Out of Breath

I am amazed by the service and how lovely the staff are in St Luke's. I am currently confined and being relieved and treated from by bronchitis asthma. Really crazy, maybe because of the stress and really early morning errands and work schedules.

According to the nurse most of their patients are kids so I'm lined up with them with the every 4 hours nebulizer thingie. I love how the nurses are very nice and sweet. Although they placed a needle I made a disclaimer how hard the would be able to insert it. I've had it with Medical City. They tried alot of times on my left and right hand. Probably 4-5 times. Good thing here, it's only twice. So Thank God!

Anyhoo, I can finally rest without thinking of anything as of the moment but I was excited of the hospital food. even though I dont have any appetite.

I had beef kaldereta with olives which sure made a twist on your usual Kaldereta. Some buttered potatoes and carrots and sotanghom soup and mango for Lunch which I already ate around 5:30pm.

Now on my left, I have roasted chicken, bean sprouts in butter, some wierd looking soup and a slice of cake.


But I think im craving for ice cream and pizza. =))

Gotta go for now.

Sambo Kojin

I have been going to one place to another and I am having a stressful week. I am really looking forward to lunching at Sambo Kojin with the Management. Although I am pretty sure I can't eat that much since I haven't conditioned myself. I really don't eat in the morning because I wake up in the afternoon most of the times. work starts in the afternoon and I eat my lunch in the office. Last night even, we tried to deprive ourselves from eating to prepare for today's treat. Unfortunately that didn't happen as we went to the wake of Anne's grandma we were fed like there is no tomorrow.

I got up around 10am and the meet up time is 11am. Rushing to Eastwood made me real thirsty and that's how it started wrong. I drank alot of water and Eya told me not too. I lack sleep, dehydrated and too excited for this day.Anyhoo when I got there they were already grilling and enjoying.

I totally love their quick service! 10/10! When I got there, they were quick placing a glass of water where I sat. Then every time that we finish off a plate they quickly remove it.

The buffet area. It is a bit small but ALOT of choices. I was not able to take pictures of the buffet table because I was so busy talking and eating.They are really organized and they make sure that there are no empty plates on the buffet table. Meaning the tempura plate is alwaysavailable.

Speaking of tempura, this is what I had on my first plate. Although I was hoping that this would turn out crunchy it was not. But I still love it!

The Sukiyaki! I asked the waiter for a bowl of this uber delicious bursting with flavors japanese dish. I love how the meat is so tender and not salty at all.

Next, the variety of Makis! I was not able to take note of the names but every single one of them are yum yum yum!!!! You can tell how I enjoyed this because everything is super yummy! My love for japanese food made me feel full instantly. This was my second plate and I feel very very full.

Eya's selection. We pretty much got the same and the one with the whip cream and cherry on top is absolutely heaven. Everything is very beautiful to see and eat.

Time to Grill! (L-R) Sambo Kojin marinated beef, Beef wrapped in mushroom, Bacon wrapped in squid, Bacon strips, and Beef strips.

Eya had salmon, sambo kojin beef, kani, bacon wrapped asparagus and mushroom sprouts.

6 types of sauces (sorry for the blur)

Now we grill it.

Chocolate. Now what did we do with it? Another crazy idea.

I grilled beef and bacon strips and drizzled chocolate syrup. Weird but Yummy. The fight between sweet and salty.

T's  Vanilla ice cream with chocolate sauce.

Sea Urchin. Tasted like the sea. =\

The rest of the chocolate which I tried to eat. HA! sugar overload!

Blueberry Cheesecake. AWE... some.

This is how I ended my meal. Strawberry and Chocolate icecream with marshmallow and chocolate syrup.

GREAT Food. Great Service. 8 people. AWESOMENESS!

Makes me wanna do this again. One Happy Me.

Krispy Kreme Coffee

One of the craziest thing we have done is having two krispy kreme original glazed doughnuts as buns and placing a quarter pounder burger patty in between. It felt like the most delicious burger ever!

I woke up early today (hours before my schedule) being excited with I don't know why. The weather is a bit gloomy with scattered rain showers (sounding like PAGASA today) but have cooperated with me as I travel taking the forsaken MRT which made me think if I am going to ride this every day or not. I hate the fact that they turned off the escalator and people would walk non stop which reminds me of my gradeschool / highschool years.

As I rushed for my 2pm appointment which went very very well, I headed straight to work feeling really sleepy. I want coffee and I have to pass with the coffee vendo machine, as my colleague describes as faucet water mixed with coffee. I wanted something strong which can make me stay awake through out my 9 hour shift.

Chris was going to get coffee on his break and I was thinking of the usual Starbucks and CBTL. I wish Serenitea can make me feel awake only if tea mix does make me awake. So as he goes to his usual Krispy Kreme coffee fix, I asked him if he can get me a latte.

3 Sips and instantly I am awake. I haven't even finished a quarter of the cup and I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep.

If I were to compare coffee to make you awake for a number of hours, KK really makes strong coffee! I can compare it to the Cafe Americano from Starbucks but stronger. What's good is that they have a passport which when completed, you either get half a dozen doughnuts (3 coffee orders) and mugs (6 coffee orders). Sweet deal! Since they also promote recycling and all, if it is your first time to purchase coffee from them they give you a holder/sleeve which you can use again. On your next purchase, just show them the sleeve and you automatically get 1 peso off from your drink!

Too much caffeine. Awesomeness.

Tower + Chris Evans = Saturday Love

Why you so HOT?!


On KFC's Tower Burger:

Trying to enjoy the fruits of my labor on a Saturday is really crazy. First, traffic in MLA is awful! like really really bad. Payday + Malling? Yeah, hate to break it to you but I went for it! First we went to megamall to meet up a bunch of people then went to Robinson's Galleria (because I have a feeling that there are less people in there) to watch a movie and relax a bit. Well honestly I was trying to be as far as I can from Forever21 and my favorite shoe boutiques. So as long as I am not with my new company yet , then I still have my wallet stuck in the freezer.

It was around 3:30 and we went straight to the cinema to get the schedule of Captain America. So the next show will start in half an hour and it was perfect for us to grab some food before watching.

Taking the challenge was trying to eat the whole KFC Tower. For 100php (ala cart) it is definitely worth it! EVERY SINGLE BITE. YUM!

KFC's Tower Burger

I did underestimate this. It didn't fit my mouth when I was going to take a bite.

I can't even do my usual style of eating burgers. Like flattening it before taking a bite. It didn't work.

Bun - Mayo- Lettuce - Thick Chicken Fillet- Cheese-Hash brown- Bun

I guarantee aside from the "So Good!" slogan it really makes you feel full! It was the first and last meal for the day.

On Chris Evans:


We took the tower inside while watching Captain America. I guess the ladies enjoyed this more than the men. Tommy Lee Jones lines were sarcastically funny and Chris Evans is good enough for dessert! Why?? scroll down.

Why you so hot?!

He is one of those Hollywood crushes that I have and sitting on the forth row + that HUGE screen makes me want to scream.

THIS PART!

Yes this part!!! I had goose bumps when I saw this part. Makes me want to touch him too! SHUCKS I COULD HAVE SEEN IT 3D Version! XD

Any way that is for now for the movie. It was really nice movie although I didn't expect the story ending. Makes me excited for the Avengers now. =D men and their tights. Awesome!

Good Food.Good Movie.Awesomeness.

Ohh No No - Nobu

Just this Julyish... we went to Nobu for my brother's post birthday lunch. Struggling to wake up at 9 am and head to Macapagal Ave. In Bluewave, we were able to be there just in time for lunch.

Nobu (well according to them) offers Japanese / Korean cuisine. I was all excited about grills and hot pot but once we got there there were a lot of things going in my head. And it all starts with the word "WHY". I saw that their normal price is 350.  With rather poor selection and number of dishes being offered claiming that they serve "authentic" japanese and korean dish I would rate them 5/10. For one, I'd like to praise them for their complimentary iced tea (which is not your typical tea) and their Korean Beef which I seem to remember most. The Maki on the other hand is composed of HUGE cuts which means big enough to choke with and the filling is HOTDOG . The hot pot is well, erm ok NO SHRIMP in sight. Oysters yes and some usual clams and mussels.

 

Nobu's complimentary Tea (tastes like water to me) 

 

so we had to order Iced tea (Left) You can really see the difference. 

 

Errmmm the hotdog maki, beef and veggie tempura. 

 

Most memorable korean beef. (sorry for the blur) 

 

Huge slices that doesn't fit your mouth =D It would be nice if it was bite size portions. 

 

The sea food selection. Octopus and so on. Not included on the picture are the squid and fish balls.

NOT even a shrimp and crab in sight.  =\ 

 

I was hoping for the grilling experience. =( 

 

Placing everything in the pot. 

 

Just for the heck of it.

Over all, I was really full because of the beef. The place is small and the buffet table can like hold 6 main dishes and others are just the slices of veggies and noodles.

They should get rid of the hotdog. 

But still it's food.

Sambo Kojin next week! 

The Random Food we Eat 1

Food Finds.

On those random days visiting Forever21 was exaggerating and ended up being impulsive.

Settled on what I could find in the FC.

Takoyaki. Those battered balls of squid and yeah squid.

I never knew that I can have so much fun eating this.

Bread

with Pansit Bihon. 

I know right. Weird. but Good. =D

ChuX!

It's 6 am and I am still wide awake. My boyfriend is waiting for me this afternoon however if I sleep in 3-4 hours I think I'll be awake by evening. Aside from my usual job hunt (which I have been doing this month) Don't get me wrong, I love my work right now being an Incident Control person but I think I need to move a little more. Anyhoo, I have been uploading pictures of the stuff that I dump into my stomach to feed my hungry little pets inside.

I think it was May when I bought discount coupons for MoMo and one of the things along the MoMo coupon that I bought is Chuck's Deli.

Chuck's Deli is located beside the Stone House Grill in Eastwood.  A bit expensive (well it is expensive for me) for a sandwich definitely worth a try. It costs around 280-400php for each sandwich. You can check out Munchpunch for menu listings.


Slabwich ( a massive 10 inch sandwich made of Ciabatta) is their specialty. This massive sandwich will definitely make you full for the whole day and I can't even finish a whole slab and just opted for a half slab.


*Sorry for the images. I was in a hurry to go back to the office and requested for my slabwich and float to go.

 Really nice and comfy atmosphere. Makes you feel like you are in school or something with the chalk board.

Oh yes people enjoying their sandwiches 

 

The chuck's sauce. LOVE IT! 

My not so nice shot of my to go root beer float.

AND YES... BACK TO MY TABLE which you can always see the keyboard. Like I mentioned in my previous entry, I always take my food pictorials infront of my computer lol. 

They ask you if you want fries or onion rings to go with your sandwich. Onion rings it is. They make mean onion rings. So crunchy and HUGE.

BUFFY 

What I can recommend is Slay the Buffy. They have this promo (those EAT within 5 minutes and its FREE) and eating the half slab already took me 10 minutes or more. I like to savor what I eat rather than munching and swallowing everything.    

Buffalo Spicy Chicken fillet (really thick!) with Ciabatta bread and lots of spicy sauce. 

Thick spicy awesomeness. 

Look at the Skippy bottle! haha on a work desk! Just amazing... 

Oh yum.... 

What I recommend is the Philly Cheese Steak and their Milkshakes. Try to slay the Buffy you might get a free shirt and bragging rights on their webbie.

Good Food. Awesome.
