Mom's Birthday Cake by Buttery and Co. + Quarantine Food Suppliers


My mom celebrated her birthday along with the lifting of ECQ last June 1. With the now imposed GCQ, restaurants are still not allowed to operate for dine-in. We opted for food deliveries/pick-ups for this important occasion.

Happy Birthday, mom!


Mother, you have been a blessing and a great mom (and grandma to B) to all of us. We wish you only the best on your birthday. We wish you good health and wealth. May you have a long and happy life.
We love you!

Buttery and Co. | Ube Caramel Cake


8-inch round Ube Caramel Cake from Buttery and Co. PhP 1,300
Out of all the cakes I tried this quarantine period, this 8-inch round Ube Caramel from Buttery and Co. is the best. The cake may seem small but it's packed with so much ube flavor inside. The taste reminded me of Good Shepherd's Ube jam. I didn't taste the caramel flavor but it didn't matter because I like it just the way it is. This cake is super moist, pillowy and really, really good. I have to stop and control myself from getting another slice. 

Also available:
  • 8-inch Round Caramel Cake PhP 1200
  • 9x12" Rectangle Caramel Cake PhP 1700
  • 9x12" Rectangle Caramel Cake PhP 1900
Gourmet Hub | Sushi Bake


I ordered Sushi Bake from my co-parent, Jacky Cheng. She owns Gourmet Hub, a new business venture that she started this quarantine. Believe me when I say that it is really good. Aside from the usual, her version has marinated salmon with lots of masago on top. She did not scrimp on ingredients and even gave me an extra pack of nori ; p
