COMS: Tous Le Jours Chocolate Cake

-

As my name suggests, I somehow have a love affair with bakeries, particularly those that are new. Lately I've found myself sniffing to different branches (In a span of 1 month, I've already been to ATC, Southmall and MoA branches. ) of Tous Le Jours hoping to find a favorite.



For breads they have stirred away from Breadtalk type of Breads (I swear a non Breadtalk bakery is in EDSA Shang that bakes the exact type of breads from Breadtalk) and have more savory type of breads. My most favorite being the one with curry inside and the vegetable croquette Reagan has recommended. Macaroons are also offered and it was just plain for my taste. I need more samples from other shops to compare.

Last year too, I was also able to get the perfect alibi to buy a cake which for my sister. It was surprising that dedications are allowed (as you can see from the cake, it's written on a cookie like design). I also liked how we are provided with candles and a knife (Secret Recipe have this as well) and the cute take out box. I was able to transport it from Southmall to Cavite unscathed.


As for the cake, it is not for the die hard chocolate fan. It is more of a large chiffon bread with chocolate flavor and the most minimal icing. It give the illusion that the calories are not that much. I'm a bit disappointed but seeing how the family enjoyed, my bet is that my hips probably do too. I remember Breadtalk doing the same technique on their cakes and it haven't disappointed the guys  in the office. Note: I'm the youngest teehee

Apart from the beautiful and simplistic designs, if all the cakes they offer are like this, the type of cake I mean, I can see how some would probably enjoy it and how some would prefer the creamy diabetic type of cakes. Will I come back? Yes, why not?

    I love Tous Les Jours cakes and breads! Too bad service at their SM Megamall branch sucks.

T&J Weds: Getting a License at the Mandaluyong City Hall during the Pandemic (2021)

-
Image
As of writing, our application for a license is now on the way. We were able to do everything in one day with not much hassle but it took some hours to finish since we started the process. It's a bit different than before but man, I love that we didn't have to take a leave on another day (other than getting the license obviously).  Requirements 1. CENOMAR -PSA copy, 210 PHP at SM Business Center; will take almost 2 weeks 2. Birth Certificate - PS copy, 155 PHP at SM Business Center; will take a week 3. Government IDs with Mandaluyong address. Old bills, minimum 6 months prior can be submitted as well in lieu. I prepared 3 bills for this, Meralco, Globe and Assoc Dues and the processor only got the Meralco one (photocopy). I don't have IDs with Mandaluyong address but bothered to photocopy my other government IDs bearing our Cavite address and my condo's IDs but those weren't accepted.  4. Application Form - submitted and filled out in triplicate. 5. CEDULA - Can be...

TME: Getting your NBI Clearance Easy

-
Image
UPDATE (10/25/2013) As I've visited their site , GCASH won't be a form of payment for them from now on. You may now choose to leave this link as it is now obsolete as of this writing. I may try to write the different mode of payment in the near future. UPDATE(13/01/2014) Here's the new, updated and lazier version  < this is clickable just so you know. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ I will not explain the full details, but me and my office mates regularly need an NBI Clearance. It's one of my most hated moments because it is so time consuming. Yes the process is as fast as they can make it, but you only need to see the extremely long queue to give up getting one during lunch break. So, when one of our office mates found a fast track option a whole lot of us instantly grabbed the chance. There are about 3 steps in getting an NBI clearance (payment, encoding, picture taking) and all involves different sets of queues and wh...

SNAP: BPI Express Credit Card: Ridiculously fast.

-
Image
I did say before how I try my best to stay credit card free except for my trusty eprepaid card . What ended that promise and what bothers me now is how I got one in the first place. This is seriously weird, and fast at the same time... and I haven't even applied to them!! Tuesday. Received a call from BPI That I am eligible for a card. The only thing they ever asked was where I was working. After that I was told that they'd be sending my card anytime soon. Friday. Text from BPI saying my card was approved. What? Saturday. Noon. I received my card (LBC) with a credit limit far from the 10k limit I was prepared for. If I want something more than that I will pay in cash but never in credit.  Why do they have to give me this tempting limit at all?! Why?! So what just happened anyway? Monday-Tuesday I was in contact with a Citibank person after a referral of an officemate. Thursday they called the house and so far not anything from them yet. The mysterious t...
