Choi Garden SM Megamall

It was a rainy Sunday but we're scheduled to watch a movie so we decided to just eat an early dinner before the movie. And since I was able to visit Choi Garden the previous week and fell in-love with the baked pork buns, I wanted another round.

Eng Bee Tin's Huge Mooncake

Breakfast with my mommymates have been postponed for a week due to the typhoon and since we're back in school today after a week-long vacay, we scheduled a breakfast date in Manila's Chinatown (our default breakfast area). I arrived first and since most establishments there were still closed (still too early), I decided to wait for J at Chuan Kee (had a bowl of congee). Luckily, J didn't take long to arrive so we did our errands first while we waited for another friend. And since I've been seeing this giant mooncake at Eng Bee Tin's FB Page, I asked J if we can check it out and take some photos.

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.

Wan Chai Tea House

Me and my mommy-mates haven't been going out much lately because of our different skeds but when we do have time, we make it a point to bond over food and (sometimes) shopping. ;)

We were sked to go to a different restaurant today but because that resto doesn't serve dimsum, we opted to go to Wan Chai. I'm glad I told J and Ina to choose the resto this time since I wanted to taste something new. Actually, I've seen and passed by Wan Chai for so long that I think it is high time to visit it now--- and I'm glad I did. :)

Charlie Wanton Special

Hubby and I have been running around town the whole day today so come dinner time, my energy failed me in the kitchen and I still have to feed hubby and daughter.

Luckily, our house is just walking distance from these fastfood restos --- Shakey's, Jollibee, KFC and Chowking. Then there's also Aling Banang's (tapsilogan), Hosena's (bulalo et al), several lechon manok stalls, numerous carinderias, and Hypermart (lots of food stalls that includes a Mang Inasal branch). But we decided to walk farther (free exercise) until we reached Charlie's.

Pre-Mother's Day Celebration At Gloria Maris Part II

Here's what we ate:


Evil Pig! Look at those scary red eyes. On the other hand, this suckling pig is so GOOD. Crunchy and melts in the mouth skin. I'm drooling now!

Pre-Mother's Day Celebration At Gloria Maris Part I

Had another family celebration at Gloria Maris. Its a joint Mother's Day celebration for Tita B and the rest of the married female cousins including me. Of course the rest of the family are present- nephews and niece. Daughter's the lone niece/granddaughter on my side of the family that time.

Hakaw. Good and bursting!

Jellyfish! Yum yum. I can eat the whole platter. Yes, including the platter- hahaha.  

Pork Siomai. Its good but I try to avoid pork when there's shrimp. So that means I ate a lot of shrimps. ;)

Beef Balls. Didn't taste this. But seeing the empty container afterwards, I guess its delish!

Steamed Shrimps. Guilty!  I think daughter and I ate almost half of it. Yikes!
