Merienda Cena At Chef Jessie Rockwell Club

Our supposedly short visit to daughter's madrina ended up with merienda cena at Chef Jessie Rockwell Club.

Salad a la Jose Mari Chan. Heart of palm on a bed of alugbati. This salad is just divine. Tastes simple yet refreshing. The fresh alugbati micro leaves has a nice crunch and the sweetish vinaigrette complements it perfectly. The "ubod" or heart of palm has a light pickled flavor that is so good I want it paired with fried fish- hehe.

Fridays Fridays

Celebrating Thursday night at TGI Fridays! It was a fun Thursday night since my group of mommymates was reunited with C who is now based in Cebu.

Ceasar Salad. Nothing unusual, still tasted the same. Yum!

Lunch At Brent

January 31, 2013

Arrived in Baguio earlier than usual so instead of asking W to pick us up (me and daughter) at the bus station, we decided to just take the cab and surprise W and M at home. And yes, they were really surprised since they are still in their jammies when we arrived on their doorstep. Hahaha.

We can't resist not joining them for breakfast- hot cocoa (very apt for that cold morn) and toasted bread and jam. Then we had an hour or two to kill before lunchtime so we just lazed around in the attic- our assigned room. Actually, daughter and I love the attic since we already slept there during our first stay with W and M.

Something Old ...

These are old, old photos that I seem to have forgotten to upload. Actually, I still have tons of food photos/restaurants that I haven't uploaded yet. So I'll just blog about them randomly.

Tokyo Cafe. The photos was taken around 2009 or 2010, I think. I fell in love with the food there because its comfortingly delicious.

White Seafood Pizza. This is my all-time fave at Tokyo Cafe. Soft-thin crust.

Seafood Pasta. There's a hint of spiciness that will make you crave for more. Yum!

Salad. I forgot what they call this salad. Its good. But then, I'm not really into salads. ;)

Wendy's Salad Bowl


Costs P25 I think. Its okay if there are no other food choices and if one is on a DIET and a BUDGET.




This used to be a favorite years ago when "salad bars" were still popular. I remember me and hubby (then bf) would make tambay at Wendy's Padre Faura branch sometime in the mid-90's. We'd order the eat-all-you-can salad (more like get-all-you -can) and then try to fill the squarish plate with tons of macaroni, cheese, lettuce, pineapples and gelatin (I don't like gelatins but hubby does). Then we'd share a tall glass of iced-tea. Yes, Wendy's serve the best iced-tea compared to Jollibee, McDonald's and KFC.

Chelsea Restaurant in Serendra

Toblerone Torte. I love cakes. I love chocolates.


Salad topped with bacon. Forgot what it's called but it tastes divine.

The pumpkin soup is just so-so for me. I'm not that fond of pumpkin and squash.

A Simple and Healthy Meal

Sometimes I get bored with cooking rice and ulam so I make use of whatever it is that's in the fridge and cook it for lunch or dinner. And since daughetr loves fish (according to her, it is because her Zodiac sign is Pisces), we always have some on the freezer.

I've been hearing good reviews about this resto that serves baked Parmesan Crusted Fish but haven't tasted it yet. Then I was able to taste the pan-fried Parmesan Fish of Conti's but I know that baked fish are much healthier than fried fish.

With that in mind, I asked daughter to grate some cheddar cheese while I marinated the fish with kalamansi, butter and some spices. Then its off to the oven for about 20 minutes. I paired the fish with some lettuce, grapes and apple salad with mixed-berry yogurt as dressing.
