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 ...

Manang V's Approval of Bangus Shanghai from Precila's Dagupan Bonuan-Bangus

Carmina requested Manang V to fry Bangus Shanghai that was recently purchased from Precila's Dagupan Bonuan-Bangus located inside Farmers Market, Cubao, Quezon City, Philippines. At first Manang V was wondering why Carmina purchased some lumpia shanghai since we make some at home. Carmina had informed Manang V this is different the ingredient is boneless bangus (milkfish) and the one we make at home has meat inside. Manang V had fried all the Bangus Shanghai, and it is wrapped neatly. Carmina had sliced one pieces so you can see what is inside. We had served it with sweet chili sauce however you can also use ketchup if you prefer too. When biting inside resembles eating Bangus Relleno only difference there is no raisin, pickle relish and hardboiled egg. Yet you can really taste the bangus inside when biting into it.  The Bangus Shanghai can fill you up without eating it with rice. NOT SPONSORED.
