Starbucks

>> Thursday, October 29, 2009

Thanks to my son's love of photography or his love of tinkering with the camera I have something to post for Food Friday and Food Trip Friday *grins*.

We had these a few days ago when we went out to search for a cool Halloween outfit, we didn't find any but we enjoyed our time out together. My bro insisted on meeting us in the mall so instead of wandering around drooling over stuff, we decided to rest and chill in Starbucks. The tallest one was for hubby, it is a mocha latte (I think), the one in the middle was for our baby, it's just your usual hot choco, and the smallest one was mine, cappuccino baby.

small, medium, large *grins*

The family that have coffee together, stays together *lol*.

GoNuts Donuts

>> Saturday, October 24, 2009

Box of 6 (Choco Nutty Sprinkle, Rocky Road and Choco Frost)


This is what we brought home for nanay and tatay when we (hubby, son, bro and I) went to mall to buy some groceries and play in Timezone and WOF, I miss that piso-game, the one where you drop a 1-peso coin and hope that luck will help you win, I love playing that because I can have lots and lots of redeemable tickets in a jiffy, though it doesn't work like that most of the time *grins*.

Doughnuts is always a safe choice for pasalubong, my nanay might not have a sweet tooth but she enjoys a bite or two of pastries and doughnuts and my tatay is a food lover in its truest sense, having served as a chief cook in a cargo ship his entire career might have a hand at that, he eats all kinds of food, walang tinatapon ika nga.

Pinoy Street Food: Lumpiang Sariwa

Lumpiang Sariwa - P25.00


One of the newest addition in a long list of Pinoy street foods is the lumpiang sariwa, it used to be found on restaurants and eateries around the country, as well as one of the most favorable dish in an event or celebratory party. But now, one does not need to go to long lengths to have a taste of lumpiang sariwa as it is now served by our local street peddlers. For 25pesos a pack (2 pieces of lumpia) it is a great deal, it may not taste as good as the one in restos or the ones made by our moms and grannies but if your craving heats up, it can help douse off the craving at least a little.

Red Ribbon's Cookies & Cream Cake

>> Friday, October 23, 2009

Red Ribbon Bakeshop
MC Square
Letre Road, Malabon City


Cookies and Cream (junior-size) - P355.00

a closer look


I asked hubby to buy the White Forest cake but when he got home, this was what he had in hand, White Forest seemed to be the trend that day as the branch in MC lost stock early. I will get my hand on that cake one of these days, but till then, let's focus on the Cookies and Cream. As expected, it was good, I, actually liked it better than S'mores.

Pepsi Max

>> Tuesday, October 20, 2009

Have you seen the new PET bottle of Pepsi Max, if you already did and have known that it is in existence good for you, coz you see, I just discovered it. And I find the bottle so cute that's why I decided to post it here.

I, actually, bought this in a recent trip to Enchanted Kingdom for 45pesos, I don't know how much it sells outside of the amusement park but I bet, it's much cheaper :)) Alam nyo na, mala-ginto kasi ang pricing sa mga ganung lugar dba?

Meatlover's Pizza from Pizza Hut

>> Thursday, October 15, 2009

Pizza Hut's Meatlovers Pizza


Another free pizza, this time from my tatay. My son is on a roll, he aced another 2 quizzes last Monday thus two boxes of pizzas were ordered from Pizza Hut courtesy of his grandfather *grins*.

Story: When he got home from school last Monday, he immediately called tatay and nanay to tell them the good news, I thought my son was just happy and proud of himself. Less than half an hour later, our phone rang with my tatay on the other line asking (actually, he's telling) me to bring our butts back in Navotas as he already ordered the pizza that he promised my son. I didn't asked for details as in my heart, I know it already - after he hoodwinked his uncle into buying him a pizza last week (click to read the story), it was his lolo's turn to do so. Come to think of it, it's a good thing my son's playing this game with them and not with me, less expenses the better in my case *lol*.

Halo-Halo - P15.00

Note: I tried to be a little artistic in taking this photo, I don't know about artistry, as all I can see is a slanted shot of a halo-halo cup *lol*. Oh well, just bend to your left a little to get a better glimpse, you can do that can you, bear with me just this one time please *grins*.

A halo-halo from our neighbor's list of merienda line. The end.

Pizza Hut's Bacon & Pepperoni

>> Sunday, October 11, 2009

Bacon & Pepperoni


Don't we all love a free pizza? I didn't know and I just found out last Friday that my son made a deal with my younger brother the last weekend that we were at my nanay's house, hmm... curious yet? The deal is quite easy, it's just so funny because my son was the one who initiated the whole deal, pwede na pakawalan sa mundo. He told his uncle that if he gets a perfect score in his quiz last Monday, his uncle will buy him a whole pan pizza from Pizza Hut, and wouldn't you know it, he nailed his Science quiz.

We go to my nanay's house every weekends, sometimes if there's really nothing in our schedule, we go there as early as Friday afternoon (we leave hubby home to look after our house *lol*) and I was surprised to see my brother with two boxes of family-size pan pizza when he went home and it wasn't sweldo yet, then, it was explained to me and my surprise turned into amazement, and then happiness - free pizza!

I Want Pearls for my Birthday

>> Friday, October 9, 2009

I am gonna celebrate my birthday this month and I have been bugging my hubby for a generous gift. In truth, I have been wanting a pair of pearl earrings ever since I lost my one and only pair a year ago but as business and our finances is not technically soaring, I have been putting off the task to look and, hopefully, to buy one. My desire to have a pair of pearl earrings peaked once again when hubby asked me a few weeks ago about the gift that I want on my special day, from then on, every time I get the chance to search around in the internet, I search for some pretty and budget-friendly pearl earrings, I was hoping to get my most wanted present without drilling a huge hole on hubby's pocket. Well, I am in luck, as I had found Orient Pearl, an online store that has a big line of pearl jewelry in easy to handle prices, the website boast of being the true freshwater pearls wholesaler in the internet and after seeing their list of pearl jewelries I can't help but believe them.

Wanna see my pick? I already showed it to hubby and he kinda like it, too, he doesn't give any confirmation yet but I'm sure that it's in the basket already *grins*. What do you think? Ain't it a pretty little thing?

Leche Flan

Leche Flan - P70.00


If I am curse to eat only one dessert in my lifetime, this would be one of my choices, I haven't actually thought about the whole scenario so I am picking my top 10 desserts first before I make a decision *lol*.

Hubby bought this leche flan from someone he knows and for 70pesos, I think it is more than worthy, but I can still say that my version of leche flan is still better *grins*, buhatin ba ang sariling bangko, hahaha?

Cadbury Old Gold Dark Chocolates

Cadbury Old Gold Dark Chocolate (150g)


Another attempt to bring out my hidden or buried love or even a hint of likeness of dark chocolates, this time I tried Cadbury. One thing - this one is bitter than Hershey's, just when I thought I had the most bitter of them all *lol*. Hubby loves dark chocolates (that's why he's dark, bwahahaha) but I can't just get that yummy taste that he so likes, maybe on my next try... hmmm... any suggestion?

YUMPANADA
(stall) 1/F MC Square
Letre Rd., Malabon City


Empanadas from left to right: Beef Adobo, Tuna, Ham & Cheese, Chunky Chicken

Regular Empanadas - P15.00 to 20.00 a piece
(the one open in half is the beef adobo)

Empananditas (small empanadas) - P5.00 a piece
(it also comes with various fillings like the regular-sized ones)
lima na lang kasi di makapagpigil yung isang taong kilala ko, hahaha

Yumpanada Box

One of my hubby's favorite take home goody (kasi mahilig sya sa empanada at di mabigat sa bulsa ang presyo *grins*), my son and I are not fond of empanadas but if it's the only choice in front of us, we'll surely grab some *lol*. As far as my son is concern, only ham & cheese is trusted, while I, on the other hand, can take a bite of each but I never really found my favorite, but my hubby is a different case, he can eat boxes after boxes of these goodies without getting tired of its taste, as in di sya nauumay promise *grins*.

Foodies Wanted

>> Saturday, October 3, 2009


I have done it, I'm finished! After hours of manual labor in front of the computer, I think I had enough, I think I had done what I aim to do, it may not be as perfect as I wish it would be, but I love its imperfections and as I made it with my own bare fingers (pwera ang paggawa ng html ng template, nakuha ko lang sa yan sa tabi-tabi, hahaha), I am proud of it.

Now, there's only one thing missing - a Link List - and I am soliciting names and links of my fellow foodies who wants to be included in my list. No reciprocal link is necessary, as long as you have a food blog and I like it *grins*. Just leave the Blog Title and corresponding url at the comment section of this post and you're a step closer to that elite list *lol*.

So what are you waiting for - comment na!

Pepperoni, Garlic and Cheese and Barbecue-flavored Pizzas - P35.00/each

GoNuts pizza box

My nephew had a school field trip a few weeks ago and his mom send us a box of these goodies, I think they visited a GoNuts Donuts bakeshop somewhere in Paranaque or Sta. Rosa, Laguna and instead of the time-tested buco pie, Maggie opted to have doughnuts and pizzas as take home.

I have known about the pizza-line of GoNuts for more than a year already but I just had gotten to try it when they sent us a box, it was okay, I love the BBQ variety but I don't think I'll buy another box in the near future. It costs 35pesos a piece, if you multiply it by 6 (per box), it is already 210, just add a little more and you can avail a double-size pan pizza from Pizza Hut or any other pizza chain. If you're gonna buy it per piece just to satisfy a pizza craving, I guess it is alright but more than that, I'll stick with their doughnuts. Just my one cent...

About Me

I am a wife to the sweetest person on Earth and a mother to the cutest baby boy in the planet. I love reading literary books but I have an addiction in contemporary/renaissance romance novels. I am a video game aficionado in the truest sense of the word. I love to travel the world, if and only given the opportunity. I don't know how to cook (but I'm slowly learning) so there's a fascination with take-outs and dine-ins. I could go on and on but I guess you had enough *lol*.
