Even More Reasons to Love PERFECT MOMENTS BAKESHOP

Hello dear Marikenyos, friends, and reader friends, I am SOOO back ;-) The baby is thriving, life is great, and I continue to praise and thank God for all the wonderful works He does in our lives. I hope you've had your share of blessings, and that you have been a blessing today!

Speaking of blessing, we have been blessed to be invited by no other than our Chef - Masterbaker Josephine Po to check out the new look and menu of Perfect Moments Bakeshop in Blue Wave Marquinton. If you happen to be in the area, Perfect Moments is a great alternative (not to mention affordable) to your usual fast food chain.

 

 Welcome to Perfect Moments Bakeshop!

The Chef and the Master Baker, our allies for good food!

 The pretty lamps are still there!

 Coffee lovers, try their Vietnamese Coffee!

The new menu! I wanted to try out everything but stomach space is limited... Haha!

We decided to try the pizza offerings, since the store has a new brick oven. The pizzas are 99 PhP for a thin crust 8-inch pizza. Eat them while fresh of the oven! The crust is crunchy! :-)

 Hawaiian Pizza (99 PhP, 8")

 Four Cheese Pizza (99 PhP, 8"). A great deal for 99 pesos ;-)

We also tried the Banh Mi (49 PhP), a 6-inch sandwich of Vietnamese descent. It is a very simple, fresh-tasting sandwich. I love the chewiness of the bread and the aroma of fresh cilantro. With ground pork and liver, and the crunchiness of carrots (there's cucumber too but for my share I had to remove them because I don't eat cucumber, hehe), this sandwich is an easy favorite. Don't forget the chili sauce!

 Desserts up! Mais Con Hielo with Pinipig and Pastillas bits, topped with Leche Flan (50 PhP)

Now, let me give you some eye candy. Chef Jo and her craft assistant Jen are so talented that I can't help but take photos of their creations. Wondering where to get your cake for the family's next celebration? Contact Perfect Moments!

 Feast for the eyes

 Me want those piggies and owlies!

 Lovely!

 Hmmm... I want my wedding cake to be like this!

 Or maybe this? Hehe!

 Works of art indeed!

 Look! They have cookie pops, and minions, at that! We tried these and let me tell you... they're one of the best cookie pops out there. The cookie is soft and buttery! Kids will love this!

Hello Kitty Cupcakes

 More cookie pops! Hello Cookie Monster!

 Minion Cupcakes

 Mini Cupcakes. Cute!!

 Sesame Street Cupcakes :-) Love them!

Thank you so much Jennifer and Ate Dess for answering my never-ending questions! Chef Jo, I hope to meet you soon! xoxo

More Reasons to Love PERFECT MOMENTS

And so I am back, my dearies. So sorry to have you hanging in there!

Let me open the mid-year (Yes, it IS June!) with a post featuring one of our favorite foodie spots in Blue Wave Marikina: PERFECT MOMENTS! I love the interiors, the affordable food and the warm service at Perfect Moments. I will always go back for their carrot cake, too. :-)

We were back at Perfect Moments to get a much-needed break from all the fast food we have been feeding our human bodies with. I discovered at that moment that they serve a dish that I uber love, specially for merienda (nuninuninu). But first, some photos:

 Sis and Mom - I love theeeeeem!

Me and Mom - I love them too! Hehe!

We ordered our staples:

 Grilled Chicken (Dish comes with your choice of Plain, Garlic or Spicy rice, with free iced tea!)

Grilled Liempo (Dish comes with your choice of Plain, Garlic or Spicy rice, with free iced tea!)

 Sizzling Burger Steak (Dish comes with your choice of Plain, Garlic or Spicy rice, with free iced tea!)

Their spicy fried rice: this is the first time I tried this rice and let me tell you, it is really spicy. If your tolerance for spice is quite low, you can ask them to adjust the chili they mix with the rice.

 Super yummy egg pie!

Mom enjoying the egg pie (I just had to super promote the egg pie, no?)

Now, let me tell you about the dish that I was overly happy to find at Perfect Moments:

Pancit Habhab!!! Waaaahhhh! I loooove Pancit Habhab. Typical of the province of Quezon, this pancit is best eaten with vinegar. The thought of a place very near my home that serves pancit habhab thrills me no end...

Got pancit?

As their banner says, "Designer Cakes and Everything Else", head to Perfect Moments for a different dining experience where grilled, cakes and even pancit perfectly come together.

A BLESSED 2012, MARIKENYOS!

I told you I'd be back in a jiffy! ;-) Let me start off the year by sharing with you one really nice experience with one of the restaurants I featured here.

This weekend, my Mom got a call from Perfect Moments. They told her to go to their shop at Blue Wave Marquinton to pick something up. Thinking that it was some cake I ordered for media noche, she headed to the mini-mall to get the goods. Upon arriving at the store, my Mom was greeted by Ate Linda (our suki cashier) and was handed not one but two cakes, and told her "Thank you from the owner of Perfect Moments."

A story within a story: Perfect Moments owner Chef Josephine was browsing the net and came across this post I wrote about them and was very happy about it, so she decided to give me cakes. Awwww! Thanks so much Chef Josephine!

I am a fan of your carrot cake, so thank you so much for these cute and tasty gifts. How thoughtful! In case some of you are wondering how they were able to contact my Mom, well, they saw her on one of the blog entry's photos, and they have her number because Perfect Moments catered my sister's wedding cake last year. :)

Cheers to more food trips this year! More exciting features and "gimmicks" coming your way!

PERFECT MOMENTS

What used to be a small stand at the aisles of Blue Wave Marquinton in Marikina has now grown into a cute cafe - still in Blue Wave!

I first got acquainted with the bakeshop PERFECT MOMENTS when my sister had her wedding cake made there last year. They made her really cute cupcakes with really cute bear designs with a really cute fondant couple on top of the main cake. Bravo, Perfect Moments!

I then got reacquainted with them when I bought half a dozen cupcakes from their then small stand. The cupcakes were really good, and what really caught my heart were the carrot cupcakes. I then decided to level up and bought a slice of their carrot cake. Lovely. What I adore about their carrot cake is that they are so generous in spreading over the frosting. Yum yum yum.

Yesterday, we checked out their cafe in Blue Wave since our ulam got spoiled (boo hoo) and I was craving for their carrot cakes again. We were even happier when we learned that they serve other dishes too, at such affordable prices!

 Pan-Grilled Liempo with Java Rice

 Tuna Kebab with Java Rice

Seafood pesto

All meals come with free iced tea. :)

And now, the best part of the meal: DESSERT!!!

 Almond Molten Cheesecake

 Red Velvet Cheesecake

My Uber Favorite CARROT CAKE!!!

I can't believe we spent only 509 pesos for all of these! True value for your money. :)

We took a picture with Chef Rai, too. We saw him walking around the cafe and we asked to have a picture with him. Since I'm the one handling the camera, Mom and Sis had the Kodak moment:

We immediately knew he was the chef because we saw this cute little cake:

And we all blurted out, THAT'S HIM!!! :D
