NOW OPEN: Kantina (Lugaw, Tapsi, Atbp.)

KANTINA (Lugaw, Tapsi, Atbp.)

Bonifacio St., Brgy. Rafael Rueda Sr., San Jose City,

Nueva Ecija (near Baliwag Terminal)

So I am back. I've never been busy this much since I am schooling. Alam mo na syempre pag college, you experience sleepless nights reviewing for the major exams (Prelims and Finals) and of course the 'the-shit', I mean the thesis which we call ours, Marketing Plan. But really, I missed being busy.

One thing that keeps me so busy right now is this newly opened business of my Mama together with her two sisters. It opened last October 30, and since then my sleeping habits became disastrous. I became nocturnal bantay sa gabi. But yeah, I'm enjoying it.

So here's our Menu:

As of the moment, we only have 2 kinds of meals, the Lugaw Varieties and the Silog Meals. But don't you worry guys, this is only an introduction for our Menu, we're still trying to work things out for the additional set of menu.

Here are some of the food I already tried, and no bias, it was all good. 

Tapsilog (Php 75) - Personal favorite of mine, beef tapa with garlic rice, fried egg and atsara. This is  Mama's very own recipe. 

Chixilog (Php 65) - This one is Tita Ellen's recipe; 3 pcs. chicken lollipop, garlic rice, fried egg and atsara. 

Porksilog (Php 65) - Fried porkchop, garlic rice, fried egg, and of course our specialty made atsara. 

Tocilog (Php 65) - Pork tocino, garlic rice, fried egg and atsara.

Of course, it won't be complete without our thirst quencher drinks. Here we have Red Iced Tea and my Tita Ogie's special Sago't Gulaman.

Red Iced Tea (Php 25)

Sago't Gulaman (Php 20)

Thank you to my friends who come and visit Kantina during its opening week. I appreciate it. Thanks guys!

Special thanks to Yasmin for being our most valued customer! :))

So guys, if you're near San Jose City area, you might wanna visit our newly opened restaurant, Kantina. And I assure you will enjoy our Pinoy na Pinoy food there. See you!

Happy eating!

16th FAVE EATS: S&R New York Cheesecake

Wow! Just like that and it's November already. Christmas is really fast approaching, coming in like a snap of a finger. And what I am excited about Christmas, of course aside from the gifts and aguinaldos I'm going to receive haha, is the non-stop eating of sinful lechon and hamon. 


And also don't forget my favorite queso de bola which is for me the star of Noche Buena.

 S&R NEW YORK CHEESECAKE

(Php 99)

Gulat kayo? Yeah, it's only Php 99. I know it's cheap for a cheesecake but trust me on this, it's really good. Although I didn't like much the bottom crust of the cake coz it tastes a bit dusty (parang madumi sa bibig haha), I still devoured the whole thing in no time. 

15th FAVE EATS: S&R's Pizza Combo

Are you an Italian wannabe who likes to eat pizza, pasta, and calzone?


Or are you loyal to Pinoy spaghetti, pancit palabok, and pancit Malabon?


Well, maybe it's time to bring out the Nicolas Cage and Al Pacino in you!

S&R NY STYLE PIZZA COMBO 

(Php 549)

Are you guys ready for the big, big, big, I mean BIG SURPRISE?

(Yeah, I know, it's already half; I really can't control myself eating)

This pizza combo consists of beef, pepperoni, olives, onion, green bell-pepper, mozzarella cheese and other cheeses. Looks so simple, yeah, but it's not your ordinary pizza. It's so big, trust me, yet it's so affordable for only Php 549/ whole. 

I ask them to cut my pizza in 12 slices, although we're only 3 who'll gonna eat this, and still a single slice is big enough for a single meal (not of course with my oh-so big tummy). The pizza is also topped generously, with lots of pepperoni and cheese which I really enjoy eating. Also the taste of the crust can be boastful for your last bite to your pizza. So delicioso!

And what's really crazy about this pizza is this mayonnaise! It's not only catsup or hot sauce but also with mayo this time.

Gross? Uh-uh! Yeah, at first I was like "No way! Mayo on pizza? WTF!" But when I try it, hell yeah for it's heavenly goodness! You better try it yourself and find out what it really tastes like.

RATING: 9 of 10

Bon Appétit!

14th FAVE EATS: Crema de Fruta @ Edna's Bakeshop

Wow! It's been raining all day today. Non-stop. Is it really like this during Christmas season, pouring rain, rain and rain? Is it uso to have typhoons during Ber-months? Or is it just because of the global warming? Poor us.


Anyway, just a short story about my on-the-job appraisal training. I've been learning so much about jewelry appraisal techniques and operations. I'm enjoying this, really. 


Okay, I'm done. I told you, it's only short. And another super short thing, I still have a badminton tournament to catch up tomorrow and please if you happen to read this post after I published it, please include me in your good-night prayers for me to win or to just play well tomorrow. Thank you, I appreciate it. :)

CREMA DE FRUTA 

Edna's Cakeland,

Cabanatuan City, Nueva Ecija

Edna's Cakeland has been a family favorite a long-long time ago. They offer a different kind of specialty desserts and this Crema de Fruta is one of the best! 

13th FAVE EATS: Nai Cha @ Chowking

Hey. Hey. Hey! Guess who's back? 


Wow! I missed you guys. I've been so busy this past week coz I'm already having my on-the-job appraisal training in Muñoz City, NE. And I can't find extra time on blogging, but don't you worry my fellow bloggers, I read all your posts (of course, only to those blogs I follow). Okay, this one's getting longer, I must stop now. 

NaiCha Pearl Milk Tea (Php 43)

Chowking

Okay please, don't believe this picture it's deceiving us. This one is for promotional purposes only, this isn't the real deal here.

And this is the real one. See the difference? It's always konti sa totoong buhay. Kaya wag kang maniwala sa picture, niloloko lang tayo nyan. 

12th FAVE EATS: Iced Salted Caramel Mocha

On the second to the last day of my appraisal training, I got a chance to go out and celebrate a night with my cousin, Yasmin. Shame on me of thinking twice whether to leave that night or to just stay at my cousin's condo and rest. Buti na lang at sinipag ako. 


We just watched a comedy movie which I honestly enjoyed that I kept on laughing and laughing 'til the end of the show. Yeah, but not to mention the title 'coz it's a bit embarrassing, ang corny eh pero natawa naman ako. So please understand.


Oh well that's only an introduction to my post. Sorry.

Iced Salted Caramel Mocha (Php 160, Grande)

@ Starbucks, Greenbelt 3

It's Starbucks' latest coffee-based drink. I think it was only last September when they released this, I'm not sure. Caramel mocha whether it's iced, hot, or blended coffee, it's one of their signature drinks. But this salted one was new. 

11th FAVE EATS: Angel's Meal @ Heaven's Barbeque

In my 1 week stay here in Makati for my appraisal training, every night is a "pahirapan-kung-saan-kakain" night for us. So last Wednesday night, my cousin and I decided to eat at the nearest street with food trip-ings, in Malugay Street.


If you haven't had any idea where it is located, go Google it (just kidding haha). It's along Buendia Ave/ Gil Puyat Ave in Makati.

10th FAVE EATS: Half-Pounder @ Sunrise Buckets

Finally, I got the chance to try this famous Sunrise Buckets' buffalo wings. Thanks Sam for having lunch with me. I missed this. (Yeheees!)


And also, thanks to Apple Map for this oh-so-helpful directions.

If you're coming from Greenhills Shopping Center, (1) make a turn at Club Filipino Drive, (2) turn left onto Madison, and (3) then arrive at Madison Square where Sunrise Buckets is located.

Their Awesome-Wipeout-Cloud-9 set of wings. If you're a first timer like me, malilito ka for sure kung ano ang io-order mo.

9th FAVE EATS: Devil's Mocha Cake @ Figaro

Okay, this is really unforgivable! It's been 4 boring days having no Internet connection from that fucking Digitel Telecom. Yeah, fine, I get it, you're finally dissolving your turtle-like connection. Thank you for that, or should I better thank the PLDT for  buying your needless company & making this clever decision possible. Adios sa wakas!


Okay, enough for the complaints, respect to that controversial Cybercrime Prevention Act, so I rest my case. (I shut up)

DEVIL'S MOCHA CAKE 

(P119.00)

@ Figaro, Greenbelt 3

I must admit, this is one of the best mocha cake I've ever tasted. I'm not really a fan of mocha or chocolate cakes, I usually go for my favorite cheesecake, (Oreo, strawberry, blueberry, New York, anything basta cheesecake) but this one really goes to my liking. 

RUN Post # 4: Coming back at Adidas KOTR 2012 16.8K Run

Runner:   17184
Event:      16.8 K
Time:       1 hour, 53 mins, & 3 secs

Btw sorry for posting this late for I have no Internet connection since Monday, DIGITEL SUCKS, that I need to write it down first on a piece of paper just to freshly remember my thoughts on this blog post. (Yeah, I have a not-so-sharp memory) Pens are still sharper than brains just so you know. 


And another thing, thank you to Ate Cheena for generously sharing her super bilis na PLDT Internet to me. Without it, baka sa December ko na mai-post 'to.


Oh well here it goes. . .

ADIDAS KING OF THE ROAD 2012

@ Bonifacio Global City, Taguig

5K, 10K, 16.8K

I joined the not so usual event in marathons, the 16.8K run, an approximately 10 mile run. I do not have any idea behind this event, why's it not the usual exact half-marathon, 21K event? Bakit pa may gansal na 800 meters? Pauso lang ba 'to ng Adidas? Tell me please. 

So here are some of my pictures in action!
