Our First Valentines Made Sweeter with Sunrise and Sugarhouse Chocolate Truffle Cake


Lettuce Says,

Eventhough Valentines is over, it is still the Love month so please bear with us for posting mushy, cheesy sweet stuff here. Hehe

As always we celebrated in advance, our favorite buffet for lunch the weekend before Vday. An Alba Spanish Buffet A Day before Chinese New Year 

And we celebrated the weekend after, with a breakfast at the Salcedo Saturday  Community Market, a post-Valentines city staycation at Picasso Boutique Serviced Residences (courtesy of The Peeps at work), and an intimate dinner at Rue Bourbon.

Watch out for these as we will give you a blow by blow account here in My Empty Plates and in TravelnStories in the coming days.

Given that Valentines day fell on a weekday, my day was like a typical fully loaded meal. The delivery of flowers in the building, greetings from colleagues, and the building traffic gave away that it is indeed Happy Hearts Day. I got off from work on the dot (means super early for us) for fear of having a tight Valentines dinner inside a UV Express.

For dinner, I redeemed and take home a Chicken Joy Bucket Meal from a BPI receipt (memoirs of ze wedding expenzes). Gotta love freebies! I also scored a limited edition Makati Starbucks Mug.




Then I picked up a Sugarhouse Chocolate Truffle Cake. Which is..heart-shaped!

Sunrise greeted me home with colorful bouquets of flowers (a digital and a real one!), which I LOOVVEE! 


Digital and Fresh Flowers





Lettuce Tip: Guys, always give your girls some flowers, with or without occasion  even if they said they don't like it. It's a fem thing for us to love flowers may it be from Holland or from the wild grounds of your neighbor. 

We shared this simple meal with the Abelgases and my mom. See, she wore red!

What do you call the mom of Lettuce?... Letty of course!

Sunrise then unboxed the sweetest cake of cakes, a 9" Sugarhouse's Chocolate Truffle Cake (PhP 795 originally). I bought this using a voucher purchased online via my favorite and most reliable Deal Grocer. Great savings for the 9th placer, SPOT.ph's Top 10 Chocolate Cakes!

Layers after layers of moist chocolate chiffon, covered by the sweetest and creamiest chocolate buttercream coating. Sweet! For sugar-concious people, I think they have sugarfree version of this.


Just Look At That...
And as the cliche says, celebrate Valentines or Christmas everyday with the person you love. Nuff said, I'm getting choco cravings!


First Valentines As Hubby and Wifey!
