Yummy Bee Fastfood

it was nice to see a new restaurant in front of harisson plaza. it's very near my lolo's place and i know he'll like it because he loves chinese food.

"yummy bee fastfood" is the new chinese restaurant along adriatico (in front of HP). the owner owns king bee as well - which is another popular chinese restaurant.

after sepi's visit to his swim class, we decided to try out the new restaurant. yaya, sepi and i enjoyed our lunch very much. i love the fact that their prices are reasonable and the servings are quite generous. we liked everything that we ordered!!! :)

sepi and his noodles! :)

White Grape

just a quick post...i want to share with you my recent discovery ;) the new minute maid white grape flavor is love! :)

i'm not sure if it's available in other stores/groceries already. i bought mine in 7-11. It has bits of real aloe vera pulp and it's really refreshing. Try it! it's good :)

I Love Bon Chon Chicken

last christmas, my family and i decided to try out the restaurants in ayala triangle (stock exchange building along ayala). aside from the nice lights hanging in every tree and the big star lanterns in the park, there are a lot of restaurants along the area. one of the must-try is bon chon chicken.

bon chon chicken is originally from korea and is now available here in manila! i think they also have another branch in greenbelt 1. not so sure if it's already open, though. i first read about this famous chicken in ms cecille's blog - chuvaness and been wanting to try it ever since. bon chon chicken (as what i've read) is a double-fried chicken from korea - the first fry is to remove the chicken fats and to make it really crispy and the second fry includes the sauce.

their chicken parts seem to be smaller than what other chicken house delivers...but as the saying goes "size doesn't matter" or "great things come from small packages" hmmm...tama ba? :) ask your server for spicy mayo. it tastes good with the chicken...

i don't normally eat chicken with my hands especially when dining out but bon chon chicken made me do that. haha! i can't wait to have another round of bon chon chicken! "sarap to the bones!" ;)

Dinner at Buddy's

we wanted to eat in banapple (ayala triangle) but unfortunately it was closed for the new year. we ended up having our dinner at buddy's located at "the link" (building in front of landmark, makati).

the place was jam-packed so we had to wait for a table. while waiting, we ordered our food (self-service by the way). i had to ask the order taker what their specialty dishes are and according to her their pancit lukban is the best-seller.

pancit lucban

one order of pancit lucban is good for 2 to 3 persons already. very affordable at P160. the server gave us a bottle of vinegar and said that it's for the pancit. haha, this is the first time i've tasted pancit with vinegar. it's really good! a must try :)

we also tried their sizzling plates - which is good for 2-3 persons too (i think;) we ordered another best-seller, pork sisig, and sizzling beefsteak. their sizzling plates cost P120 to P160 pesos only and it comes with an order of plain rice.

sizzling sisig with fresh egg

the significant other finished the whole plate! "ang sarap!"was all he could say ;) their beef steak is really good too. the beef is really soft and tender. i love the corn on the side plus the gravy.

sizzling beef steak

we were happy that we ate at buddy's. food is great, attentive servers and affordable menu. will try the lucban longganisa next time. i can't help but look at the guy on the other table who seemed to be so enamored with his order ;)

Year 2010

i can't help but feel a little nostalgic when it's the last day of the year. don't get me wrong. i am so excited for the coming year. i like thinking about what's in store for me this 2011, all the new things, experiences, people, likes, dislikes, dreams, inspirations...but of course i am really emotional to leave the whole year behind ;) somehow there's the feeling of uncertainty for the coming year and the feeling of being a little "scared" will always be with me. anyway, a lot of things happened to me this year. i've been through a lot of ups and downs but still very thankful because the ride was worth it.

some of the most memorable happenings this 2010 in photos :)

successful bazaars

a new venture :)

my own shop, Bedazzle Acessories

a newspaper feature after 2-weeks of being in business :)

as i review my year 2010, i can say that there are more positive events than heart-breaking ones. i appreciate life. all the happiness and pain, achievements and failures. i realized that there are a lot of poeple who care - more than those who are mean and selfish. it is very obvious that there are so many who love me for who i am and i am forever greatful.


as a conclusion, i must say that LIFE is really good and 2010 is one of the best years in my life ever! :) looking forward to a greater year full of luck, love, happiness and people who matter.

Happy New Year!!! :)

a bunch of things to blog about

i've got so many things to blog about but the problem is time. been very busy this month that's why i wasn't able to make blog updates. anyway, i have some time to spare now since my shop is closed for the holiday.

cream puff christmas tree :)

the first on my list is the "happy cream puffs." it's a small cream puff store which has branches in malugay street, paseo center and rada regency in legaspi village.

the happy cream puff started when the owner went to japan for a vacation. they were overwhelmed by the cream puff enthusiasm of the japanese people that's why the owner decided to bake and introduce cream puffs here.

what i like about their cream puffs is the various flavors they present to their clients. they have plain, caramel almond, white chocolate, strawberry sprinkles, plain choco and white and dark choco combination. i also like that they do have the regular-sized cream puffs and in petit size as well.

we ordered 1 box of petit puffs - 10 pcs/P180. my uncle, faye and i finished all 10 in just a few minutes! haha! the custard filling puffs with freshness. i super love it! :) we bought additional 2 boxes for pasalubong ;)

happy cream puff offers free delivery in selected makati areas with a minimum purchase of P300. delivery hotline is 817-4234.

Crepe Delight

there's this crepe station in cash and carry that i really love. their crepes are so good and so affordable at the same time. "crepe delight" offers ala mode crepes and savoury crispy crepes as well.

they prepare everything infront of you.

my ultimate favorite is their peach and banana crepe with vanilla ice cream. it costs only P89 per order. i love that their cream is sugary and the peaches are so sweet :)

they have other flavors like mango choco, lychee and banana. try your crepe delight now! :)
