Vegan cookies from Iloilo - Bread Basket

I bought these cookies at Bread Basket in Iloilo. We discovered Bread Basket last year when we got some reall good muffins from their branch across from Seda Hotel where we stayed.

A pack of assorted vegan cookies - 100% plant-based.

A peek inside the pack

The mango-infused cookie is really good. 

I got this pack and a box of pastries from their branch at SM City Iloilo. It's good for pasalubong and our daughter loves their muffins. So I got her some muffins that she got to enjoy for merienda.

Sunset before the lunar eclipse

Last week, I was having an evening class lecture while the lunar eclipse was unfolding. I could only have a glimpse of the eclipse from my office window when we took a short break in the middle of the lecture. Prior to the event though, I was able to take a photo of the sunset before the eclipse. Here are a couple of photos of the sunset as seen from the 4th floor of our office.

You can see the outline of a mountain in Bataan province behind the tall buildings in the photo. We used to have a clear view of Mt. Mariveles and Mt. Natib when there were few buildings in the horizon.

The sun descended quickly after this photo. It is always a sight to behold.

A dose of tuna melt for Friday lunch

Last Friday, I decided to treat myself with a tuna melt sandwich. It was a slow Friday to cap a very busy week. I was also sort of celebrating the accomplishments of our daughter as she concluded their 3rd Quarter exams.

My favorite tuna melt with green salad on the side from Wildflour
 

Wildflour's tuna melt is so far the best sandwich to me. The poached tuna and cheese they used were the perfect fusion. It helped that the multigrain bread was fresh and crunchy. The salad is always good though the dressing is not usually the one I like. Regardless, I prefer my salads without dressing if its this fresh.
