Pancake place? Try SLAPPY CAKES!

American

*LATE POST*

08.24.2013

Me and my YFC girlfriends planned a dinner date this night, but unfortunately, only 3 of us came (out of 5). That’s kinda sad because we’re not complete. Again. *sigh* Heehee.

So here’s my hashtag ootd (or should I say ootn hahaha) which I also posted in my Instagram account. :)

Black elastic waist dress, topped with pomelo-colored cardigan,

and paired with pomelo-colored shoes.

Ate Raiza fetched us up with her car at around 8 in the evening. When we reached Eastwood, we still can’t figure out where are we going to eat so we decided to stroll over the place. And finally, we are hooked by this not too big stall located at the G/F of Eastwood Mall.

Tadaaaaaa! I’m talking about Slappy Cakes! I wasn’t able to take the actual picture outside. Sad. :( Heehee.

We entered the door and got a seat. While we were waiting for the menu, I rolled over my eyes to check the place. It was bright enough to create a “happy mood” somehow, plus it uses wood furniture. The table at the center contains a pancake griddle which lets you cook your own pancake, of course. (You will see later on this blog how does the pancake griddle looks like) Overall, I can say that the ambience is great and the interior is simple but cozy. And again, I’m sorry because I wasn’t able to take a picture inside this time.

Well, obviously, I took a picture of Slappy Cakes’ menu. Heehee. I was surprised when I saw that they are not only offering pancakes, but they also have rice meals (classic Filipino breakfast), some salad-like meals, and desserts.

Too many savory and fixins to choose from.

Aaaaahhhhh! :)))

They also have a couple of recommended combinations
in the menu which first timers could try out.

And there’s this one drink that caught my attention… HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

The staff in Slappy Cakes would ask you if it’s your first time or not. If it is, then they will teach you how to make your own pancakes using the pancake griddle.

Here's how to make your DIY pancakes! :)

STEP 1: CHOOSE YOUR BATTER

Slappy Cakes has 5 different flavors to choose from .Each flavor comes in an 8 oz. squeeze bottle per serving: Buttermilk (225 PHP), Whole Grain (225 PHP), Peanut Butter (260 PHP), Vegan (260 PHP), and Chocolate (260 PHP).

We picked the Buttermilk for our first taste.

STEP 2: ADD FIXINS / TOPPINGS / SAVORY

We just tried the fixins. No toppings, no savory. :)

We tried mangoes, nutella, and banana. *drools*

STEP 3: CUSTOMIZE YOUR OWN PANCAKES!

Put the batter into the hot griddle. It's up to you
how big you want your pancake will be.

Add the fixins you have picked. Here in my first pancake, I put some mangoes, bananas, and nutella. :))

Cover it up with another layer of batter.

Flip the pancake to cook the other side.

And.... tadaaaaaa! Here it is! :">

Done simply and easily. Heehee

Here are some of our pictures while making our own pancakes. :">

Ate Raiza putting her second layer of the batter.

Ate Normae flipping her pancakes.

Oh, it's me putting my favorite Nutella. ♥

And here's our pancaaaakes! *yummy*

Pancake topped with Nutella and banana.

And of course, here are my pictures (selfie lol) and our group photos. ♥

To conclude our stay in Slappy Cakes, I can say that I really enjoyed our food that night! :) What makes the store unique is that you can make your own pancakes and you are free to do anything you want with it. I believe that this factor gives every customer a new level of fun and interactive dining experience. Actually, there is nothing really exceptional about their pancakes, it's just that your whole stay in Slappy Cakes is truly one-of-a-kind.

Spell your name out. Make smiley faces. Play around with wacky shapes. Go crazy and have fun making your own pancakes!

HOW TO FINISH WHAT YOU'VE STARTED

encouragement

Bonjour!!! :)

I've been hiatus for already a month... but only here in Blogger. Meeeh. If you would check my other social media sites (FOLLOW ME: Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram), I'm still active there. Most specially in Twitter, of course! :)) Ha! It's because those sites are more accessible for me when I'm using the iPad and my Blackberry phone. I find it a little harder to keep in touch with my blog site because my laptop is still at my friend's for almost three months already. :( And I feel more comfortable using my laptop when I'm writing my thoughts. That's why I can't update my blog every now and then. :(

So, yeah. Enough of that. Haha! Because this blog is not about all of my excuses and reasons for not posting here for so long… :))

Have you ever noticed that many of us are good at starting things? But if you will carefully look into it and see how far you’ve come, you’ll just be disappointed sometimes because you will realize that you haven’t finished it yet? It’s because it’s the finishing that we need help with. :)

ENCOURAGEMENT. INCENTIVE. MOTIVATION.

Finishing something is all about these three words. If you assess yourself and you realized that you’re having a difficult time finishing things, maybe one of the best things that you can do is to think of the reason why you started that certain thing in the first place, and why you want to finish it.

You may also want to consider if that task is something that you really love to do…

IF YES, then ask yourself why would you love to do it? What can you get after doing it? Is there some benefit that you can gain from doing it? If you can answer those questions, then you are starting to visualize everything. It’s a good sign because that visualization might help you to keep going.

IF NOT, then maybe you should look upon the consequences of setting it aside, or omitting it. If you’ll do the latter, perhaps after a day or two, you’ll be surprised that it will bring you comfort when you’ve finally decided to omit some task that you didn’t really want to do in the first place!

If you think that encouragement/incentive/motivation is lacking and you need more of it, challenge yourself by pressuring yourself positively. I repeat, positively. A little of it can be a good thing because it helps to bring you some kind of tension (e.g. setting a deadline, posting via social media about what you have done, etc.).

You may also want to divide your task into a piecemeal. It will help you get started on little things with little steps. And if you keep doing it repeatedly, you’ll never notice how far you’ve come. Until poof! You’re done! ;)

(Example) If you can’t read a whole book or a whole story in one sitting, just try reading a paragraph or two. If you feel that after reading a little you now can’t absorb anything, rest for a while. Then read another sets of paragraphs. Keep doing this until you’ve finally reached the end of the book. Then you’re done! You can now go out and tell the whole world that you just finished reading a book. You’ll realize that it’s AWESOME. :)

HIHIHIHIHIHI. I've blogged about this because I think that it's really appropriate and at the same time, helpful for me. I've been bombarded with tons of work this month (although I'm still studying). Hahaha! And yes, I've already started some of my to-do's and I'm still in the process of doing it. And I'm still praying for it to be finished ON TIME! I hope that you too could finish whatever task you have! Just keep praying! ;)

Inhale love, exhale hate!
