I still have quezo de bola inside my fridge from last Christmas. So I’ve been adding it a lot in most of my weekend cooking like caldereta, pasta and pies. 

Like last weekend, I added shredded quezo de bola over my  nachos and cheese sauce. Yumm…

The husband and I enjoyed watching our favorite tv show while munching these cheesy chips. Sarap nya in fairness. Kahit cheese lang on top. Plain, simple and good.

Next time, will add ground beef and veggies to make it more yummy….oh men calories hahaha!

Nachos and cheese anyone?

I have to thank Bley  for introducing The Cake Planet Cafe in her blog. She was so right about this coffee shop. It serves finest lavazza coffee and yummy cakes.

So last weekend, after paying a visit to my in-laws, we headed straight to Cake Planet Cafe. Upon entering , hubs and I was greeted with nice hellos  from the two barista. While I was looking at their cake rack, the barista suggested their best seller Chocolate Macadamia Sansrival and the turtle pie. I remembered, that Bley order this both. So I gave it a try.

Chocolate Macadamia Sansrival

Turle Pie

I also ordered a plate of  pasta.

I must say, they not only serve good cakes but yummy pasta too. Hubs and I shared this plate of puttanesca. The pasta was firm, the sauce was perfectly blended. Yum yum.

Oh wait…dont forget to ask for their wifi password to get connected.  (I think, there is a minimum amount of purchase before they will give the password to customers).

Of course, my 1.5 hour travel from quezon city to bicutan wouldn’t be complete if I wont have a good cup of brewed coffee

Simply heavenly…

From the love of drinking Lavazza coffee to trying their desserts,  I must say…it’s a win…win place. This totally changed the “just another coffee shop – thing” to being a regular customer, too bad  Cake Planet is too far from our place, nevertheless, I told hubz to visit it whenever we visit the in laws.  

I have always loved Chinese food kaya after that bad experiene with this chinese fastfood,  I was really in dismay. Why you may asked…

Because whenever I have this craving over chinese food, that Imbyerna Fastfood  is my fix. But after of that bad experience, I promised my self not to set foot on that branch (infront of farmer’s Cubao) again and slowly trying to avoid to eat in all it’s branches.  Yun na!

Anyway, as I’ve said, I would always love chinese food, kaya last week hubz and I had dinner at North Park. 

Because it was raining that time, we opted to have noodles.

Left was my bowl of Nanking Beef & Aniseed Beef Tendon.   The soup is amazing. You could really taste the beef in the soup. The Nanking beef and Beef Tendon (litid) was tender and flavorful. I loved it. With this soup you could never go wrong.  The other serving was Hubz choice, Fresh Prawn Dumpling & Nanking Beef . According to him, it tasted really good. Like the noodle soup I had, he enjoyed the hefty serving. :-)

Hubz also ordered chicken feet.

Well, I am not a fan of chicken feet. So he finished everything.  Masarap siguro kasi naubos nya.

We don’t usually order any drinks except water. It added fullness sa tummy kasi but, there is this drink that captured my attention so I ordered a glass of cold Chrysanthemum Juice.

After my first sip, I just made a mental note, not to try the Cold Chrysanthemum Juice ever again, quite a waste of excitement. It tasted like brown sugar dissolved in cold water hahaha.

Then after 2 days we went back to North Park to have dinner again, I just cant get enough. This time, we had a full dinner, as in full talaga.

We had fried rice with special sauce.  I think this is the most budget-friendly item in the North Park Menu. Priced 203 pesos, it includes a huge serving of fried rice that can be good for 3 people, and the sauce to be served separate from the rice, can be your viand already. The sauce has sliced mushrooms, asado strips, fish cakes, and vegetable in there.  Actually I did not know that this would a big serving so I ordered more…takaw!

Left… is the lechon macau.  The skin was really, really crunchy and the meat was deep fried, cholesterol pero how can I resist such goodness.

at the right naman  is my personal favorite Fried Beancurd Skin w/ Shitake Mushroom in Soy Sauce.   I love tofu kasi, though this dish is just like fried tofu, yun nga lang, eto yung skin ng tofu, deep fried then topped with shitake mushroom. Masarap pa rin sya sa akin.

Overall, we had our tummies filled, warm, and happy. Cannot wait to comeback to try their other dishes.

I love breakfast. Good breakfasts make my day right. Kaso lately I’ve been eating breakfst at Jollibee or Mcdo. Nakakasawa na. So I decided to woke up a bit early to prepare breakfast today. Minsan, minsan ko lang magawa ang mag breakfast sa house, extra effort kasi talaga ang pag gising ng mas maaga.

Anyway, here is today’s breakfst – hotdogs, sunny side egg and 2 slices of wheat bread.

Worth ang pag gising ko ng mas maaga.

What is your breakfast today?
