Foodie Address Book

One of the perks of being a food blogger is that you have a sort of license to eat out as much as you can, of course time, health and money are all put into consideration, too *grins*. But as a blogger, I kinda have the power to decide on where and what to eat whenever we go out, it's true that I don't hold as much power as my son but at least I'm second in command and these past few months, my son's appetite and taste has been expanding, he's now in a stage where he tends to try out stuff including new and used-to-be-taboo food on his list, so, yeah, life's easy these days.

As a food blogger, I tried to be as adventurous and as up-to-date in terms of new places to dine in and new dishes and offerings on various restaurants' menus, but sometimes, though I make it a point to sample something different each time I go out or order take outs with my family, there are just days that I crave for food that I already had or recently tasted. Its during those times that I really wish for restaurant business cards on dining establishments, simple but oh-so-worthy pieces of paper that can come in handy whenever I or any member of my family crave for something to munch on or gobble up. Imagine having a stack of restaurant business cards and making an address book out of it, I bet it would be a foodie's delight.

Do all foodies think alike?

Milo

Wala lang! I just find this cute that's why I'm posting it *grins*.

We usually buy powdered drinks like Milo in one-kilo packages as canisters are a-plenty in our house but seeing this one months ago made me grab it. It cost more than our usual buy but as you can see, it says 'limited edition' so that's a plus factor for me, not that it can be use as anything else than a canister. But... okay, okay, it's called justification of one's random act *grins*.

Greenwich Brazo de Mercedes

Once upon a time, Brazo de Mercedes by Greenwich was new and undiscovered yet, but that was ages ago, I was so late in blogging about it, I guess now, it's just part of the normal Greenwich menu, downside of being old and lazy *grins*.





We bought this in a nearby mall months ago, we were on our way home when I spotted this delight in the branch's chiller display and as I am sucker for cakes and new products, I bought a piece for take home, we already had dinner in another fast food so dining in was out of the question. It cost 99php, it tasted good, it's even better than that of Goldilocks *grins*, but I don't think buying one as a dessert in a regular sched is practical, one can already have a full meal with that amount someplace else, right?

But if you're a sweet junkie and money is not a problem, I suggest you try one if you haven't already, as I've said, this pic has been in my possession months ago, so the possibility of people not knowing it is little to none.

Little Shepherd's Lengua de Gato

I'm trying to make up for the lost time, or something to that effect *grins*, that's why I'm posting at least once a day, I could try doubling it, but then I'll loose all my stock materials in a jiffy, and it's not a good thing in my book *lol*.

The lengua de gato (picture below) was given by my sister-in-law when they went for a three-day vacation in the summer capital three months ago, aside from that, we also got some strawberry jam, honey, fresh veggies and an assortment of knitted stuff (read: bonnets, cardigans, etc.). Unfortunately, I didn't like the taste of this particular brand, I love lengua de gato in general but this brand just didn't fit in my taste. But beggars can't be choosers, `ayt?
