Nasi Lemak = Good!

After 12 hours of fasting and 5 hours at Medical City for diagnostic & laboratory exams, I got extremely hungry! Since Robinsons Galleria's the nearest mall to go to for lunch, I decided to walk my chunky butt there & grab some chow. When I chanced upon Nasi Lemak, I knew where I wanna eat. There were so many delectable food choices to pick from ... the best chow from Singapore, Indonesia, Thailand, Malaysia & India. I picked the Nasi Lemak Set, consisting of moist & juicy BBQ chicken, cucumber, thin & crispy Indian papadam, egg, sambal ikan bilis (dried anchovies with spicy paste), fried kuning or fish and nasi lemak rice (coconut milk rice) with peanuts. That was good and heavy! I also ordered the Thai Pomelo salad ... fresh pomelo chunks with shredded cabbage and carrots, tossed in a sweet yet mildly spicy Thai dressing. Definitely, this salad was one refreshing treat! It was a satisfying meal for me, once again. I can't wait to try the other dishes soon! *burp*

Easy Breezy!

Last Sunday, we decided to meet up with friends at TriNoMa to have dinner and watch "Resident Evil: Afterlife." We anticipated a long queue for this blockbuster movie, especially on a Sunday night. Just to avoid the hassle of lining up, we used Sureseats.com. Ticket reservations were such a breeze! After getting the
tickets, we went to Super Bowl of China for dinner. I got the Roast Pork with Bean Curd rice toppings for only Php 99! What a treat! With bottomless drinks and shrimp crackers (or kropek), that was a steal. After dinner and chit-chats, we had Dairy Queen for dessert. The Butterfinger Blizzard was such a classic favorite! Yummy! I decided not to watch the movie, simply because I didn't even catch the 1st 3 Resident Evil movies! Alone, I rode the MRT from North Avenue Station to Magallanes Station. Again, it was easy breezy ... no traffic, no big crowds and I was seated the whole trip ... all because it was a Sunday. That's why I love Sundays! I can't wait for the next weekend. *smile*

Lovin' Sundays...

Waking up after hours of complete slumber on a beautiful Sunday is such a bliss! What's more delightful -- breakfast in bed! With a plate full of dilis and tomatoes, danggit, corned beef, sinangag plus a cup of hot and thick chocolate ... what more can you ask for? Oh how I love Sundays! *quality time*

Mmm Taco & Spag!

Today's a TGI Friday and it's a holiday! I'm loving the atmosphere -- no hustle & bustle, a li'l bit of clean air & no traffic! As soon as I got out of RCBC Plaza, I knew where I was headed to. I've been craving for Pancake House's tacos and spaghetti thus, I went straight to its Waltermart branch. I ordered their House Specialties plate -- the best taco in town (ground beef, lettuce, tomato, onions & cheese in a crispy taco shell), just-like-Mom's spaghetti with meat sauce, 1-pc pan fried chicken, fresh garden salad, yummy garlic bread & traditional chunky potato salad on the side. Buuurp! *craving satisfied*

Aaah! Just saw this photo in my phone's photo album. It's BD's chicken sopas! How I miss the hot, creamy chicken soup, full of firm-to-the-bite macaroni, shredded chicken breast, chunks of vienna sausage, crunchy julienned carrots & cabbage ... comatose, 'ika nga ni Toni! *waiting for October for BD's arrival*

Canyon Cove Once More ...

I had such a memorable 3-day weekend last week. The gang headed out to one of our favorite places, Canyon Cove in Nasugbu, Batangas. We arrived there at around 10pm on Saturday. Despite the lack of space, all 14 of us managed to squeeze our butts just to savor a great experience together. With minimal sleep and growling tummies, we went to Skyline Restaurant at the hotel for brekkie buffet. The guys went swimming at the pool, did smack-down pool fights and then had an hour of beach volleyball under the scorching heat of the sun. On our way back to Manila, we stopped at Kaye Ryan Grill in Tagaytay for dinner. Everybody were dead-tired but definitely had uber fun! I'm looking forward to another weekend get-away with these guys. *smile*

Bring It On, Breton ...

Whether you’re longing for savory or sweet crepes, Cafe Breton brings you the best of both worlds. I love the sinfulness this place delivers. Last Friday night, we dropped by at its Tomas Morato branch and ordered dessert crepes to go. Got this: French pancake, filled with peanut butter, grape concord jelly and fresh bananas, folded in four and topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. D-E-L-E-C-T-A-B-L-E! On the other hand, Toni, Edward and RJ got the La Pinay … crepe filled with mangoes and Nutella. Now, can you please help me spell delectable again? *crepe heaven*

Mami Goodness!

For the nth time, I found myself stuck in the middle of a jam-packed MRT train northbound on a busy Friday night. Toni decided to meet me & RJ for dinner at our favorite mami house, Masuki.

Why do we love Masuki? They offer a variety of good-tasting mami, siopao and siomai at very affordable prices. I was hungry like a horse so I ordered a huge bowl of my favorite, Beef Wonton Mami … gupit noodles on steaming hot soup with tasty beef brisket, beef wonton (which you can order separately, too) and freshly chopped green onions. Mmm! I also got their Pork Asado Siopao … delicious steamed bun filled with scrumptious shredded pork. Comforting indeed. These toothsome stuff go well with black gulaman. *busog to death*

Visit Masuki at Sekai Center along Ortigas Ave. cor. Madison Street, Greenhills, San Juan City.
