Breakfast in Bali

Sal and I went to Ortigas this sunday to do our shopping cum cardio. To start of our day, our breakfast venue was The Mega Strip and we chose to eat where paradise is just a cup away... Bali Blends.

Its a Balinese coffee shop that serves meals and desserts. Ofcourse, I have to have my morning brew and the good thing about Bali blends is that coffee is refillable! =) This is the bottomless Sumatra Coffee. Not bad for Php 80.00 but the brew is quite weak for my taste.

Sal had the strawberry smoothie because she wanted somthing cool and refreshing...

...and for our breakfast meal, we shared the vegetable omelet served with roti bread.

The omelet had zucchini, leeks and tomatoes. The roti bread was unlike the rotis that I have tried. I was used to the airy and flaky roitis I've had in Banana Leaf Curry and in Singapore Indain restos. The rotis they served us at Bali Blends were flat and somewhat like thin pizza crust. It was good though so its alright =)

After breakfast we shopped at St. Francis, Mega and Podium. We were shopping for stuff to send to Sal's sis in the U.S.. Her parents are goin there for vacation on November so our goal for the day is complete the pabli list.

We finished goin around the Ortigas malls around 2pm and went to greenhils to do some grocery shopping at Unimart. We had lunch first at Razon's. It's the famous halo-halo of Guagua place. Sal and I shared the tapsilog so that we have space for dessert =) The tapsilog was good..and we enjoyed our cool and refreshing halo-halo. It more like banana con yielo because..the laman comprised of sweet saba bananas, macapuno (that was like minced!) and leche flan. The ice is worth noting because it is fine as snow--we liked that a lot. hehehhe

We hit the tiangge, the Jewelry and Sun Shop...I am on the look out for a nice phone to use for the sun line I am planning to get--plan pa lang! War met up with us while jewlery shopping and we went to Unimart to hoard kare-kare, adobo, menudo, caldereta, pancit etc...mixes and local chicheriya =) Chocnut, breadstix, mallows, those chocolate covered cookies (like mallows na walang marshmallows) etc. Don't these junkfood make us nostalgic in more ways than one? It was really fun looking for these stuff because for quite sometime we neglect or no longer look for them when we grocery shop.

We got tired from shopping all day so we went to look for a place to have dinner. We ended upmgoin to Dexter's Bakeshop in Katipunan but they were already closing up. We just had sans rival and a chicken pie to go. We went to white plains to eat our take out and rest before heading home.

What a great end to a weekend!
