GIMIKAINAN SESSIONS 4: Abella's Residence in Binangonan Rizal

          My family loves grilled dishes.

We started grilling when were very little. My dad would build an improvised griller in Libya and we’d all take a stick and grill any meat that my mom prepared. And it went on until my dad got a really nice job and we bought our very own big grilling equipment. When we went here in the Philippines it’s not really advisable especially when you live in a condo to have a charcoal grilled meat. Not unless you have your own house and a yard to do the grilling. So my mom and dad bought a house in Binangonan, Rizal, and it’s a beautiful house.

The griller that we have right now is actually just a cheap one. We had to buy a cheap one because we were hosting a party one day that we really didn’t have any time to buy the really expensive one the one that works on gas. But we were lucky to buy this one because it’s been ok for the past 6 months. I, together with my best friend Jessica bought this for P3000.00++ in SM MOA and I just want to share a brief story about it. When I saw this griller, I figured it could be disassembled and if we buy it, it wouldn’t be hard to carry it and load it in a trunk. Unfortunately, we thought wrong, it can’t be disassembled and you have to carry the whole thing. You know how MOA is. It’s big and the taxi bay is way too far from the department store. We walked a long way and trying hard to take care of the griller since it’s cheap and it might break easily. I was sweating really bad, kept on complaining why I bought such a thing. But eventually we took a cab, wrap the whole thing with an improvised rope. An etc. it was really bad. Yeah that’s the story of our mighty griller. Hahaha!

So what do we have?

my sister jheii and my dearest brother posing for the camera and enjoying his doritos chips and C2.. no alcohol...

 My dad and my sisters - Rosalie , Liit and Jheii

Made some Tacos - Mom's Request..- basically I just grilled/toasted the taco shells, then filling; ground pork, ranch dressing, onion and ice berg lettuce, bell pepper grilled, tomatoes grilled and cheese. Actually we just used the ones that were available in the house. But you can use ground beef, the for the dressing you can mix cream cheese with dried herbs then sour cream. I grilled the bell peppers because I like the smokey flavor and so as with the tomatoes. 

 So on the grill - we have Hotdogs, Chicken and pork. Usually we do our own version of marinating sauce but since we have those leftovers from last week that we bought at supermarkets. We just finish them off. Maybe next time I can share some ingredients on how we do our marinating sauce.

 The skewered bbq costs P30.00++ each stick in the meat section in your nearest supermarkets. It's actually pork. They also have chicken so you can try that. 

 Tender Juicy hot dogs. We usually buy the Jumbo sized ones. Its bigger and it takes forever to finish. HAHA!

 We actually wanted the inasal flavored ones. but since we saw that there were a lot of garlic cloves in it, we just chose the bbq flavor ones which costs P55.00 each leg part. Its actually affordable since it's really huge. 

 My dad doing his thing with those deliciousness... hahaha!

GIMIKAINAN SESSION 2 : Joey's 4xForce Grill and Restaurant

Old school drinking sessions


Went to look for old photos of my me and my friends having a gimikainan sessions. and fortunately i have here some of it...
So i believe this was on a weekday. It was my sem break and my best friend's no work mode. And so one of her suitors (guess who it is on the following pictures).. invited us to drink out and just chilax bond and etc. so we did. 

they came to pick me up and drove over to san juan. there was this tiny and simple place. called Joey's 4xForce Grill and Restaurant. They had a python in that bar. Well they say it's a lucky charm for the bar's owner. That's why they have that.
the place was open, there were a few roofs to protect customers from storm and rain.Setup - the regular tissues and ash trays. No condiments though. Steel chairs and glass tables, it's similar to garden tables and chairs in yellow. There two sides that's how i describe it on where we're seated. The other side had wooden chairs and tables. They also had a big garage where obviously it's a resto bar that began fixing old cars and trucks. and made a bar out of it. There were 3 monitors to keep the customers peeking from time to time. usual customers who goes there are car lovers. racers and any engine running knowledgeable people. 


Copied from their Multiply site:
"Owner Joey Millonado has been into car restoration since 1985. He has joined numerous car shows and always brings home more than two (2) major awards. He is also into buying, restoring, and selling of off-road trucks. In 2006, he incorporated the carwash and the 24 hour grill & restaurant with his Off-Road Truck Services. Hence, the birth of JOEY'S 4XFORCE Grill and Restaurant."


So why did I feature this Bar? It's because of their HUGE SERVING! and again.. i'm a big fan of HUGE SERVINGS. Its actually a proof that I will spend money in the right spendings. Well even though I was not the one who spent for this Gimik. HAHA!

 Sizzling Pork Sisig - P200.00 - The sisig was about 400 - 500g of meat. It was a lot. Usually in some bars they serve their sizzling plates in the regular serving which is 200g per plate. But this one was different. it was huge! HEAVY. Their sisig was hot and sizzling. very delicious. i'm a sisig lover. you can ask any of my friends and family. dry or not. I love sisig. It is one of my guilty pleasures in life. 

my bestfriend Jen with jefri and steve

 Nachos P350.00 - Nachos Chips, ground beef, tomatoes, onions, jalapenos and of course cheese. Who wouldn't want that? It is one BIG/MASSIVE servings of  nachos. I know it's kinda small in the picture. But it is huge I tell you. well apart from the Nachos that TGIFridays serve. but this one is way cheaper.

Well with those few "pulutan" we ordered three buckets of RED HORSE. and afterwards some of them became tipsy. hahaha! which i totally enjoyed watching.

 This is them after getting tipsy. trying to enjoy the coffee aroma of starbucks

That's pretty much it.. until the next Gimikainan Session...xoxo

Eat Happy Everyone!
