Hail, Sultan Grill San Juan!

There's a new kid in the neighborhood of San Juan - Sultan Grill!

I've been seeing this place on my IG feeds because friends have been flocking here. Flocking because these friends are not in the same circle. It got me curious!

I received an invite to dine here with mommy friends and I didn't hesitate to say yes. I mean food + kwentuhan galore? That sounds like so much fun!

Sultan Grill is located along Wilson Street in San Juan. You'll need to cross P.Guevarra to reach it but just a few meters and you'll see it on your left side. If you are coming from the other size of Wilson then you'll see it on your right size before you reach P.Guevarra.

I am not so much a fan of these wall tiles when I was younger. I always felt they looked quaint. But I guess with age, I began to appreciate the look and the design. Hahaha! It does remind me so much of the Mediterranean and Persia.

Here are the food that was served us:

Falafel

Falafel's will always always remind me of Ross Geller in the TV show Friends.

I like the texture and the taste. Put some hummus and the flavor pops out!

Plain Yogurt Shake

This is a refreshing shake. If you like tart like me, then this is for you.

There are other flavors like Mango and etc.

Vitamin Boost Salad

Do you know that that Mediterranean cuisine is the best food for Weight Loss?

I read it somewhere and isn't it great? Hahaha!! I so love salads with a twist!

This particular salad has a orange dressing, something I didn't think I'd like, but I loved it!

The image above and below are the Lamb dishes.

I have to confess, I am not a fan of lamb - I tried them and I must admit, it was actually good.

I was worried about the *malansa* taste and these two dishes didn't have that.

Cai and Michelle both loved these two dishes and seeing them take bite after bite.

I'm sure it was really good! Hahaha!!

P.S. The gravy was gooooood!!

Moussaka

This was really good. I love love love Moussaka and this did not disappoint.

Souvlaki Platter

This was my favorite because the beef was so very tender!

I love the onions, bell pepper, fries and salad! This dish costs P380.00 and it's a complete meal!

Here are Cai and Michelle in action!

I failed to take a picture of the Kebab Platter, but that's the dish on the plate (what Cai is taking a pic of) It's a combination of Chicken, Beef, Lamb and Koobideh (ground beef). It's equally good but I like the ones on a stick with veggies (any veggie) Hahahaha!! :)

Above is Sultan's handcrafted Ice Creams.

Nuts and Roses, Basil and Silky Amber.

My personal favorite is the Basil. It grows on you. Every spoonful is different. I find it very refreshing and lovely. Just lovely. Try it!

I enjoyed my dining experience in Sultan Grill. I was concerned on the parking, but you know what - diners still flocked here and to think that it was lunch time! Turnover was high and I was so happy for the manager. Serving are big enough to share and the price point is just right.

If you happen to be in the neighborhood, then come and try out Sultan Grill's newest branch in San Juan. You'll be greeted by smiles from the staff and a very pretty and quaint interiors.

See you there!

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
