Da Vinci Wishes You a Happy Trip!

Saturdate with M. 

Only this time, this was a date before he left for his 1-week training in Manila. This was our first time not being physically together for a whole week. So, to serve as our 'goodbye' date, we went to Da Vinci's Pizza even through the pouring rain. I also had to come late for a family dinner so M and I could at least spend some quality time. 

Tonight, we decided on a 9" Meat Lover's Pizza : full of mozzarella cheese, ham, bacon, and beef, in a crispy crust. And for our drinks, we each had a can of Four Season's juice. 

Da Vinci's was a perf place for our little date, because it was cozy, warm, and they have really good pizza at an affordable price. 

I'm gonna miss you for one whole week, M! ;)

Na Na Na . . . TUNA!

A new craze is in town.

The combination of corned beef and tuna in a can : Corned Tuna!

And one of the first brands that has a yummy Corned Tuna is San Marino. The timing was perfect today. I was swamped with work, too lazy to go down for dinner, and M had cans of corned tuna kept in his drawer. HAHA. 

I picked out the Chili Corned Tuna and ate it by itself for dinner. It's good, healthy, and spicy! ;)

Smokin' and Sizzlin' Sisig!

Sunday lunch, and the fam discovered this amazing food stall at the Food Court. 

Among the food stalls at the SM Consolacion Food Court, the longest line of people were in Smokin' Toppings. So, we followed the 'trend' and saw why it had the longest line. 

There was a variety of incredibly delish, sizzling hot, and very affordable meals in there. 

As my first meal here, I chose their Sizzling Sisig. It was a hefty serving of original Filipino sisig, a cup of yummy white rice, and a side of pancit, all in a sizzling plate - and all for just 79php. 

Really goooood. 

Cheesy Moments.

We're as cheesy as this bucket of Jumbo Fries. ;)

Today, M was out of the office for some field work at our other branch. He was to come back around 2pm to continue regular work here. And, it so happened that M was at a nearby mall, and that mall also happened to have a Potato Corner store. 

As a kid, I used to pass by and sniff the yummy smell of freshly cooked french fries at a small Potato Corner stall at the old SM Cebu. That time, Potato Corner was a bit too pricey for me. I mean, being a kid also meant having a smaller amount of money to spare. And I was too shy to ask my mother to buy me a pack, since it was too expensive. HAHA. 

I haven't had this for a long time, and I was jokingly telling M that he had to buy me some Potato Corner fries when he got back from the office. 

And when I got his "I'm here. Come meet me at the old conference room.", I was curious. But, lo and behold, he was standing there with a sealed plastic. Since we were at office premises, we were only allowed minimal interaction, so, he held out the bag and went his way to the office. I had to wait a few minutes to walk in next. When I opened the plastic bag, there it was. 

My favorite cheese-flavored Potato Corner french fries in a jumbo bucket. 

Thanks M. Made my day. :)

ChocNut For Me!

The second time for my ChocNut adventures. 

Although in another differently-designed package, the new ChocNut is still bigger, sweeter, and better. 

This time, this was a 24-piece pack of ChocNut plastic bag, brought home by my mother for all the kids at heart at home. And that means all four of us at home. HAHA

The love for ChocNut runs in the blood and in our sugar levels. ;)

Another Bo Froccino : The Cafe Coffee Chronicles Part 10

The cold evening air did not stop us. 

M and I were seated at a corner table at Insular Square's Bo's Coffee. We were having their infamous froccinos while chillaxing from the office. 

Tonight, I ordered their Chocolate Chip Froccino. It was a blend of coffee, little bits of chocolate chips, and their yummy whipped cream. 

I have to admit though, that Bo's whipped cream is not as spectacular as Starbuck's whipped cream, but it definitely comes close! HAHA. 

It was a good and relaxing night, indeed. :)

Steaks are High Tonight!

Sundate with M. 

After a nice afternoon together, we got hungry and stopped by Insular Square mall for some dinner. And a steak dish was the best ending for the day. 

Jonie's House Steak : tender grilled beef, with yummy gravy, rice, and a side of steamed vegetables in a sizzling plate. The beef was seasoned well, and grilled just right. 

It's a classic. It's affordable. It's delicious.
