Mama Lou's Nuvali

Last year, I saw tweets of friends mentioning Mama Lou's - an Italian kitchen in the South.  It got me curious, so I followed them on Twitter.  I've been hearing how good their food was and I was so interested to try it.  Unfortunately -we're located on opposite sides of the Metro.  It was quite difficult for me to travel to the south and Mama Lou's doesn't deliver to QC.



And so for months, I just contented myself with seeing tweet, and images on Instagram.  I even had a twitter conversation with Mama Lou's of how much I wanted to try their place out.  They kept telling me to visit - but I never found the time.  Then a few weeks ago - I was invited to go to Tagaytay - I gathered that on the way back - I just HAD to visit Mama Lou's.  And so I sent them a message on Twitter and FB of my intended visit to their Aguirre branch.  My doctor friends have told me that if I had the chance - to visit their BF Aguirre branch since it was more homey compared to their Nuvali branch.  And so I made a reservation - and I was too excited, honestly.  Hahaha!!

But that day came - and I decided that I should just go to their Nuvali branch, as it was  (more) on the way home.  Sorry Tina - that I forced you to tag along!  Hahha..  I sent a message that I was visiting the Nuval branch instead and they were so nice to assist me, my friend Tina and her kids J and S.



Since Tina and I were on the clock, we just decided to order take out.  I got two kinds of pasta and two kinds of pizza (since, I loooove pizza).  While waiting for our orders - the manager, Joel served us their very own Iced Tea - and it was really really good!  Thank you Joel!



I ordered the Spaghetti Seafood Olio and the Risotto Tartufo.  I apologize, but I wasn't able to take pictures anymore since my Panget ate them when I got home.  The Spaghetti Seafood Olio was really good, I mean really good if you like the Olio kind of sauce.  The flavor is strong and there were really seafood pieces - clams, shrimp and fish!

These pizzas below I was able to stop him before he got a few pieces.  Hahaha!


And here they are!!



This is Mama Lou's Special
They gave us extra arugula!  I sooooo love arugulaaaa...




and this is the Pizza Salsiccia

I love that the pizzas are thin!  Hahaha..  You know how I eat these kinds of pizza?  I put one on top of another and munch on.  So, I eat 2 pieces at a time.  Yes - TAKAW!!  Haha!! But seriously, they're really good!

Considering that we had these for dinner and they were in transit for about 2 hours - they're still surprisingly good!  I'm sure it'll be even better when we eat it fresh off the kitchen.  

I would definitely go back when I'm in the area.

Thank you Mama Lou's being so engaging on Twitter!  Thank you for welcoming us in your Nuvali branch.  I'm sure to see you again!!

Total damage for 2 pizzas and pastas P1,500.00


Chrissie - I ordered the Poutine but I only realized that it wasn't given to me when I got home.  I checked my bill and they weren't able to punch my order in.  Sigh...  Next time, when I dine in - I will be sure to order all of your recommendations.  I'll make sure to invite you and Miffy!  Hihi...

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
