The Farmacy Experience



Entering Farmacy I felt a bit nostalgic, though I haven't really been to an old school Soda Pop Shop, but still, it felt like meeting up with the good ol' gang of Archie. It felt like going to Pop's Chock'lit Shoppe. Growing up reading Archie Comics, I'm pretty sure you know what I mean ;)

The Gang at Pop's

That was my idea of an Ice Cream and Soda Fountain Shop. Little did I know that back in the days a typical American drug store had a Soda Fountain. Sweet!

Good thing I don't need any prescription to get my fix! :)


3 Scoops of Ice Cream Pleaseeeeeeeeeeee!!! ^_^

Homemade ice cream <3



Oh My Wow.. if you could just smell the place... its sooooooooo sweet <3

Take your pick!

Wide array of beers... for their After Dark Concoctions
Black & Tan
Guinness Float with Chocolate and Vanilla Ice Cream
Php 420

First few sips were not really that good, I could taste the very strong bitter taste of Guinness, you have to let the Ice Cream melt and mix well with the Guinness dry stout to have a  better tasting concoction. I liked it! <3 A Must Try!!!

Pick Me Up
Hazelnut, Vanilla, Coffee Ice Cream, Almond Toffe, Chocolate sauce & A Shot of Espresso
Php 280

This Concoction is LOVE. Vanilla Ice Cream was so good and so is the Hazelnut. <3

I still wanted to order some more but after a heavy dinner at Todd English Food Hall I dint have any more space. :) Seriously soooo goood. Worth all the calories <3

Le Bill
A bit pricey but totally worth it... and the calories too! :)


Oh Farmacy.. I just can't cant get enough of you.





P.S. I'm totally going back, I NEED TO TRY THEIR CANDIED BACON ICE CREAM.CANDIED. BACON. YES. PLEASE. *DROOLS*

The Todd English Food Hall Experience

Finally got to try Todd English Food Hall at SM Aura with my girlfriends for a post Christmas - New Year's Dinner. Time to indulge on good food and great company. It was a very pleasant gastronomical experience.

Todd English Food Hall is not a buffet style restaurant nor your regular food court fare. At first when I heard about the restaurant, I thought they were serving buffet style food.. but nope they don't. The restaurant houses 9 specialty food stations and you can order from each of the station and they make it fresh on the spot. Sounds good right? The Todd English Food Hall is a European-inspired specialty food hall — offers the finest fresh, prepared, and gourmet food.

'Came to the place without any reservation because we called in late and they were not taking any reservations that time, We were on the waiting list and I didn't mind sitting at the bar anymore because the resto' was jam packed on a Wednesday night. We finally got seated at the Salad & Charcutterie Station. We would've loved a dining table but that means waiting longer and man was I hungry already.

We finally placed our orders and we were anticipating delays because the
1) The resto' was full and really busy that time
2) Food were freshly made and on the spot.. so usually I expect 10-15 minutes delay.

But to our surprise food came in less than 15 mins. It was not in its proper sequence, like, Salad first then the Appetizer then...etc.. We got the Salad First which was just right then the Steak.. errmmm .. i will not complain though.. I'm really hungry ^_^ and the food was really good so I forgive you :)
