Jack's Loft

If my boyfriend and I have something in common it will be about food. ;)
We both love to eat, I remember last March we celebrated his birthday in a Dampa Restaurant (Filipino Restaurant, where you can buy fresh sea foods and you can ask the restaurants to cook them for you.) at Macapagal Avenue. We had Tempura, baked oyster, calamares, and crabs. Yes, it's just the two of us. hihi
Moving on, last Friday after office hours, we decided to eat at Jack's Loft, well it's our first time there and we thought all along that they only sell cakes and pastries but yeah we're wrong. ;)

Cheese Sticks with Marinara Sauce
For the appetizer, we ordered cheese sticks with marinara sauce. Well this is quite disappointing, I expect every bite to be oozing with cheese, or at least gooey, but they served it cold so my expectations died. ;(
Maybe if they served it hot, it would have been a different story.

Salted Caramel Nutella Brownies

I have confessed with you my love for sweets in my previous post especially when it comes to chocolates.
This time I would like to share with you on how to make salted caramel brownies! I have read several articles online which has several ideas on how to make a gooey, creamy, and luscious brownies. And saw an article about Salted Caramel Brownie, and since I've already tasted something like this at my Father's friend house. (I'm not the one who baked nor bought it. ;p ) The one I tasted was different the caramel is in between the fudgy brownie not like the image below.
I felt the urge of showing you the ingredients as well as the procedures on how to make this for you to try. :)
This one is indeed a piece of heaven in every bite, but I have to warn you if you are on a diet, this will not help you in any way, (sugar and calories overload)  but if you have a sweet tooth like me and not much concerned with your diet well this is good for you.;)
But before I proceed with the ingredients, I must tell you that I am not a baker myself, and that I don't have the equipments to do so. But given the opportunities and if I have the equipments I would love to try!
I like the salted caramel brownie version of vittlesandbits since she added Nutella spread in the brownie. :)
