An afternoon at St. Marc Cafe

There's a newly opened dessert place at SM Megamall's Fashion Hall. It's called St. Marc Cafe and it reminded me of this small snack place we went to in Hongdae in South Korea called Spero Spera. The cafe offered coffee and crepes of various types.



St. Marc Cafe on the other hand offers coffee, dessert beverages and various types of desserts, from shaved ice, ice creams, breads, and their signature Chococro.

We ordered three desserts and I must say their sizes are to share. Unless you are really hungry, you can finish one by yourself. I got one of the best sellers, the Choco Banana Fuji. It's a croissant topped with vanilla ice cream, bananas, drizzled with choco syrup.

My niece and my son's yaya got tempted by the pretty displays and ordered Strawberry Heaven and Mango Fantasy. Strawberry Heaven had cheese cake while MangoFantasy had pudding. 


We were all satisfied with our orders. We'd definitely go back and try the coffee drinks and breads.

My version of Adventure Time Bacon Pancakes

I finally got around to making bacon pancakes. When Gaby, my niece, realized what I was doing she said that Finn and Jake of Adventure Time cooked pancakes the same way. So that was what Adventure Time Pancakes are all about.




These pancakes are real easy to do. Just fry the bacon in a non-stick pan. Some like it crispy. But I'm ok with it a bit juicy. Then I just prepared Maya's pancake mix in my Hello Kitty measuring cup. It's easier to pour the pancake batter this way.



Next, I placed two bacon slices on the non-stick frying pan. Then I just poured the pancake batter on top of the bacon. When you feel one side is done, flip the bacon carefully. Remove from pan after a couple of seconds or if you feel that side is cooked.


Voila. It's a little sloppy looking. But it's okay for a first timer don't you think? Tidus approves.
