Dumpin' Dumplings!

For my lunch today, I wanted something light but satisfying.

Sooo, I chose Cobo's Kutchai Dumplings! Three pieces of deep-fried dumplings, stuffed with potatoes, carrots, celery, and other vegetables, wrapped in a crispy dumpling roll. 

The best thing about this was it's healthy, since it was packed with vegetables, and it was at a very friendly price!

Love!

Strawberries, Coffee, and Me : The Cafe Coffee Chronicles Part 7

It's one hot work day. 

I was taking my lunch break from work and I decided on the very last minute to have some nice cold frappuccino! HAHA. 

I was at Cobo and I chose the first frap that caught my eye and my interest. It was Cobo's Strawberry Frappe! The sweet acidity of fresh strawberries ice-blended with your classic bitter coffee, milk, mild sugar, and topped with thick whipped cream.

It was two unusual flavors combined together to form one exceptional and delish frappuccino! I don't regret trying it out! 

So good! Strawberries and coffee are now my new fave! ;)

California Shows Pistachios!

One of my newest favorite snacks!

Kirkland's California Pistachios. All-natural, roasted, and salted pistachios grown and harvested with care in the famous California pistachio farms. 

The best thing about this is that I can indulge in its salty and crunchy goodness without worrying too much about calories and fats. I absolutely hate the fact that I only bought one pack back at Walmart, since they don't sell this awesome pistachios here in Cebu.

Boohoo. I wanna go back to California and buy a box of these! HAHA. 

It's healthy, yummy, and the perf snack for diet freaks like me! ;)

I'm Going Wacko for Choco Wacko!

I've been buying this ever since this flavor came out.

Dunkin Donuts' Choco Wacko has always been one of the my fave snacks and one of the best comfort foods I eat. 

For lunch time, I wanted a chocolate rush and I chose to get one Choco Wacko to satisfy that craving. One big moist chocolate doughnut, covered in a thick chocolate coat. 

Full chocolate inside and out! Chocogasm. Mmm. 

Ready for work afternoon work again! ;)

End the Night with Chocolate!

Before this holiday ends, I chose to indulge myself. 

And what better way to end an awesome dinner with some chocolate? HAHA.

I opted for a Choco Fudge shake at Black Pearl. Creamy, rich chocolate fudge shake with chewy black pearls to add some fun! 

Super chocolatey, super chocogasm, super thick, and super cheap! 

Definitely buying here again!

Go Go Go, Bento!

When you say Japanese food, one of the first things you think about is BENTO.

Here at Rai Rai Ken, they give you a classic and complete Japanese bento box with their Rai Rai Ken Bento!

A bowl of Japanese rice, miso soup, two golden-brown gyozas (fried dumplings), two pieces of crispy chicken lollipops, two pieces of Ebi tempura (shrimp wrapped in flour), beef yakiniku, and stir-fried beansprouts. 

It has protein, vegetables, seafood, and carbs all in one bento box. It's a full meal without the high risk of fat, since Japanese food capitalizes on protein-rich food. 

One of my fave Japanese cuisine everr!

Japan's Twist on a Crab-Corn Soup.

The continuation of our family dinner out for Election night!

Appetizer number two: Rai Rai Ken's Kani Corn Soup. The classic crab and corn soup with Japanese flavors and cooking-style. 

Set in a hotpot, it is yummy broth with sweet corn, strips of kani or crab, celery, thin carrot strips, and finished off with poached egg whites. 

What I love about this soup is how savory it is. The sweetness of the corn perfectly balanced out the strong flavors of the crab and broth. 

Sooo good!
