La Cocina de Tia Moning

By | Foodie | 3 Comments
FINALLY!!! I have been wanting to experience Suzette Legarda Montinola’s place. We are 7 years late in coming to La Cocina de Tia Moning since it opened in 2000. It was a very nice and intimate experience. The food was very good and we were all stuffed since we had the tasting menu. Suzette recommended it as it had their most popular dishes. I started taking photos of the food and then totally forgot to take the other dishes ( the famous lengua in white wine ) since I was too busy eating 🙂 I was most especially happy to see my friend ( who I never see ) from Ateneo college who is by the way still SINGLE!!! 🙂 For more information and to see more photos, visit their website: http://www.lacocinadetitamoning.com

Shopwise Sucat

By | Events and Launches, What's new at Shopwise? | No Comments

Shopwise opened it’s 7th branch today at Sucat, Paranaque. This for me is one of the best Shopwise stores I have been to and I particularly like the facade of the building as it reminds me of the first Rustan’s department store in Makati. I did some shopping and all the store staff were friendly and gave excellent service. Some of my best buys were Buy 1 Take 1 China Ya pears ( 6’s X 2 ) for only P 59.95 and China Fuji apples ( 6’s X 2 ) for only P 54.00. I wish I had more time as it was getting late, so I guess I will just have to go back for more. Congratulations to my cousins Donnie and Crickette for another successful venture. MORE POWER!

Sango and Coop

By | Foodie | One Comment

wrote on May 26, ’07

For the past 2 Saturdays we have been going back to Sango because we discovered the Master burger. It is so good. I like the chili sauce like/spaghetti sauce that they put and the chopped onions. They have it also as a Master Cheeseburger then I added bacon! Deadly but yummy! I also liked the ice cream which is a sorbet like ice cream- not as heavy as the creamy ice cream but light and refreshing. Next time I will try the version that comes with cornflakes and blueberry sauce. And COOP is now EVERYTHING P 68.00 and not P 75.00 anymore.

Do you get that feeling when you arrive from a trip and you have that craving to look for similar items that you just had in that country? Well, we just arrived from Japan and I had that craving so I went to check out these 2 places which i heard about from friends and family.  We were frustrated that Mos Burger in Japan had only 2 kinds of rice burgers and we did not like any of the choices.  Here in Manila, there is Mc Donald’s and there is Sango.  And  of course who do I bump into, my brother in law Mike, who told us about the place.  It’s one of his favorites.

Sango also had only 2 kinds of rice burgers but I asked them if i could make my own and they said yes for an additional P 40.00.  So I guess you can order any burger that they have and change it to a rice burger or make your own concoction.  So i ordered a chicken rice burger and french fries. Delicious.  Right beside it is a small grocery store called Coop where they have all kinds of Japanese products.  Everything in the store is P 75.00.  Amazing selection.  They even have frozen products like ice cream flown in 2 times a week from Japan. They have an amazing selection of this boxed curry item which is around P 140+ in supermarkets and it costs only P 75.00 in this store. They only accept cash though.

The Best Mc Do ever!

By | Great Achievements, Travel | No Comments
This has got to be the BEST Mc Do I have EVER been to in the whole world. During our trip to Bacolod, we went to Mc Donalds 3 to 4 times a day in the 3 days that we were there. Tito Butch manages this Mc Donald’s and aside from managing it, he has a collection of Happy Meal toys displayed inside. AMAZING! Around 5,000 pcs. coming from all over the world – USA, Japan, HK, Australia, France, UK and other European nations. This Mc Do is around 800 sq. meters and is complete with the playground and has a Mc Cafe in front. The inside is very different from all the other Mc Donalds i have been to as Tito Butch is very involved in everything that happens here. It is so clean. No miss, whenever we visited the store, there is always someone mopping the floor, cleaning the windows, or just cleaning something. It must run in the family because my dad is very picky with cleanliness when it came to running Rustan’s supermarket and now in Starbucks. For all these reasons, no wonder my Tito and this store has had numerous awards from Mc Donalds headquarters. CONGRATS!!!!!

Better For You

By | What's New at Starbucks? | No Comments

115564773503_0_bg.jpg

Two yummy and healthy loaves were recently introduced at Starbucks- Reduced Fat Blueberry Walnut loaf and Orange Pineapple loaf. 

These loaves are considered to be better for you because their fat content was reduced and the fat that was used in the recipe contains no transfat. Yet, they taste so good!
Starbucks Moves to Ban Trans Fats cutting trans fats from the doughnuts, muffins and other treats, and plans to eventually drop the artery-clogging fats.
Trans fats, listed on food labels as partially hydrogenated vegetable oil, are believed to be harmful because they wreak havoc on cholesterol levels.

Check out this great Dashing Diva product.  Don’t Bite!  The perfect nail bitting remedy. This bitter, Vitamin E enriched polish not only helps you stop that nasty habit, but reinforces your nail structure allowing normal growth.
I did not know how to solve Javier’s nail biting problem and we discovered this and it really works!!! No need to put eeky tabasco.  It costs only around P200.00 + versus US$ 7.00 in the States. So, it is even cheaper here. Available at Dashing Diva – Beauty Bar in Powerplant or Glorietta.

I Love Cheeseballs!

By | What's New at Rustan's, Yummy! | No Comments

evons.jpg

Since Planter’ s and Evon’s cheeseballs disappeared in the market – I have not eaten chesseballs! It is so hard to find good cheeseballs.

A few days ago, I stumbled into this brand and I bought it and tried it.  I liked it and thought it was the closest to Evon’s.

Apparently, when I did my research- looked at the label- went to the website- it is the same company that makes the brand Evon’s.  They probably just changed the packaging.  It is available in Landmark for P 78.40. Evon’s used to cost P 65.00 in Rustan’s.  There was only one can though when i bought.  It was beside a Munch King cheeseballs which is not good.
