Waton Japanese Quality Premium Organic Pork

By | What's New at Rustan's | One Comment

For the bacon lovers out there…I discovered something through my friend Lindy.  Thanks Linds for telling me about this bacon alternative.  I always see it in Rustan’s while doing my grocery but I never bothered to try it.  Other brands cost around P 500 and above per kilo and this one costs P 495.75/kilo and it is organic!  TRY IT!!  Don’t forget to add salt when you cook it for you to get the real bacon taste.

There is a new section now in Rustan’s meat section dedicated to SUPER WATON PREMIUM PORK.  I have not tried the other items yet except for the pork belly which Lindy told me about.  But I definitely will try the others..for some reason, I like Japanese products

Sorry about the photos, I just used my cellphone to take the store photos

Don Eduardo’s

By | Foodie | 5 Comments

James and I went to try out the new restaurant of my Lola which recently opened.  She named it after her husband, my Lolo Eddie. I used to live with him when I was a kid and he was my number one listener as he listened to all my corny jokes and weird stories which I invented 🙂 I miss him! So of course I made sure we went to try it and definitely will be back!!  

My dad and my brother are named after my Lolo, so there are actually 3 Eduardos in the family.

 I hope you can go and try out Don Eduardo’s.   It is located in the old Mezzalunadsc_9200.JPG

Since we were only two, we were not able to order so much.  

Pizza Con Prosciutto was really YUMMY!!!! I love thin crust pizza- see how thin it is

Choto Stop and New Hatchin

By | Finds, Yummy! | 13 Comments

Hmmm… it seems like Japan is a favorite destination this year…. so for those who are craving for Japanese food or something Japanese, check this out! Of course nothing will be the same as being actually in Japan and the assortment they have there…

Since Coop closed down ( Sango and Coop March 1, 2007 ), I have been waiting for them to relocate.  Thanks to Kai for telling me about Choto Stop which is in Japan Town near one of our favorite restaurants, Kikufuji (Kikufuji November 11, 2008). Sorry for the unclear photos, I was hiding from the Japanese owner who might stop me from taking photos 🙂  It is much bigger than the old COOP and seems to have more things

Located at 2277 Chino Roces Ave., San Lorenzo Village, Makati 

 

And another one which my cousin, Ana, told me about.  It is located between Metropolitan st. and Sacred heart st. behind the Makati Post Office and near Sacred Heart church. I went only once and was not able to take photos.  But it is a very decent, clean and nice mini japanese grocery. They even have a meat section

Mariza, Nic, Mig and Iya

By | Beauty, Fashion, Photography | 8 Comments

I am so thrilled every time someone asks me to take photos of them…though I am not a professional photographer, I act as if I am 🙂  and I say yes!  I took photos of 3 young adults to help them out with their set cards.   Of course I cannot say no to them and of course I want to help them.  I am not a stylist nor a designer nor a photographer with special equipment so these are all fun shots and who knows if one of them become famous… I will be the one to claim fame that I took their photos when they were just dreaming of becoming a star 🙂

These are two year old photos except for the ones of Mariza which were just very recent.

She did not ask me to take her photo, I was the one who asked her to join us in the shoot -but of course she is the one who comes out all the time in magazines
