Last week, my friends and I had breakfast at this really nice restaurant called Rustic Mornings.
Rustic Mornings is a garden restaurant by Isabelo's Garden. I have this running joke with my friends that this place is like a harlot: Rustic Mornings in the mornings to afternoon and becomes a reservations only place by night called Isabelo's Garden. But this place is anything but a harlot. It's one homey place that seems like a house converted into a restaurant place. The place looks really romantic, and though the restaurant seems to have a high seating capacity, couples can still get some privacy because of how the tables are set up separately from each other.
I really have nothing much to say about the place because I'd rather have the pics speak for the place. But one thing that I can say is that I highly recommend this place: very warm, homey but still romantic. And the food's great too!
Now on with the pics:
The entrance to the place and parking area:
The outdoor tables: as you can see the areas are separated from each other by some cleverly decorated partitions:
The indoor dining areas: I actually find the second room, with all the artwork and old photographs, a bit creepy.
The food: Delicioso! I like how the food were reasonable priced, considering the large servings. And they're sooooo good! The price range is around 200-400php but it's worth every cent. Trust me.
French toast, hash browns and bacon.
Longganisa meal with egg and herbed rice.
Bangus meal
Country omelette with homemade bread, herbed butter and jam
All meat omelette with homemade bread, herbed butter and jam
Red velvet cupcake - sooooooo goooooood!!!!
Accents that give the place its overall rustic vibe. Kudos to the designer of the place!
And being the camwhores that we were, here are the mandatory group shots:
I really really like my experience at Rustic Mornings and I'd love to eat there again... hopefully next time with someone real special. :)

My family and I went to SM North Edsa today to take a look at the Christmas-themed Hello Kitty Village display at The Block Atrium (will have a separate post on that). After checking the display out and having tons of our pics taken, we went to check out the cupcake places I saw on the net that were open in SM North.
1. Sophie's Mom - Located at Level 3, The Block, right in front of Fully Booked and beside (?) Papa Beard.

I love their boxes. Very well-designed and the colors are so feminine.
Only a few cuppies left by 6PM.
Cute little stall, though the one is Megamall is a lot prettier!
2. Big Tummy Cakes and Cupcakes - Located at the 2nd floor, near one of the Skygarden entrance, we were fortunate to catch a few cuppies that were already discounted to 50% because it was already past 7PM.
Cute signage, and the name tickled my fancy because I do have a big tummy (courtesy of my love of cupcakes!).
50% off sign... YAY!!!
I think that their cupcakes were only their secondary offering: their main offering might be their customized made to order cakes and dessert packages.
3. Blushing Cupcakes Cafe - Located at the Sky Garden. We actually got a bit lost looking for this. Quaint little shop but not as cute as the other 2 mentioned before.
Signage, visible outside the shop are their cake slices.
Menu for the day
Still a lot of cuppies left.
Contains the cheesecake cuppies, which are more expensive than their regular cupcakes.
After my trip through these cupcake places, I now have 16 cupcakes waiting to be consumed! Oh I can practically feel all the incoming calories!
Will post the reviews for the individual cupcakes / store as soon as I'm done eating all of them. :)

So very happy to have discovered another source to fulfill my red velvet craving:
These yummy beauties were made by my schoolmate from Miriam High School, Lara. And at the price of 350php/dozen, they are quite a steal. Let me know if you want them so I can provide you with Lara's contact information.
Oh how I love red velvet cupcakes... <3

I dropped by TCK's Eastwood branch before coming to work last night to buy their Scarlet Cake. I have had this dessert before and I loved it. I think it's the first ever red velvet cake that I tasted here in Manila, and definitely won't be the last.. While waiting for the cake, I literally have Spice Girl's song running through my head, specifically the line, "Are you as good as I remember, baby? Get it on, get it on..." Haha...
Anyway, here's a pic of the cake that I took prior to eating it:

Apologies for the poor image quality as I left my iPhone at home so I had to use my trusty ol' Blackberry Curve to take this snap. Somehow, my phone's camera just fails to capture the sheer redness of the cake itself. So I guess people will just have to take my word when I say that this cake is RED!
So what's my verdict on the cake? Is it as good as I remember? Uhm, not quite. It's a really good cake but somehow, the slice that I got last night was not as moist as the one that I got before. And by comparison, I think that UCC's Red Velvet Cake is better tasting. Well anyway, what I liked about the cake was its frosting. It was deliciously decadent, and the cocoa powder was a nice touch. It added depth to the overall flavor.
Overall, I think the cake is quite good, although definitely there are better velvet cakes out there that I need to explore. I will come back for more, provided that I am within the vicinity. It's not the type that I would go out of my way just to get a bite. :)
