Green Pastures: Original Local Organic

I finally FINALLY got to try Green Pastures and I super loved it, looooooooved it!

I know, I am gushing - but in all seriousness, I really really liked the meal and the service.

It's been open for a long while now, but since we were always battling the Sunday lunch crowd - well, it was always that we were the 10th in line or so. And a few weeks ago, we finally got to try it! To be honest, that Sunday I wasn't too keen on being able to dine in Green Pastures - I left my name and number but since my Panget deemed it was still too early for lunch, we walked to Rustan's first. It was when we got out of Rustan's that my Panget told me that he wanted to try our luck in Green Pastures - and since there was a Mass ongoing - I told him to hurry, because in less than a few minutes the lunch crowd would be surging! I think I was brisk walking - I was so scared to be left behind since I really wanted to try the restaurant. We got there just in the nick of time - PERFECT actually! So we placed our orders. Our server Wilton has very good! He is charming and very knowledgeable on the menu and I like that. He was also very attentive to our needs.

So here are what we got, please forgive the photos!!

Duck YOU, Duck You fries!! I loved this (since I am a fan of fries) The kids loved it too!

I can eat just this! Thus, next time - I'll order it again, in 2s! Hahaha..

The Farmhouse Salad

This is the MOST refreshing salad that I have ever came across. The portion looked small if you ask me, but when you mix it up and start eating - it seemed neverending! Hahaha. Am I making sense? It seemed like the salad was not depleting! My Panget and I had a hard time finishing it! I shared this to the Yayas and they loved it as well!

Roasted Organic Chicken

This was not the prettiest (of all the food that we ordered). The taste was also so-so but I guess since it was organic, it was healthier. Kailee and Connor ate this and they liked it. I think it lacked a punch but then again, what do I know right? Haha! I think I would have preferred the fried chicken version.

80/20 Burger

To be honest, I forgot why its called 80/20 but I don't care anymore because it was soooooooooo good! I mean really really really good! And to think that I had only 2 bites. 2 bites! It was because my Panget wasn't sharing with me. He ate it all! The cumin sauce/dip was sooo good too! I love Cumin! My Panget was so in love with the taste that he REFUSED to share with me! I had to beg for those 2 bites! Hahaha. It's really funny because when it was served, my Panget was all wanting to be proper and didn't know how to eat the burger - he then decided to use a for and a knife and then later on just decided to eat it with his hands! And I think that made the meal more enjoyable for him. Made the burger dish more good! Hahaha.. It's the mess, you see!

Carbonara Pasta

When it was served, I was thinking - WTH? It looked so sad! But I guess looks can be deceiving because the way I ate it made all the difference! Hahaha.. I had to cut up the really yummy bacon and then place it on the pasta before I put it in my mouth. Such joy and wonder this little taks makes! Its so good! If you're one who enjoys the meaty bacon, then you have to try this! I loved the bacon, it's the real bacon! Macho bacon.

So there you have it! I had such a wonderful wonderful time. Our server Wilton made the experience even more enjoyable. He was always asking us if we needed anything - wonderful customer service right? He was trained very very well.

I know this is late, but Congratulations Chef Robby Goco! You did it once again!

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
