Mom Violy and Carmina’s dining experience at Dean & DeLuca

  Mom Violy told me she wanted to order the Paella Negra from Dean & Deluca. Carmina suggested we dine in since we’d never really tried their main courses, always just getting takeout with the cream puffs . Mom Violy agreed, and we arrived about thirty minutes before the lunch rush began. The service was very slow, even though we had ordered ahead of time. They mistakenly brought out the Paella Valenciana , despite Mom Violy repeating the order three times to the person who took it. It turned out the cook on duty made the error, even though it was written down clearly. We know Paella Negra takes a long time to prepare, which is why Mom Violy had requested it to be cooked beforehand. She wanted it as her main meal, but because of the mix-up and feeling hungry, she took a piece of Carmina’s Turkey Club Sandwich and asked for the bacon on the side. I didn’t expect the turkey to be just one piece, and the bread was toasted so hard that it removed one layer of the sandwich. Since ...

Cinnamon Soft Bread and Carrot Pandesal

Wanting to eat something healthy and less expensive on your bread is what I have enjoy purchasing products made by Baker John. My favorite is their Cinnamon Soft Bread. The best part is the price is not expensive reasonable to purchase for PHP 63.00 ($1.26). Cinnamon Soft Bread is not sweet and has raisin inside remind me of cinnamon roll but just a bread version. My first time trying their Carrot Pandesal known to be a good source of Vitamin A. The flavor is mild and can taste the carrot not over powering. The carrot pandesal is soft in texture can add something inside to make a sandwich or eat it alone. Carrot Pandesal is sold for PHP 53.00 ($1.06) for ten pieces. Not bad for the price there is an expiration date indicated otherwise enjoy your bread from Baker John local made in the Philippines. I had made my purchase in Shopwise Grocery Store through Metro Mart application.  During the past I was able to purchase it at any Robinson Grocery Store located in the bread aisle before...

Watch Out Being Scam from Magnolia Sweet Catimon

My mom has found ways to keep herself busy in her home. Even before when I was young living in California she had loved planting having a green thumb. To keep my mom preoccupied during her pandemic she has reunited from her favorite hobby.  My mom decided to plant a mango tree in her terrace. My mom found Green Meadow in the Facebook advertising with a video how it looked. My mom was very interested and wanted the same tree in her home. My mom doesn't know how to communicate with the person who was selling it. My mom asked me to do it for her. I began inquiring leaving a message in Green Meadow asking how to purchase the Magnolia Sweet Catimon (dwarf variety).  The person began letting me know they had a promo if I had purchase two different type of mango tree, but due to the space in my mom's terrace she is not allowed to plant something bigger than what she wanted. The seller whom I was communicating with asked me questions to answer name of the person, address to be deliver...
