The Amazing Johnny Chow

Hubby and cousin J and I had a late dinner here the other night. J and I were supposed to join momsie, daughter and Lilith for dinner but they already ordered room service at Maxims and we don't feel like eating inside the hotel room.

So dinner was a choice between Johnny Chow and Johnny Chow-- hahaha. Can't think of any other place to eat. Besides, I've only eaten here once (with momsie, last February) and I didn't have my camera with me and it was a quick dinner since I have work that time. But whatever it is that we ate then had a lasting impression so I vowed to come back and dine in again.


Spicy Steamed Peanuts. You get this for free while waiting for your orders. I guess this is a healthier option to fried peanuts. ;)


Xiao Long Bao. Tastes okay. But then, I forgot to eat this while its still hot/warm so by the time I had a bite, the texture of the skin was already rubber. Still, the filling was flavorful though.


I was the one who ordered this but I forgot what its called. Quite good also. Nice dish to begin a meal- a conversation piece.


Yang Chow Fried Rice. J and I thought that the serving is just right so we ordered another fried rice but we were wrong. This yang chow is good for 3-4 pax. And I think its delicious since J almost finished the whole order by himself.


Salted Fish Fried Rice. This is what hubby and I shared. Yum! I love salted fish fried rice. :D


Sweet and Sour Pork. J didn't share this with us. Must be good! Hehe


Super Tender Lechon Macau-like dish. I think I'm in pork heaven while eating this. Hubby who usually shuns pork also fell in-love with this dish. I'm definitely coming back for this! :)


We're happy with our dinner and happy with the bill since we were also given a 10% discount for being a RWM card holder. Yey!

Boracay's Hidden Gem: Mama's Fish House

I've always wanted to dine at Mama's Fish House in Boracay but wasn't able to for some forgotten reasons already. Then the pandemic happened and we're in lockdown or limited travel movement for almost two years. And guess what? One of the nicest thing to happen on our recent trip to Boracay was to discover that Mama's Fish House was located just outside the beach front of our hotel- Microtel by Wyndham Boracay . Talk about serendipity! 

Salcedo Market x Legaspi Market Tour

We haven't visited the weekend markets for years so I was giddy with excitement because I was able to visit both Salcedo and Legaspi markets this month, thanks to our Dusit Thani Manila staycation . To differentiate the two, Salcedo market  is held every Saturday at the Jaime Velasquez Park in Salcedo Village Makati while Legaspi market is held every Sunday at the Corinthian Carpark in Legaspi Village Makati. Since we were coming from Dusit Thani Manila, it was quite a long walk but it was early in the morning (around 8AM) and even Ayala and Makati Avenues were still without cars. Wow!
