Figaro's New Christmas Treats perfect for the Holidays!

Christmas is truly a season of family celebration and bonding with gift-giving, unlimited candies and Christmas tree-decorating. A million thanks to my dear mentor Ms. Josephine Bonsol for an early Yuletide treat with Figaro's new Christmas Delights, I was able to take a break from last minute papers and to forget the butterflies in my stomach waiting for my final grades as I bonded with my nanay and kuya Mark Fortaleza at Figaro Tomas Morato last week.

It's chocolate overload with Figaro's Triple Chocolate Toffee Bar (Php95), a heavenly slice of layered chocolate that is every kid's dream come true: chocolate fudge, nutty toffee filled nuts and chocolate ganache with chocolate balls on top. It was our favorite as I remembered getting amused at the chocolate balls wrapped in different Christmas-colored foils our titas would always give us during Yuletide season.

You will surely fall in love with Figaro's Red Velvet Cake (Php110), a slice of delightful red soft and moist cake with layers of sweet frosting to compliment the chocolatey red taste of the cake. It's perfect not just for the Christmas season but also for birthdays as I remembered my friend giving a two-thumbs-up to the delectable moist cake perfect for dessert after a satisfying lunch of Figaro's Spoon Meals.

Fruit cakes always complete the Christmas celebration made even more special with Figaro's Taisan Fruit Cake (Php70), soft foam cake filled with a burst of Christmas flavors of fruit glaze and nuts.

Add Figaro's Christmas Cupcake (Php80) and your sweet Christmas is complete: a chocolate moist cupcake topped with butter frosting and colorful Christmas candy sprinkles that reminded me of the vibrant decorations on our Christmas tree.

Figaro's Cheese Bacon Scone (Php85) was new to me, but I enjoyed the cheese and bacon-flavored quick bread best dipped with Figaro latte as I listened to nanay Josephine's amusing stories I'll always cherish.

Satisfy your cravings and feel the magic at Figaro!

Spending time with friends is always made even more special at Figaro.

It was my friend Cedric's birthday last December and together with my twin sister Jillian, we celebrated and sang our belated Happy Birthday at Figaro EDSA Shangri-la Mall complete with Figaro's mouth-watering Red Velvet Cake (P129), a heavenly red moist cake with rich chocolate and creamy frosting that would satisfy your sweet tooth beyond expectations.

We also ordered their Spoonful Meals: Chicken a la King(P215), an irresistible dish of diced chicken in rich creamy sauce you would never forget, and Chicken Thyme (P215), a plateful of deep fried chicken fillet with creamy cheese sauce and buttered corn and carrots on the side. We also ordered Tuna Macaroni Salad (P139) and I was really surprised with the big helping of creamy macaroni and tuna with boiled egg on top.

Feel the Magic at Figaro with its Figaro Magic Mug!

I've always loved coffee and nothing can make it more special than drinking it using Figaro's Magic Mug (P209). The magic begins whenever you pour in hot water and its black thermal covering will slowly reveal a unique Figaro design promoting the benefits of coffee and how it can help Filipino coffee farmers whenever you indulge in a hot brew from Figaro.

They also have Smoke Design Mugs (P199) available in three exquisite colors: yellow, maroon and green, and Ceramic Tumbler (P330) available in two colors: red and brown.

You know what's more magical? Premium roasted arabica coffee beans in your Magic Mug! Figaro's Coffee Blend Cafe Maharlika (P270) gives you pure and rich coffee beans roasted to perfection to bring out that unique coffee flavor and aroma. They also have Monte Alto (P260), Barako Gold (P280) and Cafe Vigoroso (P260) Coffee Blends.

The best about Figaro coffee beans is that once roasted with Figaro's very own roasters, they are delivered to the shops right away without traveling great distances. And these only assure you of one thing: fresh roasted coffee beans in your cup.

Santa's coming to town with Figaro's Christmas Pastries!

Ready your socks and watch out for your mom and dad's Santa Clause costumes! The countdown is on and Christmas is even made more special with Figaro's new Christmas Pastries!

I was surprised at myself not even realizing (for the first time) that the -Ber months were already dominating the year, with the tons of school work and deadlines that's driving me crazy as usual. I got my sweet break when I attended Figaro's launching of its Christmas Pastries at Edsa Shangri-la Mall with bloggers last Wednesday and I was truly thankful because it brought me back the good old days when my siblings and I would always watch out under the Christmas tree if we received any sweets from the ever-mysterious Santa Claus.

I was overwhelmed at the sight of Figaro's elegant Red Velvet Cake, and it tasted like heaven with its moist chocolate and rich creamy frosting, plus a hidden layer of caramel and showered with nuts on the side.

The Figaro Fruit Cake made me remember my mom's own fruit cake with its generous heap of fruits and nuts on the  inside and outside. To complete that Yuletide color, the chocolate-based cake is laced with alcohol (brandy) covered with white chocolate royal icing and glazed fruit bits.

I got the mint fever with the Peppermint Brownie glazed with oozing white chocolate and peppered with candy confetti sprinkles. This chewy, fudgy and refreshing mint flavored brownie will definitely make you feel the chill air of the Yuletide season.

I'll always be the kid with the sweet tooth, as I especially loved the Butterscotch Bar, with the brownie caramelized to perfection, coated with rich chocolate and topped with yummy nuts.

It was actually my first time to taste a Gingerbread Cookie, and I mused at my childhood memories of my mom telling us the fairy tale story over and over again. Figaro's Gingerbread cookie is made of soft dough, butter and sugar. There was definitely a tang of ginger with its special royal icing and colorful candy confetti sprinkles.

Christmas is definitely in the chill air with Figaro's sweet Christmas Tree Cookie glazed with special royal icing and showered with candy confetti sprinkles.

The Pistachio Biscotti was new to me and I loved munching on the crisp and crunchy double baked cookie dipped in sweet white chocolate on both ends and sprinkled with green pistachio. I also enjoyed dipping it to Figaro's hot brewed coffee that definitely relieved me from all the stress on such a rainy season.

Make your holidays more special with that Christmas spirit with Figaro's new Christmas Pastries! You can visit their website at www.figarocoffee.com.
