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.

Carmina's Review on Soft Bites Carrot Loaf with Walnut

The time I had purchased the Soft Bites from the nearest 7 Eleven near our home there was too many people. I really didn't check when the Soft Bites what the expiration date was. I don't think one day expiration will do any harm if you have eaten it. Those who love to eat carrot, walnut and want something sweet to eat will surely enjoy it. The price of the Soft Bites Carrot Loaf is 250.00 pesos ($4.55). I was also able to try  Soft Bites Banana Loaf with Real Banana, Chocolate and Walnut . If you asked me which one, I prefer the most I'd say the Banana Loaf since I have never seen a big banana inside a loaf before loaded with chocolate. You may also want to try and see which one you prefer over the two flavors that can be purchased at the baked goods inside 7 Eleven Philippines.

Carmina's Special Wonton Recipe

Carmina wanted to make her own home-made wonton, but it turns out to be the same lumpia shanghai recipe of Manang V. Only difference my ingredients I added became my own special recipe. The green onion I had growing in my window used some of it cutting the tips. I also purchased half kilo fresh shrimp known to use for tempura at Farmers Market. I couldn't believe the prices of food now realizing I use to live someone's home not fully paying my groceries. Now, I can relate to my family and friends who has always complained about the expenses they have weekly on food. We learn to start budget what we can only afford. One reason I wanted to make my own dumplings having it stocked up in my freezer. Those days I wanted to just eat soup or fried wanton I can just cook it at home. Carmina's Special Dumpling Recipe Ingredients: 1/2 Kilo Fresh Shrimp (remove shell, head and clean it) 1 - Pack of Molo Wrapper 1/2 Kilo Ground Pork 1 - Carrot (grated) 1/2 Cup Green Onions (chopped) Bla
