Zark's Burger and Go Salad Eastwood

During our last visit in Eastwood, we passed by Zark's Burger and wondering why there were a lot of customers. Curious about this resto, we dine here after doing our grocery from  Robinsons supermarket.

interior.

He got excited when he saw the Breakfast Burger on the menu.

 Half-pound patty with bacon and egg.

Mine: Strikeout Burger, Mushroom Cheeseburger in a bed of lettuce and tomatoes.

It's affordable for it's big size and worth stretching your mouth.

But me, I cut mine in half, attacked it with knife and fork and then got full already after finishing a half. The other half was for snowbell hehe.

As for the taste, hmm the patty was not juicy and tasted bland plus the tomatoes didn't taste fresh. 

So what I did, I put a lot of their condiments. It also has a lot of pink that I gave to M.

We were amazed by the price and serving size for just less than P200.

Maybe we can give this another chance. M suggested we should try their flame-grilled next time.

M had a lemonade  drink to washed it down which comes with his burger meal.

While me,  hoping to keep the balance with this green smoothie from Go Salad! near the supermarket.

Before going to Zark, we bought this first, near the supermarket. I chose "The Jeepney" P100 from their menu: Pineapple, mango, malunggay, coco sugar and coconut water. 

 Haven't thought of using coconut water for my smoothies.
Tasted good.
Peace of mind- checked.

Of couse, I also forced M to drink some. :)))

Go Salad!

Movies and Eats: Potts Point Cafe, Mad Max

Potts Point Cafe

Sunday afternoon eats in Eastwood Mall :)

Pasta for me. Yummy roasted eggplant, cherry tomatoes, goat cheese with creamy organic tomato sauce linguine P310

For him, organic roasted chicken in Quinoa Red Rice salad P355

Both dishes have very strong, wonderful flavor and were very tasty that I wanted to recreate them at home (nagfi-feeling)  Both with roasted ingredients so they have a hint of smoke and that distinctive juicy, grilled taste :) 

The price as you know is very steep and the serving for that rice is few. 

But we have a metrodeal voucher yasss! and also I wanted to try different take on healthy dishes and some food inspiration too so that's ok. :))))

I love the interior, somewhat homey feel, love the rustic shelves with knick knacks :)

Afterwards, we strolled around, it's been a while since we visited this place. 

There are already new stores and restaurants that I wanted to try. 

For our latest movie trip, we watched Mad Max: Fury Road. 

This movie was so intensed, fast- paced and has a lot of breath-taking scenes. 

I recommended it to a friend, told him he should watch than Perfect Pitch and he too said it was breath-taking and awesome. And the best of all, wholesome ;p

Waiting for Arnold's Terminator for our next movie trip :)))) 

Labor Day Date: Swensens, Spidey Movie, Kebabers

We treated ourselves to Swensens ice cream at Eastwood Mall before watching the movie.

I ordered the chocolate hot fudge and green tea flavors while Coffee Mocha Almond for M.

I thought I can't finish 2 scoops of ice cream, it seems I can eat about 4-6 scoops ;p

Chocolate hot fudge

Green Tea

Just perfect for summer :)

Lookie meron din silang HaloHalo sundae! 

Then amazing spidey movie time ;p

Well, what I can say is that it would be super amazing if without the torrid kisses :/

Every character performances were good and my fave would be Harry Osborn who really acts well as kontrabida. There were scenes that made me teary eyed and Spoiler : I'm quite happy that they let Gwen died here and didn't prolong the story. The way she died was also a very good scene and makes sense as compared to original story in the comics.

Afterwards, we had dinner at Kebabers at Eastwood Citywalk2, I had chicken shawarma and beef kebab for him. hmmm it taste like you're eating canned Maling lang :/

I remember that we're not able to wait until the end of credits as we hurried up to the comfort room na ;p 

We just thought of searching it on youtube afterwards. But we stayed until the mid credit where they only showed the trailer of X-Men, which we are also looking forward to watch. 

And oh the Maleficient trailer looks great, we might watch that too. 

Lots of movies for this month!

Hello November, Long Weekend

Undas 2013

My mom's yearly tradition she called  "Atang" 

I spent most of the time with the puppies :)

I named them SnowBall, SnowBell and SnowBear ;p

I miss them na

Sunday, back in manila

 movie time  \^_^/ 

Sounds like dark and heavy to watch but it was actually funny and entertaining. There's something about the screen chemistry between  Chris Hemsworth and Natalie Portman. I usually cringe whenever I see a kissing scene but for these two, they look so sweet!

We didn't know that there was a 2nd post credit scene! ;(

Then dinner at Prince of Persia

I'm not that hungry so I only had a chicken wrap (P95) (with a not so soft chicken) while M had a tasty  Beef Kebab (P270).

We looked at the stalls of the bazaars nearby and took a photo of this wall art made of bottle caps.

December is fast approaching, I'm already thinking what to give for Christmas :/

Oblivion, Kanzhu

after jcuppacakes, movie time!

Oblivion setting is post war, inhabitable future earth where Tom Cruise as Jack maintain the area with his mission partner Viktoria. Memory erased prior to mission,  the story then unfolds what is it that haunts him from his past and what he is unaware of.

The story has the same effect on me when I watched Evangelion, Voices of a Distant Star or any space, futuristic anime related film. That sad, lonely feeling as you are separated from your love one with space and time, in addition to uncertain future...something like that.

The actress who played Victoria did a very good job in capturing her character emotions that I became her instant fan ;p I googled and found in IMDB, she won best actress awards in the past, oh thats why.

While she cries easily, the one who played Julia took some time to cry I find her boring despite her expressive face.

Overall, it was a brilliant story and was also nice seeing this movie in big screen because of the special effects/ amazing CGI, although I have to roll my eyes for the love story, yep love story/ scifi action, anyway that's needed naman ;p 

And of course, it's a Tom Cruise film, seriously, he seems to be forever good looking  and young.  :)

Kanzhu Hand-Pulled Noodles

Afterwards, we had our early dinner at Kanzhu Hand Pulled noodles in SM Hypermarket.

They served huge servings of noodles so we just shared one bowl and ordered siopao.

I just ate the siopao bun, mike said the filling is just ok. As for the noodles, we were both impressed, whatever herb/spices they use, it taste simple and natural. :)

free sweet peanuts

PS: I forgot to write about GI:Joe we saw weeks ago, breath taking action it was. :)  We intended to see Olympus too last weekend, if ever it'll be morgan freeman overload  lolz, but we're informed it wasn't that nice. hmmmm...

Anyway, I'm excited and hoping to see Ironman 3 next week... lots of good movies this summer!

\(^_^)/

JCuppacakes at Eastwood City

While waiting for Oblivion screening time last Sunday afternoon, we went to this cutie, shabby chic cupcake place in Eastwood Citywalk 2. It is located in the previous location of Haagen daz store.

The place is really inviting, it is cute inside and out.  I like the chintzy ceiling, the glass chandelier and  the pastels look and summery feel of those dessert stands.

I first tried their cupcakes when a colleague bought some from their stall in SM Megamall and they gave me this one with green tea frosting. It was moist and not overly sweet and I remember being happy after I finished it. :)

This time, we've tried their Red Velvet and also got intrigued by the White Choco Basil frosting Php65ea

Among the two, the memorable one is the white choco with basil.

Up close

This one was really, really, really good. It will be very sweet without the basil, so its presence balanced the taste. The crunchy bottom part also matched the frosting on top while it started to somewhat a bit runny. aylabit!!

It would be nice to come back here again for an afternoon tea treat and taste their other cupcake flavors. :)

Last Friday, we had a lovely brunch at Momo Cafe Eastwood City.

And at the same time, he also started eating veggies because of me.

Our orders:

huge bowl of Salad

my plate - bangus breakfast

mike's plate - longganisa breakfast

The smell of garlic rice is just divine.
Each plate includes omelet, achara, salted egg w/ tomatoes and vinegar dip.

We enjoyed the breakfast and the portions were huge!
We have stuffed ourselves silly for the rest of the day. ;p

I chanced upon this deal from groupon :)
