Rise for Rice!

As a true and natural-born Filipino, the love for rice runs in the blood. 

And I must say, one of the best rice dishes I've had is this one right here. Rai Rai Ken's Yakimeshi. Sticky japanese rice, mixed with sauteed sweet pork, egg, and crispy veggies. 

The reason for my love of Japanese rice comes from the fact that their rice is stickier than Filipino rice, and gives you a fuller stomach even with just less than a cup of rice. 

I love the texture that the rice, pork, and veggies when eaten together. Aaaand, it gives you just the right amount of flavor - sweet, tasty, salty. 

One plate of Yakimeshi is enough for your tummy. ;)

Ohayo Sizzling Plate!

My love for beef does not stop with grilling 'em. 

This is my first time trying out beef yakiniku in a sizzling plate at Rai Rai Ken. I used to always have their sauteed version. But today, the fam decided to try out the Sizzling Beef Yakiniku. 

Tender strips of beef, with tasty tasty Japanese-style sauce, with a side of crispy sauteed alfalfa sprouts, and finally finished in a sizzling hot plate. 

Have I told you that everything on a sizzling plate looks more exciting? HAHA. 

Japanese food all the way!

Mini Cake, Mini Happiness!

Who says you need a plate and a fancy design on a pastry to have a 'cake'?

Well, I say that Red Ribbon's Mini Moist Chocolate Cake is the antithesis for that. Wrapped in their signature Red Ribbon snack plastic, it's a mini version of their chocolate cake. Though it's mini and small, the taste is definitely up to par. 

It's moist, and not overly sweet. Seriously can't get enough of this!

The good news is, you can actually buy a 10-pack bag for a cheaper price! 

Grab 'em now! :)

Avocado & Cream at Home!

The fam's newest addiction, Avocados. 

It's avocado season, I am thankful for that. HAHA. We've been having this yummy dessert almost every week now, and I sure am not tired of it yet. Lol. 

With about 7-8 pieces of ripe avocados, mother and I would peel them, mash them, and put them in a big bowl. We then mix in condensed milk and all-purpose cream. A good way to sweeten the avocados and make them extra creamy. Best served when chilled. 

Very healthy, rich in fiber, and a great dessert. 

One of the fam's secret house recipes! 

When All Else Fails, Go INSTANT!

More than 2 months had gone by in the office. 

And you know what? I still haven't got the slightest idea on how to make myself good coffee with the in-house coffee, creamer, and sugar. It either turned out too bitter, too sweet, or too bland from all the hot water. 

I gave up, and here I am with my styro cup and instant coffee sachet. HAHA. Nescafe's Sugar Free 3in1 coffee just saved my day. 

At long last, a balanced coffee. HAHAHA. 

All Clammy!

See food? Seafood!

We were at one of the fam's fave Asian resto at SM Northwing, Spice Fusion. 

Aside from our usual appetizers and entrees, we picked a new seafood dish, Ginger Clams. 

Clam is my fave shells, and I love how you can take an ordinary clam and create a super yummy dish like this one. 

It's spicy, tasty, and the ginger does not overpower the natural clam goodness of the clams. It's healthy, high in protein, served fancy, and definitely a must-try dish. 

No regrets here!

Double Decks Ain't Just for Buses.

Posters were up. 

With KFC's new burger in town, I knew I had to try it one of these days. Lol. 

Here comes Sunday, and its lunch out time with the fam. Perfect timing to finally get that new KFC Burger!

KFC's Double Decker : Two layers of crispy, juicy, and spicy chicken fillet, cheese, lettuce, mayonnaise, and strips of crispy bacon. 

One of the most sinful burgers constructed. For sure. ;)
