I forgot what type of pasta this is. I think like in Marinara

Dessert Sampler consisting of icecream cake and some swirled pancake and chocolate mousse

Which I totally forgot again but I didn't enjoy.

Yes... the best seller and tasted like Kariman :)

Reminiscing the Valentines date that I had over a year ago with a foodie friend at The Old Spaghetti House. :)

When Pizza was a staple food.

 

Pizza Hut Bistro's Ravioli 

 

Buffalo Wings 

 

Viva Pizza 

Just a Photo blog before I push myself to the grocery today. I'm craving for Maranao food and gonna cook myself some chicken today.  

This one was when we were suppose to have a team building with the Mr. Wilson. However the classic part was when everyone was in the office around 10am he came around 2ish or 2ish. You will be missed. =P

In every celebration there should always be pizza. 

Uncle Cheffy

It was crazy! Last weekend, I was given free VIP tickets for 2NE1 concert. Well first it started out not so right since bringing the SLR is not allowed in Araneta. I dragged my friend since my other friend was not able to make it. It felt surreal because it feels like you are inside a korean show or something. ALOT of luminous sticks that are being sold for 150 pesos and it really looks cute and awesome in the dark whenever people swayed along with the music. Just a short description about the concert, 2NE1 rocked the stage for 30 minutes. Say thank you if you bought 8k tickets. Alot of pinoy artists started the show and it's awesome. Christian Bautista, Callalily, Philippine Allstars and some other artists which I seem to forget. (alot huh!)

So after the show, boyfriend picked me up and we had our late dinner in Cubao. We ended up dining at Uncle Cheffy. They were giving away 10% discount. Their meals are for sharing and yummy too! 

Beef ribs with potato and salad.

The beef literally melts in your mouth. For 300 pesos, the serving is huge and delicious and I really loved it! We took some home because we could not finish the whole thing.

Along with the beef ribs, 3 types of dips were served. Salsa like dip, butter with olive oil and seems to be like basil or parsley and mild ketchup like slash bbq sauce.

Uncle Cheffy Panizza. about 200ish pesos

You can really taste every element. I love how you roll it with alfalfa and lettuce and tomatoes.

What you roll with it.

Good food. Good times. Awesome.

Boodle kaboodle

Once again, alot of long due posts because of really busy work schedule. Some of you might have wondered why I posted the pictures first without any entries. It's because I really can't find time to edit the entry from work (oh yes,,, the computer policies and all that). Anyway, for some reason, the 2 Team Leaders treated a post dinner post breakfast pre-sleep gastronomic experience at 2:00 am at Seafood Island. Apologies for the pictures but I do promise to get a point and shoot camera this month or so. 

On a chilly Saturday morning, when the rain would not stop at all, a "boodle" was laid down infront of our eyes. Resting on top of a huge rectangular shaped tray of banana leaves, we are all ready to dig in.

I could not help but focus on that not so huge crab when the boodle was served. Cooked in coconut milk with a right kick of chili.

This boodle costs around 1,400 php which is good for 4 people. In our case we were 6.  But im pretty sure this is not enough for 6 super hungry people with big appetite. Good thing I just wanted to taste everything.

You can choose to eat on a plate or eat on the banana leaf  (which you should because it's how it should be).

You\ll have Clam Soup, Crab in coconut milk, Lain, pinaputok na Tilapia,Bicol express, grilled shrimps (4) BBQ and some side dish of green mangoes and onion with bagoong. 

I\m so sorry for posting your faces here. =) It's just to compare how huge the boodle is. =P

                                  We were under these colorful pieces of cloth hanging on top and totally ruined the color of what we have ordered displaying orangey pictures. (Im not a flash person =[ )

Bicol express

Clam Soup

Everything in these boodle has coconut on it. Well not really but the crab, the laing and the pork has. for 1400 I think it's just okay. I enjoyed the food but it was lacking something. Im looking for a memorable experience and ony the crab and the bagoong made it's "I remember moments"

Maybe I'll go back to try some of their menu.

Post Mother's Day out

Due to the bad weather recently, we had to like postpone our weekend trips and wait until the weather is great. While I am writing this, I guess there is this effect of the typhoon which just passed by (according to weather reports, changed route) but still heavy rains and dark clouds on this Friday afternoon.

I am going crazy about coupons and all those great deals and few months back Irene (the bro's gf) was able to purchase 4  coupons for a foot spa treatment in Elegant Spa in Timog. So 2 Sundays ago we went to the spa to have ourselves well, the feet done. Since the SPA is up to 12am (yes midnight) we booked an appointment at around 8pm and got there around 9ish since we were all crazy on how we'd get there.

The place is small but cozy. I like their chandlier and everything is so girly.

My brother and I got the Mandarin Orange treatment.

Everyone starts off having their feet soaked with water on these rocks.

Here I am having the foot scrub thing while having my feet soaked in madarin pulps.

Then they spead this really cool mix of mandarin and mudlike mixture. It feels like menthol and citrus.

Excuse the old pedicure. After this they bring you to another room where they remove the dead skin cells on you feet, massage them and apply lacquer. The whole experience is UHHHMAAAZINNNGG!!!

The attendants are really nice and accommodating. They dont hurry up on their tasks and you can really see that your nails are filed and coated perfectly. This is so far the BEST nail salon I have ever gone to. They really make sure that you walk out with the best nails and treatment. I will definitely go back if I get around Timog.

Half the price

I thought I missed this out. Anyhoo I can definitely line up at any starbucks branch thank goodness 2-3 branches along CMW. I have this feeling I'd be able to get one tomorrow. Seeing the odds of waiting in a long line is that for 1) its 12pm-2pm on a Sunday 2) Starbucks is like 10 minutes away from my place 3) Pacquiao-Mosley fight! Im pretty sure everyone will be glued to their screen that includes me.

Oh I'm so gonna get one..err two. =D

Miss-shells

If you have been sweating like a crazy mortal since last week, look around you might be inside a hot oven already. So here I am chillin in my brother's room since it's the coolest place I know around the house. The wind is a bit cooler and stronger in this area / room in this house.

Last Friday after work, we were getting ready for the annual "Bulacan Day" for Aries' birthday. He turned 20 something I'm not really sure. Thursday and Friday I have been  ranting about a really bad case of head ache. Then Friday after work I had a really high fever. We were suppose to go for a swim around 7am before heading to Aries' place but I was stuck in bed with an on and off fever. Thinking it's JUST a fever we still headed on a 1.5-2 hour drive to Bulacan. Yes small spots appeared everywhere and I wasnt hungry the whole day but forced myself to eat because of the seafoods I await every year.

 Oysters

 Shrimps

 Mussels

Tilapia

There are alot more than these. Too bad I had to sleep and get myself isolated most of the time because I wasn't really feeling well.  I had few rashes on my face then spots started appearing everywhere. Most of them in my tummy area. I went to the hospital to have it checked and they said it was nothing. It could just be viral. Then the spots started to reduce on Wednesday. But then a bump appeared on my left ear. Then we had it checked with a family friend doctor. It was a lymph node. She then claimed I have German Measles. All I thought it was a kid's virus. Oh well... better having it now than later. =) My cousin had measles when she was like 3or 4 months pregnant and my uber handsome nephew got complications.

So yeah I was a week off from work. I'm still going around the web and trying to figure out the best vacation ever for this month. After 2 weeks I'll be heading south again. I could have gone to SG this month but yes, someone didn't get the passport right on time.

Oh by the way I was meaning to blog this earlier this week. Marks and Spencer in Eastwood has one of the best pastries ever! like I bought 12 cookies from them. They were 50% off for all  Fitness First members. Thanks to my friends who are FF members, I bought and ate em cookies. Bad news is that it's only until April 30, 2011. So now gedddit why I was meaning to blog about it. Oh well. The pastries are gooood but a bit pricey for the original price. Each enormous cookie costs around 40ish php and since it 50% off do the math. Other baked goodies are around 80php. So imagine thyself like you are in starbucks or something. The coffee is reasonable too. Only that it is brewed.

I'm friggin excited.

Wait.. I'm really excited. Ill touch and feel you in 2 weeks.... =)
