Saturday Salcedo Market

Went here yesterday at around 10AM after our errand in Makati.

I bought a bottle of Malunggay pesto at Pinoy Ordurvz. I'm planning to add 'em in sandwiches and as a salad dressing this week :)

Buddys at Lucban

It's Friday! Hope you all had a fab week, something to be thankful for. 

 I'm back with my post about last weekend's trip to Lucban and their (mike and his bro) treat to Buddys. 

Tenkuuu!

Pretty and colorful kiping

I do love their interior, looks festive and bright

Kamay ni Hesus and Garden of Eden

Unplanned trip I would say, after mike "begged" me to come with him (he forgot his mom's bday) hehe, well, my dentist appointment finished late so it was only practical to went straight to his hometown instead of him driving me to San Pedro and drive back again to Luisiana.

And so after a long drive hours, 4hours? I felt restless on my seat and it feels like forever to reach his far, far away hometown! We need to pass by Caliraya lake because there's ongoing bridge renovation at Pagsanjan hence the additional 1 hour. We reached our destination at around 2PM.

Late in the afternoon, after a plate of spaghetti and a little coding on my laptop, we went to Kamay ni Hesus at Lucban with his family, around 20 mins or  less drive from Luisiana.

The Garden of Eden was open that time. Yey! The last time we went here it was closed. 

Momo Cafe Eastwood

Hello Sunday!

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

mike must be really happy as he loves breakfast food.
And he's the one who influenced me to eat breakfast any part of the day.

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

yunn oh! ;p

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.

free bread

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 :)
Momo Cafe prices are a bit on a higher side, but the servings are actually good for sharing.

Hope you're enjoying the weekend.

Happy Sunday!

My New Haircut

Tadaaa! 

Thanks to my tita rems for my new short layered haircut.

So there really comes a time in your life when you've been itching to change your haircut and mine was last October when it feels kinda heavy already (after all these years?). It's now shoulder level, and it does have a bouncy look in it, fly away here and there but  feels very light and I feel like Alice in RE1 (wahaha RE much!)

Ma Chicken Mami House at FunRanch Pasig

Finally got to try this resto, saw this from January and also when we tried Chucks Grub earlier this month.

 I would say their price a bit steep bec of few servings P90+ for each meal plus siopao at P50+ (not that big)

Well, mike liked his rice w/ kikiam, not your usual kikiam, their original chicken mami taste like sopas but still perfect for gloomy weather 

and just realized our payong...

Umbrella Corporation! ;p

Happy Long Weekend! 

(even though it's not applicable for me..)

 but we'll have holidays next week... can't wait to see our furry friends and eat real home cooked meals!
