It's been quite a while since I posted something for my Eat Buy Try section. Honestly this post has been sitting in my draft for quite some time now. lol I'm just prioritizing my posts or I'm just being lazy! ahaha Anyway, let's stop talking about laziness here and focus on the sixth entry of my blog's Eat Buy Try section.

EAT: The Suite Room

It's really true that once you graduated college, meeting your college friends will require so much effort. For so many reasons like work, setting up a meeting time and date could get really hard especially if you and your friends are not working on the same company.

I haven't met my friends Cherry and Alyssa for quite a long time since they transferred another company, so we decided to set a day for us to meet. My friends tasked me to look for a place and suggested 'The Suite Room' in Ayala Center Cebu.


















Lyssa, Cherry and I decided to go for the same thing. Lyssa said, "I'll order what Tine ordered 'cause I trust her judgment on foods." haha whatever that means lol
We had L.A Galbi (208php), which tastes really good. This comes with a side dish that we are free to choose from. L.A Galbi's cut actually reminds me of bacon except the fact that it isn't fried. 


I chose cream of squash soup as my side dish for the L.A Galbi. It tasted okay, which means nothing really special about it. It's not so creamy as I thought it could be but it taste generally fine.

Lyss and Cherry chose french fries as their side dish. And it tasted like regular fries haha

My BFF Shie chose something that is called All-of the Above, (I'm not so sure, I wasn't able to take note of its name), but it's a combination of some pesto, beef and salad.
My friends had shakes too. Lyss had Strawberry-Banana shake, Cherry had the Chocolate-Banana while Shie had the Ripe Mango shake. All of their shakes cost 90php. My friends were very satisfied because their shakes taste really amazing!

For our desserts, we decided to give their ice cream cakes a try, which were served after our meal. We only ordered two slices , but we didn't regret it because each of them were too big for the four of us! We couldn't even finish all of them haha And I have to warn you, if you want to try their ice cream cakes, bring a chainsaw! jk, just be ready because they are so hard. We had a very hard time slicing them lol hahaha 

The Apple Cinnamon Ice Cake (above) costs 218php it is really good, but then it is too hard to slice!

We also had the Green Tea Ice Cake which only costs 208php. This one tasted like green tea so it's a little bit bitter. I'll understand if you wouldn't love this so much, but if you love green tea as I do, then you will really enjoy this!

The hotel style ambiance of The Suite Room makes it a perfect place for any dining experience. Their foods are a little pricey but they are good and their service was excellent! I love how the staffs catered to our orders and they are also very polite. I think the place is also great for private dining experience because you will always find a suitable place when you get there.

They also have three branches, so you don't have to sweat yourself if the place is fully booked or not. We enjoyed our experience in The Suite Room, but for some reasons I don't consider it my favorite. I would still visit the place again though because the items in their menu are surely worth any try!


BUY: Body Essentials














(Green tea, Asian Lulur Body Scrub, Kojie-san Cleanser+Toner, Kojie-san Whitening Soap, Hana Anti-Hair Fall Shampoo) I bought some body essentials along with other grocery items recently. I've tried some of these items before while some are relatively new to me.

I believe in the power of green tea, so I always feel like something's good in any products containing green tea. I wrote a review about Asian Lulur Body Scrub which you can read in my previous post here. I will try to write a review about the other items that I haven't tried from the items on my haul soon.

I love Kojie-san products so I want to try their newly released Cleanser+Toner. I had some hair fall experience so I bought myself an anti-hair fall shampoo. I didn't have a specific product in mind when I was in the supermarket so I just picked Hana Anti-Hair Fall shampoo. Hopefully it will do it's job and minimize my hair fall.

TRY: Baking (Again)
    If you've checked my Instagram account, you might noticed that I posted several photos of baked goods. For some reasons I just love posting what I had baked because I love the inspiration that I get from Instagram. It also helps me keep track of what I was able to make.

    I started baking when I was in high school by our home economics classes, but when I started studying in college I wasn't able to do it again. The main reason is because we do not have an oven at home and I have to prioritize things as a student. Luckily I was able to save enough money to buy one after I graduated in college. Since then I started baking, again!

    Baking is a costly hobby but it is one of the most rewarding activity for me. I feel really happy when I successfully bake something and sharing them to the people I love. As of now I'm still learning and trying out new recipes. Perhaps I might share some of them here? hahaha 

   I hope you enjoy this post! Let me know your thoughts in your comments below! :)

1. You can have privacy within the place. The cafe provides various sitting divisions that will cater their customers and the location of the cafe itself is somewhere private.
2. Their menu is amazing! Nothing in their menu disappointed me.
3. They have a really good service. Everybody who works in ALPS are so kind and homely. Like they are smiling the whole time as they serve you and they are very particular in asking about your needs too.

About Palladium
Palladium was founded in 1920 to make tires for the fledgling aviation industry. Tires were made by layering canvas bands underneath vulcanized rubber. Palladium's expertise was so advanced that soon the majority of Europe's aircraft were using Palladium tires.

After World War II, with aircraft manufacturing screeching to a halt, the demand for tires decreased dramatically. Palladium decided to open a plant in Pont De Cheruy, France, to start producing footwear that was as hard wearing as their tires. In 1947 the legendary Pampa boot was born, and the functionality, comfort and durability were so outstanding that the French Foreign Legion adopted it for their use. The Foreign Legion put the boot to the test in the harsh desert conditions of North Africa, and throughout the rugged terrain of the Atlas Mountains.

Today, the original design, classic lines and time tested utility are as relevant as they have ever been. Combining over 60 years of authenticity with modern manufacturing, premium materials and cutting edge styling, Palladium boots are ready to help you explore your street, your city, or the world.
I've been wanting to buy a pair of boots from Palladium but they are quite pricey so when I had all the money I need, I immediately got myself a pair. Heard so many good things about these boots particularly from my favorite blogger/actress Saab Magalona. 

I actually bought a pair because I really feel that the shoes carry my style and my personality as a person. I'm very particular about comfort more than anything else and I'm just so happy that I've found the perfect on the go shoes for me.

Palladium hailed their shoes as something engineered for city terrain but I pretty much wear my shoes like everywhere! LOL I love just love how comfortable and confident I feel whenever I'm wearing these boots. I even wore it on a job interview once hahaha 

If you are someone who is also into style and comfort, Palladium Boots might be perfect for you too. Don't worry because they are available in variety of other styles and colors. I just chose the black one for me ;) From what I know, they only sell their products at Traffic in Ayala Center Cebu. No other malls in Cebu are selling Palladium boots, but if you are somewhere else in the Philippines, you may visit their website for easier information.
TRY: BOWLING
I always wanted to try bowling ever since the first time I saw Paeng Nepomuceno play on TV. He was great and it felt great watching him play too. For some reasons I wasn't able to play bowling immediately. Luckily, when my elder brother went home last Christmas he was more than excited to try bowling too and of course, I went along with him and my elder sister.

At first I was so nervous to throw the ball because well, it's my first time! and my siblings kept pushing me to do it first. I was very hesitant because I don't have any idea how to do it haha There are Koreans playing beside us too and boy, they are so damn good! How they play made me feel nervous but then as I went on playing, I forgot how nervous I feel and just enjoyed the game.

Of course most of my throws sucked but then hey, I got all the pins down TWICE! you can only imagine how excited and happy I felt at that time hahaha not bad for a first timer, not bad. 

Bowling for me was addicting so I would really love to play it again. How about you guys? do you also love Bowling? or what sport do you dig?
I hope you enjoy reading the fifth post of my Eat Buy Try section. Have fun and enjoy life to the fullest!

Hello everyone! Today's fourth edition of my Eat Buy Try section will show you something cute and worthy. Have fun as you scroll down!

EAT: COFFEE PRINCE CEBU

I know talking about Coffee Prince is kind of a cliche now because too many people have their own share of post about it. But I still got the courage to post this as I wanted to share the wonderful time the place has given to me and my friends.

It was raining when my friends and I visited the place so I wasn't able to take a good shot of the cafe's cute exterior. As expected from any Korean owned establishments, it was aimed to bring something cute and pretty to their customers. They were able to do that with the help of their whole interior design and cute stuff toys and decors.
I love how the management were able to pull off a clean and cute establishment. The whole place is full of wooden division where any group of people could choose to stay.

It is safe to say that the whole place is full of Instagram worthy angle! The props and toys all around will make your day brighter too. I just hope they are constantly sanitized. :)

I was glad that they had wonderful workers too who gladly served us. I really value good service above everything else so I must say that the HR staff of the company did a great job in hiring the best people.

We were not hungry when we visit the place so we only ordered drinks for ourselves and a snack for the three of us. I had my usual fave- the Matcha Frappe which tastes really good. It is not too sweet and not too bitter. I hate it when cafes put too much sugar on their tea just because they think it would be bitter without it. But honestly, it mustn't be mixed with too much sugar or else it would defeat its purpose of being a tea.
My friends had their usual chocolate drinks. Cherry had the Java Chip Frappucino 170php while Shiela had something which is also chocolatey. Sorry, I forgot the name hehe but my friend says it is also really good.


If you are not from Cebu, you'd be surprise how Korean cafes are sprouting like mushrooms all over the city. It might be too overwhelming but still it cannot be denied how they brought a little bit of spice for the Cebuanos, not to mention how it contributes to the local economy. chos!


BUY: CAT DOG MISMATCH FLATS



I don't usually hoard cute and girly stuffs but I also adore them. I seldom buy something that pleases only my eyes because when I buy something, I also make sure that I am buying something functional.

When I laid my eyes on the mismatch flats above, I instantly fell in love with it. Not only because it is cute but also because it reminded me of something very close to my heart- my dog Robin :(

Quick story: Last summer, my best friend Sam gave me a very cute black and white puppy. I was scared of taking good care of it because it was my first time owning a dog as a pet. It is also the first time that a dog lives in our house. Eventually, I had to let go of it because everyone in the house hated Robin :( I was really sad because I do not know what to do then. Luckily, my bff Shiela volunteered to take care of her. I was more than happy then but, there are times that I was left to wonder what would it be if I still have Robin with me. Well, things happen so I have to let her go.

I bought the flats from a local seller in Instagram. I know it isn't ideal to buy something like shoes online but in order to compensate the part of me that miss my dog, I bought the flats. I'm not crazy about it but I am very happy because it is comfortable and I'm still using it for months now.

TRY: PERSIAN FOOD AT PERSIAN PALATE




It is a good thing to know that these days, more and more people are opting for healthier options especially when it comes to their food choice. You may have notice how a number of ready to eat and healthy juicing services are offered all over the internet. I'm not so sure about some of them especially its real benefits but I wouldn't share my opinion about them as I haven't tried any of them.

For me, being healthy doesn't need to be expensive. With proper budgeting, you can always eat the desired food of your choice without compromising your health. I am proud to say that I am a fairly good cook. seriously, there are even times where I can cook better meals than my Mom. haha I can actually cook but sometimes, time doesn't allow.

When I started my previous job at a very early schedule, I couldn't cook anything to bring as my lunch. Luckily, there is Persian Palate located near at my working place. At first I thought they are selling expensive foods, but to my surprise they are selling something that are very affordable. Not to mention that their meals are very healthy. The reason why? they do not use Vetsin ( monosodium glutamate) in any of their foods.

When you visit their place, you will be amaze by the awards and recognitions that are given to the restaurant. A number of news clippings about food and health are also seen all over the place. Moreover, the Persian vibe of the place is really relaxing. Feeling mo nasa Persia ka while you are eating lol I am very pleased by how Persian Palate serve delicious foods that are both affordable and healthy.


P.S I only ate my lunch from them. For my lunch I always order their Chicken Shawarma Rice with or sometimes without egg. It is very satisfying unlike the chicken fillets on the popular fast food chains whose size are almost the same as a match box. :)

Currently, Persian Palate has three branches in Cebu City. They are located in Mango Square Mall, Ayala Center and Robinson's Place. I hope they will open more branches soon. The public needs the food that they offer.

And that's all for the fourth post of my Eat Buy Try  section. Let me know what you think on the comment section below. Should I continue this Saab inspired section? haha lemme know :D
Thank you so much for reading!
