KoCCo but not Chanel!☺

Last week I stayed and read in Kitchen of Cakes & Coffee during my break. Well, I intentionally planned that stay because I wanted to try a couple of their cakes and drinks. I stayed there 5 days of last week so you'll be expecting 5 cakes and 5 drinks..☺


Chocolate Truffle
This is a good enough cake, for my opinion. The chocolate flavor is promising though I had a little problem with its being a little crumbly than it's supposed to be.☺


Decadent
This is good! Really is! I like it but beware it's not your usual cake when it comes to texture! You'll know what I mean when you get to taste it.☺


Chocolate Praline
Out of all the cakes here, this is the only real downer. It's bland when it comes to flavor but I gotta say the bread of the cake was good, not too crumbly and not too moist either.☺


White Chocolate Sansrival
Just so you know, Sansrival is my most favorite cake ever. There's a local bakeshop near our place that makes good, I mean real good, Sansrival and it's to die for! It's actually my basis when I try different Sansrivals. I gotta say, this one is good and I like it! It's not as good as my basis but it's good enough for me to finish the whole slice.☺



Dulce de Leche
This got to be the best out of the 5 cakes here. I mean it! The texture, the taste, the presentation, I love it!☺


White Mocha

White Caramel

Genmaicha Tea
Maple Cinnamon Coffee
Matcha Tea
All these drinks were good, I love all of it!☺ I'm a coffee & tea person so those drinks worked for me smoothly. And why would I order something I'm not gonna be able to drink in the first place? :p

Buona forchetta!☺

Last time when I was feeling down, I wanted to eat some good food because food can really cheer me up. It has never failed me, mind you!☺ Actually, it can be in the means of cooking and baking or eating, well, I usually do the latter more often. And so I decided to go that day to my well trusted, Cibo. I so love their pastas but I don't wanna be routinary that day so I picked my food choice differently.☺

If you're wondering what the heck is the title of this post, it means a hearty eater and if you don't also know, Cibo means food, both are Italian terms.☺


Crema di Zucca, Pancetta
It's Cibo's version of squash soup. And I love it! Really did!☺ It's not your traditional pumpkin soup yet it's as good! The bacon bits complimented the soup incredibly(well naturally bacon has the power to make everything tastes better!).☺



Ossobuco Gremolata
I fall in love with this one! 3 of my favorites in one meal! It made me dancing on air happy!☺ The braised beef shank is so tender you don't need a knife anymore! And I personally love gremolata, the lemon-parsley combination is just perfection! You just get the right tartness of the lemon and the freshness of the parsley. And whoever doesn't eat rice, is missing a lot on life! The rice in this dish is pilaf. I have a confession to make, don't get me wronged, but I love pilaf more than risotto, there I've said it!☺ Going back to the dish, when you combine them all--BOOM! You literally can't ask for more!☺
