Bake Mac

My sister made Bake Mac today. She prepared this for my daughter's birthday tomorrow. I am not sure about the steps and ingredients of this delicious pasta but I will make one one of these days. I super love the white sauce! Happy Tummy!

McDonald's Shake Shake Fries

McDonald's Shake Shake Fries is back! I am so happy when my husband brought home this as pasalubong for me and my daughter. I super love their barbecue flavored fries!

Like their Twister Fries, this Shake Shake Fries is just so seasonal. I am not sure though how they decide on when to offer these. But anyway, I am so glad they're back! The one my husband brought home last night was cheese flavor. I am looking forward to try sour cream flavor soon!

Mang Cha-a

I am not a fan of tea, but when a friend told me about Mang Cha-a which somehow near to our place, I said yes. However, due to some circumstances, the first time I went there, I was alone. It was last Saturday and it was raining and it was a perfect time to unwind and relax.

When I entered the place, I fell in love. The colors were so perfect! I was in love with the set up of the place. So I took a photo of almost everything nice there so I can share them with you.

This is the cute wall they have where you can post notes to your friends, to Mang Cha-a, or to anyone.

When I first visited them last Saturday, I ordered Chocolate Oreo Milk Tea. I ordered the large one. I was so full and I love this drink! This is also best for kids, in fact this is one of their best sellers for kids. Since this is a large drink, it costs P80.00 and I added pearls for P10.00

This is the view from my table. It was raining when I went there.

A lovely corner. There were three nice high chairs at the corner. I love it.

This is how it looks like when you enter Mang Cha-a. You will see nice colors of chairs, which I love and a very nice cozy environment.

I also love these photos they hang on the wall. I think these are the customers they had when this branch first opened. Cute clips!

Super duper love polkadots! I love this wall so much! This may be a small corner and space but this looks so nice and neat.

We visited the place again today. I tried one of their best seller Wintermelon Milk Tea. At first, at the sound of the name of the drink, I was not impressed and I was actually hesitant to try that, but since it's my second visit, I think it's only fair that I try another drink, so I decided to order their Wintermelon Milk Tea with Pearls.

This is their regular Mang Cha-a Wintermelon MIlk Tea for P55.00 only!

The only thing I think they could improve is to maybe sell cookies or chips. They do have Picnic and Tofu chips but I was looking something to munch like cookies or pastries perhaps to compliment the tea. 

What I love about this shop is they have WIFI. They are nice here in fact I know one who works here. I will definitely go back here since this is near to our place and I want to bring my husband and daughter here next time.

If you would like to visit their branch here, this is located near Citadella in CAA Road, Las Pinas City. Major landmark is Southville International School and Las Pinas Doctors Hospital. You will easily locate them because they are the 2nd floor of a building in Citadella. You can also visit their Facebook page Mang Cha-a Citadella.

Chicken Deli

Yesterday, my family had lunch to this newly opened Chicken Deli in Naga Road, Las Pinas City. They opened last August 15 and I was so eager to try out their food. I was so thrilled also because this is just a walking distance from our village so we don't have to ride a cab or jeep or tricycle, but sidecar is an option if you want.

Here's what we ordered:

This is what I ordered, Pork Sisig and this is for P99.00

This is what we ordered for my daughter, chicken bbq and rice for P59.00

They call this Bacolod Express. I must say this is tasty and I like the hot feeling of this. This costs P49.00

I super love ensaladang talong! The bagoong here is so tasty. This is for P39.00

This is what my husband ordered, Liempo with rice for P99.00

We also ordered Iced Tea, priced at P35.00 per large glass and we ordered Tropicana Juice for my daughter for P39.00. Overall, we were satisfied with the service and the food. The people here are attentive, especially when you are running out of rice! Haha. They do have unlimited rice, by the way for the meals they offer like what me and my husband ordered.

This are good deals they offer for family or groups who wants to eat here and try different food they offer.

Like the other Inasal food stores, they also offer free "sinigang" soup while you're waiting for your food.

Took photos of their menu posted on their cashier section.

We will definitely go back here because, one, it's so near to our place it's so accessible. Two, they have nice food selection and I have yet to try their merienda and panghimagas food which I will try on my next visit.

I am sure of the branches they have in Metro Manila but you can check their FB page for more information.

Sbarro's Chicago Deep

Yesterday, a good friend of mine delivered this mouthwatering pizza to my doorstep! Oh it feels like heaven.

I've been a long time fan of Sbarro, I've been eating their pizza since I was in my late college years. When they introduced this Chicago deep, I ordered it and when I tasted it, oh it was really heaven! You will feel so full even just with this one slice. It is stuffed with meat and their tomato dip makes it so perfect.

I am sure how much this cost now but whatever the price is, I am so sure it's so worth it. You better try it for yourself.

Lumpia Patties

We had leftovers of lumpia mix when my husband made this the other day. So we put it in the freezer and told my husband to buy lumpia wrapper so I can cook it the next day. The next day, he forgot to buy lumpia wrapper so what I did is what my sister-in-law called "Lumpia Patties". :)

Here's what you need:

leftover lumpia mix
oil for frying

How to prepare:

- Scoop a spoonful of the lumpia mix and press it and make it like the burger patties.
- Fry.

This is great partnered with sweet chili ketchup. I really love the idea of leftovers reinventing new dishes! Try this one too! If you want the recipe for Lumpiang Shanghai, you can get it here: Lumpiang Shanghai

Sauteed Pork and Baguio Beans

Since I am a fan of Del Monte, I tried one of their recipes I saw on their Facebook account, it's called Sauteed Pork and Baguio Beans.

What you need:

4 cloves garlic, crushed
1 pc medium onion, sliced
2 tbsp DEL MONTE Tomato Paste
150 grams pork kasim, sliced into strips
1 ½ tbsp patis
¼ kg Baguio beans, sliced

How to Prepare:

- Saute garlic, onion and DEL MONTE Tomato Paste in 2 tbsp oil. Add pork and cook until tender.

- Add patis, ¼ tsp pepper, ½ cup water and Baguio beans. Cook for 3 minutes or until Baguio beans are almost tender.

For some reason, what I cooked seems to lack patis on it so I suggest that you check the patis you will put to this dish. This is a very easy recipe and I hope you enjoy it!

Sauteed Sayote with crunchy pork bits

When I had my veggie week here, I cooked Sayote Guisado and I again, cooked sayote but with a little twist. This time, it tastes like the one I ate when I was at my brother's house. Finally was able to cook the exact taste, but mine's not a bit crunchy, but it's still somewhat crunchy. :)

What you need:

3 pcs medium size sayote, sliced into small strips
3 sachets of oyster sauce
1 medium size ginger, chopped
1 medium size onion, chopped
4 cloves garlic, chopped
P40 pork, chopped in small bits
pepper
salt
1/2 cup water

How to prepare:

- In a pan, fry the pork. Do not put oil as oil will eventually come out from the pork. Fry it until crunchy. Set aside.
- In a separate pan, saute garlic, onion and ginger. Add sayote. Add water and let it simmer for 5 minutes.
- Add oyster sauce, pepper and salt.
- Add the crunchy pork bits. Simmer for 2 minutes.

Super easy, right? My husband loved this recipe! Yeay!
