How To Make a No-Bake Cheesecake

This is the first time I tried making a cheesecake without baking it. And if you will just follow the instructions right, surely yours will be a successful and yummy one also! I used a 9-inch spring form pan and this is good already for 10-15 persons. I made this during my parents' birthday celebration and everybody loved it! :) All you need are the following. . . For crust: 300g crushed grahams 225g unsalted butter For filling: 2 x 8 oz. cream cheese 300ml all-purpose cream 300ml condensed milk 595g blueberry filling 25g gelatin (white) 10 tbsp. water 1 whole egg Procedures: 1. Mix well the crushed grahams and butter. 2. Place the crushed grahams mixed with butter in the springform pan. Press it evenly into bottom to form a crust. Put in refrigerator while you're making the filling. (Do not store the crust in the freezer, chiller would be fine. Mine got blocked crust when we sliced it. The filling didn't even stick to the crust.) 3

Another hide-out in Davao City: #deq @ Saging Repablik

Saging Repablik is one of the surviving cafes in Davao City. And what I think the reason why is because it's going along with the trends. They renovated their resto converting the small space then into a one-building rustic hangout place for everyone, still on the same location at Tionko Avenue Corner V. Mapa Street , Davao City . I think they even extended their menu to give their customers more options to choose from the food and drink list. From cakes, frappes, meals and desserts, yes, banana fruit is present (well just telling you just incase you're wondering what's with the resto's name) although not really to all food and drinks. The building has two floors: the lower is for those who want an airconditioned room while the upper floor which they call as #deq (it's hashtag deck or just call it deck) is an open space usually for those who want to chill and hangout. Also on its second floor is a mini function room which can cater around 15-20 persons. They&#

Wandering Singapore with Php 10,000 budget

Image
 At Suntec City Mall, with Marina Bay Sands as the view. August 2015. After three days at Kuala Lumpur, our next stop is Singapore! You can travel either by bus or plane but I advise to take the latter instead. Aside from it's time saving (flight is one hour), I know you don't like any hassle in your travel like transferring from one bus to another and stopping over for how many times for immigration checkpoints (travel time is eight hours). Besides, airfare is cheaper also just like via Airasia. Mine is Php 500 only for a one way ticket (KL to SG) while bus would cost around Php 1,500. Our travel there was in right time with the 50th founding anniversary of Singapore calling the celebration as SG50. Lots of stores and amenities were offering discounts and promos. (Tip: Although visiting places during their local celebration or holidays is quite stressful due to lots of people, it's a big helpful when you want to save with your expenses with their promos.
