Mang Cha-a 2

I dropped by Mang Cha-a this morning and to those who read my blog about them last month, I mentioned there that I wish they have cookies to compliment the tea they offer. When I went there this morning, to my surprise, there were cookies!!!

I was so happy when I saw their cookies in a very cute jar. They have Chocolate Chip cookies for only 20 pesos and Oatmeal Raisin Cookies for 25 pesos. I bought the Chocolate Chip cookie and I must say that it complimented the tea I ordered. I ordered Strawberry Milk Tea with pearl and my husband actually loved their milk tea! He also said that the place was nice. :)

The barista also said they have new flavors to try. They the coconut and mango drinks. I will definitely try it when I come back. I am so happy that the owner of this branch really listened to customer's feedback. Actually, I posted my blog last month to my Facebook page and tagged them. To my surprise, they posted it on their fan page and said that they heard the comments and they will soon have cookies to sell and there they are!

It feels so nice to finally get a customer satisfaction. Haha. If you want to read my first blog about them, click here.

Infinitea

I had a Thursdate with my hubby today and he invited me to try the newly opened Infinitea along Naga Road. We've been meaning to try this tea place but there was none near our place. So when we learned there will be an Infinitea walking distance from our house, I told my husband I want to try their drinks when they opened. 

This is just a small place but when you enter the place, aside from the very cold place, the place was very alive and happy because of the colors inside the place.

My husband was seating on a comfy couch which I really love. :) Next to him is a very nice and bright chair. Isn't the chair nice?

At my back is the counter where you will place your order. We were seated near the counter.

This is the counter. They have the menu available for you to see aside from the ones posted on their wall (was not able to take a photo of it). The drinks here ranges from 50 pesos to 120 pesos, depending on what type of drinks you order.

Does this look familiar? Yes. This is the same with Mang Cha-a's wall where you can stick or post notes or messages to anyone.A friend told me this branch had their soft opening last Thursday and with the look of this board, it seems a lot had been here already.

By the way, when you order their drinks, they will ask you for the sugar level. This is interesting, huh? Me and my hubby chose quarter sugar or 25% sugar.

My hubby ordered Almond Milk Tea (50 pesos) and I ordered Green Tea Frappe (80 pesos). To my dismay, my frappe was "matabang" and I was thinking that maybe, when you order a frappe you should increase the sugar level. I tasted my hubby's Almond Milk Tea and it tasted good and you can really taste the almond flavor. I didn't finish my drink and gave it to my sister for her to taste and she commented the same thing, "matabang". I don't blame the barista because I was the one who chose 25% sugar level. At least now, I know and I should have asked questions from them. 

And the same sentiments for this tea shop, they should offer cookies or something. I saw Doritos over the counter but I'm sure it's expensive than your 50 pesos milk tea. But the place is great, the colors were nice to eyes and it's comfortable there. Will definitely try another drink because I have a tea date with a friend this coming Saturday and next Wednesday to this same Infinitea branch. I will post the photos of the new drinks I will try.

Fiesta Spaghetti

I noticed that I haven't posted any pasta dish here in my blog even though I am a super fan of Spaghetti. I was looking for the tipid pack of Del Monte Spaghetti but I didn't find one and I saw this Fiesta Tipid Pack. It has 1 kilo of Spaghetti noodles and 1 kilo of Spaghetti sauce plus a free 250 grams of free Spaghetti Sauce. I was intrigued with what it says "plus parmesan cheese" on it so I bought it and it's only for P149.00!

So here's what you need:

1 kilo Fiesta Spaghetti Noodles

1 kg and 250 g Fiesta Spaghetti Sauce

4 pcs regular hotdog, slice into small pieces

P50 ground pork

6 cloves garlic, minced

1 medium onion, chopped

cooking oil

salt and pepper

Water (for the noodles)

How to prepare:

Noodles:

- Boil water. Once water is hot enough, put 1 tbsp of oil and dash of salt.

- Add the noodles. Stir occasionally. Check if noodles is already cooked. Set aside.

Sauce:

- Heat 2 tbsp. oil.

- Saute onion and garlic. Add hotdogs and ground pork.

- Add pepper and salt and saute until ground pork is brown in color.

- Add spaghetti sauce. Allow to simmer for 5 minutes while stirring occasionally.

- Serve.

I didn't know that Fiesta Spaghetti sauce taste so good too! My husband said that the sauce was really good so I am beginning to like this brand now. :)

Happy Eating everyone!
