Cruisin' Mommyhood Recommends Pastry Armoire

On our way home last Sunday, we dropped by Pasrty Armoire to buy Deep Dips Spicy Tinapa and Gourmet Tuyo for Don, Sticky Buns (Nutella and Reggiano) and bread sticks for Julia.

I was so happy when Mish of Momma 'N Manila invited me to Pastry Armoire's Eats a Spa Party. She had me at "it's located in BF Homes".  It is so convenient for me to drop by Pastry Armoire after work because it is on my way home AND it is open until 9pm.  I can buy something for Julia's baon and Gourmet Dips for Don.  I learned from their FB page that I can order Kesong Puti.  I love Kesong Puti! I order it every time we eat at Mary Grace, as in every time.  I am excited to know that now I can prepare it at home.  Check out Mish's post.

This Marinated Kesong Puti may have been my dinner tonight. With some wine. Thank you @chef_arnold_bernardo for this...

Back to the Spa Party, the first thing I noticed was the buffet table.  Everything looked so appetizing and sweet!

 There are my personal favorites:

Sticky Buns

You have to try the Nutella Chocolate Sticky Buns.  I know there are a lot of pastries that use Nutella but this you have to try!

Julia loves the cheese sticks.  She kept coming back to to the table for more, so napagod ata kasi dinala na niya yung buong lalagyan!  

Right beside the cheese sticks is the Chocolate mousse with blue berries and pistachios.

These cakes are so yummy.
My personal favorite is that chocolate cake with avocado cream.

Chef Arnold Bernardo's Deeps Dips are love!

Gourmet Tuyo Antipasto

Spicy Tinapa Pandesal with Kesong Puti

The next thing I noticed was this polish wall.  Wow!  I learned that Mel, one of the owners of Pick and Polish, already have 300 bottles before they established their business.  I was totally overwhelmed.  It is not easy to make a choice when you have so many nice colors to choose from.

I will definitely come back to Pick & Polish.  The place is clean and maaliwalas.  There are so many nail polish colors to choose from and the prices are so affordable!  They also have threading, waxing and massage services.  Tapos everyone is so nice.  One-stop shop for my pampering needs.

I asked her to sit beside me but she chose to have her nails done with her new friends - Miley and Anika.  She was so happy that day.  New friends plus nail polish definitely made her afternoon fun.

Hello newfound friends! Of course these cute little ladies also had their nails done 💅 @pickandpolish #pickedandpolished #pickandpolish #manicure #spaparty #pastryarmoireSPArty

It was a great afternoon.  It was nice to see Mish and Fleur again.  I met new people, I found my new me-time place AND Julia has so much fun.  Yes, it was an afternoon well spent.

Congratulations to @chefannachua and the rest of @pastryarmoire for a successful grand opening. Thank you for choosing @pickandpolish as the venue for your event. #PickedAndPolished #PastryArmoire #pastryarmoireSPArty
