The Clubhouse

Last night, we were at Robinson's Magnolia and decided to have dinner at The Clubhouse.  The restaurant is fairly new there was a sign that they were on soft opening.  From outside the mall, the interiors looked interesting through the glass, but when you're inside the mall - the restaurant's entrance was quite invisible - good thing there was a waiter who had a menu on hand, attracting customers.


The staff was very accommodating - helping us set up the table since we brought Kailee along without help.  They gave us a highchair (which they should clean!  I'm anal about highchairs thus I bring my own diluted solution of Lysol for those cleaning moments - and as expected, it was dirty) and gave into every request we made from teaspoons, to mugs, to glasses of ice, tissue and  extra plates.

We ordered the fries and sausages for appetizer, I ordered their Asian Rice Bowl while my Panget who was craving for longganisa had their Longganisa Hash.


Their fries and sausages were good!  The honey mustard sauce goes very well with sausages, made the sausages taste more - YUM!  You can actually just order a bowl of plain rice and it makes into a full meal!



The Asian Rice Bowl was flavorful - but the meat was overcooked and quite tough.  The taste was good even if it was a bit dry and the serving was good too, they didn't scrimp on the meat!  I gave Kailee some meat and she liked the taste.  I wish though, that they put more sauce into this dish - it'll make the dish more enjoyable. 



My Panget's Longganisa Hash was quite a disappointment because of the serving size.  Comparing it to the fries and sausages and the asian rice bowl - it was quite small - you'd see how lost the food was in the plate.  Taste wise, my Panget said it was nothing special - he thought that for the price, they could have added more longganisa.

Service was superb though, all waiters were very attentive and accommodating.  Our order taker went as far as asking the kitchen if they could serve me their version of Eggs Benedict (because their breakfast menu was only until 3PM).  I appreciated that he tried, even if they kitchen declined my request.  There was effort on his part - and I think that was whats important.

I'm sure to come back to taste their desserts because I know for a fact that their Strawberry Shortcake is really good!  They didn't have one in the restaurant, but starting next week - they'll be serving it. 

This restaurant is from the same people who opened Goodles in Robinson's Galleria.  I remember them because I saw them in Yummy Eats last year in Rockwell.

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
