Delifrance: My Secret Santa

My online friend, u8mypinkcookies, sent me this in the mail a couple of weeks back... and it is one of the most touching gestures I have ever received this Yuletide Season. And somehow, it helped jumpstart the season for me this year.



I decided to finally claim my treat when they were giving out the Choco Chip Almond Biscotti.


My pretty pretty biscotti treat, finally!

Thanks, Bianca. And yes, Merry Merry Christmas....

  13. hmm, alin yung roti na sinasabi mo sis?

    ive tried the coffee bun in delifrance. actually yun yung isa sa una kong favorites in delifrance :D para syang yung kopi buns sa kopi roti.. (hehe kasi naman basta may coffee eh may appeal sakin ang taste :P )

    mapapabili siguro ko ng biscotti sa susunod na mapadaan ako sa delifrance.. or parinig kay boyfie para bigyan ako. lol.

  14. u8mypinkcookies, that's it... kopi buns pala! hahaha, engotz ko, ang narerecall ko kasi was my old blog entry re Kopi Roti. so what stuck with me was the term roti... kopi bun pala.

    sige, ill try nga the kopi buns ng delifrance next time. pero ill enjoy it with my favorite zero, not kopeee. im not a coffee drinker eh. pero caffeine addict thru cola. hahaha...

    so how you enjoy your kopi buns, whole? sliced? you add or top it with something or just plain plain???

    ReplyDelete
  15. sis, I like mine plain lang.. meron na kasi syang butter inside (in Kopi Roti ata kaya jam yung nasa loob e). okay sya kainin na freshly baked and mainit pa.. but usually kasi di ko nakakain pagkabili ko so okay lang sakin na hindi mainit.. pag nasa mood, pinapa-warm ko ng konti. lol :) i don't slice it na.. hehe bite lang ng bite! :P

    love it with coffee.. haha coffee addict naman ako.. no to softdrinks na kasi ;)

    ReplyDelete
  16. u8mypinkcookies, at least pareho tayong caffeine addicts... ;-)
    ill try to pass by Delifrance tomorrow pag nag GH kami ni Fafa...
