Mom Violy and Carmina’s dining experience at Dean & DeLuca

  Mom Violy told me she wanted to order the Paella Negra from Dean & Deluca. Carmina suggested we dine in since we’d never really tried their main courses, always just getting takeout with the cream puffs . Mom Violy agreed, and we arrived about thirty minutes before the lunch rush began. The service was very slow, even though we had ordered ahead of time. They mistakenly brought out the Paella Valenciana , despite Mom Violy repeating the order three times to the person who took it.

Japanese Baked Donut Puffy-O Banana Walnut, Garlic Butter Bun and Sausage Roll all from Kumori Japanese Bakery


Carmina wanted to add bread to her fridge giving her enough to eat. Carmina decided to try each type of breads on her plate.

The brown one is the Japanese Baked Donut Puffy-O Banana Walnut Donut for PHP 108.00 ($2.16).


The ingredient is just like a banana bread just a donut being moist and soft with loads of walnuts.

Left hand side is the Garlic Butter Bun that seem to be popular these days floating around in the social media for PHP 65.00 ($1.30).


Yes, it is small enough to fit in the palm of your head. Garlic Butter Bun is soft and has already sliced to separate from each other. You can say it is a mini loaf. 

I had enjoyed eating it with my spaghetti.

The last bread on the right side is the sausage roll for PHP 46.00 ($0.92)


For those who love to eat chicken hotdog sandwich will surely enjoy this one.
