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

Cinnamon Raisin Roll from The Baikery

Carmina has always loved eating Cinnamon Raisin Roll ever since she was young. Carmina grew up from California and use to bake with her younger sister. Living in the Philippines with no oven provided in our kitchen we tend to look elsewhere to eat our favorite Cinnamon Raisin Roll. Carmina has tried a variety of Cinnamon Raisin Roll from the past. Yet she has never tried something that is moist, soft and easy to chew. Cinnamon Raisin Roll reminds Carmina from her childhood years that were freshly baked in the oven. Smelling in the whole house the smell of cinnamon and raisin to top off of its frosting on top best served hot and a cup of warm beverage of your choice tea or coffee. Not bad for PHP 45.00 ($0.90) for one Cinnamon Raisin Roll from  The Baikery  Lazada Philippines not including shipping and handling fees.

Ciabatta from The Baikery

  Carmina has been making her own sandwiches at home with ingredients that you have from your own refrigerator. Carmina had purchased her Ciabatta from The Baikery in the Philippines. You can add anything in your ciabatta bread in what you feel in the mood. Carmina only had sliced cheese, ham and mayonnaise no vegetables in stock. It is a simple sandwich anyone can make all you need is a toaster oven to heat the bread for five minutes depending how toasted you want. Carmina prefer it soft and easy to chew to appreciate the texture of her ciabatta. The Baikery sells ciabatta for six pieces for PHP 80.00 ($1.60) seems unreal it is an inexpensive price not including shipping and handling fees. Carmina has always been fond of eating bread something she cannot remove even if it is carbohydrates. To place your order click here at the link given:  The Baikery  Lazada Philippines.

Tilapia with Pechay Recipe

Today Carmina went to the kitchen to see Manang V and see what is cooking for our lunch. Manang V had informed Carmina for the employee she has cooked something different.  Carmina went to get her phone to take a picture of Manang V's new dish that she decided to add soup to our fresh tilapia with Pechay and other ingredients. Carmina was busy talking to Manang V to get the recipe she also was able to take some photos for you to see. Tip: Manang V said she puts ginger to remove the fishy smell from the tilapia it kind of remind me of Tinola how she had cooked it. Only difference there is tomato floating in the soup and the vegetable is different.
