I’m sure you’re familiar with Banapple. That sweet pie shop everyone with a sweet tooth sweetly loves.
I first tried this place back in college. Back then there were two Banapples on either side of Katipunan Extension. It was that awesome. Now the two are just along one side, but still just as awesome.
So along with my workmates we trooped down memory lane to visit it again.

Bagnet is delicious.
I really love bagnet. That deep fried pork indulgence made popular by the Ilocanos. My parents are both Ilocanos, so I was introduced to this gastronomic delight when I was still quite young. It is one of the things I look forward to whenever we would take a trip to the North.
So when I first tried out PenPen’s at Cubao X, I immediately wanted to try out their Bagnet Garlic Rice with Asian Vinaigrette. I had high hopes, and I wasn’t disappointed. Well, to be honest anything with bagnet is already great to begin with. hahaha!
I am not a big fan of desserts. But I do enjoy my fair share of sweet treats and pastries every now and then.
I am obsessed with Macarons de Paris (read, not macaroons). The first time I tasted ‘em was back in my old company when one of the bosses brought several boxes for the team. They were delicious. Just the right amount of fluff crunch and chewiness. I can’t accurately describe the texture, but if I would describe it: it would be fluff crunch and chewiness.
