- Put garlic until slightly brown.
- Add potatoes, stirring to make sure potatoes are covered with butter.

Savory

On Heart's Day, we had dinner at Savory in SM Sucat. This is an all time favorite restaurant, plus this is so close to our hearts because this is were we had our first lunch when we got married, together with a few people.

We ordered Yang Chow fried rice, salt and pepper spareribs and a crispy shrimp (I forgot the whole name of it) and buko pandan for our dessert.

We always love eating here! They have a lot of good food. :)

T.G.I. Friday's

I was browsing thru my FB page last night and I saw an album of me and my friends in Friday's Restaurant. I remember we ate there back in 2009 when I was promoted as a Subject Matter Expert. I treated them when I got my first allowance. :)

I forgot the name of the food we ate because I was not the one who chose the food but it was absolutely delicious and worth the price, because it is somehow pricey when you eat here. Just kindly look at the photos I got and maybe when you decide to dine in here, you can also try the food we ordered.

The ice cream with the pink candle was given by Friday's because they thought it was my birthday! Hahaha!!! Yes, they will also sing you a Happy Birthday song when you tell them you're celebrating your birthday and they'll give you a scoop of ice cream with candle on it. 

Hello Kitty

My daughter likes Hello Kitty, and when we went to SM Sucat to buy a skirt for her, she ran into the food section and saw these Hello Kitty foodies.

She didn't like the jellyace though because it has nata de coco on it, she said "Mommy may bato" haha. So we ended up giving it to her cousins.

These can be found in SM Department store food section, where you can also find chocolates and chips. 

Isdaan

This weekend, me and my friends went into a road trip to Baguio! It was all of a sudden and impromptu! And because we were so hungry, we forgot to take pictures of the food we ordered.  We ordered fried tilapia, my favorite green mango salad, pork sisig and rice.

Here are some photos I got from the net and some was taken by my friends. 

Edited:

I just got this photo from my friend's FB page :) She took a photo of our food pala. :)

Bon Chon

The first time I tasted their food was when I had breakfast with my friends in Makati. Their chicken is the best! So I told my hubby to try eating here and when we were in Southmall the other day, we had dinner there. 

We also ordered Chapchae because I was curious what it was and the taste of it. 

It was like Sotanghon (or was it) but thicker. The taste is sweet, I like it. We will definitely go back to this place but there's one more place where my husband wants to eat. I'll post it soon.
