Smokin'Hot Bar BQ

Two weeks ago, when I was checking my email - I was surprised to see one that came from Spanky!  You see, I've been in a sort of a food blogger hiatus - you know, being a mom and all.  I receive invites but needed to turn them down because of my priorities with kids.  So there, when I got an email from Spanky - I was delightfully surprised!  And I know I had to say YES, to whatever it is that he was inviting me to.  It was actually an invite to The Bistro's newest baby!


So there, I braved the traffic and drove all the way to Greenbelt to join the group in trying out this new restaurant.  I have to say, it feels nice to see familiar faces and it feels a bit off that I've been out of the loop for a long time!

Here are some of their dishes:

This is their Smokin' BarBQ Chicken - looks beautiful noh?  Well, it tastes even better!  The meat was oh-so tender and the flavor was fantastic!  This chicken was marinaded so well, it's really really good!  No exaggeration!  I had to made this huge so that you'd see how beautiful it is!!

This is their version of Kuhol!  
The sauce is really yummy, the snails though - were quite tough..

If you like the sour taste of Sampalok - then you have to try their
Sinampalukang Manok
I like mine REALLY maasim and this hits the spot right on!!

I am a rice person and I loved their Aligue Rice!
I had seconds and thirds!  Ask Abet, Jane and Jill!  Hahaha..

Turon 2.0
It's banana ice cream in a caramel brittle cone!

The fare is Filipino cuisine - and assuming from the restaurant name - I assumed it was a BBQ joint.  I was honestly impressed because they went beyond grilling.  The presentation was wonderful, I loved the coconut serving bowls!  The food tasted fantastic too!  I will definitely go back for more! :)    I must also add that their service was superb!  Customer service is very important for me and I am happy to report that they have trained their staff very well!!

Thank you The Bistro Group and Spanky for inviting me! :)  I am honored.

Breastfeeding Mama!

"Welcome to the Milk Mama Diaries Carnival (July). For this month, we join the National Nutrition Council - Department of Health in celebrating Nutrition Month with the theme "Isulong ang Breastfeeding - Tama, Sapat at EKsklusibo!" Participants will share their experiences in promoting breastfeeding or their tips on how breastfeeding should be promoted. Please scroll down to the end of this post and check out the other carnival participants." When I got pregnant, I knew instantly that I would be breastfeeding my baby.  My mom found it odd that I decided to breastfeed - this was because I grew up formula fed.  My twin brother and I were given formula since birth, there was no attempt whatsoever to breastfeed.  In fact my mom recounted that she was given medicine to stop the milk production.  My pedia, Dr. Joy Ty-Sy said that during my mom's time (when she had us) it was the boom of formulas, that it was the trend that time.  I grew up with formula, my c

ANSON SUPERMARKET - Grocery delivery!!

Sharing is caring, so we can't keep it a secret any longer.  THIS is where we get out groceries!  Well, Anson Supermarket has been where we have been purchasing all of our kids' diapers!  From Kailee to Connor to Shobe!  Yes, yes, yes! A week into the lockdown, it just occurred to us that we can get our groceries from them - but then we thought, we didn't want to force them to do it - after all it's a different time now.  But when we asked and they said yes, it was like we won the lottery.  We sent out our list - a very VERY SPECIFIC list and voila after a day or two (we weren't in a rush) they told us to schedule a pick up.  Please remember that I am sharing this with you guys because I believe so much in the saying 'sharing is caring'.  Please be mindful of your language and respect those who will call or message you about your orders.  Also note that some items might NOT be available - so manage your expectations.   They're a full functioning

#CookingQuest: Winter Melon Soup ala Didi #EnhancedCommunity

One of the things that gets ooohs and aaaahs in a chinese restaurant is the #WinterMelonSoup.   You may ask why?  Well because with this soup, restaurants use the winter melon itself as a huge bowl to serve the soup!  It's a sight to see as you'll be amazed how they were able to pull it off.  You'll see the whole winter melon, and then suddenly they're take out the top part and when you peek in, the soup is inside together with meat bits and other veggies!  My mom has tried it at home, and I remember her being nervous that the winter melon doesn't break apart, kunde sira ang presentation! So during this #EnhancedCommunityQuarantine, I chanced upon Theo's Farm that they have winter melon, so I ordered.  When I saw it - I knew I wouldn't be able to pull off the carving and serving the winter melon.  It actually made the preparation easier.  I had to ask my mom, and she told me to steam the winter melon to soften it.  Honestly, I don't think I can w
