DQ's Birthday Cake

Our family is not big on birthdays but we are big on ice cream ^_^

On my sister's 32nd birthday, she and her husband drove to DQ in Eastwood 

for a birthday cake she has been craving since one week before.

Everyone enjoyed it although some of us, even the celebrant 

was controlling themselves because it was just too 

heavenly for our own good.

Mommy's Salad

Mom came from the market that afternoon and bought some 

leafy greans including organic alfalfa sprouts.

She opened the bottle of feta cheese 

and washed the seedless grapes clean.

Topped it all of with parmesan cheese and served it during dinner.

First Visit at Tokyo Cafe

At last, mother and daughter were able to try Tokyo Cafe.  I was with Via roaming around the mall and was thinking what food to give my daughter for lunch.  I looked at their display and decided that they looked really good.

My Via and I shared this tomato-based rice dish.

There were chicken bits in there and some vegetables to.

Pretty hefty if you ask me.

(By the way, the Japanese manager (?)owner served this dish to our table

even though they were not under-manned. 

Now, that is pretty good service.

This is what my the nanny and I shared ^_^

Mozzarella-filled chicken roll

One piece is more than enough.

The potato salad on the side is pretty good too.

Hamburger-steak

My sister and I shared this one

I gave some beef to Via too.

I got the caramel coffee drink...

... and my sister enjoyed her chocolate drink

Japanese food is now more than sushi, sashimi and tempura ^_^

Not really pricey considering the place looked like it. 

Sunday Breakfast at Conti's

It was our first time in Conti's Katipunan branch.

We were there ahead of other people therefore,

got a space in their small parking area.

They served my iced mocha first.

Starting the day with a dessert!

My Via had fish for breakfast.

She liked it for a while but then got tired of it easily.

Mommy happily finishes them all of.

Their breakfast combo A.

It's good for 3 people.

Here's my favorite!

Lengua estofado for breakfast lunch and dinner.

Even for snacks.

That's how much I like their lengua estofado.

Their fried rice has almonds on them.

I wasn't able to take some and try the combination.

The place is very cozy.

Got to meet my friend from internship!

Pinoy Snacks: Scramble

You have got to try this even just once!

I love it with less powdered milk. ^_^

Charlie's Grind and Grill

Have you tried this already?  

They said it has been around for quite sometime now

but only this week have I tried their burger.

Visited their branch in San Juan.

I love their menu on chalkboard.

The hand-writing is so neat!  

(Note: I am easily impressed!)

Clam chowder on sour dough bread

Taste really good.

Super "clammy".

I tried their Shroom Burger.

I wasn't in the mood for meat that day.

Cross section of a Shroom Burger 

I had the other half packed to go.

Going back there if the budget allows.

It's a whole lot more pricey than other burger brands.

The soup made an impression but the burger didn't.

I would like another chance to taste their other burgers
to change my mind. ^_^
