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 ...

New Passion Fruit Smoothie at Gong Cha

Have you've ever encountered someone approach you saying they've watch a tok-tok video? The person wants you to explain what Gong Cha is. Carmina was caught off guard when standing up about to leave Gong Cha in Alameda with her high school friend. Carmina just told the guy the best seller is listed on the counter of the store. Carmina also told the guy he can also try their new beverages which she has personally tried the Passion Fruit Smoothie. Otherwise, everything else is good off their menu for you to drink. Carmina's best friend has never tried or heard of Gong Cha. Carmina mentioned how they also have Gong Cha in the Philippines. Carmina's friend was kind of surprised. We had ordered the following: Medium Size Creamy Passion Fruit Smoothie for $6.50, 50% Sweet and Pearls $0.65 = $7.15 (PHP 383.01) Medium Size Mango Smoothie $5.75, 50% Sweet and Pearls $0.65 = $6.40 (PHP 326.00) Carmina and her best friend both enjoyed their beverages being hot outside.

Carmina's Review on Sushi House in Alameda

Carmina and her high school friend have always eaten at Sushi House our traditional lunch when I am in town. Upon entering Sushi House, they are strict where you need to wear a face mask before entering the restaurant. If there is a line they provide you to sign up on the wait list since we came when they just opened we just informed how many we're to be seated. This time around Carmina didn't want to get the bento box where she went ahead and ordered the Seafood Udon when it has been cold outside. The moment you feel like eating Seafood Udon includes a garden salad. Carmina's high school had ordered three combination bento with Teriyaki Salmon, Beef and California Maki Sushi includes miso soup, garden salad and white rice. Carmina had enjoyed her Seafood Udon the serving was too big had some leftovers to take out. You'll be the one to transfer into a takeout container with a plastic bag. Leaving Sushi House it started to get busy where a lot of people we're dining ...
