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.

Learning Mandarin, what method is best?

I studied in a sort of Chinese school for 13 years. So that "sort of' means, I SHOULD know how to speak basic Mandarin right? NOT QUITE!! I studied in a Chinese school where we only get less than an hour of Chinese class daily.  When you think about it, well - one hour a day, should be okay - but the problem is, at that time - it was pure memorization.  The books that we used, were those traditional books that I honestly have no idea what is written in them.  I see Chinese characters and they're just that - Chinese characters without meaning, nothing.  It was not practical if you ask me.  The words we were taught were not used in everyday conversation It was only during my 3rd or 4th year of high school that I realized how important knowing how to speak Chinese was.  It was during a trip to the Chinese border from Hong Kong that while I was going around the mall, I was having a hard time communicating with people who looked like me.  I wa...
