Yexel toy museum

We wanted our 3 yr old son (japheth) to exprerience new things aside from playing on the mall (toms world,mall rides and kiddie houses) so we decided to bring him in Yexel toy museum

Going there was easy, we left our car in SM southmall and walk to jollibee and 7-11. Then we ride on a tricycle and told him that we will go on Yexel toy museum.  The driver already knows where it is. However, on our way back to southmall.. We just found out that there is a way straight from southmall to yexel and no need to walk. There is a tricycle line the back of southmall going straight to Yexel. Anyways, moving on.. 

We arrived at Yexel and paid our entrance. Since japheth is already 3 yr old, he is not exempted on the entrance headcount. We paid 300 each for the entrance. 

Simpsons will greet you at the entrance.

At the next station, we were amazed  on his large collection of toys.

And We also had a chance to meet Yexel.

Yexel entertaining japheth.

Taking a tour in Yexel museum is also like remembering your favorite childhood cartoon character. I still have a lot of pictures to share but my computer are now hanging due to large files. :-) Better see it for yourself. Yexel toy museum is located in Las pinas.

Crimson Hotel Alabang Staycation

We got the deluxe room from agoda. Room price is 3900 + charges =4500. They have promotion at that time so we got the room at 50% discount but i think its cheaper if we get it directly on crimson website. i visited their website and the exact same room would cost 4200 including the charges.

We arrived 12pm. We checked in from the 8th floor lobby. Luckily  they allow early check in.

Lobby.

 I saw this view from kim chiu's movie - Bakit di ka crush ng crush mo :-)

Our room

Room 

I cant help but compare the room size from acacia's deluxe room. Crimson's deluxe room is smaller. 

Bed and pillow are comfortable but i dont like that its hotdog pillow already has stains. But they removed this stained pillows when we return from our walk in festival mall. (Display lng siguro)

CR

no bathtub :(

Pool

We enjoyed the pool. (Dito ata sila bumawi). Towel is provided in the pool area.

      Kiddie pool- 2 ft

      Adult pool - 4 ft

Food. 

  Breakfast buffet is included in the package. 

Japheth and my plate.

Papa's plate- oops blurred

Japheth and mama's dessert. Japheth enjoyed the doughnut. 

Overall, there are few negatives and a lot of improvement in this hotel. However, we still enjoyed our stay. (Thanks to their pool). A nice way to stay for weekend family day.

Ms Polly's chocolate cake

Our manager bought this cake during our meeting. I was surprised on how moist it is. I immediately asked for the box so i can view where to buy it. Our boss told us that he bought it along shell station in magallanes.

I want my hubby to taste it as well, so when we went to makati we pass by shell station in magallanes to buy it. 

At shell station magallanes, they offer different variety of cakes from different bakers/vendors. Some bakers club (i think). But i want to try ms polly's chocolate cake

Chocolate cake -475

This chocolate cake melts in the mouth!

Some compare it to mernels cake in calamba but i think ms polly's chocolate cake taste better. Which should be since price is a bit different :-)

If you ask me if we're going to buy again? 

Of course.. But well also try their other cakes (caramel cake,blueberry cheesecake)

Ms Polly's specialty cake can be found at shell station magallanes

Mama Lou's Italian kitchen

I always see this restaurant when we pass along friendship road in las pinas. 

Today, we're giving it a try. :) At first glance it really looks like a home but inside it is a cozy place. It is very comforting and feels like youre at home. the staff is accomodating and always available if you need anything. 

What we ordered:

Since we have an ordinary tastebud, we ordered what is common among pinoys taste bud

All meat pizza -325

 

the pizza is thin and it is serve with alfalfa sprouts. The pizza is so good and very tasty.

Spaghetti  meatballs-295

 

truly mouthwatering

Blue berry cheesecake -180

cheesecake is so flavorful and creamy. 

We paid a total of 990 pesos. The price is fair.. Not bad for a date. Price not so expensive and not cheap. 

If you ask me if we are going back?

DEFINITELY

Mama lou's is located in BF international Village Las Pinas City but i heard they also have a branch in Solenad2
