Reminiscing childhood days in the Philippines with every bite! A&A Sweets & Pastries is Macau's new gateway to sweet Filipino treats. From sweet coconut macaroons, soft and chewy 'espasols', to crunchy boat tarts! They even provide your all-time favorite polvorons and yemas in so much delicious varieties! Just looking at them makes me drooooool... craving for all of them mini-bites. Each package comes with the A&A label, mostly wrapped in colorful cellophane wrapper.

Everything they provide is homemade and has that authentic Philippine taste. They're perfect for light snacks or grab-and-go bites throughout the day. They could also be included as party favors or giveaways! I mean who wouldn't love receiving little mouth-watering treats, am I right? I'm a big sucker for nibbles, and I enjoy Filipino 'kakanins' and other sweet treats every once in a while. Being in Macau we don't really get to have those often. Usually only from relatives or friends who brings them back as 'pasalubong'. So having a place to finally get them easily is really a big help! Keep scrollin' to see more of what I think of these mouth-goodies!

As you may have already known, I've been working as a freelance writer for Macau Lifestyle (former Live Love Macau) focusing on tastings and reviews. Have I ever told you how I got to start working for them though? Well, one of my high school friends who was already working for them at the time asked if I could be featured on their Macau Streetstyle segment. Back then I was just starting off as an official Fashion Blogger so I like "why the hell not?".

The reveal: I'm off to Philippines tomorrow! Expect a lot of Instagram and blog posts in the coming weeks! If you don't already know, Philippines has a very tropical climate, and I mean, 'non-stop sweating' kind of climate. It's also a bit humid but not as bad as Macau so I already know what I'll be dealing with for a week.

I was born and raised here; Macau has always been my one true home! It used to be a very small and quiet region until it developed into one of Asia's most traveled destinations. One good thing about that is that it made Macau more exposed to international trends! Live and Love Macau  is one of those companies that cater to international entertainment while boosting the image of Macau's culture.

Happy Chinese New Year and Happy Year of the Monkey! It's the 2nd day of the new year (Yes! Chinese spend their New Years for a week or so) and most of my fellow young citizens are excited to collect their "lai si"/red pockets. Also, to those who just got married, sucks to be you! (Yepp, I'm talking about you @styleche ) Coz from now on, you should be giving rather than receiving!
