Day 18

Blog: Something you crave a lot.

For some reason, I really like the skin and gravy of Jollibee's Chickenjoy. I want to eat it now! I know it's sooo unhealthy but it's just sooo good!

Day 10

Blog: A photo of your favorite place to eat.

Gerry's Grill is my favorite restaurant. I especially love and crave their tuna sisig and green mango shake. Photo was taken in MOA with the Andradas who treated us to dinner that night.

Day 2

Blog: A photo of something you ate today.

This is what we had for lunch - awesome bulalo! In English, beef bone marrow and vegetable stew. Yummy with lots of white rice and patis on the side...
Photo is not so good as I took it with my Blackberry Bold, which I just replaced today :) Meet my new phone...

My husband told me to get the white one coz it's prettier, the Torch also comes in red and black (I do like the white better too). And the best part was, I only got it for 1 cent!

Pasalubong From Dubai

A friend of mine just got back from Dubai and gave us some Patchi, which is supposed to be some sort of designer chocolate. Honestly I'm not a big chocolate fan, I'm fine with a bar of Cadbury fruit and nut or a Lindor truffle, but this was really good chocolate. I liked that it wasn't cloyingly sweet and overpowering - just nice, smooth, easy chocolate...

Thanks J!

Litratong Pinoy: Merienda

Tsaang pang-hapon [o afternoon tea] ang aming merienda isang araw. Mainam ito kapag ikaw ay hindi busog o gutom, kasama nang magandang usapan.

Magara ang pagka-disenyo ng mga palayok at nananatiling mainit ang tsa dahil sa apoy sa ilalim nito.

Mga panghimagas - cheesecake, ice cream, at cookies...
Isang kutsarita.

Litratong Pinoy: Tanghalian

Tanghalian namin sa Gerry's Grill, SM Mall of Asia - sizzling kangkong, garlic rice, tuna sisig, crispy tadyang...

Sarap nito lalo na pagkatapos maglakad sa buong mall :)

PhotoHunt: Creamy

The PhotoHunt theme for this week is creamy.

First up is one of the more popular frozen yogurt brands - Pinkberry. Mmm...

Really creamy stroke-inducing gnocchi from the Olive Garden.
And a white and dark chocolate fountain at the Bellagio. Awesome.

Litratong Pinoy: Lahat Ay Payak

Kung ano pa ang pinakasimple, yun pa ang pinakamasarap... Inihaw na isda ang payak na ulam na aming pinagsaluhan isang araw sa El Nido, Palawan. Karamihan sa probinsiyang ito ay pangingisda ang hanapbuhay kaya't napakasariwa ng aming pananghalian noong araw na iyon. 

Lalo nang masarap kainin ito ng kinakamay lamang!

Our Stay In Plantation Bay

Upon deciding where to stay on our trip to Cebu I came across Plantation Bay Resort & Spa. A couple of my friends had been there too and they enjoyed staying there as well. Here's a picture of the manmade lagoon that's found throughout the resort. 

We booked the cheapest room which was the poolside room. Pretty spacious, very clean with awesome mattresses and sheets! 
Perfect for a good night's sleep. 
Best of all, just a few steps and you're in the pool!
Here's a night shot, our room is the first door on the left. 
There's so many activities to chose from to keep you entertained if you're bored of the usual swimming and tanning. We tried the firing range. 
My brother acting like a tough guy. They let you keep your target board as a souvenir. 
Wielding the rifle was tiring because of the impact it has when it fires! I liked the glock much better. The instructor even taught me how to load my own bullets!
Best of all, they have four amazing restaurants. Here's a sample of our dining experience...
No, the orchid is not edible. Pardon the uninspired half-assed food shots, I was always so hungry.



And after all the running around and going back and forth from Mactan and Cebu it's time to relax with a bubble bath...
The next time I visit Plantation Bay I'll make sure to just stay inside the resort to enjoy it fully. It's so far from the good malls because it's all the way in Mactan Island. Kasi naman I'm such a mall rat I can't resist not shopping when on vacation!

spicy shallot

had dinner with my friends at our usual hang out place. the ambiance there at night is quite nice. we love thai food and sushi and you rarely find a place that serves that combination. it's really affordable too...

i didn't take much pictures coz it was a bit dark and i was too hungry [we went shopping before dinner] and lazy too, i guess...

Jean's usual crunchy spicy tuna and my usual philadelphia roll [salmon and cream cheese is a heavenly combination!]. i'm so stuffed, we all had too much to eat plus the big mugs of thai iced tea was too good. but then somebody still had room for dessert...

fried ice cream [we always order this every time we eat at this place just because it's so interesting]
