Great Times with Yellow Cab!




Yellow Cab has recently become one of my lunch spots. I just love anything: pizza (the new Mrs. Hudson's Pizza, Dear Darla, New York's Finest), pasta (Charlie Chan for the win!) and chicken (Garlic Parmesan Chicken is still my favorite!)

Here are the mechanics of the promo:

1. The promo is open to all Yellow Cab Facebook Fans ages 18 years old and above, and residents of the Republic of the Philippines.

Home Cooking 101: Banana Chocolate Chip Loaf



Banana is one fruit that you can always find in our home's pantry. My mom makes sure that we have a new batch every week. Aside from helping with digestion, bananas are quite handy for baon (Banana-Nutella sandwich for me) or midnight snacking (still with Nutella). The only downside of banana is that it rots quickly, so we buy boxes of Maya Banana Cake Oven Toaster Mix so no banana will ever go to waste. :)


You just need an oven toaster to create this recipe, but you may also use a conventional oven if you have one at home. I also found a pack of chocolate chips in the fridge so I thought of adding this to the recipe. My sister got the chocolate chips in the grocery for around Php 80 for a huge pack.

Relik Tapas Bar and Lounge



After trying out URBN Bar & Kitchen and Shawarma Guys, I got more intrigued about Chef Benjo Tuason's first 'baby', Relik Tapas Bar and Lounge. Glad I was invited to finally give Relik a visit to try the old favorites and the new dishes on their menu.

It was a huge advantage that I read Spanky's instructions before I headed out to the place. It was hidden at the second floor of the building, quite invisible from the street.

The interiors are, if I were correct, very 1950s. It was as if mobs would meet here anytime. For game geeks, imagine Mafia Wars.

Cocina Filipina Featuring Chef Bruce Lim at Corniche, Diamond Hotel




I was again invited by Diamond Hotel last night for Cocina Filipina: A Philippine Food Festival at Corniche, featuring local dishes created by Chef Bruce Lim of Chef's Lab.



Chef Bruce Lim did some unique twists on our favorite Filipino dishes, and I got to try some (if not all) of them. :)

Here are the featured dishes at Cocina Filipina:

The Cold Station has Chilled Roasted Beet soup with seared scallops and mangoes and Lumpiang Sariwa & Soy garlic Gelee.

The Chilled Roasted Beet Soup is something new to me while Lumpiang Sariwa is an old favorite.

Isang Jollibee Meal: Eleksyon 2013


Note: I will be writing in Filipino for this post as I feel that this is more appropriate to the topic.


Sakripisyo.

Yan ang sabi ng nanay at tatay ko habang nakapila kami kanina para bumoto. Oo nga naman. Ang aga namin dumating sa presinto, mga bago mag 7:30 ng umaga. Higit isang oras na kaming nakatayo at nakababad sa araw pero hindi pa gumagalaw ang pila.

Nakakainis na.



Bilang botante at nagbabayad ng buwis, hindi ko maintindihan bakit ganito pa rin ang sistema. Sa laki ng awas sa sweldo ko para mapunta sa buwis, napakabagal ng ganitong kalakaran.



At mas nakakainis pa yung mga taong dumadaan sa harap ko na hindi man lang nakikiraan. May isang babae  nagrason pa, "HINDI NAMAN AKO SISINGIT EH!". Hindi ka nga sisingit, pero hindi ka pwedeng magsabi ng 'excuse me'?
