Look What I Bought: Tous Les Jours Sweet Haul

Hey. Again. Just a quick story here that lead to my eventual "haul" in this cute bakery. ^^

So, a few weeks ago, when we visited the Tous Les Jours branch in Fairview, they were having this promo that when you buy a thousand worth of their goodies, you get to bring home a bottle of non-alcoholic apple champagne. At first, I thought it was only because they had just opened, but when we went to their branch at SM North Edsa earlier today, it seems that they also have that promo.

Because my mom has already decided on her cake, we decided to ask if they sold the champagne on its own, but unfortunately, it's not for sale, it's a free item. We wanted to have a bottle for her birthday. So, we tried to make up for the difference and ended up buying two cakes and a can of Chilsung. ^^

The free bottle of apple champagne for every 1000 purchase. ^^

I can't say much about the bottle of champagne since we haven't tasted it, but it looks awesome and perfect for a birthday celebration. *haha* I didn't see an end date for the promo, so you might want to check them out while they still have bottles of their apple champagne. ^^

Cheerio!

Food Talk: Tous Les Jours' Strawberry Inspiration Cake

Hi guys! Just a couple of quick food posts from here on out. We had a pre-celebration of my mom's birthday, so... I just wanted to share with you the things that we tried. It was also our first time to try these things, and I wanted to tell you what we thought about 'em. ^^

So, first up is one of the inspiration cakes of Tous Les Jours. After going through all the designs of these strawberry cakes, my mom finally decided on the, well, strawberry designed one. There's one in the shape of a heart, an apple, a rose, and this.

The Verdict:

All I can say is that this cake is aweeesommeee! Although I like really sweet cakes, I find this great as well. It's made of yogurt and fresh strawberries on strawberry cake. It's very refreshing and has a good blend of sweet and sour flavor. The yogurt gave the cake its much needed tangy taste. It's also dusted with strawberry powder. But be wary of the green tea powder. Tasted on its own, it's very bitter, but tastes fine with the cake itself. Btw, the Tous Les Jours ribbon and sign are edible coz they're made of chocolate.

Compared to local premium round cakes, this cake is quite pricey at 598 pesos, given its size. But because of its fresh and natural strawberry flavor, it's definitely worth it.

When you decide to buy this though, make sure to refrigerate it within 2 hours because the yogurt can melt easily. "Life span" of the cake is 7 days. ^^

Have you tried this cake? Lemme know. Cheerio!

Food Talk: Tous Les Jours

Hey guys. Just a quick post here.  ^^

The newest branch of the Korean-French bakery, Tous les Jours, opened recently at SM Fairview, and although it's not the most accessible branch to us, my family and I decided to check it out. Tous les Jours has been a favorite since it opened in SM North Edsa.

We took home a pack of french macarons/macaroons for my sister (140.00/5pcs), a walnut cream cheese bread for my parents (128.00), and the baby choux (58.00/ 5pcs) "a taste of heaven" to compensate for my longing for Sulli's endorsed product, the Etude House Baby Choux base that until now is still out of stock. No, seriously, that's why I chose the baby choux bread, and not my favorite milk bun or something like that. 

Everything, as usual, was great. The walnut cream cheese bread was savory, the baby choux is a shoo-in for your typical cream puff because it's so light and soft, and the macarons/macaroons are just divine. 

To be honest, the branch in SM Fairview is just a little prettier than the one in SM North. They have more space for those who'd like to actually eat there and have a snack. It has more pizzazz. But, just like always, their breads are perfect. ^^

Any favorites from this awesome bakery? Shoot me a message! Cheerio!
