Dinner at Conti's

It was my hubby's birthday and we decided to have dinner at Conti's in Serendra. My first time to eat at that location though I have already dined at their Greenbelt branch. We arrived around quarter to 7 and the place was already full. I thought it was a bit small, with a few people on the side of the door waiting for their 'take-outs'. Good thing we were not on the waiting list since they have a small table available. Just enough for the three of us - me, hubby and our little kiddo.

This is what I had:

Salmon Salpicao - P295

Hubby's:

Grilled Porkchops - P270

My li'l princess's:

Cheesy Baked Macaroni - P95

I find my salmon salpicao great since I can really taste the garlic. And it is salmon, so you really cannot go wrong with the fish. Unless it's overcooked. Hubby's porkchop couple was kind of okay according to him, but would not order that again.hehe. My li'l kid also did not like her baked macaroni much, or maybe she is just biased since she so loves Racks' mac 'n cheese.

Overall, the food was good. Not absolutely great, but not bad at all. =) So that gives us a chance to try out their other entrees next time.

My Little Princess

One of the first on the list in going to High Street - Club Princess. =)


A cute little store for your little princesses, with items from funky colorful bags to 'kikay' stuff. And a mini parlor too!


My little princess decided to get a flower tattoo, which only costs P95. You get to choose 3 colors, so she had pink, blue and orange. She loved it! Then silently whispered "Mommy. I want to still have this tattoo until I turn 16." That made me laugh. =)

Cupcakes by Sonja - not a two thumbs-up for me!

We had a couple of hours before the Ultimate Taste Test starts. So we went around High Street. Truly a splendid time with my little princess. =)

First stop - Cupcakes by Sonja. I have read a lot of comments about their Cupcakes, good and bad. So i thought it was good timing that we can finally taste it.

The store itself is interesting, I liked the cupcakes bouquet displayed on top of the shelves. Pretty yellow cupcakes in a pot, cute! =) My little girl was awed by the little cakes in different colors but just chose to have the mini ones. Maybe because we just baked a few batches last week for a friend's daughter's 2nd birthday. Green, orange and yellow Vanilla Sunshine, priced at P55 for the three. A little pricey I think, since I remember selling a box of 12 for these mini versions for only P80. And that was just last year! Or did I price it too low?

Anyway, the seats inside are occupied, so we went out to get a bite of the cakes. My daughter's first comment - "too sweet!" So I took a bite and yes, is indeed sweet. I ended up removing the frosting for her to just eat the cupcake itself. The cake was moist enough but I think it lacks a bit of vanilla flavor. "Your cupcakes are way better, Mommy!", she added. Aw, my sweet, loyal daughter. =) Good thing I didn't decide to get a couple big ones. Or maybe that tastes better. Maybe. I looked around and they have these on display- Banana Monkey Cream Pie, Mocha Motion, Mint Condition, Chocolate Surprise, and Red Velvet Vixen. Their cupcakes range from P55 to around P95 each, depending on the flavor. I'm not sure if I'm going to go back. Or if I am, might try the bigger ones.
