Christmas FEAST

Every 24th of December, I'm the master of the kitchen.

Nobody could say otherwise.

This Christmas was a bit of a whirlwind.

It was chaos. It was quite the rush. 

I spent 2 hours slaving in the kitchen- I usually spend half a day.

Despite that, we had a lovely and might I say simple simple dinner.

And as always, I try to make it better than the previous year.

Avocado Cake, Lia's Cakes in Season

Sitting pretty waiting for me to take a slice and indulge.

I'm an avocado freak. I love guacamole, avocado ice cream, and smoothies. Then there's avocado with toasted bread, avo in my caesar salad, and my avo in my sandwiches. Crab and avo, tomato and avo, shrimp and avo, salmon and avo, fried egg and avo, oh let's just put it this way, I can't get enough AVO.


I got to Kapitolyo to get some grub from Charlie's Grind and Grill which is totally legendary. So anyway, one time after dining at Charlie's, we noticed a cake shop next door and it had an ad which read Avocado Cake. No words were needed to be said, we were getting one.

Crunchy pistachios

If you can't see, it's a 2 layer cake! More ICING in between!

It appears like your ordinary cake, the icing and the chiffon. But wait till you take a bite, it's very moist and tastes completely like avocado. It's an avocado explosion. The pistachio nuts on top give that contrast and crunch that would just encourage you to eat more. I love the fact that the cake isn't too sweet like the normal ones you get. The only improvement? I'd like the pistachio nuts to be caramelized, that would just elevate the presentation of the whole cake.


Discovering the Avocado Cake is a total revelation. Well, I guess you should expect nothing short of that  when it's a recipe that has been passed down from generation to generation!


I'll be seeing eating more of the Avocado Cake really soon. Their other cakes look equally good, I'll give em a try next time. One last thing, they make deliveries too, PERFECT.
