Aria Cucina Italiana: Make Your Own Pizza (MYOP)!

About two weeks ago, I was invited to a Make Your Own Pizza Party at Aria Cucina Italiana! I took the kids with me, well, this activity is really for Y so I was really excited! I was psyching her out in the car on our way to Aria. :)

This wasn't our first time to dine at Aria. My first time was in Boracay and I remembered I loved the food! Nowadays, kid-friendly restaurants are important to me. It's hard to keep a toddler still when she's bored and antsy! I'm happy that Aria now offers a menu especially for kids!

While waiting for the program to start, Y busied herself with coloring her place mat. She was initially fussy but she warmed up eventually. Whew!

We also got to try their Fish and Chips while waiting

Our host that afternoon was Bianca Araneta-Elizalde. Here she is with the Chef Franchesco  giving us a demo and explaining how to put the toppings and not to crowd them.

After which the kids and kids at heart get to make their own pizza! I had to help Y put the toppings on her pizza. She was eating the ham and cheese while putting them on the pizza haha! And after we were done making our pizza, it was taken to brick oven!

Et voila! Yummy Hawaiian pizza for us to share! Well, I ate most of it. But she enjoyed doing it! She wants to make one more pa nga! Maybe next time when we dine again in Aria! :)

My Happy Girl!

Amanda Loving Life!

Last Saturday, I was invited to very a lovely and intimate lunch at Aria Cucina Italiana for mommy bloggers by Amanda Griffin Jacob. When I got the invite thru email, I literally blinked twice to see what I was actually seeing. Hehe! Of course I confirmed agad and told hubby about it. :p

I think first time I saw her was at the airport. She was still a VJ for Channel V back then. She's actually one of my favorite VJs and model! So imagine my excitement talaga when I got the invite!

When I arrived, Fleur was already there and of course Amanda. Who would have thought I'd be sitting in front of a super model in this lifetime?! OA ba? Haha! We got to chat a little bit about her pregnancy and her son Kieran and me telling her about my kids. She's so nice, pretty (inside and out), real and she's always smiling.

From sitting down, you wouldn't thought she's pregnant! She's 7.5 months along.
