Mom Violy's Birthday Lunch at Mamou, Gateway 2

Carmina asked Mom Violy what kind of food she would like to eat for her upcoming birthday. Mom Violy said she was craving for a restaurant that serves steak and lobster. Carmina gave Mom Violy a list of restaurants for her to decide with a link of the websites for her to see which one look something she would like to try. One week before Mom Violy's birthday she made her final choice where she would like to try  Mamou . Carmina had picked up Mom Violy at her home before heading to Gateway 2 located in Cubao, Quezon City. Mamou is located ground floor inside Gateway 2. Upon entering the person asked if we had any reservations however, they do except walk as well was seated at the table of our choice.  The person had handed us the menu. Beverages Menu Bread and butter were served after we had placed our order. Our appetizer was the Mamou's Bacon Steak. Mom Violy decided to order her lobster tail with rice. Carmina had ordered Beer Battered Fish and Malt Vinegar with choice of pot

Progresso Soup to Keep You Warm Up

  During the cold weather we prefer to eat soup to keep us warm and those who live far away to eat an American meal would purchase canned soup at the grocery store. I remember my dad always served soup every time I would spend time with him in California with a sandwich this is one of my memories that makes me look back during the time I would have a chance to eat with him. No matter how far I am living in the Philippines the Progresso Soup remind me of my dad even though I don't often get to see him we just communicate through social media just like anyone else would do. I was able to purchase my Progresso Loaded Baked Potato with Bacon or Chicken Pot Pie from Shopee Online shopping from goodies4you  who was able to sell it to me. Progresso Loaded Potato with Bacon the price is PHP 299.00 ($5.98) Light Progresso Chicken Pot Pie is PHP 299.00 ($5.98) Even though the price is different from what we would have purchase in California we need to think the expenses being imported to us

Prima Laksa and Chili Crab both from La Mian Premium Instant Noodles

  To have the taste from Singapore my favorite is laksa and chili crab noodles either way you get to eat something at home only cooked the instant way. There are other ways to make your instant noodles not taste fully coming from the package you can add other ingredients for example I would add fresh shrimp in my laksa soup. In your kitchen you can make an ordinary meal out of products you have purchase online to taste differently in what you're craving. Don't expect the prices to be inexpensive per piece range from PHP 178.00 ($3.56) to compare traveling there would be costly when you think about it. Some other sellers sell it for PHP 200.00 ($4.00) per piece. All I can say when you see it available grab it or else you will regret it later soon it will be out of stock. What is the taste of the Prima Laksa La Miam Premium Instant Noodles? You can taste the coconut in the soup and being spicy from the chili sauce some people find it too rich for me it is just right. What is the

Which bag of chips defines who you are from the taste and flavor?

  Which bag of chips defines who you are from the taste and flavor? Every day we have a different mood in what flavor of chips we prefer to eat and no matter what when you eat a small portion of chips you get to limit how much you consume in one meal. I remember growing up in California my mom would make me a sandwich and would put a bag of chips in my lunch bag going to school. Eating our packed lunch made by our parents we tend to eat the chips either alone or with our sandwich and today I was craving for chips imported from the States. My favorite chips are the following Funyuns, Lays Barbecue and Doritos Cool Ranch. Did you know they don't often sell Funyuns in the Philippines?   It is difficult to find it here and when you do we can purchase it from Juty Free Philippines or S&R. Most of time when I visit my hometown my best friend would always make sure she would have a bag filled up to give me to bring back home to the Philippines. I was able to find the last bag from a s

Which cold cut are you craving to make a sandwich?

  Which cold cut are you craving to make a sandwich? The meat I am craving for is pastrami in which I use to buy at a deli in California called Togo's even though I had worked for Subway Sandwiches when I was young. Just like anyone else we eat from our competitor we tend to go toward a deli that also sells sandwiches. We are not a spy just that the fact the way they make their sandwiches is different as well their supplier of cold cuts comes from someone else. No matter where you purchase your sandwiches whatever ingredients inside determines what you crave for and it just satisfy your stomach in what you feel like eating that day. For me Togo's is out of my reach due I live in the Philippines instead I found a place where to purchase it online through Grab Mart via application in my area. The place I was able to buy was at Builtamart in New Manila . Aguila Beef Pastrami Aguila Pepperoni 250g is PHP 193.00 ($3.86) or 500g PHP 386.00 ($7.72) Aguila Lyoner Olive 250g PHP 171.00

The Old School of Reminding Yourself

For those who are not use too using their calendar on their phone, computer and tablet often people who are not literate in using gadgets prefer writing down what events will occur as their daily reminder. My mom is in that old generation where everything has to be noted down on paper calendar to her it is useful in other ways of life people get accustom to jot it down. People who are in the technology would prefer to type it on our phone to remind us to hear a notification on our gadgets. Every end of the month of November my mom would always request me to look for a Hallmark pocket calendar this year it is not available in order to fulfill my mom's wish list of what she wanted this year was to find something similar to what she is use too. Gladly I was able to purchase it online in Lazada a store that carried paper materials that had my mom's paper pocket calendar from  Papemelroti  made in the Philippines.
