Love Biscoff?

Noel here-and yes, me too!

So when I saw Krispy Kreme had Biscoff-flavored donuts, I had to taste them. 😍

Lakas maka-crave ba? Lol. XD

Bought them, took pics, and yes, they’re delish!

Don’t know up to when is going to offer this flavor, so make sure to get yours while you can.

Okay that’s all, hope nagutom kayo. 😁

You HAVE to visit this cafe!

We’re talking about Cafe 10/23! 😍

Not only is it super , the food is also super good. We ordered the ube danish, chocolate cake, Imus longganisa and chicken pesto pasta, and we couldn’t get over the taste.

To think that they’re still just on soft opening; imagine when they’re already rolling out the full menu.

Rae was also pretty happy because she got to experience the einspanner ube tres leches drink. She’s been seeing it in different Korean vlogs, and it’s pretty elusive to find… until 10/23!

Back to it being aesthetic: we visited on a pretty good day, and if we had all the time in the world, we would have just stayed there longer. It’s so beautiful, both indoor and out.

Ah well, it just means we’ll be back to try more of their selections and enjoy the place.

Drop by! It’s just in Imus, Cavite. We can honestly say it’s worth the trip!

This is a must-visit in Los Banos!

Noel here! We’ve been seeing for a while now passing by in our feeds…

And me especially as a bread lover, I’ve been drooling over their delicious breads…

And we never really got the chance to try it…

Until recently! Which made me happy of course. XD

We were pleasantly surprised by the SIZE of their croissants-bigger than the average one for sure.

Rae ordered the Toblerone while I ordered the Rosas. Both were packed with delicious flavors while still retaining the croissant texture you’re looking for. And the cream inside-super yum!

Eating one actually felt like eating an entire meal-it’s worth the bang for the buck. Or something. XD

The coffee and matcha were also pretty good.

As you can see in the pics, they have other offerings, but we did not have stomach capacity to try them. 😂

But we’ll definitely be back to try the other flavors… eventually. XD

The downside of their current store is that if you plan to stay long, seating is limited, but that’s about it. What’s great about the location is that it’s near UP Los Banos, so you can walk off the calories inside. XD

Verdict: we’ll be back! Oh, and definitely worth destroying your diet for one day. XD

Hey guys! We know it's been a while. We've been busy. 😅😂😀 But is still around, still posting about delicious foods and shooting yummy meals. 😍

With that said, hello from Osaka, Japan! We're currently in the line to check in with an airline (let's call it PebuCac), and we got hungry, and we suddenly had the craving for something Pinoy.

Something like... Ensaymada.

Ensaymada in Japan? Possible? 😲

Yes it is: thanks to , we got our premium and VERY DELICIOUS ensaymada fix. It's not even heated yet so we'll probably do a part 2 when we get home. 😁

But a quick review: it's FLUFFEH, super cheesy, and each bite will make you want more!

So if you're in Japan and want your Filipino pastry fix or you want to introduce your friends to a taste of Filipino baking, just contact ! She does other pastries too-check out her page and look for Ms. Maria!

In the meantime, wish us luck. See you soon, Philippines!

Handaan is open!

We were invited to the opening of in Naic, Cavite! Special shoutout to .

They started off the festivities with a gigantic crunchy pancit canton. YUM.

But the delicious food didn’t stop there, with us getting to experience their special okoy, bulalo, kilawin, inhaw na liempo, crunchy kangkong, and halo-halo! We actually got to eat their turon with ice cream as well, but we inhaled it pretty much so we forgot to take pictures. XD

We just love this place since it’s like a breath of fresh air in the area in terms of food and how pretty it is. You can see even Eos enjoyed taking pictures! 😁

So if you’re in the area, make sure to check Handaan at The Stadium Shopping Strip. The food and the ambiance makes the visit totally worth it! 😍

Our personal fave, Cookie Dough, is back! Along with 2 more awesome flavors, Ferrero and Mint Chocolate!

Thank you .ph!

Halloween may be over, but your favorite Nutella Crunch by is back and perfect even if Halloween is over! 😍

Hi guys! Salazar here, I am the photographer for Slice of Life MNL! 😉

Check out our shoot for Health Kitchen Manila! 😍

This one is pretty special for us because we had the opportunity to use the Canon R5 and the Canon 24-105 RF lens. Thank you, Canon Philippines!

We loved how the lens focused so fast, and how we could just touch the LCD to select wherever we wanted to focus. The flip LCD was also pretty useful - we just flipped it out and peered through it so we could get the shot at whatever angle we were shooting from.

Oh and as is our trademark, all the photos you’re seeing here are fresh from the camera. What that means is that the R5 has some pretty amazing colors!

There was no need for us to correct anything. 😉

And the detail… oh man, Instagram does not do the photos justice. The R5’s 45 Megapixels were almost too superb when it comes to details. Everything looked so crisp - just perfect for food photography!

We only had 2 major (minor?) problems with the R5 and the lens.

1. The weight of the camera body and the lens combined could get uncomfortably heavy over time. Thankfully, we weren’t shooting an event, so we could put down the camera, but still… it’s HEAVY.

2. Since we only had one battery for the unit, we found that it wasn’t enough to last for long shoot periods. But if we had an extra battery, this probably wouldn't be a factor, since all photographers should have spare ones any way.

The only thing we were wishing for after was if only billboards were still as in demand as digital products. LOL.

So thank you again ! And do check out the awesome health food selections that offers! Make your healthy food crave-worthy! 💜

We say YES! 😍😍

Tempura Tuesdays sounds like a perfect idea. G?!

Thank you for creating this awesome beauties, Cheese Rolls by Miss J! And so happy that you are in the south so we can always order from you. 💜

Guys, order yours now so you know what we are talking about and you won’t miss out on this deliciousness! 💜

What happens behind the scenes? 🤔

We hardly ever show us because we are usually excited to show the finished product BUT if you are curious to see who are photographer is, he is 1/2 of our team (the other is me, Rae, the Art Director/Stylist) and the other equally important person is Noel.

He is important because he is the photographer. 😆

Without his solid work and background of professionally photographing your visuals, there would have been no .

Here are a few and rare behind-the-scene snaps. Though Noel used daylight for this shoot, he prefers to use professional studio lighting equipment to give life to your visuals!

ATTENTION: You NEED to try this! 😍

We have always been excited to feature local Pinoy specialties, like ’s tasty Suman Latik and Currucud (Suman Gata) and in chocolate-filled version too! 😍

To be honest, this was such a treat for us since we haven’t tasted Pinoy delicacies lately and we have started to miss them again.

Kakanins are usually dishes we order during special occasions (in our case, we get these during New Year 💜) but after tasting (and enjoying) Manding’s Suman Latik, we realized that we should have it more often! 😆

When you order this, you get a GENEROUS serving of each kind! We also LOVE how beautifully packaged it was, so when it was delivered, the experience felt even more special. (Yes, we are that kind of people who loves a beautiful presentation. It makes for an awesome experience!)

We feel this is an experience that YOU TOO should have! And it’s easier to have it because is available via Grabfood and Joyride super app! DM / Viber today! 😊

Thank you again for this experience, Manding Suman Latik! 😍

We have always enjoyed food from Mary Grace Cafe especially their hot chocolates and ensaymadas. So when they announced that there was shortage of ingredients to make their delish ensaymadas, of course we got sad. 🥲

But we're glad that they have mamon on their menu! ❤️

We mean, what Pinoy doesn't LOVE mamon? They're local favorites!

And of course, Mary Grace took these to the next level: super fluffy, super airy, with such a delicious taste that sets it apart from all other mamons.

They're definitely a must-try, especially if you're looking for that rememberance of home, which Mary Grace always provides. 😍

Get some fluffy goodness - order yours now!

Shot with a Canon R5 and RF 24-105 lens. Thanks to Canon Philippines!

Seafood Kare-Kare! 😍

This meal deserves more praise than it gets AND deserves photos to immortalize it.

This hearty dish was said to have originated from Pampanga (and if you are Pinoy, you know that SOOOO many awesome dishes are cooked deliciously in this city 😍) and for those who haven’t tried or are not familiar with this dish, it is a stew with thick peanut sauce, usually cooked with oxtripe and blanched vegetables with shrimp paste!

Kare-kare is a HIT in celebrations (aside from our favorite lumpia hehe!) for a good reason! 😍

This is why it’s seafood version if worth the praise as well! 💜

What is your favorite Filipino dish? 😊

Can we be honest?

This Ube Cream Cheese Naked Cake by has actually become our favorite ube cake! 😊

In fact, this is the cake we recommend for your special occasions especially for birthdays! 💜

What we love is how the ube (purple yam or water yam to non-Filipinos) just shines in this cake AND amplified by the cream cheese. 😍 The combination of which is just something that really makes you keep raving and craving for every spoonful! 💜

It is a MUST for ube-lovers and if you want to shine as a gift-giver, this is the cake to gift! 😍

Don’t just take our word for it. It’s better to order the big size just to be sure! 😊
