Carmina's Review on Hacienda Chicken Style Arroz Caldo from Arroz Ecjia

  Carmina decided to order her dinner at  Arroz Ecija Filipino Soul Food located inside Robinsons Magnolia. It is my first time to try their Hacienda chicken style arroz caldo. Every time I would walk around in Robinsons Magnolia would see a lot of people dine inside. The menu is placed on the table for you to view. There is a small kitchen in back of the counter. Carmina had it for takeout was still warm when brought it home for 189.00 pesos ($3.26). Hacienda Chicken Style Arroz Caldo was very filling lots of ingredients can make a meal for you. I wouldn't mind trying their other Filipino dishes next time with Mom Violy. NOT SPONSORED. Subscribe @ Carmina Lifestyle YouTube Channel  a place to look, discover and share.

Carmina had mentioned to Becky there is a church in Gateway 2, but I've seen it yet.

When you think about it Carmina is going advance, we are approaching the month of March in the Philippines summer is coming. People tend to place themselves in a diet or go toward a healthy style of living. Just happened to Carmina's condition which is not really bad since we can work around by food we can eat. Carmina has started eating wheat bread found the best one she has preferred to purchase in the Philippines.

Mom Violy had informed me that she would like to buy her banana bread at the Edsa Shangri-la Hotel  bake shop. Entering inside the bake shop Mom Violy asked me what I wanted to buy. First thing I saw was the buko pandan loaf. It was the last one on the shelf.  Mom Violy said are you sure this is the one you want. I said yes. I've never seen it before inside the bake shop. I am not sure if it is a seasonal item being holy week.  The price of the Buko Pandan Loaf is 260.00 pesos ($4.73) but if you have a senior card or PWD there is a discount on the baked goods. Coming home I took pictures for you to see what the buko pandan loaf look inside when you sliced it up. I've been eating for the past days the buko pandan loaf is still moist and soft placed inside the refrigerator in an airtight plastic container. Inside the buko pandan loaf is coconut where you can see is color white and color of the loaf in green of the pandan. How does the buko pandan loaf taste? Biting in the b...
