less airy, but still soft and fluffy. I like that there was sweetness to the bread, but some may find it too sweet. Kennedy Kitchen's version was also oozing with generous servings of their homemade halaya and melted cheese. If you're a cheese lover, you can't go wrong with this one. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-_oaiV_aKbCM/XrVWzp9c0xI/AAAAAAAAi1E/2mjdYq-cN6QqcJG68U2XA6_mQb5JXjN6ACPcBGAsYHg/s1600/Kennedy%2BKitchen%2B%2BUbe%2BCheese%2BPandesal%2Bcheesy.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1067" data-original-width="1600" height="426" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-_oaiV_aKbCM/XrVWzp9c0xI/AAAAAAAAi1E/2mjdYq-cN6QqcJG68U2XA6_mQb5JXjN6ACPcBGAsYHg/s640/Kennedy%2BKitchen%2B%2BUbe%2BCheese%2BPandesal%2Bcheesy.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-2K_SB89JSVM/XrVOXfXZUjI/AAAAAAAAiyI/K0rG6-rz3gkJta7SE_ndQR2mAEJan59XQCPcBGAsYHg/s1600/Kennedy%2BKitchen%2BUbe%2BCheese%2BPandesal%2Bgooey%2Bcheese.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1067" data-original-width="1600" height="426" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-2K_SB89JSVM/XrVOXfXZUjI/AAAAAAAAiyI/K0rG6-rz3gkJta7SE_ndQR2mAEJan59XQCPcBGAsYHg/s640/Kennedy%2BKitchen%2BUbe%2BCheese%2BPandesal%2Bgooey%2Bcheese.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">What I liked about Kennedy Kitchen:<br />overall flavor combination, generous servings of halaya and cheese, homemade halaya, sweetness from the bread, gooey melted cheese, responsive and accommodating seller, got orders the next day</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Sweet Life by Ange (Makati) </b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><i>Php600/dozen (Php50/piece)</i></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-KDMZdGZ3SVY/XrVOs6dzb-I/AAAAAAAAiyU/rg81ZMaOWssN-m7_vDLrrybqPe-0hoEyQCPcBGAsYHg/s1600/Sweet%2BLife%2Bby%2BAnge.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1101" data-original-width="1600" height="434" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-KDMZdGZ3SVY/XrVOs6dzb-I/AAAAAAAAiyU/rg81ZMaOWssN-m7_vDLrrybqPe-0hoEyQCPcBGAsYHg/s640/Sweet%2BLife%2Bby%2BAnge.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-8-o57YCNO9M/XrVOsy2klJI/AAAAAAAAiyU/Xorfl8o_78MI9dfIKkBFqsLgxn5FBhj0QCPcBGAsYHg/s1600/Sweet%2BLife%2Bby%2BAnge%2BUbe%2BCheese%2BPandesal.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="991" data-original-width="1600" height="394" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-8-o57YCNO9M/XrVOsy2klJI/AAAAAAAAiyU/Xorfl8o_78MI9dfIKkBFqsLgxn5FBhj0QCPcBGAsYHg/s640/Sweet%2BLife%2Bby%2BAnge%2BUbe%2BCheese%2BPandesal.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The Sweet Life by Ange is no stranger to me. I've tried a few of their products throughout the years from cupcakes, to sweet bars, to savory crisps and chips. Now, I finally have something new to try from their latest offerings. The Sweet Life by Ange probably was the heaviest box among all listed here. I ordered for a dozen and the box was literally more than 1kg. This is another brand that gives attention to packaging. It came properly sealed with cling wrap and placed neatly in a box with the signature pink and gold colors. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/--MQfJ-qpFho/XrVOs4IL7BI/AAAAAAAAiyU/Rc-cSCoJN14BCs8XG5yKMON1AG2HzuURQCPcBGAsYHg/s1600/The%2BSweet%2BLife%2Bby%2BAnge%2BUbe%2BCheese%2BPandesal.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1062" data-original-width="1600" height="424" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/--MQfJ-qpFho/XrVOs4IL7BI/AAAAAAAAiyU/Rc-cSCoJN14BCs8XG5yKMON1AG2HzuURQCPcBGAsYHg/s640/The%2BSweet%2BLife%2Bby%2BAnge%2BUbe%2BCheese%2BPandesal.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The Sweet Life by Ange's version came in a dozen pull-apart pandesal rolls. It has this bright purple-colored bread with yellow melted cheese and chunky halaya filling. Again, this one definitely did not skimp on ingredients. Each piece was generously filled with cheese and ube. The Sweet Life by Ange probably has the most cheese filling. It was like a small block of cheese was placed in the center of the bread making it heavier than the rest. This is another great option for cheese lovers. The texture of the bread was soft and dense, a bit filling after having one piece, but at the same time so satisfying. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-w3w5-6ibR4o/XrVOs0UiLHI/AAAAAAAAiyU/OyGV2cra9qM5hBMzsSuWumIdfctpYuJaACPcBGAsYHg/s1600/Sweet%2BLife%2Bby%2BAnge%2BMakati%2BUbe%2BCheese%2BPandesal.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1067" data-original-width="1600" height="426" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-w3w5-6ibR4o/XrVOs0UiLHI/AAAAAAAAiyU/OyGV2cra9qM5hBMzsSuWumIdfctpYuJaACPcBGAsYHg/s640/Sweet%2BLife%2Bby%2BAnge%2BMakati%2BUbe%2BCheese%2BPandesal.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">What I liked about the Sweet Life by Ange:<br />branding, packaging, sealed with cling wrap, overloaded with cheese, very filling, unique presentation, variety of products available, responsive, was able to deliver products on the promised date (5 days)</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Salta! by Pappare Ristoranti (Quezon City)</b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><i>Php260/half-dozen (Php43/piece)</i></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-iRIGtFYufRM/XrVO9yxnmJI/AAAAAAAAiyc/JCsL9VeRRzs2XookdPAZZSrIziSwFnEPwCPcBGAsYHg/s1600/Salta%2Bby%2Bpappare.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1067" data-original-width="1600" height="426" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-iRIGtFYufRM/XrVO9yxnmJI/AAAAAAAAiyc/JCsL9VeRRzs2XookdPAZZSrIziSwFnEPwCPcBGAsYHg/s640/Salta%2Bby%2Bpappare.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-v_pfBDQ9h5Y/XrVO97LaYHI/AAAAAAAAiyc/hsawXN2bggIxL3kMo96sujVAZCT5MX4cgCPcBGAsYHg/s1600/Salta%2Bby%2Bpappare%2BUbe%2BCheese%2BPan%2BRolls.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1067" data-original-width="1600" height="426" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-v_pfBDQ9h5Y/XrVO97LaYHI/AAAAAAAAiyc/hsawXN2bggIxL3kMo96sujVAZCT5MX4cgCPcBGAsYHg/s640/Salta%2Bby%2Bpappare%2BUbe%2BCheese%2BPan%2BRolls.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">These are not your usual Ube Cheese Pandesal. Salta's version are called Ube Cheese Panrolls. The pull-apart panrolls has a top glaze that gives a sweet and buttery taste. The bread has a pale purple color which can be a plus since there isn't too much artificial food coloring to it. Besides, with all ube cheese pandesal I've tried, having a dark vibrant purple color doesn't mean the bread would have a stronger taste of ube. Most ube flavor comes from the actual halaya filling. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-GVXSo7i2aG8/XrVO9_6AyJI/AAAAAAAAiyc/_yoiBbnLHR817buVC4OPJISS7bpruTSnwCPcBGAsYHg/s1600/Salta%2Bby%2BPappare%2Bube%2Bcheese%2Bpandesal.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1052" data-original-width="1600" height="420" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-GVXSo7i2aG8/XrVO9_6AyJI/AAAAAAAAiyc/_yoiBbnLHR817buVC4OPJISS7bpruTSnwCPcBGAsYHg/s640/Salta%2Bby%2BPappare%2Bube%2Bcheese%2Bpandesal.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Salta wants to distinguish itself from other ube cheese pandesal purveyors by recreating a version like no other. Offering panrolls instead of the classic pandesal recipe, and using cream cheese instead of the usual melted cheese filling. Don't expect that gooey melted cheese effect with your ube cheese panrolls though, as the cream cheese won't melt no matter how long you toast it in the oven. I understand that cream cheese costs a bit more than the regular cheese, but for its price, I wish there were more ube and cheese fillings on my bread. On a side note, I got to sample their Parmesan Whole Wheat Pesto Cheese Roll made with Avocado Oil and it was the best! If I had to choose between their Ube Cheese Panrolls and Parmesan Pesto Cheese Rolls, I'd definitely get the latter. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-3IMk6kRVEA8/XrVO9ynS8GI/AAAAAAAAiyc/S2EThHRDo3ksahuwjO8ZSRYopel8A3t8ACPcBGAsYHg/s1600/Salta%2BUbe%2BCheese%2BPanroll.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1067" data-original-width="1600" height="426" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-3IMk6kRVEA8/XrVO9ynS8GI/AAAAAAAAiyc/S2EThHRDo3ksahuwjO8ZSRYopel8A3t8ACPcBGAsYHg/s640/Salta%2BUbe%2BCheese%2BPanroll.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-_p1l1gQ6Z0g/XrVPyW6IjAI/AAAAAAAAiy0/MkcjAoL3SR41lK4jqShYPO2TgH8OpgncwCPcBGAsYHg/s1600/salta%2Bparmesan%2Bpesto%2Bpan%2Broll.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1136" data-original-width="1600" height="452" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-_p1l1gQ6Z0g/XrVPyW6IjAI/AAAAAAAAiy0/MkcjAoL3SR41lK4jqShYPO2TgH8OpgncwCPcBGAsYHg/s640/salta%2Bparmesan%2Bpesto%2Bpan%2Broll.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">What I liked about Salta! by Pappare:<br />cream cheese instead of regular cheese, sweet buttery crust, not too much artificial color, comes with reheating instructions, Parmesan Pesto Pan Roll, delivered on the promised date (6 days)</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Maria's Kitchen (Quezon City)</b></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Php230/half-dozen (Php38/piece)</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-kMB2iystcrs/XrVP6BpgTeI/AAAAAAAAiy4/j0C9IZmX-LYJg3SRbJzVEd89lZPqeJ0lwCPcBGAsYHg/s1600/Marias%2BKitchen%2BUbe%2Bcheese%2BPandesal.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1067" data-original-width="1600" height="426" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-kMB2iystcrs/XrVP6BpgTeI/AAAAAAAAiy4/j0C9IZmX-LYJg3SRbJzVEd89lZPqeJ0lwCPcBGAsYHg/s640/Marias%2BKitchen%2BUbe%2Bcheese%2BPandesal.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-WrGF6bhaEiw/XrVP6BhPV5I/AAAAAAAAiy4/_cpDBAsngqAyiKev4Ra0ffgozaMl9wbcwCPcBGAsYHg/s1600/Marias%2BKitchen%2BUbe%2BPandesal.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1067" data-original-width="1600" height="426" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-WrGF6bhaEiw/XrVP6BhPV5I/AAAAAAAAiy4/_cpDBAsngqAyiKev4Ra0ffgozaMl9wbcwCPcBGAsYHg/s640/Marias%2BKitchen%2BUbe%2BPandesal.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">Maria's Kitchen's Ube Cheese Pandesal has a good balance of cheese and halaya. It has a semi-melted kind of cheese when heated in the microwave, but does not melt too much when placed in a toaster. Its halaya has a smooth and creamy texture which somehow gives a buttery taste when blended with the cheese filling. Pandesals were average-sized and had a good bread to filling ratio. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-kpOcuj18MlU/XrVP6G9XV_I/AAAAAAAAiy4/QRGPXmJl1gEhnUSXKEAu9LFXsdMMKAXzgCPcBGAsYHg/s1600/Marias%2BKitchen%2BUbe%2BCheese%2BPandesal%2Bcenter.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1067" data-original-width="1600" height="426" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-kpOcuj18MlU/XrVP6G9XV_I/AAAAAAAAiy4/QRGPXmJl1gEhnUSXKEAu9LFXsdMMKAXzgCPcBGAsYHg/s640/Marias%2BKitchen%2BUbe%2BCheese%2BPandesal%2Bcenter.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: right;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-x3-iKXgZOtQ/XrVP6On3FNI/AAAAAAAAiy4/4TVQpBLyaQopv6kAWCPVi0LpxO3B2KklwCPcBGAsYHg/s1600/Marias%2BKitchen%2BUbe%2BCheese%2Bpandesal%2Bqc.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1067" data-original-width="1600" height="426" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-x3-iKXgZOtQ/XrVP6On3FNI/AAAAAAAAiy4/4TVQpBLyaQopv6kAWCPVi0LpxO3B2KklwCPcBGAsYHg/s640/Marias%2BKitchen%2BUbe%2BCheese%2Bpandesal%2Bqc.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">What I liked about Maria's Kitchen:<br />good bread to filling ratio, smooth halaya filling, soft pandesal texture, not too airy and hollow inside</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b><u>Mid-Range</u></b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Bread for Every Juan (Mandaluyong)</b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><i>Php250/box of 10 (Php25/piece)- special, Php15/piece-regular variant</i></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-TlZVoXjl9Dg/XrVQjxhr3QI/AAAAAAAAizE/4KxArH8Qcn0H-BhhzZjDW4BVCwZ8-m7zACPcBGAsYHg/s1600/Bread%2Bfor%2BEvery%2BJuan.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1138" data-original-width="1600" height="454" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-TlZVoXjl9Dg/XrVQjxhr3QI/AAAAAAAAizE/4KxArH8Qcn0H-BhhzZjDW4BVCwZ8-m7zACPcBGAsYHg/s640/Bread%2Bfor%2BEvery%2BJuan.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-DWf2fXy9vek/XrVQj8mDEtI/AAAAAAAAizE/cW8ykzsoc7wNTVYSkFpBSW-8j2pdG2C0QCPcBGAsYHg/s1600/Bread%2Bfor%2Bevery%2BJuan%2Bmandaluyong.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1067" data-original-width="1600" height="426" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-DWf2fXy9vek/XrVQj8mDEtI/AAAAAAAAizE/cW8ykzsoc7wNTVYSkFpBSW-8j2pdG2C0QCPcBGAsYHg/s640/Bread%2Bfor%2Bevery%2BJuan%2Bmandaluyong.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-q6EeTQCOcEE/XrVQj8thzzI/AAAAAAAAizE/Szx5dMrqArE3jYOVhSMvdZMh5i7ADmRMgCPcBGAsYHg/s1600/Bread%2Bfor%2Bevery%2BJuan%2BUbe%2BCheese%2BPandesal.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1067" data-original-width="1600" height="426" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-q6EeTQCOcEE/XrVQj8thzzI/AAAAAAAAizE/Szx5dMrqArE3jYOVhSMvdZMh5i7ADmRMgCPcBGAsYHg/s640/Bread%2Bfor%2Bevery%2BJuan%2BUbe%2BCheese%2BPandesal.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">Bread for Every Juan offers two kinds of Ube Cheese Pandesal. A special variant (Php25/pc) which is made with homemade ube halaya, and a regular version (Php15/pc) which is made with ready-made ube jam. I just had to try both to compare. Both looked the same from the outside. They both have the same semi-melted cheese center, but what sets them apart is their halaya filling. The regular one has a lighter halaya color while the hayala of the special variant was darker and tasted sweeter too. For me, both tasted really good, but I wouldn't really mind going for the cheaper variant. They almost tasted alike, except the special variant was sweeter. I'd say they really made a fool-proof recipe suited for every Juan. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-J4BUrOA6B8s/XrVQjz4UeyI/AAAAAAAAizE/zwEaTwKDkU8y0ZC3gbjrHT7Vlrj-zYGAwCPcBGAsYHg/s1600/Bread%2Bfor%2BEvery%2BJuan%2BUbe%2BCheese%2BPandesal%2Bspecial.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1067" data-original-width="1600" height="426" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-J4BUrOA6B8s/XrVQjz4UeyI/AAAAAAAAizE/zwEaTwKDkU8y0ZC3gbjrHT7Vlrj-zYGAwCPcBGAsYHg/s640/Bread%2Bfor%2BEvery%2BJuan%2BUbe%2BCheese%2BPandesal%2Bspecial.jpg" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">special homemade halaya on left, regular halaya jam on right</td></tr></tbody></table><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">What I liked about Bread for Every Juan:<br />classic and nostalgic pandesal flavors, no frills ube cheese pandesal, nice soft and pillowy texture, has a sweet and buttery taste, very tasty, offers a more affordable variant for every Juan, good ratio of halaya and cheese, got my order the next day after payment</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><div><b>Mrs. Cheesy Ube by Jennifer Estacio (Pasig/Manila)</b></div><div><i>Php300/dozen (Php25/piece)</i></div><div><b><br /></b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-8VJpUPCmApQ/XrVUwJ2ACrI/AAAAAAAAi0M/uTGj0f8sWwIdTGQdTEdTYB0gppaTIXR5wCPcBGAsYHg/s1600/Mrs%2BCheesy%2BUbe%2BJennifer%2BEstacio.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1067" data-original-width="1600" height="426" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-8VJpUPCmApQ/XrVUwJ2ACrI/AAAAAAAAi0M/uTGj0f8sWwIdTGQdTEdTYB0gppaTIXR5wCPcBGAsYHg/s640/Mrs%2BCheesy%2BUbe%2BJennifer%2BEstacio.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/--pE21oHdVgE/XrVUwDXh0gI/AAAAAAAAi0M/n3tCrtmTCe82NKwBdwJcu4Un5CtpHIW9wCPcBGAsYHg/s1600/Mrs%2BCheesy%2BUbe%2BCheese%2BPandesal%2Bby%2BJennifer%2BEstacio.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1067" data-original-width="1600" height="426" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/--pE21oHdVgE/XrVUwDXh0gI/AAAAAAAAi0M/n3tCrtmTCe82NKwBdwJcu4Un5CtpHIW9wCPcBGAsYHg/s640/Mrs%2BCheesy%2BUbe%2BCheese%2BPandesal%2Bby%2BJennifer%2BEstacio.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ZUAqHggieKU/XrVUwNhcvGI/AAAAAAAAi0M/tKnUVSUuDEwm0LoL3JpiyyGeXnDI32h9ACPcBGAsYHg/s1600/Mrs%2BCheesy%2BUbe%2BPandesal%2BJennifer%2BEstacio.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1067" data-original-width="1600" height="426" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ZUAqHggieKU/XrVUwNhcvGI/AAAAAAAAi0M/tKnUVSUuDEwm0LoL3JpiyyGeXnDI32h9ACPcBGAsYHg/s640/Mrs%2BCheesy%2BUbe%2BPandesal%2BJennifer%2BEstacio.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div>The ube cheese pandesal endorsed by @masarapba, I just had to include it on the list. Got my order from a reseller momchoice_manila, and luckily she was responsive and was able to deliver my order freshly baked and still warm in the morning. Jennifer Estacio's pandesals were huge but not too heavy. It was elongated in shape and pillowy-soft to the touch. A few pieces have dark, slightly bitter crust that seemed to have been in the oven longer than it should. The halaya was smooth and creamy, while there was generous serving of semi-melted cheese. For its price, it's definitely worth it- you get a bigger than average-sized pandesal, generously filled with cheese and halaya. The overall taste of the ube cheese pandesal was not too sweet and overwhelming, so it's no surprise you'll be reaching for that second piece after you finish the first one. </div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-AilvxzMxzfI/XrVUwOdlbbI/AAAAAAAAi0M/aso24k3FZcoq2jrqTthoE_bzu-IsaH_PACPcBGAsYHg/s1600/Mrs%2BCheesy%2BUbe%2BCheese%2BPandesal%2BJennifer%2BEstacio.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1067" data-original-width="1600" height="426" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-AilvxzMxzfI/XrVUwOdlbbI/AAAAAAAAi0M/aso24k3FZcoq2jrqTthoE_bzu-IsaH_PACPcBGAsYHg/s640/Mrs%2BCheesy%2BUbe%2BCheese%2BPandesal%2BJennifer%2BEstacio.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div>What I liked about Mrs Cheesy Ube by Jennifer Estacio:<br />big in size, soft and pillowy texture, accessible to buy since there are online resellers around, delivered fresh and warm, not too sweet and cloying, value for money, responsive with next day delivery</div></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Vicet Cravings (Manila)</b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><i>Php150/half-dozen (Php25/piece)</i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-wR1iPTdec8Y/XrVRAYmId6I/AAAAAAAAizM/w9KdYPzLi3AIz2Px2XEZ7OksKDAirvr7ACPcBGAsYHg/s1600/Vicet%2BCravings%2BUbe%2BCheese%2BPandesal.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1009" data-original-width="1600" height="400" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-wR1iPTdec8Y/XrVRAYmId6I/AAAAAAAAizM/w9KdYPzLi3AIz2Px2XEZ7OksKDAirvr7ACPcBGAsYHg/s640/Vicet%2BCravings%2BUbe%2BCheese%2BPandesal.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Chanced upon Vicet Cravings from a sponsored ad on facebook and was once again enticed to order because of how good it looked.

The bread though lacked that sweet and salty taste of a classic pandesal. However, that flavor comes in as you bite into the cheese and ube-filled center. The halaya and cheese were both creamy. Denby described the taste of Vicet's version as clean and light. Probably because the taste of ube and cheese was light and not over the top. Vicet's is a good mid-priced choice to satisfy your ube cheese pandesal cravings. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-5j87ZHrebzE/XrVRARn3KbI/AAAAAAAAizM/0SMXnFxCCRI8fIqacvEY_6HqpNmrXiNZwCPcBGAsYHg/s1600/Vicet%2BCravings%2BUbe%2BCheese%2BPandesal%2Bcenter.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1067" data-original-width="1600" height="426" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-5j87ZHrebzE/XrVRARn3KbI/AAAAAAAAizM/0SMXnFxCCRI8fIqacvEY_6HqpNmrXiNZwCPcBGAsYHg/s640/Vicet%2BCravings%2BUbe%2BCheese%2BPandesal%2Bcenter.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">What I liked about Vicet Cravings:<br />soft and pillowy texture, clean taste, nice balance of ube and cheese filling, great for people who don't want their breads too sweet, accommodating and responsive got my order next day after payment.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b><u>Budget-Friendly</u></b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Little Chef (Quezon City)</b><br /><b>Php180/box of 10 (Php18/piece)</b><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-NA82DA9cxto/Xr5YaF03cFI/AAAAAAAAi5w/02-fzr6Qtnk06ipVTbfXk0pfkiamUH9HQCPcBGAsYHg/s1600/Little%2BChef%2BUbe%2BCheese%2BPandesal.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1038" data-original-width="1600" height="410" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-NA82DA9cxto/Xr5YaF03cFI/AAAAAAAAi5w/02-fzr6Qtnk06ipVTbfXk0pfkiamUH9HQCPcBGAsYHg/s640/Little%2BChef%2BUbe%2BCheese%2BPandesal.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-DnPduxlUysE/Xr5XiUu02qI/AAAAAAAAi5Q/TAXwg178Gm4dO8xTTNLX9r1-GFqiYlHQQCPcBGAsYHg/s1600/Little%2BChef%2Bqc%2BUbe%2BCheese%2BPandesal.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1137" data-original-width="1600" height="454" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-DnPduxlUysE/Xr5XiUu02qI/AAAAAAAAi5Q/TAXwg178Gm4dO8xTTNLX9r1-GFqiYlHQQCPcBGAsYHg/s640/Little%2BChef%2Bqc%2BUbe%2BCheese%2BPandesal.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br />Had to wait for more than a week to try Little Chef's ube cheese pandesal.

These pillowy-soft buns By Chef Kin definitely tops the list on where to get your budget-friendly ube cheese pandesal fix.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-5eFm7uDHFpA/XrqGIX9TdTI/AAAAAAAAi2w/gqI1ZmncB7wxdVAB5C5P9erCF_ssj-0iQCPcBGAsYHg/s1600/Ube%2Bcheese%2Bpandesal%2Bby%2BChef%2BKin.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1067" data-original-width="1600" height="426" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-5eFm7uDHFpA/XrqGIX9TdTI/AAAAAAAAi2w/gqI1ZmncB7wxdVAB5C5P9erCF_ssj-0iQCPcBGAsYHg/s640/Ube%2Bcheese%2Bpandesal%2Bby%2BChef%2BKin.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">What I liked about By: Chef Kin: </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">strong ube flavor and aroma, pillowy-soft bread, melty cheese center, affordable</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><b>Miss B's Infused Honey (Quezon City)</b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><i>Php180/dozen (Php15)</i></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Ydd_d5WgABU/XrVRhrRNc_I/AAAAAAAAizg/Me44z5kVTN0eb9LGJfQQlXqHHB02d62LQCPcBGAsYHg/s1600/Miss%2BB%2Binfused%2Bhoney%2Bube%2Bcheese%2Bpandesal.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1133" data-original-width="1600" height="452" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Ydd_d5WgABU/XrVRhrRNc_I/AAAAAAAAizg/Me44z5kVTN0eb9LGJfQQlXqHHB02d62LQCPcBGAsYHg/s640/Miss%2BB%2Binfused%2Bhoney%2Bube%2Bcheese%2Bpandesal.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-kFtFjmqTlm4/XrVRhlmUuPI/AAAAAAAAizg/EQ5pMx0lnPkIhQ29GWv2FN5RdkwTJaVTwCPcBGAsYHg/s1600/Miss%2BB%2BInfused%2Bhoney%2BUbe%2BCheese%2Bpandesal%2B2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1067" data-original-width="1600" height="426" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-kFtFjmqTlm4/XrVRhlmUuPI/AAAAAAAAizg/EQ5pMx0lnPkIhQ29GWv2FN5RdkwTJaVTwCPcBGAsYHg/s640/Miss%2BB%2BInfused%2Bhoney%2BUbe%2BCheese%2Bpandesal%2B2.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Bought an assorted dozen of special pandesal from Miss B's Infused Honey while searching for suppliers of ube cheese pandesal online. Since minimum order is by the dozen, I decided to try their other flavors too- Cheesy Egg, Chocolate and Caramel. The size of their pandesal was really small compared to others I've tried. The bread though was very soft, pillowy and moist. It's not your usual pandesal that's crumbly and airy. The outer layer of the bread has that smooth texture making it hard for the bread crumbs to stick on it. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-WRx7wdvJAyA/XrVRhioSm3I/AAAAAAAAizg/uSKo9VWubPQePWtSkJRlYfSNR2_flle6ACPcBGAsYHg/s1600/Miss%2BB%2BUbe%2BCheese%2BPandesal.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1067" data-original-width="1600" height="426" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-WRx7wdvJAyA/XrVRhioSm3I/AAAAAAAAizg/uSKo9VWubPQePWtSkJRlYfSNR2_flle6ACPcBGAsYHg/s640/Miss%2BB%2BUbe%2BCheese%2BPandesal.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-LvsqYl7FZxo/XrVRhp5mVaI/AAAAAAAAizg/HS-x2IhKRk8sg8ZTTLgp6vcfgzPHih8qQCPcBGAsYHg/s1600/Miss%2BB%2Binfused%2Bhoney%2Bube%2Bcheese%2Bpandesal%2Bcenter.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="938" data-original-width="1600" height="370" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-LvsqYl7FZxo/XrVRhp5mVaI/AAAAAAAAizg/HS-x2IhKRk8sg8ZTTLgp6vcfgzPHih8qQCPcBGAsYHg/s640/Miss%2BB%2Binfused%2Bhoney%2Bube%2Bcheese%2Bpandesal%2Bcenter.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">While Miss B's ube cheese pandesal was good for its price, we loved the cheesy egg more as it gave a nice contrast of flavors from all the sweet breads we had. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-1uI6Zxmtab0/XrVRwocUN9I/AAAAAAAAizk/GWezS-3HgCAoKrvz7-D8Gueve3-rBxqngCPcBGAsYHg/s1600/Miss%2BB%2Binfused%2Bhoney%2Bflavored%2Bpandesal%2Bcheesy%2Begg.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1067" data-original-width="1600" height="426" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-1uI6Zxmtab0/XrVRwocUN9I/AAAAAAAAizk/GWezS-3HgCAoKrvz7-D8Gueve3-rBxqngCPcBGAsYHg/s640/Miss%2BB%2Binfused%2Bhoney%2Bflavored%2Bpandesal%2Bcheesy%2Begg.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">What I liked about Miss B's Infused Honey:<br />variety of flavors, soft and moist texture of bread, responsive and accommodating with 2 days lead time </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b><br /></b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Azucar Pastries (Quezon City)</b></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Php60/box of 4 (Php15)</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-fvawKOqwouM/XrVR1bFvGcI/AAAAAAAAizo/KnGns-U2GPgXo_wDNeEiOC27EdCWzLNsACPcBGAsYHg/s1600/Azucar%2BPastries.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1067" data-original-width="1600" height="426" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-fvawKOqwouM/XrVR1bFvGcI/AAAAAAAAizo/KnGns-U2GPgXo_wDNeEiOC27EdCWzLNsACPcBGAsYHg/s640/Azucar%2BPastries.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-HOnIAgoHZD4/XrVR1Um2Y9I/AAAAAAAAizo/kdddTJg4FlgbA0OSxaQJMc1BgLCn8_rTgCPcBGAsYHg/s1600/Azucar%2BPastries%2BUbe%2BCheese%2BPandesal.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1067" data-original-width="1600" height="426" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-HOnIAgoHZD4/XrVR1Um2Y9I/AAAAAAAAizo/kdddTJg4FlgbA0OSxaQJMc1BgLCn8_rTgCPcBGAsYHg/s640/Azucar%2BPastries%2BUbe%2BCheese%2BPandesal.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-p5dJFZLePi0/XrVR1XOWxgI/AAAAAAAAizo/V7zGUwPBxQsyeixaZ2PldBVA8Rg42zg0ACPcBGAsYHg/s1600/Azucar%2BPastries%2BUbe%2BCheese%2BPandesal%2BNew%2BManila.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1067" data-original-width="1600" height="426" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-p5dJFZLePi0/XrVR1XOWxgI/AAAAAAAAizo/V7zGUwPBxQsyeixaZ2PldBVA8Rg42zg0ACPcBGAsYHg/s640/Azucar%2BPastries%2BUbe%2BCheese%2BPandesal%2BNew%2BManila.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Azucar Pastries' Ube Cheese Pandesal probably was the biggest in size among the list. They literally looked like burger buns but in purple color. While they were big in size, they were very light to hold. I immediately knew there wouldn't be too much of fillings inside these buns. True enough, they were airy and hollow inside, and the cheese didn't quite melt with the halaya. Taste wise though, Denby said the bread was good as it is as a bun. I just wish they could improve more on the cheese and halaya fillings as they were too little given the big size of the bun. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-RJumIG3bFkQ/XrVR1VSF0GI/AAAAAAAAizo/FKCL65Aly9QLUwNy0NAlDpFbmq18-clCwCPcBGAsYHg/s1600/Azucar%2BPastries%2Bube%2Bpandesal.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1067" data-original-width="1600" height="426" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-RJumIG3bFkQ/XrVR1VSF0GI/AAAAAAAAizo/FKCL65Aly9QLUwNy0NAlDpFbmq18-clCwCPcBGAsYHg/s640/Azucar%2BPastries%2Bube%2Bpandesal.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">What I liked about Azucar Pastries:<br />available in few pieces for those who just want to try first, big-sized</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Myon's French Mediterranean Cuisine (Quezon City)</b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><i>Php145/dozen (Php12)</i></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-JsTywad9xyg/XrVSE0aJwLI/AAAAAAAAizs/sk-6QQicP0E5pU2URjNMwgRjfiT0GNGawCPcBGAsYHg/s1600/Myons%2BFrench%2BMediterranean.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1152" data-original-width="1600" height="460" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-JsTywad9xyg/XrVSE0aJwLI/AAAAAAAAizs/sk-6QQicP0E5pU2URjNMwgRjfiT0GNGawCPcBGAsYHg/s640/Myons%2BFrench%2BMediterranean.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-5UWHHKzKUiU/XrVSE_HnJLI/AAAAAAAAizs/S8sGeRrcGyszED0FTIRgPNzbuJoCuNfFwCPcBGAsYHg/s1600/Myons%2Bfrench%2Bube%2Bcheese%2Bpandesal.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1067" data-original-width="1600" height="426" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-5UWHHKzKUiU/XrVSE_HnJLI/AAAAAAAAizs/S8sGeRrcGyszED0FTIRgPNzbuJoCuNfFwCPcBGAsYHg/s640/Myons%2Bfrench%2Bube%2Bcheese%2Bpandesal.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The most affordable version of the bunch, an ube cheese pandesal fix need not be expensive. Myon's ube cheese pandesal comes in small pandesal buns packed with full flavors. Myon's version had this unique and different taste among others I've tried. It literally tasted like a spanish bread with a subtle hint of ube flavor. If I was blindfolded and couldn't see the purple color of the bread, I would definitely think that I was eating spanish bread. Denby liked it for being sweet and having that distinct sweet butter-margarine flavor. Since I love spanish bread, I also liked it but found it too sweet for my liking. Nevertheless, it is a great option for those who wants a reasonably priced ube cheese pandesal. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-BpCaxSdiq1w/XrVSE-XOWZI/AAAAAAAAizs/RXP746Ggc7MKEOGYb1LSrmWeQXOBRvw-gCPcBGAsYHg/s1600/Myons%2Bube%2Bcheese%2Bpandesal%2Bcenter.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1067" data-original-width="1600" height="426" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-BpCaxSdiq1w/XrVSE-XOWZI/AAAAAAAAizs/RXP746Ggc7MKEOGYb1LSrmWeQXOBRvw-gCPcBGAsYHg/s640/Myons%2Bube%2Bcheese%2Bpandesal%2Bcenter.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">What I liked about Myon's:<br />very tasty, tastes like spanish bread, pillowy soft buns, affordable, sweet and buttery</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">After trying a few of the ube cheese pandesal available around the metro during the ecq, I think I've reached my quota of ube cheese pandesal for the year. This list may not include a whole lot more of other purveyors, but I tried to include at least some for every budget. In the end, I realized that even when there are shops who sell them at a premium price, they were still within reason and I'd rather have them than two or three pieces of the less expensive ones. At the same time, there were purveyors who even at a mid-range price, manage to offer a really good product and gives a bang for your buck. At the end of the day, it boils down to taste preference. One thing for sure is true, as Denby said it: "Parang pare-pareho na lasa nilang lahat, as long as mainit masarap!" Very true.

I've stopped attending events last year since I've been busy with wedding preps and moving into a new home. It was a period of adjustment especially now that we have to do things on our own- cleaning the house, cooking meals, washing the dishes, doing the laundry etc. It's quite enjoyable actually because we get to do stuff like these together now. Plus, since it's just the two of us, chores are very minimal. The best thing though is that I get to practice my cooking skills and cook for the husband everyday. So when I told him about the invitation I got, he got more excited than I was and asked me attend. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The theme for that day was <b>"A Simple Japanese Meal"</b> and learning the secrets to making restaurant standard Japanese dishes like tempura, sushi and sukiyaki. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

Not in Japan, but in <b>Makati</b>. KyōTo is a hidden Japanese restaurant along Palanca Street in Legazpi Village, Makati. We've been frequenting a few bars in Palanca during my time in the corporate world, but never did I imagine that one day, I will go back to the area not for some bar chows and drinks, but to dine at this very fine Japanese restaurant.<br /><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">I was initially hesitant to push through with our reservation since 1. I don't eat raw fish or sashimi (except spicy tuna) 2. The price of the kaseiki menu was waaaay beyond our average dining budget.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-mYDAsgEcRSM/XOZa5V7GnRI/AAAAAAAAiRc/Mh2N9DzqbxQUB-NEhjvH6Xigf8JvHnNyACKgBGAs/s1600/kyoto%2Bmakati%2Bcoyiuto%2Bhouse.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1067" data-original-width="1600" height="426" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-mYDAsgEcRSM/XOZa5V7GnRI/AAAAAAAAiRc/Mh2N9DzqbxQUB-NEhjvH6Xigf8JvHnNyACKgBGAs/s640/kyoto%2Bmakati%2Bcoyiuto%2Bhouse.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /><span id="goog_534594132"></span></div></div></div><div style="text-align: justify;">D really wanted to dine here ever since it opened, but was looking for an excuse to justify the big dining splurge. Finally, his 30th birthday seemed like the perfect occasion to take me out on a fancy dinner.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Upon arriving, we were immediately led to the <b>Kappo</b>- a 10-seater open-kitchen bar area where <b>Chef Ryohei Kawamoto</b> was busy preparing the menu for the night. A staff handed the kaiseki menu that listed down all the dishes that will be served to us that night.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-iRLBDQ1BXwo/XOZa_7_kRuI/AAAAAAAAiRg/-M05sheET9s0ZUouz3kEWCScW15ad9jYwCKgBGAs/s1600/kyoto%2Bmakati%2Bbar%2Bseat.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1067" data-original-width="1600" height="426" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-iRLBDQ1BXwo/XOZa_7_kRuI/AAAAAAAAiRg/-M05sheET9s0ZUouz3kEWCScW15ad9jYwCKgBGAs/s640/kyoto%2Bmakati%2Bbar%2Bseat.jpg" width="640" /></a></div></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b><br /></b><b>Kaiseki</b> is an elaborate multi-course Japanese dining experience with menu that depends on the availability of seasonal ingredients.

We already told KyoTo upon our reservation and asked for an alternative dish. They told us they can substitute the sashimi platter with some tempura. Personally though, I felt that having fresh sashimi over fried items has more value for money and was just the best way to go. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">I decided to stick with the original course, and it was the perfect decision. Everything was so good! I had a bad experience with uni before, and swore never to eat it again. This time, I tried a small portion from the generous heaping of uni and surprisingly liked it! It was nothing like the uni I've had before. This was sweet and tasted so fresh out of the sea. My favorite from the platter was the Shiro Ebi or baby white shrimps. I've never had anything like it before. It was so sweet, I cannot believe it was all natural.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Bs-HU00zi1M/XOZbbgUMgmI/AAAAAAAAiRs/7VUKnLsWgf43PEirMx99UUVhZQMR1SNggCKgBGAs/s1600/kyoto%2Bmakati%2Bmixed%2Bsashimi.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1067" data-original-width="1600" height="426" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Bs-HU00zi1M/XOZbbgUMgmI/AAAAAAAAiRs/7VUKnLsWgf43PEirMx99UUVhZQMR1SNggCKgBGAs/s640/kyoto%2Bmakati%2Bmixed%2Bsashimi.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The toro and scallops were also spectacular. They were very different from the regular toro or hotate we normally eat in Japanese restaurants. I couldn't find a fault with the salmon and fish sashimi either. Basically everything on this plate was just divine! Coming from someone who have never liked sashimi, I was surprisingly blown away.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-0Bd5ZqZ8Tgk/XOZbo0U5KgI/AAAAAAAAiRw/SgXAKbLRS08KF6m96sfNnN7Z9V7ehoSWQCKgBGAs/s1600/kyoto%2Bmakati%2Btoro%2Bsashimi.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1067" data-original-width="1600" height="426" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-0Bd5ZqZ8Tgk/XOZbo0U5KgI/AAAAAAAAiRw/SgXAKbLRS08KF6m96sfNnN7Z9V7ehoSWQCKgBGAs/s640/kyoto%2Bmakati%2Btoro%2Bsashimi.jpg" width="640" /></a></div></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Dobin </b>("teapot") <b>Mushi</b> ("steamed") is a traditional Japanese steamed broth filled with seasonal ingredients like seafood and vegetables, then served in a teapot.

I honestly didn't have any idea what a kinki fish was. When I saw it being grilled, I thought it was just a normal red snapper. I said to myself, "for the price we are about to pay, this better be fresh and grilled perfectly considering we are just sharing one fish."<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-zwJt1P7oDXU/XOZcLEdGotI/AAAAAAAAiSI/0v7MqIMHQCoN6ld0PigjsCMxF248YdkwACKgBGAs/s1600/kyoto%2Bmakati%2Bgrilled%2Bkinki.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1067" data-original-width="1600" height="426" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-zwJt1P7oDXU/XOZcLEdGotI/AAAAAAAAiSI/0v7MqIMHQCoN6ld0PigjsCMxF248YdkwACKgBGAs/s640/kyoto%2Bmakati%2Bgrilled%2Bkinki.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div>Apparently, kinki is a rockfish that is considered a gastronomical luxury in Japan. Fresh from Akita northern Japan, it was grilled over charcoal to bring out its natural flavors. The meat was surprisingly moist and fatty, this photo doesn't do it justice.<br /><br />White waiting for the final course, Chef Ryo whipped out this bonus dish for us to try:<br /><b>Anago salt-water eel- </b>it was light and sweet, with soft and delicate texture that almost melts in your mouth.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-UywE7He9Jq0/XOZcP-uqdnI/AAAAAAAAiSM/WOh1-xGe2gcVU1VSZWIS_73a7Cy00xHrACKgBGAs/s1600/kyoto%2Bmakati%2Banago%2Bsea%2Bwater%2Beel.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1067" data-original-width="1600" height="426" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-UywE7He9Jq0/XOZcP-uqdnI/AAAAAAAAiSM/WOh1-xGe2gcVU1VSZWIS_73a7Cy00xHrACKgBGAs/s640/kyoto%2Bmakati%2Banago%2Bsea%2Bwater%2Beel.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div>Finally, KyoTo's high quality <b>Grilled Wagyu with Japanese rice</b> was served. Judging from the photo, you can see how the meat was perfectly cooked with that moist and pinkish center. The beef was very tender and went well with the fragrant Japanese white rice.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-EleDGxjILlk/XOZcV4d0lmI/AAAAAAAAiSQ/Q91cbFzFg0MRPVv4GdiqSHSxEcN7oILDQCKgBGAs/s1600/kyoto%2Bmakati%2Bgrilled%2Bwagyu.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1038" data-original-width="1600" height="410" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-EleDGxjILlk/XOZcV4d0lmI/AAAAAAAAiSQ/Q91cbFzFg0MRPVv4GdiqSHSxEcN7oILDQCKgBGAs/s640/kyoto%2Bmakati%2Bgrilled%2Bwagyu.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-GnzodNweNO4/XOZcV9milvI/AAAAAAAAiSQ/ICbwEuBqG4cqoglNLGGnn3CAvbCgNd-nQCKgBGAs/s1600/kayoto%2Bmakati%2Bgrilled%2Bwagyu%2Bjapanese%2Brice.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1067" data-original-width="1600" height="426" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-GnzodNweNO4/XOZcV9milvI/AAAAAAAAiSQ/ICbwEuBqG4cqoglNLGGnn3CAvbCgNd-nQCKgBGAs/s640/kayoto%2Bmakati%2Bgrilled%2Bwagyu%2Bjapanese%2Brice.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div>Dessert for the day was <b>Monaka</b>- a Japanese dessert of crispy wafer sandwich filled with mochi balls, adzuki bean, and vanilla ice cream.

Everything was perfect from food, down to the service. The staff were really knowledgeable about the dishes presented to us, and were always attentive to our needs. Chef Ryo truly is an amazing chef! With his passion and skills, no wonder he was the former private chef of the Japanese Ambassador to the Philippines.<br /><br />At a dinner rate of Php5,200++ per head, I normally would say that this is just a one-time dinner experience for me. I never thought I would say this, but I'm very willing to go back, and dine at Kyo-To again even for that price.

After several months of preparations for our engagement and wedding, finally, we get to cross one event off our checklist.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-sJ3J3y4c4LA/XDGa39M5x6I/AAAAAAAAh1k/anLirSuDOCA0PLwjH25_gzOzx0qhwSJvQCKgBGAs/s1600/MG1_2442.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1069" data-original-width="1600" height="426" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-sJ3J3y4c4LA/XDGa39M5x6I/AAAAAAAAh1k/anLirSuDOCA0PLwjH25_gzOzx0qhwSJvQCKgBGAs/s640/MG1_2442.jpg" width="640" /></a></div></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Time really seems to fly by so quickly. I can still remember <a href="http://www.itsberyllicious.com/2018/02/the-proposal-at-paseo-rizal-we-are.html" target="_blank">D's proposal last January</a>. After nine months, we are officially engaged.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><a name='more'></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Chinese engagement, or most commonly known as tinghun, is a formal announcement of a couple's plan to get married. It is a Chinese tradition passed on for many generations that signifies the acceptance and union of two families. I won't go much into the details on how to have a traditional Chinese engagement as there are several versions out there. But based from what I learned during my tinghun preps, the stricter you are in following old traditions, the more expensive your tinghun will be. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">For us, we opted to go for a semi-modern tinghun. Besides, we wanted to to have a tinghun more for the experience rather than for tradition. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">It wasn't really necessary for us to have a tinghun, but we are very grateful for our families who made it possible, and for letting us experience this momentous event.<br /><br />How do you plan a Tinghun?<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-gLO0tlNfb0s/XDG7nWeRe3I/AAAAAAAAh-o/S2D3zsbeiywbcQrcnPAEGYG6m_KLPhZvgCKgBGAs/s1600/MG2_1684.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1069" data-original-width="1600" height="426" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-gLO0tlNfb0s/XDG7nWeRe3I/AAAAAAAAh-o/S2D3zsbeiywbcQrcnPAEGYG6m_KLPhZvgCKgBGAs/s640/MG2_1684.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div>It was a question I was more than willing to find the answer. It was a long and tedious work, but given the chance, I would gladly do everything all over again.<br /><br /><b>Research, research, research!</b><br />I can't stress enough the importance of research to a Tinghun preparation. May it be online research, asking help from previous tinghun couples, asking tips from parents or elders, or seeking professional assistance from tinghun experts.<br /><br />In my case, I did everything from buying a tinghun guide book, to asking notes from my friends who had their tinghun before. I even went back and forth to Ongpin to seek advice and tips from tinghun experts.<br /><br />Tip: It is ok to seek assistance from experts, but be warned that following everything they say could make you spend more than you should. Which will lead me to the next tip:<br /><br /><b>Traditional or Modern?</b><br /><br />Set your rules. Discuss with your partner on how you want your tinghun to be. This will also depend on the couple's parents. Most couples nowadays prefer a more modern engagement, but since some parents want to strictly follow tradition and culture, couples have to respect their elders' requests.<br /><br />Some couples though are given the freedom to plan their tinghun. This way, couples can go for the more practical stuff and avoid spending on things that are no longer necessary.<br /><br />In our case, we went for a modern engagement but still retained essential traditions.<br /><br /><b>Set a Date</b><br /><br />Once you have discussed the extent of your tinghun, you can now set the tinghun date. People usually ask for an auspicious date from an expert. Lucky for us, D's grandfather knows how to check an auspicious date for our engagement- <b>October 7, 2018 (Sunday)</b>.<br /><br /><b>Look for a Reception Venue </b><br /><br />Traditionally, tinghuns are done at the house of the bride. Nowadays, these are done in hotels or Chinese restaurants that offer packages inclusive of everything you'll need during the event.<br /><br />We chose <b>New World Makati Hotel</b> as our reception venue and availed their <b>Classic Tinghun Package</b>.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-CZ0VWblc1wQ/XDGbPfzVKgI/AAAAAAAAh1s/8cdZ2q6YyMkKkW_8g_nF78LUELd9HkY5wCKgBGAs/s1600/new%2Bworld%2Btinghun%2Blaunch.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="541" data-original-width="761" height="454" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-CZ0VWblc1wQ/XDGbPfzVKgI/AAAAAAAAh1s/8cdZ2q6YyMkKkW_8g_nF78LUELd9HkY5wCKgBGAs/s640/new%2Bworld%2Btinghun%2Blaunch.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><b>Book your Suppliers</b><br /><br />Think of your tinghun as a practice for your wedding, but more intimate. That said, there are suppliers that will make your tinghun special and memorable. Usual suppliers are: Coordinator, Host, Photographer, Videographer, Stylist, Cake supplier.<br /><br />We didn't hire a coordinator since I wanted to be hands-on with the preparations. Hiring a coordinator is very helpful for couples with busy schedules and who don't have time to prepare for the engagement. We did not hire a host either as we invited only a few close friends and families. Instead, I had my brother do the hosting and provided him a script during the event.<br /><br />We didn't get a videographer during our tinghun, and just booked a photographer for photo coverage.<br /><br />Since we got a package from New World Makati, the backdrop, decors, and cakes were all included.<br /><br /><b>Prepare your Checklist</b><br /><br />This will be the most important thing for your tinghun preparations. There's a groom's checklist and a bride's checklist. Make sure you have everything listed here, and planning your tinghun will be a breeze.<br /><br />Girl's Checklist:<br /><span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>A pair of cakes (with names and sanghee) 8”- can now be same size for equality<br /><span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Men’s Watch<br /><span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Men’s Medallion Necklace<br /><span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Men’s Bracelet (Optional)<br /><span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>8 pcs.

We were lucky with New World Makati's tinghun package, as they provided most of the items needed during the ceremony like teacups, bowls, engagement ceremony food etc.<br /><br />Here are some photos of what happened during our Tinghun day:<br /><br /><b>Preps</b><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ahhOHY9tcd0/XDGfY_dLUqI/AAAAAAAAh20/qt40EDgQBzcqSwBkrjsbhmPgXIUZSQnHACKgBGAs/s1600/tinghun%2Bpreps.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

Preparing for both tinghun and wedding may be exciting, but it can also be stressful at the same time. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">A month before our tinghun day, I was worried I won't be able to fit in my gown. It was quite tight that we decided to adjust it by an inch so I can wear it comfortably. Since our tinghun was a very special day for us, I wanted to look good and feel good. We regularly went to the gym, stayed away from unhealthy food and avoided eating out.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Qouel41GPEU/XChGnvJgPHI/AAAAAAAAhyE/__HMmruG6ikv9LgwjTErl2nONwSEOXIEQCKgBGAs/s1600/DSCF0963.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1052" data-original-width="1600" height="420" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Qouel41GPEU/XChGnvJgPHI/AAAAAAAAhyE/__HMmruG6ikv9LgwjTErl2nONwSEOXIEQCKgBGAs/s640/DSCF0963.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Then, I learned about <b>The Zen Institute- A Medical Spa</b> through a former schoolmate. I've always been curious if these non-invasive medical clinics really work. I know for a fact that these treatments cost a lot of money, and results depend on each person. I thought, if results aren't guaranteed, why bother trying it in the first place. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /><a name='more'></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;">But since it was for a special day, I decided to try their services. I scheduled for a free consultation to know which treatment is best for my problem areas and how much it would cost.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The consultation started with a one on one session with The Zen Institute's resident doctor. I filled up a form with my details, had my measurements taken, and we talked about my problem areas for assessment.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ImKA2BLSbYA/XChO9mfrZrI/AAAAAAAAhys/yhH8tuXDROohyh_2l9PvWXtQbSYUO0ezQCKgBGAs/s1600/DSCF0968.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1067" data-original-width="1600" height="426" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ImKA2BLSbYA/XChO9mfrZrI/AAAAAAAAhys/yhH8tuXDROohyh_2l9PvWXtQbSYUO0ezQCKgBGAs/s640/DSCF0968.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div></div><div style="text-align: justify;">After the consultation, the doctor then recommended the right treatment and services to address my problem. She recommended <b>UltraLift </b>and <b>Mesolipo</b>. I was told that results can be seen after 3-5 sessions, and that I can do both treatments at the same time. They recommended 5 sessions for each treatment (once a week) just in time for our tinghun day.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-VozTRyIpfSA/XDHB_zaBRCI/AAAAAAAAh-4/2GIclBp_1UMvhAOLhEciSQuMRjFd2NeNgCKgBGAs/s1600/DSCF0973.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1067" data-original-width="1600" height="426" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-VozTRyIpfSA/XDHB_zaBRCI/AAAAAAAAh-4/2GIclBp_1UMvhAOLhEciSQuMRjFd2NeNgCKgBGAs/s640/DSCF0973.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Ultralift /Ultralipo</b> is a soothing massage-like treatment that uses ultrasound cavitation targeting the cell membranes of the fat cells and breakdown and release the triglycerides.

I've always hated needles. The last time I had my vaccine, I ran out of the clinic and bit the arms of my pedia. I was 5 years old. Right after college, I had to take a blood test for a medical exam, I literally cried like a baby inside the hospital.<br /><br />After much contemplation, I realized I had to face my fear once and for all. So, I finally decided to do it.

Popcorn has various health benefits, not known to many since its high in antioxidants. Sometimes even more than many fruits and vegetables. It’s also a good source of fiber.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-CX9lyQzvsk0/XCxg_G0E11I/AAAAAAAAhzQ/TttoirX0DEQtWRKIgLu8ALSKSFmmcx-UgCLcBGAs/s1600/popcorn-cups-on-pink-background_23-2147775777.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="352" data-original-width="625" height="360" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-CX9lyQzvsk0/XCxg_G0E11I/AAAAAAAAhzQ/TttoirX0DEQtWRKIgLu8ALSKSFmmcx-UgCLcBGAs/s640/popcorn-cups-on-pink-background_23-2147775777.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">You can pair a bowl of popcorn with a glass of cold beverage or ice cream while watching movie.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><a name='more'></a><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">However, many people love eating popcorn although some of them do not know exactly how it’s prepared. If not well prepared your popcorn might not end up being as tasty as it should be. Preparation involves not only the right equipment, but also the right oil and amount of oil. Here are 4 tips to making your own popcorn at home and ensure that it has the best crunchy feel and flavor that you want.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Check the method</b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-KEFJl1c6-ok/XCxh-9SXaFI/AAAAAAAAhzY/iKSeG5fjhxQON-XfpvYGX_Cglp6WaDoqgCLcBGAs/s1600/popcorn1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="380" data-original-width="550" height="436" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-KEFJl1c6-ok/XCxh-9SXaFI/AAAAAAAAhzY/iKSeG5fjhxQON-XfpvYGX_Cglp6WaDoqgCLcBGAs/s640/popcorn1.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">Popcorn is not just made using any method. For you to have the best and healthy popcorn, you need to air-pop it to ensure that you retain all the nutrients that are in it. Air-popping uses no oil, reducing the amount of calories that you end up consuming. Alternatively, you can pop it in oil, but this is not a healthy way since there is a large portion of fat that you ingest.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Consider the cooking equipment</b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">People use different cooking equipment when making popcorn. One of the fastest ways home users like using is the microwave popcorn method. However, this is not a healthy method, especially due to the fact that it often contains too much salt. Also try and limit kettle corn where the popcorn is made by mixing it with refined sugar, salt and oil. There is a high chance of large calorie and salt intake when use a kettle.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-aACQavXsqc4/XCxh-5uKBgI/AAAAAAAAhzc/Mrb_R8gWGFshQ0BWU-XpDwI_OrwW0U2YACLcBGAs/s1600/popcorn%2Bmachine.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="480" data-original-width="852" height="360" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-aACQavXsqc4/XCxh-5uKBgI/AAAAAAAAhzc/Mrb_R8gWGFshQ0BWU-XpDwI_OrwW0U2YACLcBGAs/s640/popcorn%2Bmachine.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The best equipment to use to make your own popcorn is a <a href="https://leelalicious.com/guide-best-popcorn-popper/" target="_blank">popcorn machine</a> or cooking stove. It makes the popcorn not only to taste great, but it’s also fast. However, since using a stove requires that you make the popcorn with oil, it can be dangerous, especially if you are not keen on the amount of oil you use. Use at least 2 tablespoons for making your own popcorn and avoid using too much.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Consider the portion sizes</b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-cgUnc7WHWlQ/XCxioYG7PBI/AAAAAAAAhzo/NmyHN7uL6aUqDt40ZWKDmXWexldmVZ-QwCLcBGAs/s1600/popcorn%2Btub.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="350" data-original-width="467" height="474" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-cgUnc7WHWlQ/XCxioYG7PBI/AAAAAAAAhzo/NmyHN7uL6aUqDt40ZWKDmXWexldmVZ-QwCLcBGAs/s640/popcorn%2Btub.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Portion sizes are very important when it comes to making your own popcorn. Though each serving size depends on the type of popcorn you are making, mostly, one cup of plain popcorn is almost 30 calories so you need to manage the portion sizes well. You should also avoid adding toppings since this will increase the calorie count.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Choose the right cooking oil</b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The best cooking oil to make your own popcorn is extra virgin olive, walnut or avocado oils.

The place was bright and cozy, with natural light beaming through the large glass windows. The Glasshouse can fit up to a maximum of 8 tables. Since our total guest count was almost 100pax, we went for 8 tables of 12s, instead of 10 tables of 10s which would require a ballroom setup. New World Makati Hotel's tables are bigger than the average size, so it can comfortably accommodate 12 persons.<br /><b><br /></b><b>Engagement Ceremony Noodles and Sweet Tea Eggs</b><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-pgB7iSTjYuQ/W9ltlG_SMpI/AAAAAAAAhhc/5-oEuol3qCQQrF7XQes5FY5y6sdyYmfzQCKgBGAs/s1600/new%2Bworld%2Btinghun%2Bmisua.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1069" data-original-width="1600" height="426" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-pgB7iSTjYuQ/W9ltlG_SMpI/AAAAAAAAhhc/5-oEuol3qCQQrF7XQes5FY5y6sdyYmfzQCKgBGAs/s640/new%2Bworld%2Btinghun%2Bmisua.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-toKNmICKj0Y/W9ltlNIRe1I/AAAAAAAAhhc/5bNE0S5bL_QeQhh2xI-9lHz0swREea0mACKgBGAs/s1600/new%2Bworld%2Btinghun%2Bsweet%2Btea%2Beggs.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1069" data-original-width="1600" height="426" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-toKNmICKj0Y/W9ltlNIRe1I/AAAAAAAAhhc/5bNE0S5bL_QeQhh2xI-9lHz0swREea0mACKgBGAs/s640/new%2Bworld%2Btinghun%2Bsweet%2Btea%2Beggs.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br />We didn't expect much on the traditional misua and sweet tea eggs, but everyone on the engagement table was pleasantly surprised with the ceremony noodles and soup.

Shopee, the Philippine's leading online shopping platform in Southeast Asia, offers a smooth and hassle-free shopping experience anytime, anywhere. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Shopee</b> is an online platform where people can buy and sell all kinds of products from clothes, shoes, gadgets, food, novelty items, accessories, and basically everything you can find in a mall or grocery. In fact, the e-commerce site also offers unique finds from international sellers and merchants which you can rarely find in stores.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-IXdiqb-zHSE/WulCSDVCR3I/AAAAAAAAg38/fOFhFtNb6-gg9uGscsaneo7R0Ic8IRlJgCKgBGAs/s1600/Shopee%2BSale.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="910" data-original-width="1522" height="382" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-IXdiqb-zHSE/WulCSDVCR3I/AAAAAAAAg38/fOFhFtNb6-gg9uGscsaneo7R0Ic8IRlJgCKgBGAs/s640/Shopee%2BSale.png" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><a name='more'></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Browsing and navigating thru the app is easy. Fashionistas can buy all sorts of trendy clothes, shoes, bags and accessories from online sellers. Tech enthusiasts can score low priced gadgets and equipment from merchants and online stores. But my favorite part is the Shopee Mall where you can check out multinational brands and companies like Unilever, Nestle, and Coca-Cola. You can also find trusted local and international brands such as Kitchen Aid, Oster, SM Store, Samsung, Huawei, Belo, Johnson's, etc.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">I personally can't get enough of the Shopee app and below are some of my wishlist and must-haves from Shopee. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b><u>Food</u></b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Being a foodie, I enjoy cooking and preparing dishes at home whenever I have time.

The bitter aftertaste just never grew on me. But putting its taste aside, I know for a fact that ampalaya is one of the healthiest and most nutritious vegetables there is. Ampalaya is most popular for treating diabetes, as it can help normalize blood sugar levels. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Good thing there is <b>Ampalaya Plus</b>, an herbal dietary supplement in capsule form, that contains <b><i>Bitter Gourd</i></b> (<i>ampalaya</i>), <b><i>Lagerstroemia Speciosa</i></b> (<i>banaba</i>), and <b><i>Turmeric</i></b> (<i>luyang dilaw</i>). These three superfood herbs are essential in lowering bad cholesterol, boosting immune system, and fighting diseases and complications.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-yLqUBEo5hXQ/Wri384AwJTI/AAAAAAAAgjQ/8HOR-8UlMl4dAaHrnL7-XrnaRZYdcdPbwCLcBGAs/s1600/ampalaya%2Bplus.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="974" data-original-width="1600" height="388" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-yLqUBEo5hXQ/Wri384AwJTI/AAAAAAAAgjQ/8HOR-8UlMl4dAaHrnL7-XrnaRZYdcdPbwCLcBGAs/s640/ampalaya%2Bplus.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><a name='more'></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />Ampalaya is known to be one of the most effective natural cures to <b>Diabetes</b>. It can also increase the luster and shine of one's hair, and prevent hair loss and greying of hair. Bitter gourd also aids skin diseases like eczema and psoriasis, reduce acne, and protect the skin from harmful UV rays. Other benefits of taking ampalaya is getting rid of hangovers, cleansing of the liver, and boosting bladder functions. It is also dubbed as the "vegetable insulin". </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Lagerstroemia Speciosa on the other hand, helps treat hypertension and stress.
