Together It's FUNNER!

Yes, "funner" isn't exactly a valid word. I'm not even sure if it exists. HAHA. 

Anyway, this ice cream on a cone is the epitome of a perfect combination. Soft vanilla and chocolate ice cream swirled amazingly into a crispy sugar cone. 

What I love about this is its extremely good and extremely affordable. 

For only P15.00 at your nearest 7Eleven store, it's enough to give you that ice cream goodness you're looking for. And the vanilla-chocolate combination is perf if you can't decide which flavor to get. 

New fave right here! 

See Food? SEAFOOD!

Dinner out with the fam bam. 

Another resto to try once more. And we decided to for some good grilled food at Lamesa Grill at SM Cebu Northwing. 

Seated on an outside table, feeling the breezy night, I really enjoyed their Seafood Platter. 

A plate of grilled seafood right in front me errbody. Grilled baby mussels, grilled squid, grilled blue marlin, and grilled shrimp. 

Tasted good, but I would have loved it if it were served in bigger portions. I mean, it was called a platter after all. HAHA. 

Work on your serving size, and I'll be back soon. :)

Filipino Choco AGAIN.

Lookie what we have today. 

Just when I had a Chocolate Moron last week at the office, mom brings home a bundle of more of them today. 

I know, I know. It looks pretty weird, and probably disturbing if you're not familiar with the delicacy. HAHA. I don't even wanna continue the thought. Lol. 

This one had more chocolate flavor, and it totally won me over. Chocolate wins anything. HAHA. 

Filipino Choco!

Filipinos take pride on the variety of delicacies offered in every region. 

One of my faves would be Chocolate Suman Moron. And it was provided today by one of our part time employees, Mae. Fresh from Leyte, she brought chocolate moron wrapped in banana leaf. 

Unwrapping suman has always been a challenge for me. It's sticky and needs effort but rewarding when you get the treat inside. HAHA. 

Made with glutinous rice (locally called "malagkit"), and infused with cocoa and/or chocolate. 

Happy office day. Thanks, Mae. :)

Eat Green, Eat Clean!

Dinner tonight was a product of an attempt of a healthy meal and an experiment. 

Not being able to try this recipe yet, we were all excited to have a taste when it finished cooking. 

Weeeeeell, I got a teeny bit excited and had to take a picture when it was still in our wok. Which by the way, is one ancient wok. HAHA. But that's completely besides the point. 

Anyway, now presenting a classic Asian dish, chopsuey (stir fried vegetables in a thick chopsuey sauce), and we mixed it up with my choice of seafood tofu and chicken balls. 

Not your everyday chopsuey, but you will certainly want it everyday. 

It's green, healthy, and super good. :)

Skippin' It Real.

A childhood favorite of mine, peanut butter. 

With this creamy and chunkier version of Skippy, I can eat this just by itself. No bread, no crackers, and even no fruits. 

A few days into buying this uber chunky and smooth Skippy peanut butter, I found myself dipping a teaspoon at least once a day to scoop up a portion. 

I'm cheating myself. I'm cheating on my diet. HAHA. 

A Sweet Breakfast.

Finally recovered from my sore throat. Yay!

To celebrate, I broke my morning streak of not eating breakfast by having one amazing bread by Leona's Cakes and Pastries. 

Being just the right size, it's a moist bread filled with melted chocolate, and topped with chocolate swirls and almond slivers. 

I'm not a big fan of bread, but I certainly am a fan of this. 

Sweet sweet breakfast indeed. :)

We All Get Sore Throats.

Reality bites. But in this case, it decided to scrape up my throat. 

My first few months being part of the best Human Resource team, I can definitely say that I have developed and learned a lot of skills, knowledge and organization. 

One of things I learned is to TALK. Because when you're in HR, you need to talk. A LOT. 

So, all the talking plus the cold AC blowing right in my face (and unfortunately, on my throat), I woke up one day with a sore throat, and a raspy almost-gone voice. 

Since I had to keep talking, I opted to buy a cooler, less sweeter Strepsils to cure the bug. 

Super cool. Super effective. 

The Good Kind of BLUE!

Who would have thought that blue cheese in junk food would be this good?

I was Instagram-stalking (yes, I do that. Lol.) a few days back, and I found a picture of this unique junk food. At that moment, I knew I had to buy myself one of these. HAHA. 

I scoured the Internet, and discovered that they don't sell this much here in Cebu. I was on the verge of giving up. 

However, one fine day, I was at the mall, and I just had lunch with my mom. I had convinced her to go get a cup of frozen yogurt at Golden Spoon. I was standing by the counter and TA-DAAAA . . . a bag of Herr's Buffalo Blue Cheese was standing right there. Yep, right there on the counter. No more questions asked. I instantly got one bag. HAHA. 

Once I tasted it when I got back home, I couldn't believe the favor it has. The tangy flavor of blue cheese incorporated in cheese curls was SURREAL. :)

Munch munch Munchkins!

Craving for a donut. But cutting down on the calorie intake. 

The best way to satisfy the dilemma is to buy a variety of Dunkin Donut's Muchkins. 

Smaller and cuter versions of their classic donuts, just enough to get the sweetness and donut goodness. 

Tonight, the fam and I went out to dinner. And after having a savory meal, I couldn't help but want to end the night with a bit of sweetness. We were passing by a Dunkin Donuts store, and I just knew I had to get some donut. HAHA. 

I honestly stood in front of the counter for a good 5 minutes, trying to think through the best flavor to get. Hmmm. Yes, I'm serious about my donuts. Lol.

At the end, I decided to get 2 pieces of Choco Butternut (my ultimate favorite flavor); 2 pieces of Bavarian Creme (coated with sugar and filled with creamy bavarian); and lastly, 1 piece of classic chocolate munchkin covered with coconut shavings. 

Satisfaction for just P25.00. :)

Sizzle Me.

Everybody who's tasted sizzling, hot, spicy, pork sisig instantly becomes in love with it. And I'm definitely not an exception. 

I've loved Pork Sisig for a long time. And Chikaan sa Cebu's Sizzling Pork Sisig is really good. 

Spicy and sizzling hot, with finely chopped pork, it was enough to satisfy my craving for the night. 

No matter how good it is, however, you have to start eating it while its hot and fresh out of the kitchen and into that sizzling plate. Leave it out in the cold for a second too long, and the pork starts sticking at the pan. And you don't want to have burnt pork sticking at the plate, right? HAHA. 

Cheatin' with some Cheetos!

Cheatday junk food day. 

One of my favorite big bag of cheesy junk food goodness, Cheetos Puffs. 

I don't need to say more on how great and satisfyingly good these puffs are. Just the right size, right crisp, and right cheesiness.

I know I've been saying 'cheese' a lot, so I'm gonna stop. HAHAHA.

Go and grab some at the grocery store nearest yooou!

Beat the Biko.

First, let me explain what biko is. 

Biko is a traditional and classic Filipino delicacy and a favorite of many. It's made from sticky rice (malagkit), brown sugar, coconut milk, and for this one, a hint of zesty lemon. 

Personally, I don't usually go around eating biko all the time, but when a good family friend handed a plateful of this sweet rice, who am I to deny such blessing?

Super love the contrast between the familiar taste of sweet biko and the unique lemon flavor incorporated in it.
