Sweet Temptation: BIZU's Macarons de Paris (05.25.11)

After our dinner at the Kitchen, Tracy and Deah asked for a walk while we continue to share our insights and our latest experiences.We were looking for a place to stay when we passed by Bizu. It was about to close but I was curious with it's nice and inviting aura behind its glass walls.

 Bizu is a Parisian inspired Patisserie offering the finest French pastries and breads here in the Philippines. The name was coined from the French word "Bisous" which means kiss, an act which shows gratitude, excitement,  happiness, love and affection.

Everything at Bizu looks classy and delicious but what caught my attention most are the little macarons at the end in varying colors. The Macaron de Paris are round pastel-colored pastries with crushed almonds and luxurious creme ganache flavors that burst in your mouth. I only bought 5 pieces for me to give it to someone but it ended up being eaten by mom when she went to my place after I fell the following day.

These Macarons de Paris are now available in 11 tempting flavors: Blueberry, Butterscotch, Chocolate Mint, Coffee, Raspberry, Rose, Chocolate, Lemon, Mango, Pistachio, and Vanilla

The Macarons costs:

Per piece   P45 

Box of 8     P355 

Box of 14   P615 

Box of 28   P1,175 

Bizu Patisserie and Bistro is now open @ Greenbelt 2

G/F Greenbelt 2, Parkside, Ayala Center, Makati City

Dinner @ The Kitchen with Tracy and Andrea (05.25.11)

Since Tracy will be leaving the Metro that coming weekend, Deah who just came to Manila from all her commitments in Batangas planned a small dinner-out for the three of us.First, the plan was at Trinoma then I requested for us to meet at Greenbelt, then they agreed. We met at GB3 and since the two of them waited for me, they were really hungry that time. We directly headed The Kitchen besides Seattle's Best.

It's not my first time to go to Kitchen, but every time I go there, the place is always filled especially with young professionals. The venue is very warm and accommodating to it's customers. They have very good services because the waiters are fast and efficient.

While waiting for our orders, we decided to take our pictures since it will be long before our next meet-up.

I suddenly missed our fun times when we are in college.

Our fruit shakes were the one served first. I just love the way my four season fruit shake is. I enjoyed the smooth crushed ice melting inside my mouth.

I ordered WHITE BAY PASTA, it's a creamy pasta with mushrooms and is served with a toasted bread. It's no wonder that this one is among the Kitchen's must try in their menu.

Andrea's choice is another worth trying dish. She had SALMON SAYS.It's salmon head cooked in misu garnished with fresh vegetables. I love the way the salmon tastes. It's full of flavor, so juicy and has a very unique taste.

Tracy had this sinigang-type of dish with a big fish part. I love the hotness of its "sabaw". 

We also had a free dessert called GOING BANANAS. It's a banana-filled pie on a crushed graham crust with butterscotch

ALIW is the word that I will always use for the house water of Kitchen:)

It looks cool but the taste made me think that I am drinking green tea.

I will surely miss my superfriends

Tracy will go back to Roxas 

Andrea will soon be busy with her 2nd year at UST Med

as for me, I am always busy... but I do find ways to revive my social life:))
