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 ...

Ate Cynthia's Choice to Eat Lil Orbits Mini Donuts

Carmina was busy taking video of the Gallery Food Hall inside Fishermall.  Ate Cynthia was looking for something to eat. She saw a cart of  Lil Orbits Mini Donuts . Becky said, one of her officemates brought some at the office and didn't know where they had purchase it. Now she knows after reading how much it would cost for a dozen and half dozen mini donuts. Becky asked, Ate Cynthia and Carmina what flavor we wanted. We both said, cinnamon.  Becky was the opposite wanted chocolate flavor. Too bad they had no beverages served at Lil Orbits Mini Donuts for the craving of coffee Becky wanted. Those who have a senior card or pwd can be used at Lil Orbits Mini Donuts. They only offer one discount cards. The donuts are good very tiny so if you want to have some for yourself. I suggest buying one dozen for yourself. NOT SPONSORED.

Becky's Choice to Eat at Cabalen Restaurant in Fishermall

One week ago, Becky had invited Carmina to eat at Cabalen in Fishermall located in Quezon Avenue.  Becky asked, if I ever been to the branch of Cabalen Restaurant in Fishermall. I had informed Becky only in the Ali Mall when we ate there with Mom Violy. Becky said, she will be treating her older sister Cynthia for her birthday. Upon entering  Cabalen Restaurant  there is a counter on right side and a sign of the restaurant. Entering left side is the entrance of the dining room having someone seat you to your assigned table. Once seated at the table can proceed to get your food we arrived there before lunch rush not many people inside. I was able to take a video of the Filipino food. Under my observation the difference from Cabalen Restaurant in Ali Mall is that they carry crispy kangkong, naked fresh vegetable lumpia with peanut sauce and balut. They didn't have it at the Cabalen Restaurant Fishermall. I am not sure if their menu changes every day since I don't go there d...
