The Good Stuff #8

07.10.2015 by Leah // Leave a Comment

The foodie in me strikes again! Here’s another round-up of good food I’ve discovered (and re-discovered) the past months:

goodstuff_food_b

  • Veal Cheeks Ravioli at Va Bene Pasta Deli.   A ravioli dish like no other.  Portobello mushroom sauce, veal juice and parmesan cheese makes up this ordinary looking but divine pasta dish.
  • Dynamite Roll at Jipan. Since I discovered this Western-style sushi it has become our signature order at Jipan.  Generously filled with big-cut ebi tempura, kani, tamago, cucumber, crunchy tempura bits and Kewpie.
  • Cheeseburger with Fries at The Beef, Hole in the Wall.  No fancy burger flavors on this one,  just pure beef goodness that’s grilled and seasoned as you order!  Oh, the fries on the side (with pickle slices) is worth ordering too.
  • Salidou at La Creperie.  I prefer my dessert simple but with impact.  This one definitely meets my standard.  Salidou is a house favorite at La Creperie’s and I perfectly understand why.  Unlike the more expensive crepes in their menu, this one is devoid of any fruit or chocolate filling.  But the homemade salted butter caramel sauce, generously spread inside and over the crepe, is total perfection.  Do try this.
  • Scones, clotted cream and preserves at Manila Peninsula’s Lobby.  Indulging in afternoon tea sessions at Manila Peninsula is something I’d reward myself with now and then (read related post here), but it has become so expensive I decided to make it a “yearly” indulgence na lang.  The last time I was there (with the hubby as my afternoon tea date), I made sure to enjoy their very popular buttermilk scones, which I generously filled with clotted cream and strawberry preserves.  Don’t be surprised if I tell you that I finished all 4 pieces you see in the picture, hehe!

That’s all, folks.  I hope you found something here that’s worth trying out this weekend!

I'm glad I invested in this Freshair 3 air and sur I'm glad I invested in this Freshair 3 air and surface purifier last year. It's the only air purifier in the market with proven technology to kill 99.96% of Airborne and 99.98% of Surface SARS-CoV-2 👍 I had it placed in the office so I don't need to bring anymore my portable UV sterilizer and portable plasma ion purifier. With Manila on extended GCQ and the vaccine roll-out still being finalized, we cannot afford to be complacent. Mas lalo pa dapat mag-ingat with various new strains coming out, too 😬 Safety should be our top priority 👍 @freshairpurifiers
Found these Muji-inspired (or should I say, rip-of Found these Muji-inspired (or should I say, rip-off) stackable organizers at Shopee 😁 I think they're 3x cheaper than Muji's and they look durable! Proudly Made in the Philippines pa 😜 #shopeeph #shopeefinds

Hi Daddy! Lapit na ang birthday mo, and you will c Hi Daddy! Lapit na ang birthday mo, and you will celebrate it in heaven na ☁️☁️☁️ Pero kasama mo pa rin kami magce-celebrate. Same as last year, we will celebrate it at home dahil may #covid_19 pa rin. You will remember that last year, yours is the first birthday we celebrated in quarantine. I just came from Baguio (for work) and  someone from our group tested positive. Hindi na tayo nakapagpa-picture dahil puro nasa #covid_19 ang attention natin. We miss you, daddy! I hope you like your flowers today, mas marami na green leaves kaysa flowers. Just the way you like it. 💚💚 #theoriginalplantito
This Pecan Bread Pudding from @ecoookie is a disco This Pecan Bread Pudding from @ecoookie is a discovery of my foodie mom @minildade and it is my favorite #quarantinedessert so far. It taste of home, with warmth and love in every bite! 💕 It's great for breakfast or even as dessert. Best eaten warm with  vanilla cream generously poured on top! 😋
I had my annual mammo exam yesterday at the new, b I had my annual mammo exam yesterday at the new, bigger and hotel-like Makati Medical Wellness Center at Ayala North Exchange. It's so spacious and so safe in there. I wore double masks (KN95 and fabric mask from @quins.ph) and my favorite scrub cap from @unisol.ph_ with buttons on both sides for the mask ear loops. It kept my ears from hurting and kept my hair intact too. Never mind if I look more like a nurse than a patient here 😁 Safety first over porma 😜
