Foodfind: Home-Made Cassava Cake

Lots of food products are now sold here at the office as snacks or take home as pasalubong. One of my colleagues offered me this sample cake made by her agent. I find it good so I ordered one for my family (taken last Tuesday that I get one on Friday).

Yes, it was a home-made cassava cake. I ordered the one with leche flan on top and the other flavor is with a macapuno slice. One order is 12 quite big slices for only PHP100. 


It’s tasty with the right amount of sweetness. The cassava is well grated that I cannot taste those long strips I often taste from eating fresh one (sorry I cannot remember what it is called). Also the cake is firm and quite big than those commercially offered. Another plus is that it stays soft even after it’s put in the fridge.

The only downside is I hope there’s a bigger slice of leche flan on top of each serving instead of a really small one (even for the macapuno one). Or maybe add some cheese on top.

Overall, it is really good that I will order another set as my snacks this time. 

I can delay diet or exercise the carbs off afterwards right?

201408: New Haul This Week

Yay, it's here! Got the replacement bag the current bag I use for work. The canvas bag is way much bigger and spacious than the one I am currently using which is good – got space for the umbrella and slippers for this rainy season and my note. I love the black bag but I really need to let it go before it is greatly damage (hoping the colors can still be fixed though). Anyway, I bought this from an online store called 'The Balik Bayan Box Sale' in Facebook.


This is the first time I made an order from this shop after much thoughts and checking for feedback. All I can say is the handler/owner of the shop is courteous and gives quick response for query and clarification even if it is sent via e-mail only. 

Next are my sets for my collection card. First is Sunny 10 cardst bough from koreancards1004. The owner of the shop is friendly and sends the card promptly after payment is made. I won from the auction the Xiumin and Kris version C card (hoping to have the A and B version too!)

Everything is neatly wrapped when I receive the cards though I feel sad that the Shoemarker card got some marks (compared to the one I previously bought) and not inside the folder-like pack.

Sweet Cravings Satisfied

My craving for sweets is getting bad these days thus I end up buying these earlier at the store.


Big Bang has been my favourite since my highschool days and it even end up as my fuel buster when I was in college when I running late for my 7 AM class. Then there’s the new flavour Banana Split with bits of banana . Sorry but still the classic one cannot be beaten, it’s still my fave snack.



Then I saw the Firklover chocolate when I open the fridge to get some water. Damn, just can’t help but open it and a part.



 Sorry but I just can’t get enough of sweets today. Good luck to my diet.
