Feeling stressed? #ChooseYourBottles and chill out!

Do you belong to the young crop of the millennial generation? If yes, then you are part of the population’s most stressed out individuals.

According to recent surveys, millennials- those aged between 18 to 33, suffer from the highest stress level out of all the other current living generations. Work, money, and relationships were cited as the top three factors that make today’s young movers and shakers quite unhappy about life. Not to mention the high expectations that society has put on their shoulders.

Take the Plunge and Bring Back the Fun in Risk Taking

Risks. At one point or another, we have all craved for an adventure.

We have all wished for moments that take our breath away, and situations where we stretch ourselves, pushing our limits and living to tell the tale.

Taking risks empower us. It allows us to get to know ourselves, and most importantly, to discover parts of ourselves we didn’t even know existed. It is also essential in staying young. By taking risks, we allow ourselves to be childlike again, simply taking the plunge without hesitation or worse, overthinking.

Risk-taking doesn’t have to be life-changing, but it has to be radical enough to matter. You don’t need to suddenly switch careers or pack your bags, and leave everyone behind. You can start small.

Sometimes, taking risks is as simple as taking up a new sport or going on a new adventure on a weekend with your closest friends. For foodies, taking risks mean dining in new restaurants and for movie buffs, watching a new genre is taking movie watching on an entirely different experience. The risk you take is when you dare to step out of your comfort zone. Visit new places, talk to new people. You will never know how enriched your life would be unless you step out and take an entirely different direction.

A strategic place with a lot of traffic from medical staff, students, patients and visitors.

FOOD STOPS: Spoon Meals by FIGARO

 

Figaro never fails to surprize us as it is not just your ordinary coffee store but also a place where you can dine and enjoy your time. Plus they also have wifi for those who loves to stay connected. Now we have stopped by another Figaro store (Shangri La Plaza, 3rd floor) for new meals that they offer. These are the SPOON MEALS by Figaro.

For this offer they have two variants available and each is paired with a drink of your choice, either iced or brewed coffee or iced tea. The first is the CHICKEN THYME IN CREAMY CHEESE SAUCE (Php 215). Served with buttered corn and carrots and rice. These semi-bite sized portions are really packed with delicious chicken with the thyme just right to bring out the flavor. The creamy cheese  adds flair to the dish as it neutralizes the solid chicken texture. More than a plateful of colors, it serves a very full meal.

Now next is CHICKEN ALA KING (Php 215) made from diced chicken in special creamy sauce with vegetables served with buttered corn and carrots, steamed rice and your choice of  iced or brewed coffee or iced tea. A regular dish at parties and usually served with bread but also perfect with rice. With a rich creamy texture and taste of peppers and mushrooms.And since I do love creamy dishes makes this one my favorites. 

These dishes are perfect for people who wants to reward themselves after a hard days work. And indeed these dish combination served with drinks makes you enjoy your day at Figaro's. No need for a knife because its perfect for a spoonful of flavor and delight.

Also when you have your spoon meals you can also take a bite on these delicious desserts that brings out more smiles on your taste-buds. These are the Old English Matrimonial bar and The Banana Hazelnut Turnover.  Distinctively different but both gives your sweet tooth a treat with the right fruity goodness. Among the two I chose the Banana Hazelnut Turnover as it is oozing with sweet banana filling, not too hot nor too cold, but just right and easy to chew. The Matrimony Bar on the other hand is crunchy yet very tasty and even the bread crumbs are fun to eat.
