Food. Food. Food



I promised I'd write about my top ten favorite outfits, however, our laundrywoman did not come for the past two weeks, so all my favorite outfits are in the laundry since I wore them to different parties (which means I can't take an actual photo of those clothes), so this made me think of an even better topic: FOOD

Yes, you heard me right...My friends might say that since I have been dieting this 2012, I am not in the position to write about food, however, I must admit that though I controlled food intake on most of the days, I had cheat days to still enjoy.

I will take this opportunity to write about great food finds this 2012, and I hope that you get to try these places and enjoy the food as much as I did.

1. Wooden Spoon in Katipunan, Quezon City
✓ Stuffed Pechay and their Desserts are to die for.
