Upon entering you'll surely feel at home because of the ambience here is peaceful and quiet. It's a great place if you want to have some alone time or meeting with your friends over a cup of coffee. 


The interiors are beautiful too. They have some of London's famous attraction like the big red phone booth located outside the shop and for a nice London touch they have this big comfortable couches designed with United Kingdom's Flag. 








Just recently they had launched their festive campaign called "Wish Upon A Costa". They have 6 new cakes, pastries and beverages that you can now enjoy during this holiday season. 









First, we tried is their Purple Glazed Cake, it's a ube sponge cake layered with yema and has mirror glazed frosting on top. 





Next is the Merry Choco-Mint Cake, it's a layer of chocolate sponge cake and peppermint buttercream topped with mirror glazed chocolate ganache. 




Candy Cane Cake, it's a layer of vanilla sponge cake with cream cheese and buttercream frosting. 


Cheesecake YulBar, it has crushed graham crust, creamy cheesecake and topped with chocolate ganache.

Then the Ginger Bread Cookies, it's like a whoopie-pie made of gingerbread and with buttercream filling. 


My top faves are the Purple Glazed Cake and the Cheesecake YulBar. 

For the beverages, we sampled three hot and 3 cold drinks.


 First one is their Golden Hazelnut which is a hot chocolate, made of golden hazelnut syrup, dark chocolate powder and topped with whipped cream and cookie crumbs. 




Next is the Billionaire Hot Chocolate, it's made of caramel, dark chocolate powder and topped with caramel and golden crumbs. 





And last for the hot variant is the Salted Pistachio Mocha, it's a coffee-based drink with some chocolate and salted pistachio syrup. 


My fave among the hot variant is the Golden Hazelnut Mocha because I love hot chocolate that's not too sweet and this drink has just the right sweetness to it. 

For the cold blended variants. We tried first the Salted Pistachio Mocha Frostino. It's a blend of dark chocolate sauce, coffee and topped with whipped cream and pistachio crumbs. 

Candy Cane Frostino, it's hot chocolate that has a mint flavor to it and topped with whipped cream, candy crumbs and strawberry syrup. 

Last is the Golden Hazelnut Frostino, it's made of roasted hazelnut, dark chocolate topped with whipped cream, golden crumbs and chocolate curls. 



All of the beverages tasted good and refreshing. Same goes with their cake and pastries. 



So, if you're looking for a place where you can just relax, eat and enjoy a cup of coffee, then Costa Coffee and their festive beverages and cakes are perfect for you.

MAKE BRUSH TIME HAPEE TIME | How to make brushing teeth fun for kids | FAMBLOG

How to make brushing teeth fun for kids Getting your kids to brush their teeth isn't always easy. Explaining how essential oral care is just doesn't seem to be doing the trick. Kids thinking that brushing their teeth is something that they've got to do routinely makes the task seem boring to them.  Every day is a struggle for me to brush my kids' teeth.

CONSISTENCY and ROUTINE As much as you want your kids to have fun while brushing their teeth, they have to know that tooth brushing is a daily routine and part of cleaning their body too.

NEW PERUVIAN RESTAURANT IN QC | CEVICHE PERUVIAN GASTRO PUB | FOODVENTURES

Ceviche is a new Peruvian Restaurant in Quezon City. It is the well-known before as 'Don Andres Peruvian Restaurant' in Scout Tobias. They recently moved their restaurant in Sto. Domingo street and changed the name to 'Ceviche'.   This is my first time to know about Peruvian Cuisine and I know that most of Filipinos are not very familiar with it too. It's great that there's a new resto to try in Banawe area that is different from what we are accustomed to.  Peru is known for their Ceviche and it's a favourite dish of many in Peruvian cuisine. Ceviche is like our Kilawin but instead of using vinegar, they use citrus fruits like lime or lemon. The resto has a very homey ambience. Great painted wall art and colorful tables and chairs. Ceviche is also a gastropub and they have plenty of alcohol, beers and cocktails that you can choose from.  Ceviche has a wide menu from chicken to pork to beef to seafood.  ...
