And so we finally reach the end of May, but I will not let this month go by without sharing with you some of my fave things!
See what made it to the cut this time…
Teppanyaki at Inagiku Japanese Restaurant, Makati Shangri-La
I have always loved Japanese food. And while there are a lot of Japanese restaurants in the city, I am partial to Makati Shangri-La’s Inagiku. This is my go-to place for dining with the family or for lunches with girlfriends. They recently converted one room into a private teppanyaki room where you can have your own teppanyaki chef cook the restaurant’s specialty teppanyaki dishes.

Banosmores Pie from Chichi Pastries
Next to strawberries, my next favorite dessert is anything made with chocolate. Now imagine that with the perfect topping of roasted marshmallows?! This Banosmores Pie from Chichi Pastries is a wonderful combination of the popular Banofee Pie and everyone’s childhood favorite, S’mores! It’s rich, decadent, and brings back a lot of fond memories.
They also make a delicious Banaloaf (Banana Loaf—see it behind the s’mores). This was soft, moist and flavorful. I had it for breakfast with my coffee, it was a perfect pair! I packed some for my kids too, they had it for their school baon. It is a healthy snack after all!

Mother’s Day Flowers
There’s nothing like flowers to give a home that feeling of freshness and fill it with life. Beautiful blooms are such a wonderful kind of pick-me-upper, they change not just a room’s ambiance, but the vibe and mood it is in. But I think flowers are most special when they are a gift from loved ones. I received this gorgeous bouquet for Mother’s Day from my three kids and I felt like I am the most spoiled mummy in the world! That plus the handmade cards they made that came with the flowers truly made my day. It might be a small gesture, but the thought they put into it is really what I treasure most.
