Mary Grace Cafe with Partner Iris

Natupad din ang wish ko! Nakakain din ako sa Mary Grace Cafe. You know kasi, I have been reading and seeing people posting photos or reviews about this cafe. Food looked yummy and the ambiance is sooo cozy. I have been asking my bestfriend, May, and hubby to go with me para makakain dito. All the time, fail. Imagine, ilang months ago ko pa gusto itry jan ha! Hehe.

Then early this week, my other best friend, Iris of Three Hand Star, told me that we can go out any time this month. Just tell her lang daw earlier so she can file for leave. So we set our date to Thursday, March 7.

So yesterday, no, it is 3AM na as I write this, and it is already Saturday, so 2 days ago, we met at SM Southmall. We met around 3pm na. Agad agad, we went to Mary Grace kasi gutom na kami pareho.
We chose to stay outside because I want to smoke. Yes! I do smoke. :)

So anyway, here's the entrance outside:

Outside Mary Grace Cafe.

I call Iris as "partner". It is like a term of endearment to each other. We came from an all girl school, St. Scholastica's College, Manila, so it's like a normal thing to us already. But we're not lesb or anything okay? Nothing against lesb, I have a lot of friends who are in that thing, I just want to clear lang that Iris and I are not. :)

Going back, the table outside was nice. Girly! Hehe. First, we ordered Mushroom Pate, Prawn Pasta with Mango Papaya Vinaigrette and Mushroom Cream Pasta. However, the waiter asked us if we're sure of our order. Kasi, mushroom na yung appetizer then mushroom pa yung pasta. He was kind enough to suggest a better option. Kesa nga naman maumay kami sa mushroom. Hehe. We didn't think of that.

I asked for their best seller. He suggested Cream Cheese & Artichoke Heart Dip and Onion Dip with Crispy Cassava Chips. Honestly, I was waiting for him to suggest Grilled Kesong Puti eh, nakakahiya naman, piliin namin yung hindi nya sinuggest. And may be, those two are really the customers' faves. So we went for the Onion Dip.

Since we are sharing for all the food that we ordered, the waiter told us, he can serve the salad and pasta separately na. Hahatiin na daw nila for us. Mas convenient nga naman. :)

Here's the photo of what we ordered:

Prawn Salad with Mango Papaya Vinaigrette.

Mushroom Cream Pasta

Onion Dip with Crispy Cassava Chips

They were all yummy. I'm an any food lover. So kahit ano, masarap! Wag lang atay! Haha! Cassava Chips were really crispy and it went well with the Onion Dip. The Prawn Salad was really flavorful. I'm not really a salad person but I liked it. Favorite ko kasi ang prawn siguro. Hehe. Lastly, the Mushroom Pasta was really creamy. Honestly though, it tastes like my Chicken Mushroom Pasta. Although mine doesn't have an essence of truffle. :D

I asked partner is she wants to order dessert. Parang ang sarap nung Mango Bene eh. I want that. And since partner told me na masarap yung Chocolate Cake nila, I wanted to try that too. So sabi ko, both nalang, if it's okay with her. 

Hanee: Anong gusto mo? Gusto mo Brownie Ala Mode?

Iris: Hmmm.. Pwede kaso mas mahal cya!

Hanee: Hmmm.. (Namimili...)

Hanee: Parang ang sarap, Mango Bene nalang. Pero gusto ko din ng Chocolate Cake. Dalawa nalang.

Iris: Sige! Sige!

Hanee (Tingin kay Iris, while saying) : Okay lang ba? Dalawa nalang ha. Para "magtikiman tayo". 

Iris and Hanee: (Tingin sa isa't isa sabay tawa ng malakas). Hahahahaha!!

Hanee: I will never ever say that to a friend ever again!! Hahaha. 

Iris: Haha, ang pangit pakinggan. 

Haha! Anyway, yes! We ordered both.

Chilled Mango Bene

Chocolate Cake

Both were a winner! Mango Bene is a sure hit for me. Mango balances to the sweetness of the whole cake. So saktong sakto lang, and malamig cya! Sarap! Chocolate Cake naman was sooo yummy. Soft chocolate chiffon plus caramel-y filling inside and chocolate-y outside. Nakakatakam ulit! :D

Took this pic. :D

I definitely recommend Mary Grace Cafe to you guys. Food's great! Tamang chill lang since the place is so cozy too. People who serve you in Mary Grace are so nice as well. Highly recommended.  

Never ending ang chikahan. Good food + Good company + Chikahan = Good Vibes! Love it! We both decided to meet once in a while and try to explore other resto's in the South. :D Sama pala natin si Jane, para di magtampo. Hehe. Missed you partner! And missing you again! :) 

Next stop, Shi Lin! :)

24/7

Hello beautiful people! :)

I know it is kind of late night na, but this is the only time I can really concentrate on blogging. I have my hands full from the moment I wake up until the moment Johann sleeps at night. I really need a quiet time for blogging you know, and with Johann running around the house, won't really help me organize my thoughts.. Hehe..

Honestly though, I am online usually and mostly 24 hours a day. I just don't really get to blog a lot especially if I still have chores to do. I only check the social media and posts some things once in a while. Googling also is my thing with regards to checking recipes, how to do this and that and the like. There would be times also where in I pay the bills online. Very convenient! I can even check the bill/statement account online!

So, you see, I am not the nerdy nerdy geeky geeky type of person, but yes, I am always in front of the computer or ipad just to be online. Haha. I don't even switch the wifi modem off. As in it is running 24/7, even the laptop.

That's the beauty of having a very reliable internet provider. No problems at all! I have been a loyal customer of PLDT, I may say, because I get what I am paying for. I can be online 24/7 without having a hassle.

But, it all started when I needed to have internet for school way back highschool. So when I applied for their service, I took the advantage of that need of mine. I applied for the best plan a student would ever have. Hehe. I have the plan 1995 ever since. Been giving me the fastest internet speed. Even better when they provided me a wifi modem. We can use the internet by using a laptop, phone and ipad all at the same time. I even have the Telpad which is very useful. And it keeps getting better!

As I mentioned, I also availed of the PLDT Telpad. I like it so much! It has an Android OS. There are built-in apps that we can use here at home.

But first ofcourse, Telpad is a phone with a tablet. You can detach the tablet and can still use the Telpad like a normal phone. If you put the tablet back, it is like having the feeling of sossy-ness because you can dial phone numbers on the tablet. So parang, tuma-touch screen ka sa pagtawag sa kapitbahay mo. Hehe. Better if the person you're calling has a Telpad. You will be able to see other on the screen. Nice noh?

Since, it is a tablet, you can use it just like an iPad. You know kasi, here at home, the iPad belongs talaga to Johann. He plays games using it. John naman watches NBA a lot so he uses the laptop para he can also watch the games online. Eh since I want to check FB, Instagram, Twitter, YouTube, Blogger, Tumblr and a lot more, I want to use something to check those. Buti nalang may Telpad! I installed those apps in the Telpad so wala na kaming pakielamanan sa pagonline. Walang agawan. Hehe.

PLDT @ HOME is one of the cool apps the PLDT Telpad has. It is like an online directory of almost everything you need. Just click search, type in what you need and the app will provide you information linking to what you searched. Very convenient right?

And there's more! There are other built-in apps you can use which I know you will find interesting. Meralco app to check your bills, compute consumption and check updates, Bills Online app to check your PLDT bill online, TelMeHow to check on how to cook and other how to dos, and ofcourse, since Telpad has Android OS, you can still download apps and games of what you want and need.

Tell me, wouldn't you want a service like that? Well, I am a satisfied customer and I am getting more than what I am paying. Best provider ever (haven't been with other providers but I don't need OTHER provider), giving the best service and convenience at our fingertips. What more can we ask for? :)

For more info on PLDT @ Home, check this website.

PS: I mentioned above I am usually in front of the laptop/pc/ipad. Yes, I am. Always, but, only after I finish my chores, attended to Johann's and John's needs and when kiddo is sleeping already. Hihi. (Baka kasi sabihin ninyo, pinababayaan ko si kolokoy just to be online eh. Hehehe, nag-explain?)
