The Weekend that was....

I will be posting in bullets. It was actually a lazy weekend, which I liked!
  • I actually watched an FPJ movie on Channel 2! I was laughing at myself! Hahaha..
  • Went to Megamall to check out my Panget's display booth
  • Ate at Banana Leaf - disappointing Thai food! The Tom Yum Kung was just all broth!
  • Went to get take out at Banapple. Man was I disappointed with the Apple Pie! It tasted really blaaaaaaaaaaah!! But the Banofee Pie was really really good!! :) (I will be posting pictures soon!!)
  • I started my Sunday with a Mass - and I loved it! It truly made my day..
  • Mom bought 1/2 kilos of oysters for a meager Php50.00! She made a delish Oyster Cake!
  • Had an uber lazy afternoon, went to Metrowalk to get some DVDs - bought Superbad, Knocked-Up and I now pronounce you Chuck and Larry.
  • Watched Superbad - it was super bad for me but my Panget loved it! (a guy movie)
  • Ate at Little Asia in Promenade - the food was so so - nothing great. It was filling!
  • Watched Knocked-Up and fell asleep! I guess I was tired! hahaha.. Will continue to watch it tonight!! :)
I am going back to my diet this starting today. I need to lose some weight!! Gained so much on my Bangkok Trip! Hahaha... Wish me luck guys!! :)

    Agree with you on Superbad. When I watched the movie, there were 8 couples inside. My first thought was "Hey, is this a date movie?" But only the guys were laughing.

    yah i have to agree... banana leaf's quality has gone down since it first opened [when it used to be banana leaf & tea house...??] -- no offense to our canadian batchmates... -- is it still theirs...? hehehe

    its hard to find really good roti here... hehehe -- then again i guess i haven't exactly eaten in EVERY single one that serves them...
    i'm used to the turo-turo lang nga eh... and maybe a couple of sitdown places near my old college... and syempre those were "authentic" -- as in run by indian/paki/thai's... [but not as authentic as ACTUALLY coming from those countries coz i've yet to visit...]

    how do you classify banana leaf...? asian fusion...?

    SOMS is wonderful! so cheap pa!! but i can't remember if they have roti...hahahaha only been there a couple of times...
    the thai kitchen isn't so bad either...also reasonably priced...
    but for family sitdown places i have yet to find a really nice place... as in gushing 'this is a great' place! like SOMS hehehe -- crustasia's pretty ok... weird that they put one up on the ledge [in shangri-la] considering there's penang hill na... ok fine penang hill is s'porean but the menu's similar...

    Hey N!k/cole - Actually - Som's was just alright - I mean the Pad Thai was REALLY REALLY BAD! It tasted like ketchup! The curries were okay naman. The best thing with Som's is the price - that's it. Crustasia for me is OVERpriced, Penang Hill is alright.

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 ...

#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 t...

#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 s...
