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 ...

Bagels from Midnight Bakers

Carmina grew up eating bagels when she grew up living in California. Carmina has a sister who use to own Big Apple Bagel Store. Carmina's sister use to give her the day old bagels that didn't sell. We always place it in the freezer and warm it when we felt like eating it the next day. Carmina has been missing her bagels and was able to find it during her transaction from Midnight Bakers. The bagels are affordable having six pieces per order for PHP 180.00 ($3.60). The texture of the bagel reminds me of a croissant soft and moist with the taste of sour dough bread. It is quite unique being a bagel and sesame seeds on top. Bagel can be made for any type of meal on breakfast, lunch or dinner. To make your own purchase there is two ways to do it from  Midnight Bakers Lazada Philippines  or  Facebook Midnight Bakers  to check their menu. Carmina is looking forward on her next transaction. She has been eyeing on their chicken pot pie another favorite American dish. NOTE: C...

Bacon Ham Cheese Loaf from Midnight Bakers

Years ago Mom Violy and Carmina use to go shopping in Tutuban Shopping Mall located in Binodo Philippines. There was no issue of covid-19. There use to have a bakery that sold the same Bacon Ham Cheese Loaf that was wrapped up in a store. The owner was Chinese that I use to be able to talk too they didn't bake the bread at the store. They had a bakery outside and were sent their baked goods at the store. Carmina always made sure to visit that bakery before she had done her shopping with Mom Violy. The store had closed down. After seeing the Bacon Ham Cheese Loaf from Midnight Baker gave back memories where I have seen it Bacon Ham Cheese Loaf is soft when it had arrived. I couldn't slice it since it was newly baked. You can see all the toppings on the bread. Bacon Ham Cheese Loaf is sold for PHP 280.00 ($5.60) not including shipping and handling fees. You can place your order two ways from  Midnight Bakers Lazada Philippines  or  Facebook Midnight Bakers  eithe...

Carmina threw a Bulleye from Midnight Bakers in the Philippines

Carmina threw an arrow and went and hit a bullseye with loads of bacon, ham and cheese. You feel you want to fill up your home with variety bread is to place it somewhere you've never purchase. Carmina was looking for bread to eat a complete meal that has everything inside to fill you up. The best thing  Midnight Bakers  has a lot of variety of bread that gave Carmina an opportunity to try it herself. Bulleye PHP 350.00 ($7.00) Bulleye has the same Filipino texture of being moist when you eat an ensaymada only difference there is ham and bacon inside making it a sandwich just being sliced to place on a plate.  It is soft with the butter taste on the bread. It had arrived at my home the bread was still warm newly baked from Midnight Bakers. You will need to pay delivery fee from the seller itself during the process of ordering online. Carmina had placed her last night and received it just in time for merienda (snack) in the Philippines. NOTE: Carmina is not selling or...
