Great minds foods meet!

Panciteria Lido….
I was so happy to know that they opened a branch at SM Fairview. So one Saturday evening (I think it was 6:30pm na) after a tiring day at work, hubz fetch me from work, and we went there to check it. We were still full that time so we decided to have meryenda lang such as …

Soya Milk. A refreshing drink and a MUST-have for those health conscious or to those that want to enjoy it’s goodness. If you like taho, you’ll definetely love this!

Syempre pag chinese restaurant, hindi mawawala ang pancit. We ordered the small serving. It was good for 2 na.
The pancit was really good. Marami syang veggie and it’s not oily, not salty…just prefect.

Chinese Que-kiam. It’s yummy rin. Again it wasn’t oily so it ’s not cloying compared to other Chinese que-kiam na I have tasted.
And finally, my favorite….

Poached Tofu. I recommend that you try this! It goodness melts in your mouth. Sarap!
We will surely be back at Panciteria Lido to try their Roasted Pork Asado and their famous siphon brewed coffee. I cant wait!
According to reviews, they also have branches at Ortigas, Quezon Ave and ofcourse their original restaurant is at Binondo

Chip galore
I was youtubing when I saw this….
If Im not mistaking, it was a 2005 (Jack n Jill) commercial. I love this commercial. The jingle entitled Saya ng Buhay draws how life can be much happier with a companion, a loved one beside you. Very true indeed.
Viewing that video reminds me of those Jack N Jill products that I grew up with such as Chippy, Potato Chips, Chiz Curl, Pretzels and Mr Chips. I must admit, we were not allowed to eat this kind of food but of course as a kid, I would do anything just to have the money for these junkfoods. As I grew older, my love for the said junkfood lessen.
Until recently found this…..

Longanisa again!
Some love hotdogs, others like bacon or corned beef, in my case, I love longanisa….
Longanisa is my all time favorite breakfast. When I was a kid, mom would always buy the longanisa from pampanga’s best. I was a happy kid then. All I thought, it was the only kind living in this part of the world. When I grew older, I was then introduced to longanisang lucban, vigan, alaminos (my favorite so far) and last weekend we had cabanatuan longanisa, same garlic overload as the vigan variety.

Part of a hearty breakfast
just look at that…..the photo made me hungry…kaw ba?!
Happy Monday!!!

LP: Kwentong Dyip

Mula Batanes hanggang Tawi-tawi, mula Palawan hanggang Davao Oriental, saan mang sulok man ng Pilipinas, sa kanayunan man o sa lungsod, siguradong mamumutawi sa iyong mga mata ang sari-saring kulay at disenyo ng libo-libong mga pampublikong dyipni dito lang sa ating bansa. Mayroon rin na de aircon na usually matatagpuan sa Makati. Mayroon ding dyipni na kung tawagin ay patok dahil ito yung mga dyip parang lumilipad sa bilis.
Hindi ako taga UP o nakatira sa lugar na iyon pero pag napapadaan ako dun may nakaktuwang byahe ang mga dyipni doon, UP Ikot at UP Toki pero dahil sa ginawang jogging lane ang isang bahagi ng kalsada sa loob, nawala na ang UP Toki at naging one-way na lang ang mga dumadaang sasakyan.
Maaring hindi lang sa ating bansa mayroon jeep pero masasabi ko na dito lang sa ating bansa mayroong mga ganitong klase ng mga dyip na makikita ang pagkamalikhain ng mga pinoy. Mapa design man o maparuta, napaka creative talaga.
Eto po ang aking lahok sa linggong ito sa Litratong Pinoy.
Happy LP sa lahat.

I want an orange!
We now have the vehicle that replaces our blue (nissan car) just about a month ago

I thank the Lord for that!
Now…We are praying for that orange colored one!

Ganda noh? But not at this place. It’s too as in too expensive. It need not to be that big. I just wanted to have a place where I can call my own
I will patiently wait. With prayers, sipag at more pagtitipid, It’s not impossible! Di ba?!
How about you….What are you wishing for right now?

LP: Imposible ba ito?
Alam nyo ba may purpose ang pag aaral ko ng photography, baking at soon ang driving….
Nag aral ako ng baking dahil hilig ko talaga at gusto ko pa madagdagan ang aking kaalaman in terms of techniques and proper procedure on baking.
Nag take rin ako ng basic course sa photography dahil para sa akin, gusto ko maging pamilyar sa camera ko at ang basic class na aking dinaluhan ay nakatulong para makakuha ako ng magandang shots ng mga portraits at sceneries at syempre ng mga binabake ko.
Sabi ko nga sa last LP entry ko gusto ko rin mag aral ng driving….baket baka itanong mo?
dahil gusto ko magkaroon ng online bakeshop.
At ang pagkakaroon ng online bakeshop kailangan syempre marunong ako mag drive para naman madali ang deliveries at anumang transaction for the business.
Oh di ba may plano ako, hahaha!
Gusto ko kasing maging possible ang pangarap na ito

Caramel Bar-natutunan ko ito sa baking class
Ang magkaroon ng bakeshop…Imposible kaya o posible? Hmmm….
Eto po ang lahok ko sa linggong ito sa Litratong Pinoy na may temang Imposible ba ito? Dalawin naman natin and lahok ng ating mga ka-LP sa Litratong Pinoy.

Meeting with friends
One fine hot Saturday Sunday I dragged my husband to Cafe Metro at Greenbelt 3 to have lunch with blogger friends Dyanie, Kg and Rico.
It was our first time to meet but I tell you, the laughing and story sharing was non stop. It was fun meeting with these guys. Hopefully maulit.
Oh here are the food that we ordered by the way

This is my favorite….it’s Gising gising (wake up-wake up in english). I guess it’s called that way because it will surely wake your senses kasi it’s a bit spicy. This dish was made with vegetables(baguio beans), ground pork and coconut milk. Yummm!

I dont know what this dish is…kasi hindi ko sya tinikman… layo nya kasi sa akin hahahahaha! Basta it’s lechon kawali with kangkong (tama ba Rico?)

and here’s another favorite…chicken with eggplant (ano nga to ulit Rico, hahaha) sorry I really didn’t get the exact name of this dish but It taste good.

I requested for this naman. Crispy tadyang. It was good but nothing spectacular, kahit sa bahay kayang kaya natin tong gawin

and this one is a fancier way of frying Tilapia. Im glad this dish is just infront of me. Kaya siya pinapak ko plus the gising gising.
The five of us enjoyed the food but what we enjoyed most was the getting to know each other part. Dyanie, Kg and Rico, thanks for sharing that wonderful afternoon with us, hubz and I really enjoyed it!
Oh by the way, I did not post our group photo, I wanted you to personally meet us. So kelan kaya?!

Canon in D major
Lately I’ve been very busy with work. Which made me exhausted at the end of the day.
But whenever I hear Pachelbel’s Canon in D Major, all my stress just melts away. It always do the trick for my tired soul. I just close my eyes and listen to it…..it gives me the peace and quiet I wanted. It relaxes me that much!
It has many versions but this one I’m sharing is my favorite:)
Hope you enjoy it!
Happy Weekend!

Odd food name

A native candy from the Philippines
Sundot-kulangot which literally means “poke the booger.” but nah it’s not booger you’ll find inside. It’s actually a sticky kind of sweet made from milled glutinous rice flour mixed with molasses, and served inside pitugo shells, and with a stick to “poke” its sticky substance with.
I wonder why they called it that way? Pwede naman sundot calamay hahahha!!!!
How is everyone?

Sunshine or Rain?

Pretty flower…..the sun made you grow that lovely while the rain made you that healthy!
Sunshine makes me happy, as long as it’s accompanied with warm, pleasant weather. I like it bright and warm however, I do adore the rain. I find it more calming. The peace and warmth I experience is incomparable when it rains. .
Sunshine casts a happy mood over everything, I can go outside and do enjoy stuffs but rain is so awesome especially at night when lulling yourself to sleep, the droplets pounding on the roof…..it’s like a ralaxing music that helps me go to sleep fast.
It’s hard to pick, it’s hard to choose so I guess…..it’s both
You want do you like?
TGIF everyone!
