Food Share: Saint Honorè Clubhouse

 Tucked in the quiet corner of Samar and Sct. Torillo streets is a charming cafe that serves heavenly breads and pastries. It's called Saint Honorè Clubhouse.

This is merely walking distance from my work so when I'm craving for an almond croissant, this is my place.

The al fresco area is so apt with the quiet community. You get to have a view of the Eiffel tower pa oh? hehe

I fell in love with this beauty at first meet, an almond croissant baked fresh (P75)

my Vittoria latte, an Australian blend (P60)

and some complimentary treats from the very hospitable and pretty owner, a napoleon and a sour bread with butter. Yum! 

I particularly love the napoleon, it's light yet very unforgettable. 

A service bell (er, buzzer) if you're dining al fresco

They also serve pastas and other dishes. I have yet to try their Carbonara and their dish selection with Truffle oil which are their best sellers. I've tried their Ziti for lunch and it's just total comfort food after jumping from one meeting to the other. 

Mommy Moments - Restaurants

We are a family of eaters! I'm blessed with kids who are not picky eaters.

And who doesn't love to eat? It's just a great pleasure :)

When eating out with kids, we try to veer away from fast foods and go to restaurants instead for the ff. reasons:

1.) we always get healthy meals even eating outside;

2.) fast foods are mostly self-serviced which I don't like especially if you have two toddlers in tow. When going to the restaurants, you will always pay more but I believe that quality service should be non-negotiable. Like when a trying-to-be-independent-and-eat-on-his-own Sam drops his spoon, there is a waiter with an extra spoon ready. 

3.) restos which are kid-friendly have art materials for kids to enjoy while waiting for food. Again, quality service.

4.) another major factor of restos over fast foods is the restroom. Need I say more?

This is a late post for Mommy Moments. I was busy last Friday with errands and my very first PTA meeting :)

YakiMix Experience

Last Friday, husband and I decided to eat at Yaki Mix. It was a treat after a week of busy busy work. Off to Trinoma branch we go as T. Morato is always full according to some friends. When we got to the mall, there was a waiting list, we were 6^th in the list but after 15 mins or less, we got a seat.

I love seafood and Japanese food. I grew up having crabs and prawns for breakfast and fish for dinner so YakiMix was really a treat for me.

Price of the buffet is P580/pax for adult, excluding drinks. The price is not bad since the selection is wide: Maki, Sushi and Sashimi, Tempura, salads, cooked meat and pasta dishes, soups, desserts, etc. They also have a korean dish selection. My favorite would have to be the grill selections – they have prawns, pork, beef, fish like marlin and salmon and tuna, cuttlefish, vegetables, etc. So much food so little time J By the way, YakiMix Trinoma closes at 10pm and they usually declare last trip to the buffet at around 930pm.

I heard from other reviews that Yaki Mix falls short on the yumminess category but, then again, it’s a price that’s worth our hunger. I practically finished 15 maki and sashimi! Not to mention the tempura. LOL! I also had fun with the grilling since I love cooking. I seasoned, flavored and infused my meat with any available flavor and condiments. Husband was amused kung paano ko kinareer ang grilling J

there is an array of sauces to choose from: bbq, satay, soy sauce, etc. 

my third plate of maki and sashimi. i can't remember their names anymore, there's just so many varieties

 Don’t forget to leave room for dessert. They have ice cream, cakes, mousse, fruits,etc.

desserts. I really had fun with this 

ice cream with a few of my fave toppings

All in all, YakiMix was a fun and filling experience. I will definitely come back J
