EATs London: Ben's Cookies

I almost forgot about Ben's Cookies!

My friend Tin told me to try them when I happen to see one. I thought, ano kaya yon? And while walking along Oxford Street after shopping in Primark, I suddenly saw Ben's Cookies! I literally ran to the store which was across the street! My Panget was confused, I think because I suddenly disappeared. When I re-appeared, he looked surprised! I'm sure he didn't know what happened. But seeing that I was munching on a cookie - he knew why. Katakawan. Hahaha!!

It was just a small store but the store smelled so delish! They were baking fresh cookies. I already forgot what flavor I picked but man was it good. They hand you the cookie in a paper bag, it's still warm - you need to consume it immediately. Well, that was what I was told by the staff. And I did. It was love at first bite.

The cookie was cooked through and it was chewy. It was warm and it was very good. I closed my eyes after taking the first bite. My gosh - it was soooo good!!

I liked it more because they didn't scrimp on the chocolate. Look at the image above. I was surprised to see a large piece! Hahaha.. :)

I regret not buying more (I bought 2!). But to tell you the truth, I made sure not to finish this cookie. I remember putting it in the ref and leaving it there. The next day, I went to the ref and it was GONE! The culprits are - my in laws (my mother in law, father in law, brother in law and sister in law - and of course my Panget) Hahaha!!

So if you happen to be in London - scout for the nearest Ben's Cookies!

I swear, it's totally worth the calories!!!

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
