It's My Ninang's Birthday!!!

Chocolate Cake P286.00 - was ordered from Goldilocks, lucky for us it was freshly baked, moist in the inside, chocolaty and it's so delicious. *sigh*

It Novermber 27 and It's the best Godmother's birthday! We went to Binangonan to celebrate my Godmother or in Filipino it's Ninang's Birthday. It's a very special day for her, since her daughter, Ate Michelle is not home to celebrate it with her or us, we make sure she's never alone and make it very special for her. i love her. 
  
This is my ninang and my mother...
The bffs took a picture with my ninang's gift, a soft and yellow comforter..
 yes! there's me and my family... eating and posing for the camera...
 T-bone steaks - grilled to perfection.. peppery and tasty! 
Marinated with vinegar, sprite, salt, pepper and a little bit of Lemon Juice. 
 Grilled Porkchops - My mom marinated them, with sprite, salt and pepper, soy sauce, vinegar and kalamansi.
Grilled Chicken - same with the pork marinade. 
 
 Fruta de Crema - (I love saying that Fruta de Crema! hahahaha.. ok guys say it with me FRUTA DE CREMA!!!) if you are a gelatin addict and a lover then this is the dessert you like. in some cases this would have a sponge or a butter cake with filling, but in this case it is made of gelatin with different fruit flavors. 
Grilled Hotdogs - I learned this from my cousin, when grilling hotdogs you have to brush it with  mixed oil, ketchup, soy sauce, salt and pepper.
 Puto (Steamed Rice Cake) and Kutchinta (Brown Rice Cake) - both are steamed rice, but with Puto it's  more of a thick rice and with Kutchinta it's more refine and smooth. 

 fresh fruts, Watermelon, Melon and Pomelo
 Fruit Salad - Cream and Condensed Milk. Whole Kennel Corn and fruits. 


This is me with my Ninang's Cake heheh! YEP! 




So we spent the night bonding and share a lot of laughs and had our stomach full of course...


Eat HAPPY Everyone!!
Kwaizz miya miya!!

Pancake House

To my loyal subjects and readers.. I thank thee who not only read this blog but also share my interests in writing. (argghh.. how formal of me). Anyways!! hello again.. I know it's been a while not updating my blog but not to worry I always check on my emails and find it very honoring and amazing it is to know how all of you loves my blog. (even if it makes no sense..! haha!) 

I posted these pictures for a while now and haven't told you guys how our encounter was. So here it goes; 
Me and My sister, Jheii wanted to try out Pancake House, specially when we were craving for Pancakes for a long time. 

It was my sister's lunch break so we had to meet her in the mall.We went straight to Pancake House. There were a few customers dining already..unfortunately we were no assistance to anyone. But not to worry, we were able to find seats for ourselves. A waitress came over to give us the menu and she was polite enough to smile. They were dressed appropriately and they were neatly charming. There was a manager, who was looking at us but never did came near us. It was ok.

A former classmate of mine works in that branch it was very nice to see an old friend again. Grace. She's very helpful and even if they had a lot of customers by then she was able to check on us from time to time.. How very kind.. (Hoorahhh to the Philwomenians again!)

The place was clean but it was a small store. They kept the place nice and neat. The tables and chairs were arranged properly but there was a lot of things going on the table. There were a lot of table accessories such as the card menu displays (huge ones) which gives small space for the plates and glasses to be served. 

***Just a suggestion, no matter how big or small the sponsor of your restaurant has, like coca cola or pepsi or whatever, there's no need to put that card display on the table because we are not after that... Plus enough space for the plates to be put at. We are after the food! Well that's my stomach talking.. haha!*** 

i noticed that there were posters of different movies which makes it feel at home, and i like the natural brown and orange color which makes it more welcoming.. the simpler the better! 

This is my mom with my sister who is spending time to read the menu...
Mango Milk Shake - is my sisters' choice of beverage because they are mango lovers, but this was not their favorite, it was too sweet and the mango flavor was not really there.



Fiesta Taco Salad - P 203.00 - this is a worthy price for a worthy Salad - this was my mom's pick and when we ordered it was one of their specialties.. Mother knows best! yep.. they do! although the description tells that the dish had roasted chicken bits and a freshly friend tacos, I did not felt that. but all of the ingredients were complete, there was kidney beans, nachos that was not really a nachos but more likely a "Chippy" Chips, mixed greens and of course the cheddar cheese which is more likely an eden cheese. But all in all it tasted FANTASTIC! I loved it! 


Seafood Gambero - P250.00 - This had mussle and shrimp, a tomato based sauce seasoned with garlic, oregano and basil. Parsley for garnish and Parmesan. It was good. 



Tenderloin Steaks - P350.00++ - My brother and my sister had this and It wasn't the best steak. From my recent blogs, my brother knows a best steak and since they came home from Libya, we have gone far and wide to search for the best of the best steak in town, one that my brother would have to eat everyday whatever it takes! These steaks on the other hand was just another one of those that didn't beat the steak he loves so much in Libya. We asked for a medium rare but unfortunately it was rare! I know in the picture it looks hmmm different but in the inside it wasn't it was really rare. This is a no go!


Carbonara P226.00 - This is so far the best Carbonara I've ever tasted, I have to admit next to sister Ate Michelle, this is by far the best carbonara, the pasta was cooked perfectly, the sauce was hot and saucy and juicy and the chicken and the mushroom was perfectly seasoned with garlic and nutmeg and ofcourse white and black pepper mixed,and don't me started on the cheese!!! I love the cheese, mozzarella and parmesan mixed, like fireworks in your mouth! TWO THUMBS UP! I vow to the cook who made it! Very well done! GUYS YOU HAVE GOT TO TRY THIS! I promise you, it won't be a disappointment!

these are my siblings sharing their dishes to one another, and asking how does it tastes and etc..


and last but certainly not the least... Waffles - P300.00++ - this is a combination order, with chicken fingers and salad.this was amazing.. I forgot what it's called, but trust me when i say it's one of the best in pancake house. you have to ask for it because sometimes they don't have it and it depends on what time..so ask for the waffles that have chicken fingers..! 



Over all it was ok. If you're looking for a relaxed and on the budget restaurants this is the place to go.. You can bring a long friends and family. Everyone is welcome here.

So here it is!


Eat HAPPY Everyone!!

Hoorahhh Flapjacks...

My dearest friends or the interwebs...
I'm very sorry for the delay...
I've been very lazy lately due to the weather and all.. 
And apart from that I stayed in Binangonan Rizal which our internet/wifi is not that cooperative..
So..

Here it goes.. I was waiting for my friend Jessica..
As soon as she arrived, she was complaining she was hungry and the thought that i needed to blog about this restaurant, so i figured why not right?

Immediately i took a bath and just on some of my casual clothes.
Locked my apartment and went to robinsons manila. 

At the entrance there were no receptionist.
I saw one server and the managers were all seating down and discussing things.

I went inside and the place looked like an old diner.
It was clean but it looked old.

I like our server, he was very charming and nice. He was also smiling the whole time me and my friend was there.
The rest room was small but clean.

I was a little upset when I learned that they don't accept American Express Credit Card.

On the table:



Granny's Favorite P125.00  -  mixed apples, orange and grapes. Not my favorite but it was a recommendation from the server so I tried it. It was a big serving as well.


Chocolate Chip P135.00 - it's a milk shake with chocolate chips. 


 


Parmesan Garlic Chicken Wings P255.00 - The wings was warm and freshly friend.It was very tasty.




Chicken Stuffed Parmigiana Platter P320.00 - Chicken was a bit bland, I like the pasta , the sauce was sweet. It is very good. 



Blueberry Pancake - P200++ - I like this very much! It is one of my favorite. 

Thank you Everyone..!!


Eat HAPPY Everyone!!
Kwaizz miya miya!!
