Toastbox, my happiness in a box!

I've been eyeing this uber-cute resto ever since I started working in The Fort, Taguig. Reason was the interior including the comfort room looks like my dream bedroom and the photos of the foodah on the menu look so deliciously sinful. But given the interiors, I knew that that resto would require me to either withdraw a handsome amount of money at my ATM or wash the dishes in exchange for payment. I was wrong.

One fateful day, my officemates and I finally acknowledged the fact that we'll be forever craving about this Toastbox unless we give our curiosities a chance to taste it. Sweldo day ata yun kaya malalakas ang loob. O sya, upon entrance, we went directly to the cashier where the pictures of the foodah are placed on a poster above. I saw their noodles ranging from P180-P200++ so I immediately disregarded ordering one. Besides, I'm there for the TOAST. I asked "ate" in the counter about their bestseller toast box, which was the one with coconut paste and butter(?). Nga lang, I was doubtful at that time about the coconut paste--I don't want to risk a possibility rushing to the CR afterwards. So after some staring sa menu, I decided venture on their Floss Set for P150. That includes a really tall glass of tea and two soft-boiled eggs.


In all honesty, I didn't know what to do with the soft-boiled egg. Aba, hindi naman ako nagtotoast-toast-an sa bahay no! Sorry naman sa fried rice every breakfast ko, charot! So ayun, my officemate started breaking the egg shell and lo and behold ang messy pala nyang kainin. So we learned our lesson from her and broke it gently with napkins ready to the rescue. Although parang ang awkward samahan ng soft-boiled egg ang floss bread, I was so freakin shocked nung tinikman ko na. Isang OMG na malutong ang aking na-say. It was so delicious! And not mention, the tea also tasted great! It's very much unlike yung mga nauusong tea-tea (oops no malice there) sa mga malls--yung mga tipong mapapait na ewan. Malamang tea, pero di naman kailangan magsuffer ng aking tongue sa pait duvah.


I learned na may iba pa palang branches ito like sa Trinoma with Bread Talk, and in Robinsons Ermita. Kaso lang both are very hard to find. Yung sa Rob Place Manila, dulong-dulo, di mo aakalaing may resto pa dun, akala mo bodega na lang. Sa Trinoma din, medyo mahirap hanapin. My P150 was so worth it. Actually, if you're not into getting the whole set/meal, you can just order the toastbox itself for P60. Then P15 for every egg. But I totally advise that you put 2 soft-boiled eggs para hindi bitin. On my second visit kasi to the place, I tried to have only 1 egg and I ended up longing for another. (Hahaha, ang pangit basahin ng sentence na yan)

Bottom line: It's a must try talaga, especially if you are a huge fan of floss breads. I haven't tried their rice meals pa. I can't say I'm that interested in them eh. And the place is really cute for chitchats or even dates.

Passion Restaurant - Resorts World Manila

Better late than never! Ewan ko ba bakit inabot ng ilang buwan bago ako ganahang isulat to. Haha. But anyhow, let's go straight to the details: Le family ordered the package that's good for six people which was around P4,000 (I think). Ang susunod na mas maliit na package ay good for four, which is around P2,500? Please correct me if I'm all wrong kasi anong petcha na teh. Haha. Limot ko na, lalo na pag digits lol. Credits to my former boss for giving all of us under his team GCs Overall, kebs lang lasa. But when I say kebs, it signifies something not so "wow"-ish. Anyway, here are the photos from le bf's camera. Can't remember which one I shot, pero pag maganda, sa kanya yun for sure. Haha. Pag chakabels, mine. Peanuts: Libre ata ito. Or well, siguro naman sa P4,000 na presyo libre na ito. Haha. Labo. Pero ayun, kung may pinaka na-enjoy man ako, ito yun. Sweet sya. Di ko alam why, di ko tinanong basta masarap. At refillable. Haha ang babaw. 

TonTon Massage at The Fort

After much recommendation from le boyfriend, we finally got to try TonTon Authentic Thai Massage together at The Fort. It's a very short walk from my office in BGC. Despite its high end location, the price is surprisingly affordable. The 1-hr whole body massage is at P350 and you could choose to have back or foot massage only for the same duration and price. That's usually the discounted price for those not-so-popular massage havens in online coupon sites already, and yet it's just TonTon's original rate. Photos from their official FB   (The entire area was so dark that it would make no sense to take photos from my phone) Just like in another Thai massage parlor in Makati called Nuat Thai (P250 per hour), the intro of the whole session was a couple of minutes spent in soaking feet in warm water. Sabi ni boyfriend it might contain something else aside from water since iba yung dulas na pakiramdam once dried na ang feet. Anyway, after that, the massage starts.

Beijing Foot Spa - Greenhills

So I'm off to another blog post this Easter! This time, though I've vowed on a teaser yesterday to write 3 restos, let me divert to another spa haven this time in Greenhills, San Juan. I'm talking about Beijing Foot Spa, which is right in front of Mercury Drug in GH and a stone's throw away from G Strip and the GH mall parking lot. Photo from Greenhills.com This was a random spa pick since le boypren and I went to Tiendesitas for some window-puppy-shopping (btw, most of them look sickly and sad). Thanks to the free shuttle from Tien to GH, we got our feet on another adventure. We didn't intend to have a foot massage pero the walk we had in Tien and some strolling in GH for Sigma lenses were both exhausting! We were so tired, siguro dahil na rin sa init ng panahon, so I said na if we could find a TonTon Thai Massage branch somewhere in GH, we would go. Pero we had no more energy left to explore the place even further. We ended up in this posh-looking spa which w
