It was my first time going around the newly opened SM Mall of Asia when I thought of satisfying my curiousity for the much talked about Razon's halo halo. Not having eaten lunch that time, I also ordered the other thing in the menu, Pancit Luglug. Hmmm ..... 130 bucks was fair enough to satisfy my curiousity but certainly not for everyday snack.
Kamay Kainan at Market Market.
Love their buffet! I was addicted with their longganisa the last time I was there. Good thing this one and only shot that time came out almost perfect. KK at MM has one of the best less expensive Pinoy buffet there is for me.
Now move on to another KK. This office "snack" took place a few hours after we had the buffet above. I just had to buy Krispy Kreme doughnuts since I was already in that area so we took a walk. A long walk from Market Market to KK store. But it was worth it. Plus fresh strawberries from Baguio City, that was a truly rewarding afternoon. Damn! Almost a thousand bucks for this snack, I only realized now.
Wah Yuen Restaurant, Escolta
A trip to our lawyer's office in Escolta wouldn't be complete without visiting this restaurant. Its proximity that led us to this old school chinese restaurant, but after that, it almost became a habit. If there's one dish I always order (and recommend) , its salt and pepper squid, I swear its the best among Ive tasted. Its literally fried squid without the batter plus you can see and taste the chilli peppers that found itself "stuffed" inside the squid. Of course, their pata tim also is worth ordering.
This adobong puso ng saging with sitaw is one of my favorite orders in one of the food stalls along HV Dele Costa street in Makati. If they have this one, then I turn blind to the other viands they are selling, except maybe if they have their pork sinigang. If available I have them for breakfast and lunch, and at times for both. Im craving now, where the hell Im going to get this one at this time?
My Despidida at Work
After almost 7 years, I decided to quit my job. Of course I have to make a final statement. So one afternoon (after days of planning, making phone calls,etc), I laid it all for everyone to dig in. I had big bilao of pancit from Amber's , 3 large Brooklyn combi pizzas, 2 gallons of ice cream (including half gallon of office-made pineapple-cheese), assorted goodies from Biscocho Haus and almost 10 liters of soda.
Of course how can I forget "Manang" who always shouts "Palitaw...." almost everyday around 3pm near my place in Mandaluyong. With a bilao on her head plus two baskets, she walks around the area and by 6pm, it all disappears except for her bilao and baskets of course. My favorites included sio pao, japanese corn, baked mac, some kakanin, pancit palabok and malabon, and at times, embutido. How I miss those times. Im sure "Manang" also misses me.
Breadtalk
Completing my pasalubong galore when I returned home were spicy tuna sisig, creamfilled football buns dipped in chocolate and floss all of which were gone in a flash especially that latter.
I forgot how many times I've been here before especially during this snack time. My plate shows my weird combination of sio pao and sio mai with chocolate cake and cream puffs and this was actually my last (and 5th) plate. Their sio mai, introduced more recently became an instant hit that I wouldn't mind paying a little more than 100 pesos for this eat all you can sio mai.
