By | Foodie | One Comment

Brunch with the girlfriends 🙂  Thanks to Alexie for bringing us to her friend’s place, Teddy’s Bigger Burgers!  They are the same ones bringing in Wolfgang Steakhouse which will be sometime in January next year
Teddy's Bigger Burgers (2)I was there before it opened 🙂  I requested for brunch and I think it was a good idea because people were already starting to come in and when 12 noon came, the lines were long

And because it’s called Bigger Burgers – I made sure we ordered the biggest burger they had!! I told Alexie that we should just share it amongst us and it was just rightTeddy's Bigger Burgers (16)18 oz. BIGGEST Double Monster Burger with special toppings Kailua which is their best seller.  My friend, JJ Yulo, recommends it Medium rare!  I agree! Or maybe Medium.  They say to put peanut butter to give it a different twist, but I did not know if we should have risked it for a big burger so we will be back to try it!!  Teddy's Bigger Burgers (21)We ask them to split this into three but they were only able to half it – so we just split the two halves for a third portionTeddy's Bigger Burgers (24)Bestselling side is Tater tots so we ordered itTeddy's Bigger Burgers (23)Onion ringsTeddy's Bigger Burgers (22)Coffee Shake which is 90% ice cream so you can imagine how thick it is

Nespresso cups, Toilet Paper rolls, Magazines and Pull rings

By | Giving Back, Green | No Comments

I am a sucker for recycling things!  I feel bad seeing things go to waste.  I am sharing this in case you still don’t have a venue to send your old magazines, nespresso cups or pull rings.  I met a nice lady who helps many NGOs and foundations – Philippine Community Fund ( PCF ), Invisible Sisters, Kaibiga, etc – by simply giving them these items.  Many of you have magazines and maybe drink soda and for those with restaurants , you might want to collect the pull rings.  Please contact Nena Ortoll at +63 918 918 5099

Please send the pull rings in this manner so it is already organized and clean

Tita Nena has her staff make these holders using the foils of snack bags – clover chips, chippy etc.  She gives them as gifts to friends abroad
