Have yourself a very Red Ribbon Christmas

While waiting in line at the mall this afternoon, my colleague reminded me that we have 18 days left before Christmas. I gave her a frightened look and told her that I am not yet done with my Christmas shopping and this has been stressing me out for two weekends already.

She, on the other hand, was still thinking of her Noche Buena menu.

Noche Buena is a truly Filipino tradition where the family gathers around the dining room after coming home from the Christmas mass and feasts on sweet ham, fruit salad and more! As I try to throw in some suggestions that my colleague can include in her menu, I remembered that delicious slices of cakes that I was treated to by Red Ribbon last week.

Santa's Wish Cake

First was the Santa's Wish Cake (Php. 550). Christmas is a very busy time of the year as our schedules are filled to the rim with dinners, exchange gifts, parties and a lot more. For those who are always on the go and do not have the luxury of time to shop for gifts, why not drop by your favorite Red Ribbon store and order a couple of Santa's Wish Cakes that may be personalized with your very own dedication!

This adorable looking cake is made with moist rhumbutter with caramel filling and covered with smooth icing. Kids will surely love the gumpaste christmas trees at surrounding the cake. It's a very light yet sweet satisfying cake that will surely put a smile on its lucky recipient.

This cake is available on a pre-order basis at any Red Ribbon store from November 27 to December 15. Furthermore, to help you beat the holiday rush, it will also be available off-the-shelf from December 22 to 24!

Chocolate Walnut Fudge

Can you spell I-N-D-U-L-G-E-N-T? Christmas is the time of the year where most puts their diets on hold. Tis the season to be jolly and we allow ourselves to indulge away. As you feast on mom's signature fruit salad or on that mouthwatering lechon, be sure to leave some space for dessert. I'm not kidding when I say that this is one of the best tasting cakes that I've tried and I'm willing to go back for more.

We were given a slice of the new Chocolate Walnut Fudge (Php. 650) that's made with Hershey's Dark Chocolate. The cake has two layers that being of a creamy mousse filling on top of a moist fudge-y brownie base. Both layers are loaded with chopped walnuts and the entire cake is finished off with dark chocolate ganache and lined with chocolate curls. This is truly a chocoholic's dream cake!

Both cakes are available only for a limited time in all Red Ribbon outlets. Why not include a delicious Red Ribbon cake into your Noche Buena menu this Christmas? :)

 Annyeong! It's been a while since my last blog post and boy this year is zooming by oh so fast!  So, how has everyone been?  As for me, I've been extra busy with work as I recently took on a new role that's equally exciting and challenging but really, I love theAsiaparent and I love my team and I am so excited to grow with everyone this year. On the domestic side, Yaya M has left us (again and for good this time) and we wish her luck in finding her one true love.  Meanwhile, my twins have started pre-school this year so Paul and I have also took on our new roles as Teacher Mommy and Teacher Daddy. I'm still sad that my twins will most likely not experience nursery life such as meeting new friends, being part of school programs, gaining independence and more. Pre-school life was so much fun for me and it breaks my heart knowing that by the time the pandemic is over, they might have to enter big school already. *sigh*  I'm glad that we enrolled them in Kindermusik ea

Taste of Royalty : Caviar Pie by Kamikalu

Image
From the name itself -- Caviar Pie -- immediately brings forth the feeling of being part of the higher social class where women and men would gather (pre-pandemic, of course) to socialize over expensive wine and cocktails and enjoy hors d'oeuvres served in small containers or on top of the daintiest crackers or crostinis. If we go back in time, it's giving me images of being one of the ladies of the Bridgerton  families as they would be waiting in their sitting room and would lady-likely spread just the right amount of Caviar Pie on top a piece of crackers. Forgive me as I was obviously Netflix bingeing all year thus the multiple reference to some of Netflix' biggest shows. If you haven't watched Bridgerton, well then, I highly recommend for you to do so.  Okay, going back to Caviar Pie . This is probably one of my favorite snack to have. It's simple to make but what makes it special are the premium ingredients found inside. In fact, it's like the classier, ver

Manoy Roast: Delicious Chicken and Frozen Meals

I've mentioned that Yaya M has left us already and if there's one big challenge that majority of the households are currently facing is the lack of good, reliable help. When a helper leaves, it's harder now to hire a new one simply because you have to take all the precautionary measures before she actually starts work and that means having to do the recommended 2 weeks quarantine, swab test and all the checks. The worst thing is after going through all that, you then realize that the helper falls short of your expectations or worst, she would come up with whatever excuse to leave right away *sigh*. We are lucky though that despite the countless number of undesirable ones who have given all the excuses in lies in the books, we have found good reliable ones who are truly blessings in our household.  I remembered when Yaya M first left us and we had R with us here at home. We would help out to make the workload lighter for her. For instance, we would take care of cooking to al
