Pinoy Street Food: Binatog

ang magbibinatog kasama ang kanyang laging-maaasahang bisekleta at batingting

ang balde ng binatog (na never kong nakita na puno lagi lang half-filled or less)

ang binatog (white corn kernels with grated coconut)

ang binatog na nahaluan na ng asukal (kapag bumili ka ng binatog, itatanong ni manong tindero kung lalagyan nya ba ng asin, kung di kayo mahilig sa matamis pwede nyo ng palagyan ng asin pero kung plano nyo lagyan ng asukal, I suggest, you oppose the salt right away, hehe)

Ito ang meryenda ko kahapon, habang niluluray ni bagyong Ondoy ang Metro Manila at ang mga karatig probinsya nito. Sandaling huminto ang ulan kahapon kaya nakagala pa ang tindero ng binatog at sa background ng unang larawan, makikita nyo na medyo nakalaya din ang mga bata, pansamantala, sa aking tantya mga 5 minutes lang, hahaha. Ito rin ang napili ko isali na post sa Yummy Sunday dahil may hiling ang host ng meme na ito na paboritong pagkain daw ang ilahok ngayong linggo.

At kung nagtataka kayo kung bakit Tagalog (Filipino) ang lenggwaheng gamit ko, madali lang po ang sagot - di ko kasi alam kung ano ang binatog sa Ingles (English).

Nga pala, kakabasa ko lang, mayroong give-away promo sa Perfectly Blended (ang bagong bahay ng Yummy Sunday), mamimigay sya ng berdeng balabal (shawl) sa maswerteng kalahok sa Yummy Sunday ngayong linggo. Kung kayo ay interesado, maaari po lamang bumisita sa nasabing blog para sa detalye.

Frostings

Frostings Cupcakes
(top to bottom, left: Carrot Cake, Mocha, Blueberry;
top to bottom, right: Belgian Chocolate, Tiramisu, Red Velvet)

My first box of Frostings Cupcakes was posted a few days ago and now I'm up for my second, still a treat from my bro, don't you just love to have a brother (who has a monthly source of income) who loves to eat the same kinds of foods just like you do? I'm pretty lucky, eh. Anyway, if I was all praise with the first one, the second one is different - I think this batch was not freshly-baked as they claim in their website, and you can confirm that just by looking at the pic. Red Velvet is the star of this group, Tiramisu and Mocha seemed to taste the same and I don't like their Carrot Cake and Blueberry flavors, good thing, Belgian Chocolate was present *grins*.

I have some cupcake varieties in mind for my third box *grins*.

Hershey's Dark Chocolate

Hershey's Chocolate Special Dark

I've been a white chocolate lover since birth, I ventured out to milk chocolate + nougat and milk chocolate + caramel as I go along but my love of white chocolate never seizes. I have known about dark chocolates and it's good nutritional facts but it just can't fit in to my preferred taste, but harsh times need drastic actions - I ran out of chocolates, imagine that, and all that's left were a few big bars of the dark kinds and I was so craving for something cacao-made... so, I just did what was supposed to be done *grins*.

One of those take home goodies from my brother, and I must say all these cupcakes are to die for but, of course, I still have a favorite - in this batch it is Sansrival.

Jollibee

Jolly Crispy Fries (extra large) w/ Cheezy Cheese dip

Mango-Caramel Ice Craze topped w/ vanilla ice cream

My son attended a birthday party in Jollibee together with his cousins a few days ago and we (hubby and I) were voted to be the adults to go with them. We brought them to the party venue and decided on going around the mall until it wraps up but when we came back to fetch them, the party was still ongoing, so we ordered some fries, ice craze and soda to nibble on while we wait.

Sorry, I can't remember the price and I can't find the receipt, either.

Tapsilog

I have been away for a while, I am sorry for leaving without saying anything but you know me, when I need to go, I go and I know that you love me more because of that *lol*. But, I am back! And hopefully... this is for keeps or at least for a longer period of time *lol*.

Anyway, above was our dinner a few weeks ago, on our way home (from Nanay's house) we decided to pass by McDolphy's and buy some goodies for dinner. McDolphy's is one of those hole-in-the-wall tapsilugan in Navotas but it is one of the best if not the best one in the field of xxxsilog dining.

I kinda forgot how much the cost of each order but I swear it does fit everyone's budget :)
