Burgoo: Sodexho, HSBC and etc.

Last Friday, my Panget and I couldn't figure out where to have dinner. Since my Panget had a Php500.00 worth of Sodexho gift certificate, we decided to just use it.

We went to Burgoo at Tomas Morato since we saw their logo on the Sodexho brochure. When we were seated, we first asked if we could avail of the Sodexho GC - the manager said yes - it was as good as cash. But we weren't satisfied with just using the GC, we then asked if there were other offers or promos by certain credit cards. The server and manager told us that they had the following promos from the following credit cards:

a) American Express Peso Platinum - 15% off the total food bill
b) HSBC - Purchase any dish with the same worth of certain appetizers and get the appetizer for free!
c) Banco de Oro - free dessert of some sort

We asked the manager again if we could possibly use the Sodexco GC and avail of any of the credit card offers. The manager said yes, so we thought to ourselves - good deal right? Indeed it was. We ordered for a sampler Supreme Sampler, Fish and Chips (so we can avail the sampler for free via HSBC), New Awlin's Classic Platter for my Panget, and a lemonade for him as well. When the food arrived - we were in shock - we didn't think that the food would be that many!

I took pictures of the before and after. You be the judge! We had such a good deal, a great deal actually - and so we'll be back soon. Hehehe.. :)

The before and after pictures..

So we just had to pay.. how much for our bill?
Cool huh?!

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
