Trinoma

Last Saturday night, I went to Trinoma to watch Fantastic Four: The rise of the Silver Surfer. I was kind of excited to see that Trinoma looked like - I was told not to expect anything because the place is still undergoing works, as it was only 50% finished.

I've read Anton's entry on Trinoma - and I was told by a friend that the place was still dusty and most of the stores were still closed.

Here are my observations and comments:

- The parking was really confusing - it was zigzag-y! Although it was huge - the route was kind of blah - it was confusing period. AND THEY ALREADY CHARGE A FEE OF PHP30.00! The mall is still not fully operational - so why charge those who just want to take a look at it?! The lighting also was a bad, the roofdeck parking had no sufficient lighting! It was too dark. As for the floors below - only certain portions had lights, the others were dim.

- Most shops inside the mall were still closed! There was nothing to do really, than walk around and say to oneself 'Ooohh! (Name of store) will be opening?! When will they be operational kaya?'

- The cinemas were all operational. This is one thing I looked forward to! There is no need anymore to travel more than 15 minutes to watch a movie in a nice cinema! I was shocked to learn that the THX cinema can accomodate 600+ people?! Huge cinema, one observation though - the screen was a tad small - I mean since it's a huge cinema - I was thinking - the screen should be scalled to fit the cinema. But that's just me.

- The mall is DUSTY at night! Of course, the work is done at night right? Well, it's really dusty and noisy at the same time!

- The tiles - poor tiles! There were so many that already had cracks! As we went down the escalators after th movie - there were people hammering the tiles off the floorings! There were even X marks on them. Poor tiles supplier!

Overall, I think when the works will be completed - the mall will look amazing. The mall actually reminds me of a mall in Hong Kong called Pacific Place. I'm really so happy with the cinemas! Finally, a nice comfortable cinema in Quezon City!!

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

#CookingQuest: Chicken Stir Fry

When I was little, I used to see my mom, guama and aunt cook in the kitchen.  I found it amazing, that they have this idea in their heads on what to cook for us.  I remember my guama had small bits of plastic that when opened contained shirmp and cooked pork fat.  I asked her what it was for, and she told me that it was to add 'flavor' to the dish whatever it was.  I don't remember seeing her look at any cook book or a paper with recipe.  She just whipped them all up! When I got older, I became interested in baking - baking because I was afraid of splattering oil.  So I stuck to baking for a while.  It was only when I got married that I had to dive in and cook.  When my Panget and I were newly married, we didn't have a helper during the weekend, so I had to step up.  There were times that we didn't have a helper at all (we borrowed my mom's helper to clean), so I had to do all the cooking.  It was there that I learned to whip something up with just ing
