Gelatissimo, Cebu
This particular post is very hard to write. Two days ago, my husband and I received some very bad news from my in-laws.
Gelatissimo
Can you believe how hot it’s been this summer?!? I read somewhere that it’s the hottest it’s ever been in Cebu in a long time!
Coffee Crumble
The past week has been like hell.
I was taking care of a sick Baby who had cough and colds because she’s teething. That was for 4 days. No straight sleep, no proper showers, no good homemade food. She would not let me put her down for more than 10 minutes. Eventually, she started to feel better but I got sick!
Selecta Gold Series: Hazelnut Brownie
I wanted to like this. I really did. I mean, what is there not to like? Do I like Hazelnut? Check. Do I like chocolate? Check. Do I like Brownies? Double check. So when I finally had the chance to try the Selecta Gold Series: Hazelnut Brownie and I didn’t find anything spectacular about it, I was sorely disappointed.
Selecta Gold Series: Chocolate Truffles
Selecta Gold Series: Chocolate Truffles
One of Selecta Gold Series’ new flavor, Chocolate Truffles, is described as “a triple wonder of milk chocolate ice cream with luscious chocolate truffles and swirls of chocolate fudge”. Developed by Chef Rolando Laudico, this sinful treat is too delicious for words. It’s a perfectly balanced mixture of chocolate and cream; a chocolate lover’s dream.
Nestle Heaven Strawberry Dream
I hate the heat, well except, maybe if we’re spending the day at the pool or at the beach. In the past few days, the heat has become my no. 1 enemy. I crave nothing more right now than taking a long vacation lying on a lounge chair on the beachside while sipping ice-cold piñacolada and listening to the sound of the sea and people walking by. Yes, I miss Boracay. Every College summer vacation, my Dad and I would pack our bags and go to Boracay. He’s not much of a beach-person but there’s this little quaint French restaurant/hang-out that he loved. Aside from the good food, he would treat himself with buying French books for a very good bargain price. Dad even invited Hubby (my-then-boyfriend) to come along with us. For four straight years, Boracay was our summer escape place for a week. It’s been two years now that we haven’t gone back. And on hot days like today, I like imagining going back there with my kid and family.
For the meantime, I am contenting myself with trying out different kinds of ice cream to beat the summer heat. Can you believe the number of ice cream flavors that are available now? I remember the time when vanilla and chocolate were basically the only flavors available. Then rocky road came out and other chocolate-inspired ones. Then, it was pistachio and fruits-inspired. Now, there are over a hundred to choose from. And not just from the local brands, more and more imported brands are emerging in the Filipino market. I personally prefer the local ones. So here I am, officially commemorating the start of our summer ice cream escapade 2009.
