Old Spagetti House and the Kwentuhan...

Almost a year ko ng niyaya si mister i-try itong resto na to. And almost a year na rin nya akong dine deadma. He said he’s not into pasta food, kaya baka masayang lang daw…Okaay. Hmp! Nakakabasag ng trip.

One day, I promised myself that I will eat there one time…promise.

So it happened last month, with my sister and her li’l kid. I ordered the White Sauce pasta Mylenes Creamy Pinoy pasta with garlic longganiza, Caesars salad single for my kapatid and Colossal choco dip ala mode for the kid that took about 30 minutes to bake!

At first taste of my food, I was a bit disappointed because of the parang malansa taste. Maybe it is because of the longganiza but in the end naubos ko naman. I think when you’re eating it na continuously, nawawala yung pangit na taste. Basta ganun.

The salad naman is ok lang, no big deal. What I liked most is the Colossal choco dip ala mode, sweet and crunchy. Ang tagal lang talaga i-bake, really.

Anyway, here’s a kwentuhan with my kids about the late Tado…

Me : Ace, kilala mo ba si Tado? Yung naka eyeglass na malaki and long hair?

Ace: Opo

Me ; Namatay na sya, nahulog yung bus na sinasakyan nya..

Ace:  San nahulog? Sa balon? Sa balon mommy?

*** Balon agad, anak.

Me: Anak, kilala mo ba si Tado? Yung naka eyeglass na malaki and long hair?

Basti : Opo

Me ; Namatay na sya, nahulog yung bus na sinasakyan nya, blah blah blah…

Basti : Parang final destination yung napanood ko sa tv, kasi si Paul Walker sa kotse rin…parang final destination yun.

*** Oo nga naman. 

That’s it.

Valentines Day...

Where did we spent our Valentines? Late na to make a kwento hihihi…okay lang yan, atleast me pagchi chismisan pa.

The hubby and his drinking buddy, lets call him na lang “parekoy”, decided to take us wives in Laong-Laan Resto Bar. Okaaaay, I said. I’m not that excited to have a date kasi we all know that Feb. 14 is a very hectic and traffic. Kaso I’m sure magtatampong pururot naman pag pinakansel ko, di ba? Plus I’ve been there last year and the place is not that appealing to me. Anyway, pagbigyan na nga…

So there, 9pm off to the said resto. Jam pack ang area, kitam. Buti na lang the British owner named Jeff pulled out another table for us right in front of the stage!

Bwenas nga naman. Pero they are all staring at us hihi, di ko alam kung dahil sa beauty ko or dahil sa special treatment, well sana sa beauty ko na lang hehehe...joke.

We ordered a bucket of San Mig light, Red Horse, Lechon kawali that looks like a porkchop, Crispy pata and calamares. The band that night played well. They sang good old songs kasi nga  most of the audiences that night are thunders na along with their respective families. Valentines day eh kaya celebrate it with your loved ones ika nga…family.

Everybody is welcome to sing at the stage that night. So kinarir talaga ng mga oldies ang pagkanta. In fairness me boses sila lahat. Nakakatuwa.

When everybody are already drunk and in their happy mood, the hubby and I along with the another couple danced in front of the stage! Naka naman, di pa ako lasing, tipsy lang. Pero masaya ha? It is not that I love to dance sweet but the fun of having my body moves with the others is like new to me. Nakakatuwa talaga. Nabanat face ko sa kaka smile hehe.

Hey, the mister also danced with the waitress there! When the hubby approached the girl, di malaman ng girl kung sasayaw kaya she asked me if its okay…Haay naku, inday, sayong sayo na yan kung pwede lang hahaha! Wala na sa katawan ko ang jeling jeling, ‘no. Kaya heto ang evidence mga ‘tsong…

Feeling gwapo talaga hehehe..pagbigyan nyo na ha?

We ended the night at around 3am, wow! Me pasok pa kami that day.

So far my drinking session este valentines date with the hubby and the rest of the group is very refreshing and fun. Our bill cost us only Php 1800. Ok na ano?

That’s how we spent our Valentines day…

Ang good thing I have Lemon-Cucumber juice at the ref, it helps me ease the hang-over and overcome the puyat. Parang wala lang nangyari.

That’s it…

Next year? Waaah iba naman please…

Food Trip...bow

I’ve been hibernating for so long, ‘no?

Yeah. Lots of actions passed by and I wasn’t able to blog all of it here! My golly…I felt bad, really. Bakit nga ba? Ewan ko, nakadikit na naman si “k” sa kin. Spirit ng kasipagan, dalawin mo ako lagi ha?

Haaaaay buhay.

Anyway, let’s start with this muna, the El Bonito’s Pizza! Tadan!

looks yummy ano?

This was a pasalubong from a friend months ago for us in the office. She bought it in Waltermart Makiling. The taste? Nah, very bland, need more salt, spices and pepper to flavor. The cheese is not that cheesy, too. Ang kapal pa ng bread. Given that this is just a pasalubong, we’re thankful naman for the merienda that day.

This is what they call “Valenciana” in Bulacan. It is made of gata, malagkit, chicken and a little dash of atsuete daw. Our boss cooked this in his rice cooker and viola! Teka teka, nung isang araw lang I saw the rice cooker with hot water in it and I was told that it will be used in a foot spa…yucky! Hinugasan naman siguro hehe.

Another food to share is this…They call it “Okoy sa Tabi-tabi” hehehe…made of kalabasa and veggies inside. You will dip this in vinegar to match. You can buy it in cariton-like food cart near the church and plaza and will cost you Php 8/pc only. Mabubusog ka na. Thanks to one of our boss who introduced this super cheap but tasty merienda really.

Ayan, three foods in a row agad. Di halatang mahilig kumain hehe.

Let’s accept the fact that we love to eat, we love to taste new food, we love to explore our tongue to different taste, di ba? It comforts us. But sometimes or may I say most of the times the guilt feeling crossed us after eating especially when our pants zipper is not cooperating and the baby fats (hehe) around our waist is getting noticed. Aray ko.

Bahala na si batman, basta ako kakain. And mage exercise, hehe. Weh?

Runny nose and Greek resto experience…

Wazz up?

Well, last week is not good for me. I have cough, runny nose and a headache. 3-in-1 talaga. They are with me for four days, buhay na buhay at tuwang tuwang kasama ako….and I’m begging them to go away…haaay, I wish a simple like that. 

Green tea, ambroxol, antibiotic and fruits (grapes and dalandan) are my remedies. Rest? Nah, I have to go to work. Rest is spelled after office hour at our home sweet home. 

And I’m glad, magaling na ako, yeabah!

Lemme share you a resto I like.

Café Mediterranean…I’ve been here, twice I think. I ordered Gyro plates but instead of a regular pita, I prefer Basmati rice with red tea on a side. Aside from the meat, dishes that are included on the plate are Baba Ghanoush, Tabbouleh and Tzatziki…Namilipit dila ko dito. Bahala na kayong mag pronounce. 

Baba Ghanoush
Also known as ‘Moutabal’, a smoked eggplant and tahini dip.

Tabbouleh
Combination of nutty cracked wheat (bulgur), tomatoes, and parsley

Tzatziki
Creamy combination of cucumber, yogurt, and garlic dip

They also have equivalent Naan bread, the pita bread they used in making shawarma. The food is affordable and the taste is good. Maiba naman.

The ambience is really good too. Very greek. I love the wall decorated with beautiful tiles in color. The tables and chairs they have are very comfortable. The well-dimmed lights they have are very cozy and relaxing. The servers are also nice.
