Whimsical Wednesday: Sinful Treats

Whimsical Wednesday shows my fancy in a myriad of beautiful things.

Finally! Here's now a coffee shop in Ozamis that serves Instagram-worthy food presentation and it is in the body of The Coffee Lounge! As mentioned in my Feature Friday blog entry of the said café, I love it there since they do not only serve coffee but also non-coffee based drinks for non-coffee drinkers like me. And here are a few of their sinful treats I went gaga over last holiday season:

Green Tea Kit Kat

I always love drinking tea! May it be black tea, oolong tea, jasmine tea, or green tea - I love every variety of it! And this one is such an ingenious blend of tea-ing! It is so smooth and the sweetness is just so right. With the added Kit Kat wafer, it is a blast! I highly recommend this drink so you'll also experience closing your eyes as you take a sip of this!

Mango Tango

This crêpe is so soft and so light to the stomach. It is so savory with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top! Try this and be a little bit Frenchy in the big OC!

Pink Banana

Banana milkshakes are so healthy because bananas are rich in potassium. If you cannot get your child to eat bananas, then have this as your weapon! They will surely love this and would definitely ask for another glass or more!

If ever you're already bored with same old menus being served to you, come and visit The Coffee Lounge at Royal Garden Hotel along Burgos corner Zamora Sts., Ozamis City!

Feature Friday: The Couch

Feature Friday highlights businesses, people, fashion, and basically anything under the sun!

Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens

Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens

Brown paper packages tied up with strings

These are a few of my favorite things......

I'm always fond of singing this Sound of Music song since I was little. When somebody bullies me at school, I just sing this song which instantly vanishes my blues away. Although the things in the song are not really my favorites, singing the song still makes me smile! :)

By the way, I'm telling you this because I've got this one favorite thing today! It is soft as a mallow, bouncy as a teddy bear, and homey as a warm embrace. It is none other than - the couch at Café Eduardo!

The couch has been there for me since last year! When there are things to celebrate, we celebrate with her!

Reunion with High School Batch Mates

When there are family gatherings, we fellowship with her!

With Tita MM, Ella, and Reija

Playing with Reija

With Cousins

When there are friends in town, we catch up and bond with her!

With High School Friends

With the Balikbayans

With Baby Niña

When there are fresh gossips in the city, we whisper with her!

The Partners In Crime with L-my

And when there are things to confide, we open up with her!

With Atsi Ann Sharon

The couch has seen me through these days that I already considered her as one of my girl friends! That's the reason why I regard her as "her"! If only the couch could talk, she could tell you of my ups and downs, my laughters and frowns, and my glories and falls.

I am so glad there is Café Eduardo where I can be so comfortable hanging out in! It is my place of refreshment not only physically but also mentally and emotionally. It is my "chicken soup" for my languid soul. For a hundred bucks of coffee with a friend or two or more can keep me sane from my grueling workaholic attitude!
