Christmas Squares Cookies by Kumori Japanese Bakery Philippines

One of the many food that I associate with Christmas season is cookies. Is that weird? Not really, right? Come the first of Christmas month, piles of cookies would slowly gather in my pantry. None of which are baked by me because while I am confident that I can cook a feast that could feed a Village, baking is not really one of my strongest suits since I hate following instruction to a T. So really, I am not complaining.

Some of these are given by baker friends who banks on the idea that I could honestly give criticism without battling an eyelash which they appreciate, some are gifts, while some are lined up for a blog or magazine feature. This year, I got this Christmas Squares Cookies by Kumori Philippines.

It was actually a gift from the kindly people at Relish Group tucked in a cute Christmas-themed paper bag alongside an equally cute personalized key chain. Relish Group as you may have known is the people behind Osaka Osho, Wee Nam Kee, Kumori, and other food businesses in Manila. But this gift, I find good and fit for a blog feature, so here we are.

Holiday Ham Premium Boneless Hind Leg and Danes Cheese Ball

Christmas is just around the corner and you still have not decided on what ham and queso de bola you are going to serve to your loved ones this season, may I suggest Holiday Ham and Danes Cheese Ball? Ham and queso de bola during Noche Buena and even Media Noche are just some of the traditions most Filipino Families adhere to. 

Since these things are something that we will share to our loved ones good quality and reasonable pricing must be our top priority. In this regard, Holiday Ham and Danes Cheese Ball fit the bill.

Our family is one of those who religiously follows this delicious tradition. But remember how we also practice our family tradition of having not less than 12 dishes every Noche Buena and Media Noche to represent all 12 months of the previous and the incoming year? It can be pretty heavy on the pocket so yeah, we really appreciate those brands we trust which we can get at reasonable price.

SM City Masinag Welcomes Holiday Season with Fairytale Christmas Theme and Disney Princesses @SMCityMasinag @SMSupermalls

Today, SM City Masinag welcomes the holiday season with a Royal Holiday gathering. I am currently doing my Antipolo Food Trip Blog Series and SM City Masinag, being on of the few malls in Antipolo which houses several restaurants and food businesses is one of those which I have been wanting to explore. Being part of this event made me all the more excited with that endeavor. 

SM Supermalls nationwide is all set to give the best holiday shopping experience treats to their shoppers. One of them is SM City Masinag, hence this exciting event.

One of the highlights of this event was the revealing of the fairytale-themed centerpiece sitting amidst the Atrium. Now, shoppers can take their photos with the castle tower as their background. This will make for a good remembrance for Holiday 2015.
