Pan De Amerikana

Pandesal

 

Without my Creation in Baking BUT I created moments and loved with my daughter. In celebration of  her fast recovery from tonsillitis (Thank GOD), after visiting her pediatrician we go to PAN DE AMERIKANA, nearby her doctor's clinic.

Pan De Amerikana is located at Gen. Ordoñez St., Marikina City. It is a Bakeshop, later on, it become a restaurant. The ambiance is good, the restaurant is GIANT CHESSBOARD Theme, the menu was all Marikina dishes, but we Ordered Pandesal Sandwhich with Tuna Filling (sorry i don't have a pic, i forgot to take a pic 'coz i am really hungry) just got a pic with their site. Experienced in Bakeshop without my creation.

Ellyza's Cupcake

As usual, when I'm doing something at the kitchen she's always there to make her own and I let her go. Ellyza's cupcake, she's the one who  put  icing on the cupcake and sprinkle but I am the one who add swirl icing, the color pink and blue one because it has an excess icing on my pastry bag instead of just put in the trash I'll put in Ellyza's cupcake.  So sad for now because Ellyza is sick had a cold and flu due to her tonsillitis, we had visit twice with different pediatrician, hoping when we come back on Saturday she's already okay.
