A trip at Ted's in Sta. Cruz, Laguna

Kung Hei Fat Choi! I am thankful that we get to have Chinese New Year as a holiday even though we're not Chinese, hehe. For yesterday's holiday, we had a "Titas" (Me and Kat) and Mommy's (Emi) Day Out. We planned this road/food trip when Emi got back from Singapore. Louie was supposed to come with us but she got caught up with her personal errands.

Anyway, we initially just planned to have lunch somewhere near UPLB then we just decided that we head over to TED's in Sta.Cruz, Laguna, because: 1) It was part of the original plan; and 2) Emi and I have never been there.

I love the feel of the place. I am a fan of Shabby Chic themes.

I must admit though, I have heard not so good reviews about Ted's. It took us quite a long time to order because we want to make sure to enjoy our first time eating experience.

However, this note is helpful:

I didn't know that Ted's place is big, we get to dine al fresco and with only three of us chatting away.

We were so hungry, here's what we ordered: 

Wiped out! My goodness, I've never been this full, since... I don''t remember anymore. 

Before leaving, we went to another area of Ted's. This shop sells whole cakes only. 

Food Verdict: We enjoyed the food! Obvious ba? I love especially the smoothies. Kat doesn't recommend the Family Platters. We were hesitant to eat here at first because all of the bad reviews (like: food is blah, nothing spectacular, blah blah...) I guess it's really what you will order that can make or break the food experience. In our case, we got lucky we liked it! I actually have a simple taste palette so if I was not able to like the food, then it must be that bad. But I'm glad that besides having a good company, we enjoyed the food and good thing because we paid more than Php500.00 each. 

And we're off to our next impromptu adventure: Slippers Shopping in Liliw. Emi's never been there so it's a must that we take her to Liliw since it's only 30 minutes away from Ted's. 

Hope you had a nice holiday! :)
