Jamba Juice - Chicken and Beer



Bebe Migs went to church for some errands then we decided to meet around fort area! :D  I always wanted to bring him to Jamba Juice, but the line is always long! The line was still long but we really wanted to have a drink so we didn't have any choice:))




I got Caribbean Passion while Migs ordered Strawberry Surf Rider!:D At first the Strawberry Surf Rider was sour, but eventually you will get use to it :) It gets even more delicious! :D The drink was really refreshing! :)) Perfect fit for summer :) Caribbean Passion has a unique taste:) It's really good:D it's a Passionfruit Mango juice Blend :D 

Sourdough Parmesan Pretzel
The pretzel was really big! It's more than enough for Migs and I! :) This alone can make a heavy meal! :) The pretzel was plain, even the cheese was not salty:)) kind of tasteless if you would ask me:)) lacks salt! :D But hey! if you are in a diet, this is the best way to go! :D




oh yeah! :)))

So we just strolled around fort and went as far Burgos Circle :D We didn't want to eat anymore because the drink and the pretzel alone made us full, but then we wanted to eat something salty. We went to Chicken and Beer.


The place is really comfy! :D This is the kind of lace where you can just chill and have good drinks with friends! :D









 I'm not sure what this one is called:)) But if I'm not mistaken, it think these are Spaghetti sticks:))
It's like a pretzel but only made out of deep fried spaghetti sticks with rock salt on the sides:)) I think this was for free:)) we just requested it cause we saw it on the side of the table :))This will destroy your teeth:))

 The this place serves affordable and really good korean chicken! :D 





How would you want to have restroom like this?:)))



This was one awesome day for us :D

Kabisera ng Dencio's - Balducci Ristorante & Deli


My friend Meli and I went to market market to look for some beads for her dress. Afterwards Migs followed and had our dinner:D

Serendra and Fort Highstreet is known for their expensive restaurants:) But if you try to scout carefully, there are places that is relatively cheap that still offers good food:)) one of them is Kabisera :D 


The place is really simple and comfy! you get the Filipino vibe with this restaurant :)


Kabisera is a 2-storey restaurant:)




Garlic Rice
They have good rice here:) the rice is very sticky, so the rice can really make you full! :D The rice is my favorie among the 3 :) it's different from what i usually eat:) it is very fragrant as well! :D

Lumpiang Ubod

Nothing very special:) just your typical lumping ubod! :) This is good for 3 persons--unless you want to eat 1 whole :)  

Pork Sisig
We got disappointed it guess with the serving cause we were expecting it is good for 3 persons:) the serving is quite small:( enough for 2 persons :D 
The sisig taste a lot like chicaron if you would ask me:) but, it s very tasty! :) The sisig overall was ok -- nothing new :)


Afterwards the 3 of us just walked around, catching up with stuff:))


We went to Balducci after for dessert! :)




THEY HAVE THE BEST PANACOTTA! :)



Honey Walnut Panacotta
This panacota is really special!:) It is very creamy! not too sweet, just right! ) It does not easily loose its form at the same time, the way it was gelatinized was not too hard! It wiggles! :)) This one is to die for! :) The top part was caramelized! its really good:D This is good for 2 :) 
The panacotta- for a dessert is kind of expensive, but worth it for the experience:) This slice costed us around Php 245.00 :D



By the way, this is our friend Meli:)

Bugis Singapore Street Food


I LOVE THIS SHOP AND I REALLY RECOMMEND ALL OF YOU TO TRY THIS!:)
i guess that would be my introduction for this :))
Migs and I found this super awesome store before i went to my church mates! this place is to die for!!! :') 


This is Bugis! They sell Singaporean street foods!


The place is really simple:) They serve balls! you have them in sweet sauce, curry and more :)) They also have milo dinosaur here!:)) But they were out of stock when we went here:(


They have a variety of balls such as lobster balls, fish cakes, tiger calls, fish balls, chili and a lot more! :D 



The price is really cheap!:) The price of the balls starts at Php 25.00/ stick :D


For their condiments, they have Hoissen, Peanut sauce and Chili sauce :)



Singaporean Laksa
This dish is served to us boiling hot, it was placed it this cool thingamajig! which makes it more appealing to eat, it's hard to get some of the noodles though because of the stuff in the middle:))




As you can see it is boiling hooooooot!:)
More than the presentation, the taste gives justice to its look! I can boldly say that this is an authentic Laksa! As Migs said, it is better than Banana leaf, and I say, better than Marriot Hotel :) This is really good! The coconut is very rich! The spices oozes in your mouth:D This Laksa is served spicy!!!:) The sauce is thick!!!:) It was served with lobster balls, fish ball, shrimp, egg and the white noodles:D This is to die for!!!:D 
And to think, this is only Php 180.00 NO KIDDING! Sometimes it would just amaze you how some food tastes better than the expensive ones you see in the mall or some fancy places!:)) 


We ordered curry balls!:) The curry was really rich but not overwhelming! It was kind of sweet as well:) Migs told me when he went to Macau, this was like the same sauce that he tasted there:D It was really good! For this dish, you get to pick the balls you want and how they are cooked:) For us, we got the fishcake, tiger balls and fish balls cooked in sorry sauce:D

It is like a shabu-shabu ball galore :))

Tiger Balls in Curry Sauce


Fish Balls in Curry Sauce



Fish Cakes in Curry Sauce
 How can we ever forget Mig's Favorite Singaporean / Indian Bread :))

ROTI PRATA
Roti Prata

We expected that the curry sauce in our balls and in the Roti are the same, but they were different, the curry sauce of the Roti was stronger than the sauce in the balls :) 

I LOVE THIS PLACE!:) i got more excited to eat the foods here than Chelsea Market and Cafe!

ITS REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY GOOD HERE!
no kidding!
The Bugis experience won't be complete without the laksa :)
We will definitely go back again:)) we will try the curry puffs, milo dinosaur and the singaporean lime juice something :))
For you taft people out there!:)) you GOTS TO TRY!:D

Chelsea Market & Cafe

Most exciting date eveeeeeeeer :D Migs and I went to Chelsea market & cafe! This trip was not planned at all, we didn't really know where to eat, but hey! sometimes being spontaneous is not bad at all :))


Appetizers were served to us right after we ordered :D They served their homemade baked herbed bread with olive oil, baked garlic ( which by the way is very soft and not pungent) and balsamic vinegar for the spread :) 


HEAVEN IN A PLATE!!!! :)

'Low and Slow' Merlot Braised U.S Beef Short Ribs


This looks soooooo delicious that I can't help but take lots picture of it!:)) 

Its taste is better than it looks! This was one hell of a beef! I'll tell you why on the next picture :D


This is  marbled meat, the meat was filled with fats inside, which makes it tastier! :) This is like Wagyu in your mouth:)) The beef was really tender and and really tasty!:) The gravy was just right! I love how they served it with small cherry tomatoes!:) I love tomatoes:) When Migs and I took a bite at this fine meat, we just stop and stared at each other! It was that good:D
This dished costs Php 750.00 good to share:)


Grilled ' Artisinal' Sausages

This dish is composed of 3 sausages:) Pepperoni sausage (the white one), Bratwurst (the orange) and Hungarian (the darker orange one) ;)


The sausage were soft and juicy :) I can say that the sausages were legit!:) The sausages were good for 3 persons!:) it was a lot actually :D



 This sausage comes with a gravy and sauerkraut, horse radish and mash potato:) 



Its amazing how they complimented the sausages with sauerkraut:We don't usually see them nowadays:) They taste different for me, it has a weird taste! They are kind of bitter, not too sour, and kind of sweet. Definitely not salty :)) can't explain it:))
This dish costs Php 695.00 :D



We were sooooo full after! It was a great meal!:D The meal was worth it I tell you :D We love it here:) 
Next time, we would go here again for the Risotto or for the Pizza :)

Orchard Road and Toyko Bubble Tea, Milk Tea Place and Restaurant HAPPY BIRTHDAY BEBE BORJ :)


After  our thesis, bebe borj treated us to Orchard Road to celebrate her birthday- belated!:D
From taft we commuted going to megamall :D The original plan was to study there since we can't study in school then Borj surprised us when she told us that she will treat us for her birthday :D 

THANK YOU BORJ :D

When we arrived in Shaw Blvd. station, we came a cross this awesome shop! From a far it's really catchy! It looked as if they were serving some delicious ice cream there!:D

With the shining 10 pesos on the window, and a plasma TV for advertisment who wouldn't try?!










How was the Ice cream?

it was HORRIBLE :| sorry. I'm just saying:|
It is like eating powdered ice cream that doesn't have any taste:|
I wasn't able t finish mine:|

After the ice cream we went to Orchard Road! Migs and I haven't tried this place yet! Borj said it was good there! True enough the food was good at the same time very affordable! Singaporean cuisine in the Philippines :D


Hainanese Chicken
The chicken is tender, very affordable at the same time!:D

Hainanese Chicken Rice
I think there are better Hainanese rice:) But this one would do:)

Laksa 
It was ok I guess. I've tasted better:) The presentation was messy and it was served to us cold :| There was not much herbs inside, the herbs you would expect on a Laksa, such as cilantro and galangal weren't present :| 

Chaw  Kway Teow
This was my personal favorite among the things we had ordered:) Ever since I love love love rice noodles, so that makes me biased:)) It was seasoned perfectly! It was generously stuffed with toppings. 


Roti Prata
This is Migs's ultimate favorite!:D Roti! This dish comes with a curry dip!

Poh Hia
This is like a vietnamese spring roll. They taste different but the closest i can think of in terms of taste would be Lumpiang Ubod mixed with Vietnamese spring rolls. The serving is big, it is enough for 2-3 persons!:D

Kopi Tarik
This was one awesome coffee! This was Borj's ultimate favorite! She told me she goes back here in Orchard Road for this coffee! The coffee is really good! I got "kilig" when I drank this coffee! The perfect word to describe this is, bittersweet!:D I can't express how unique and good this coffee is--it's a must for you to try this!:) It's really good!:D 

Kaya Bread

I saw this in asian food channel! I guess it was not what I expected when i watched it. Although I've never tasted one i think there is a big difference from the original one. The authentic Kaya bread is toasted in charcoal- it is like being grilled, then a special sweet coconut jam is usually used as the spread. The one I tasted in Orchard road is bread that was toasted in the toaster and a sugar-ish milk jam. 


It would be awesome to try a bread toasted in charcoal :))




 Afterwards, me and Borj looked for a place to study! Then Borj lead us to this cute japanese place Bubble Tea




Taro Milk Tea
The taro milk tea was great! The pearl was soft! This milk tea is different cause the syrup that comes with the pearl taste a lot like Taho syrup. It is unique and good at the same time! This one I think costed around Php 145.00 :D 


My baby is tired na:))
