My Ninang-officemate CDR and I always look at this bakeshop every time we pass by this neighborhood in San Antonio Village, Makati: The store display reminded me so much of this candy bar that I once considered for our wedding: Photo credit: Simply Love Vintage It's very pretty in pink. And today, we were finally able to check it out. Turned out it's none other than ... READ MORE
Our own-style Breaded Pork Fillet
Our lunch today was very easy to prepare and cook. It's the ol' classic breaded pork (we used the butterfly-cut pork, instead of porkchops) which we just seasoned in salt and pepper, then coated with flour (seasoned with salt and basil leaves), battered egg and bread crumbs. Here's our pork fillet being fried (by me, yehey!): I feel much comfortable frying meat ... READ MORE
Food Post: Uncle John’s Fried Chicken (at Mini Stop)
Whenever we feel like eating fried chicken during office lunch, but without the hassle of ordering from McDonald's or Jollibee, we just walk our way to the Mini-Stop store just behind our office.We love their Uncle John's Fried Chicken. Very affordable at P65.00 per order (of the 1-piece chicken meal).True to its label, it's big (but not really hot hehe). You ... READ MORE

A Different Pizza
There's an ongoing bazaar at our office today and there's a stall there selling these really big pizza slices at P80.00 per slice:I tried the chicken and cheese pizza and it tastes good. It's like having 3M pizza except that the crust is super soft it tasted more like a bread than a pizza crust to me. The pizza slice is really big that I had to share it ... READ MORE
Food Post: Army Navy
AJ and I were so happy to discover an Army Navy branch at Greenhills. We were there last Sunday and did not waste the opportunity to check it. I've been hearing nothing but raves about their burgers so I know we just have to try it. A single-patty burger costs P145.00, not bad considering the beef patty is thick and not loaded with weird spices (like Jollibee) that leaves ... READ MORE
Food Post: Rustan’s Vegetable Frittata
If you are a veggie-loving person, you will surely like the Vegetable Frittata at Rustan's Gourmet-to-Go Shop. This egg-based dish is really flavorful and healthy! It's like quiche lorraine but without the bacon. The serving size is big and is a good snack for 2-3 persons. This vegetable frittata is bursting with lots of vegetable goodness. ... READ MORE
