ON FOOD TRIP: JAPANESE-STYLE HOTDOGS

A late post.

The mall was crowded on a Saturday so we gave a try on a Japanese-styled hotdogs.  We liked it! Friends and i enjoyed the food there while we chattered the rest of the evening.  But just recently i have been to the same mall but the shop was not there anymore.  Glad to have tried their food though.  By the way, we loved how they named the food on the menu.

ON FOOD TRIP: TOUS LES JOURS

Not into sweets much but i am in awe as always with these artful presentation of cakes @ Tous les Jours!  Food for my eyes.  Surely, those with sweet tooth would enjoy more. I love their macarons, bread and pasties.  Will share you more from this shop on next posts!

ON FOOD TRIP: APPLE CIDER VINEGAR

Apple cider vinegar is now part of our daily diet.  With all its health benefits i say the sour taste is not that bad.  Quoting the first time i had it.."oh sh*t , oh sh*it"..'twas all i had ever said! lol!  But don't mind me... I meant Cheers to good heath saying that. :)

SEAN COOKS: PORK RIBS ADOBO

PORK RIBS ADOBO ALA SEAN

VEGETABLES FROM THE SOUP

I see lesser rice which is good.  I know man can not live by bread alone but Baby so is by rice. LOL! 

He needed a break from fish and chicken so it's okay...it is weekend and must cook all pork in the fridge.  Love that dried Pork ribs Adobo.  By the way,  to those who doesn't know what Adobo is, it is something cooked in vinegar and soy sauce.  We liked it dry and a bit spicy.  You can cook Adobo using chicken cutlets as well.

SEAN'S FOOD TRIP: OVEN GRILLED TROUT

Sean is on a diet..well for now that his blood pressure blasted high on the bp scale!  His first time to get a high reading.  Less meat intake, less sodium and less...on everything!

He was able to get this fresh Trout at Paddy's Market.  Grilled Trout overload! He was all out on this.  With slices of ginger, tomatoes, red capsicum, onions, scallions, and dash of spices, wrapped in foil and into the oven.    Hmmmm...the aroma when he opened the foil when done.   It was paired with chickpea salad.  Another satisfied tummy! 

FRUIT OF THE DAY: STRAWBERRY

I have been craving for these!

Sean got them fresh at Paddy's Market, Sydney.   Just look how fresh they are and still fresh green leaves attached on each.  I wanted more of these Baby!

ON FOOD TRIP: SBARRO

BAKED ZITI WITH MEATBALL..ziti, mozzarella,
romano cheese, ricotta,
tomato or alfredo sauce

GARLIC BREAD AND STUFFED PIZZA..Two crisp layers of dough overstuffed
with 100% whole milk mozzarella
cheese, Mama Sbarro’s own pizza sauce
mozzarella, italian sausage,
pepperoni, romano cheese, spices.

These are dinner!  Took home some Stuffed Pizza, pasta and garlic bread! Kiddos love these as much as i do.  I am always fond of their wide varieties of stuffed pizzas but for pasta, it will be forever baked ziti for me.

ON FOOD TRIP: SEAFOOD NOODLES

We love noodles may it be thin, thick, rounded or flat, with soup or dry.  We love this seafood noodles.  It is kinda sweet and spicy and dry. Shared this with Kurt , my nephew, who loves pigging out with me!

COFFEE OF THE DAY: MCCAFE COFFEE FLOAT

COFFEE FLOAT FROM MCCAFE!

ON FOOD TRIP: KFC

Among sandwiches at KFC, Spicy Zinger is on top of the list,  but surely this Double Decker is climbing the chart.

Double Decker is made up of two big original recipe chicken fillets with bacon strips, sliced cheese, lettuce and mayo, sandwiched in a Kaiser bun.

Kurt and i, both love sandwiches and these kind of big ones send us in awe!  Got this to go for him!


We rated this 5 out of 5 with two thumbs up! 

ON FOOD TRIP: BONCHON REVISITED

Crispy Squid Rice

Revisited BonChon, ATC branch.  The place is always crowded and just got lucky to newly vacated tables in front of the counter.  It was already late and we were really so hungry that time making this photo so blurry, my apology.  For seafood lovers, here is a must-try menu from BonChon.  Fried Crispy Squid rings, sweet and spicy, golden brown, atop a cup of steamed rice.  Non- chicken diners will love this menu.

I usually go for Beef Bulgogi rice with extra beef dining in.  I always wanted these beef strips over still hot steamed rice.  I ordered Kimchi coleslaw as well,  for the spicy twist on side dish. 

ON FOOD TRIP: GONGCHA

Gong Cha, Glorrietta Makati

Lemon Winter Melon Tea

Honey Dew Milk Tea

Another favorite tea drinks for Kurt.  He always wanted their Honey Dew Milk Tea.  What is good with their tea is that you can reduce the sugar level to your taste. My first time to try their Creative mix Lemon Winter Melon Tea.  Thing is that it was premixed so i can not suggest to lower the sugar level and it was too sweet for me.  Regretted at the moment i had the first sip.  I should have ordered the regular Milk Tea. But anyways, we are still fond of their Milk tea and Ice cream special.

ON FOOD TRIP: WE SCREAM FOR ICE CREAM

With the heat the kids all just ever want are cold frozen something. They screamed for ice cream!   We got Purple yam cake and Choco chip cookie dough. Happy weekend!

DRINK OF THE DAY: STARBUCKS' FRAPPUCCINO

Friends and I just had dinner and a trip to Starbucks next for an after-dinner-treat.  I always love cold drinks after and it was Green tea frap for me.

Green Tea Frappuccino® blended beverage A delightful blended beverage, created with green tea powder, ice and milk.

Mocha Frappuccino® blended beverage A blissful blended beverage, created with espresso, chocolate, ice and milk.

One of my friends, who loves chocolate cakes, tried out this.  I just had to try a spoonful of this sweetness!  Bought some choco eclairs and sandwich for the kiddos at home.

ON FOOD TRIP: CINNABON

Cinnabon Stix

My first love before any other pastries are the Cinnabon cinnamon rolls with nuts and frostings!  I am a sucker for those cinnamon flavored pastries.  Now also missing Cinnabon's Mochalatta Chill.  Nicole, my niece, is a fan of their Oreo Chillatta. On the other hand, Kurt, my nephew, is fond of their minibons.

Candy photos from last Christmas...

ON FOOD TRIP: Café FRANCE

I miss these pastries already from Café France. Thanks to our Sales Engineer from Samsung for his thoughtfulness.   I love pastries especially the ones which are not that sweet.  Paired with hot choco that would make make my morning!  Now, i wonder when again can i have a good morning breakfast with pastries and coffee or hot choco by the beach and catching up on my reading...

ON FOOD TRIP: Café CRAVINGS

From the salad bar. All fresh and crunhy i got from the counter, Got greens (lettuce), tuna flakes, diced ham, cucumber. corn kernel, and slices of Jicama or Turnip locally know as "singkamas".

Lemon and wheat grass juice

Corn Soup

Ripe Mango shake

Cucumber and tomato salad (which i totally liked!)

I can't remember how they called this meatballs with tomato sauce and it was kinda sour coz of the sauce but i liked it.

I was at Cravings with colleagues.  Actually, this is a late post already but wanted to share with you the experience.  We were supposed to have just coffee and cakes but since we were starving to death at that moment we decide to just have dinner and i had these! I loved the place and ambiance considering the small space they have got. Too bad i failed to take picture of the salad counter.  The food presentation i loved as well.   I loved the food and i was full!

Satisfy your Cravings!
