Have a Great Father's Day with your Dad at Marriott Hotel

This Father's day, Marriott Manila gives out the perfect venue for the special guy in our lives on his day with a great blow out and of course for the dads that love golf as well.

Since it’s another event that deserves a grand blow out, food is always the first thing to consider especially for the man who takes time to enjoy family, hobby, and a good meal!

SumoSam's Grand Opening at Gateway Mall .. yum yum! ^_^ *caution food porn ahead*

My mom's job is to send entertainers to Japan and Korea, so ever since I was a kid I basically grew up knowing Japanese cuisines and its culture, which I have grown accustomed to.  

It was really nice that there are more Japanese restaurants since me and my family eat out in these kinds of restaurants.  Japanese food culture is actually getting some hype here in the Philippines since more people are more curious in eating new cuisines. 

Food Finds: Instant Japanese Noodles

There are days that you feel you just want to curl up and sleep all day...Well for me there are. And usually on those days I would just lay in bed thinking what to eat. But being so lazy I subjected myself in eating anything instant for that day. 

A couple of days ago I was terribly lazy that I forgot to wake up earlier to cook my pack lunch and I was in so much hurry to get to work that I just grabbed one of these to eat on my way to work. 

This was given to me by my god brother since his mom sent him some of these as well as some chocolates that I've blogged earlier. 

Instant Japanese noodles are quite different that other noodles that are in the market since even if you over cook them they won't get really soggy. I especially like Instant noodles from Japan since they are so filling and one serving of this is good for two people, but if you are really hungry this can definitely solve that. 

Most Japanese noodles sold here are priced around 45 PHP above which is considering the tax and other miscellaneous stuff added to it. But overall its a good thing to have when you are in a hurry to get to work or you are just plain lazy to cook your meal for the day haha!

Kroketten: Fun and Healthy Potato Dutch Snacks

If there’s one type of carb that Filipinos have a strong penchant besides rice, that’s potato. Whether mashed, fried, in a salad or soup, we so love its flavor and feel of the tiny grains that melt wonderfully in each bite.

Since snacking on potato is one of the most popular sustenance and enjoyment in the country, there is now a unique variety that is surely yummy, appealing, and extra healthy for everyone. Best thing to know that it’s made affordable for all!

Food (Drink) Finds: One Plus Green Apple Iced Tea for only 10 pesos

Ola ladies! 

There are times that when I am really thirsty that I just grab anything that can quench my thirst. 

That actually happened to me a week ago when I was in Makati. Luckily I was able to see a Mini stop nearby so I was able to get a drink. 

I have that manner that when I'm thirsty I don't really care if its expensive or not I just need it to help me not get dehydrated. 

I got the One Plus Green Apple Iced tea and I was surprised that at the check out the cashier told me its only 10 pesos. 

Taste wise its good. It has green tea with a dash of apple that is quite refreshing especially on a hot summer afternoon. 

I'm not really sure if all mini stop sell these or this is only available at that branch only. But be sure to check this one out. 

Much Love!

Indulge Item of the Week: McDonald's Green Apple Sprite Float

Due to the summer heat, I have been forced to buy one of these. I was also in the mood to try something different from my usual tumbler of iced tea to quench my thirst everyday. 

I was kinda glad that their floats are very fruity which suits for those who wants a refreshing taste after being in the sun for some time. I was just a little bothered with the after taste the ice cream has but what else can you say since this is a float. 

I got mine in green apple which was my first time to try. I like that it is refreshing and the scent is divine. I really like the scent of apple for some reason and the taste just hits the spot. 

The price is also reasonable for 29 pesos for the regular one. You can also get this with a medium sized fries for 50 pesos. 

Great drinks are really something if you want to try it. 

You can check out any McDonalds to get a taste of this. 

Much Love!

A Perfect Gift for Mom this Mother's Day from Marriott Hotel

One of the people that know my taste in food is my mom. She would always cook delectable meals that fit me and my brother’s picky taste buds. One of her passions is eating too, so I’m pretty sure she will be so happy if I bring her to the Marriott Café for mother’s day for Sunday brunch in which the Marriott Café is known for having an upscale yet cosy venue to enjoy a great brunch with the family. 

Team Building and outing @ 9 Waves!

 

Last Saturday (April 21) me and my office mates went on our annual team outing. This is actually my second time and I am really happy that I was able to join. 

Last year we went to Bosay Resort in Antipolo since last year it was just a spur of the moment thing while with this one we had a little over a month to prepare everything. 

Food Review: Jollibee's Coffee Float

Ola ladies! 

With the summer heating up a better way to cool down is to sip a cool drink right? I always find it hard to drink floats although I like them, maybe its because after I drink them I feel more thirsty. 

I was able to find a new drink that can cool me down without making me more thirsty and it is from Jollibee! 

First Summer Outing with my friends at Loreland + short review

Happy Summer! 

Last Saturday (April 14) Me and my friends went on a summer outing at Loreland in Antipolo. I have actually been really curious about this resort since I've seen their website and also reviews saying that this is a great place. 

Me and my friends chose to go on a night swimming trip since almost all the pools are outdoor pools which means that we would suffer sun burn with this. Its actually okay for me since my skin would get back to normal anyways :D 

Food Finds: Meiji Chocolate Almonds

I seriously love chocolates. I especially like these that were given to me by my god brother about a month ago. 

Chicken Deli's Meet and Greet with Alodia

Hi Everyone! 

Last Saturday I was really glad I was able to meet Alodia Gosengfiao since I won their twitter contest last Friday night. 

 

I was also able to try Chicken Deli's delicacy which are mostly Filipino food like Chicken Bacolod and their turon. 

It was actually Alodia's birthday so I was a bit happy that I was able to greet her on her birthday. I wasn't able to ask her any questions though which as a little bad :( but its okay since I'm pretty sure I'll be able to meet her next time. 

I was also able to meet other cosplayers, bloggers and eat some great food from Chicken Deli. 

With Sumi Go ^_^

I'll try to blog next time about their other specialties since I wasn't able to eat most of the time at the event, I was a bit fascinated though with the cosplayers that's why I wasn't able to eat haha! 

But thanks Chicken Deli! I will surely comeback to try some more! 

Follow Chicken Deli on twitter @Chicken_Deli and also on Facebook! 

Much Love!

Food Finds: Veggie Bread at 7-11

I am a busy person and there are times I forget to bring my food with me to work so the next best thing for me instead of buying fast food is heading to the convenience stores near my office. 

I usually buy bread, canned tuna and pineapple juice or any juice I see on their chiller. 

I was actually curious with this bread that is why I bought it. This is like any other bread but it has veggies in it. 

Its quite cheap in its price which is 19.00PHP which is less than a dollar in the US. 

As upon opening it I was kinda curious what it would smell like since that would usually be my way to say if it tastes good or not. I know I'm weird so don't say it hehe!  I was actually surprise that when I opened this it smelled like pizza, I'm not kidding this REALLY smells like one! 

By taste it does taste good but not great. I'm no connoisseur but I think its because this was not fresh when I bought it. It was actually near its expiration date so I wasn't able to feel its crispiness. Ah the memories when I became a baker's apprentice.. sorry daydreaming again :) 

But overall this is a good buy if you want a different kind of bread. 

This is available in 7-11 for only 19.00 for 2 slices. 

Much Love!
