Larcy's Cupcakery Cafe, BF Homes Paranaque, Philippines

Larcy's Cupcakery Cafe  is located in BF Homes Paranaque. Living just 5 minutes from the store, you might have guessed that I will visit this store no matter what. Yes my cupcake addiction will never stop. I have seen a lot of blog post about Larcy's as well as TV Shows like for example Kris TV. So I think that this place is very popular as it has a lot of advertisements. 

This cupcakery (as what they claimed they are) opened early last year to the people. People who passed by Aguirre are attracted to the design of the place. For me it is your typical cupcake store which is pastel in colour with a lot of chandeliers. It is the same thing for the Vanilla Cupcake Bakery, though I like to colour combination and ambiance of the latter one. 

Compared to other cupcakes store Larcy's cupcakes cost lesser, though it is still within the range it is cheaper than that of what I have blogged previously. Prices range from P65 to P90. But unlike Vanilla Cupcake Bakery and Cupcake's by Sonja's, Larcy's offer a wider variety of food. They serve meals as well as a lot of beverages. 

When you order their Larcy's Frozen Red Velvet Cheesecake which cost P195 what would they do is they would take the cupcake (exactly the Red Velvet Cheesecake cupcake) and they would put it in their machine (for shakes), add sugar, and milk then you have your beverage now! I must say that even though the beverage is quite expensive it is good and you can really taste the bakery beverage that they wanted to achieve. 


Pick which cupcake you like 

Everything is nice, moist and delicious




Feeling hungry? Buy their meals! I have never tried it before but it's worth trying
                 




There is a lot of seat for everyone. If you want to smoke or chill outside there is an open place beside and upstairs for added view of BF Homes

I find their shirt expensive as well as the mugs. I would rather buy cupcakes than buy these souvenir items

Left to right ( Banana Nutella P70, Banana Cream Cheese P70, Quezo de Bola P85, their box for take out) 




My sister is more addicted to sweets than me (Choco Chip Cookies P65 and Milk Chocolate Ganache 80)

My Sister and Mom loves dessert a lot!

Universal Studios Singapore, Singapore

Universal Studios is the first place to visit for families, friends and couples whenever they go to Singapore. Sub-divided into seven zones namely: Hollywood, New York, Sci-Fi City, Ancient Egypt, Lost World, Far Far Away and Madagascar. In order for you to enter you must pay SGD $74 for Adults, SGD $54 Children (4 to 12) and SGD $36 for Senior Citizens for 1 day. They also offer 2 day pass so you will not miss out any rides because of the long queue. In addition with this if you do not want to queue up, you must pay additional for the express pass. 

My Family went to USS twice already but I did not join them the second time around because I have been there already and I find it very tiring. Tiring because of the heat and all the lining up. As you enter the famous logo of Universal Studio will welcome you where most of the people take picture. (Ok ok it's outside the USS) 

1. Hollywood Zone 
- the only attraction here is the Monster Rock, a show that everybody could enjoy. This was our first ride and boy was the line long. The ride is a train ride which showcase the Sesame Street Characters about their search for meatballs. Most of the shops like restaurants and souvenirs could be found here. So you could see a lot of people spending!

Universal Studios Globe 

Hollywood Zone! Your adventure begins here 

My dad, brother, sister and Mom with Po from Kung Fu Panda

2. New York Zone
- Lights, Camera Action! Hosted by Steven Spielberg is a ride which shows how movies are made. The main target of this attraction is the Hurricane. You can really see that making a movie is really expensive with all the props and effects!
- Stage 28, what I know about this ride is it's sound effect. I cannot remember if we did ride this or not.
Our favourite Characters! 




3. Sci- Fi City 
- Battlestar Galactica, when my family went here it was only me who rode the ride and it was so fun. I was previously afraid into riding roller coaster but hell it gives me the adrenaline. I would not recommend for a second ride in one day because of the line! hahah 
- Transformers The Ride: The Ultimate 3D Battle, one of the best ride ever in USS, if only I have an express pass I would take a ride all over again! 
- Accelerator, we did not manage to experience this one.

Boy they have a very good balance! I must say 
I know my mom is very tired! haha. 

The crazy line in Transformers 



4. Far Far Away Land 
- I know young girls felt very happy seeing this castle. Yes I also dreamed of becoming a princess one day when I was young that's why I love Princess Diaries a lot! 
- Shrek 4-D Aventure, the only attraction we manage to get into. It's like watching a movie with again  water, wind, heat and touch of a frog. My first time in a 4D attraction 
- Enchanted Airways, if only I know that there is a roller coaster ride in this place I would have gone in. So lesson learned you must always look at the map! 
- Donkey Live, we did not manage to ride this one as well! 

A very very beautiful castle! 

This time we did buy a pillow! My sister by the way cannot have those furry stuff toys because of her allergy so these pillows would be a good choice


5. The Lost World
- there are a lot of rides here which everybody could enjoy. The first one on my list is the Water World, it is again like the other attractions where you could watch how the film is made.
- Jurassic Park Rapids Adventure, Canopy Flyer, Dino-Soarin, Amber Rock Climb- these are the attractions again that we did not get into.

Water World! 
6. Ancient Egypt
- Revenge of the Mummy, according to my friends this is the best ride or attraction for them! We did not manage to ride it because it was getting later already and the line is freaking long! So maybe you could try it. One of the best so far according again to my friends.
- Treasure Hunters, a ride for children so we did not go in.

7. Madagascar
- my sister and I rode the Madagascar: A crate adventure, but it was for children so since my sister is not that young anymore both of us did not enjoy the ride. Though I think children will have fun seeing the characters from Madagascar
- King Julien's Beach: Party-go-around, I am a sucker for Carousels but since it would awkward for an adult like me to ride alone for my sister doesn't want to, I ended up not riding it.


If you are not going to buy the Express Pass you will definitely not go into all the attractions so I would suggest that you buy the Express Pass or the two day pass so you could enjoy all the rides. But if you are planning to go again next time then it is fine.

I am a Carnival Kid so I love USS a lot. This is the best so far for me. :-)
