Thai shall be done





It was shopping day for us last March 13. While I was fretting how to "properly" allocate my salary, Wheng (as usual) already fixed her allowance and shopping budget. I gotta hand it to her, she really is an expert when it comes to budgeting. Wish I could have that sort of talent.

After work, we had breakfast at KFC Eastwwod, Libis with friends. Gravy was overflowing (talking bout calories). We left for Tutuban round 7am with Glay, one Jeepney ride to Cubao then took the train-LRT2 to Recto.

I insisted to go to Quiapo first. Wheng said it's her first time there. I wanted to buy some anime series from my "suki" but we were too early, stores were still closed, so I ended up buying some stuff instead. We met my friend Ryan there, he came along with us to Tutuban.

So from Quiapo, we rode the jeep again to Tutuban. We walked a little to reach 168 mall. We shopped around. Wheng bought some neat long-sleeved shirts. I ended up buying Hello Kitty stuff. It's a really tiring adventure for girls to shop (I believe most girls would agree) so around 11am, we were already famished.

I dragged my two companions to the 3rd floor, towards 168's food court. Picking what to eat is one thing, having a tight budget is another. So we looked for a stall that would serve big plates, preferably good for 3 persons. I remembered that Thai food I ate before with my boyfriend and mom. So again, I dragged them towards that particular stall and the rest was history.

(Nah... I still need to tell you how satisfied we were)

We ordered one platter of Crab meat fried rice, one platter of Squid with Garlic and Pepper and another of their Pandan Chicken. I was hesitant to order the Pandan chicken. I thought it won't satisfy my taste buds. But hey, I was completely WRONG!





Per platter, it was a hundred bucks (or one hundred pesos each). For us it was fair enough since we wanted to try something new and not the usual fast food meals.








So the what's verdict? I gave it a super high 5! The Crab Meat Fried Rice can actually be eaten alone since it's tasty enough to satisfy your hungry tummies. The Squid with Garlic and Pepper is soft and tasty and the Pandan Chicken is like Chicken Lechon. All 3 meals were super yummy I just cant get enough of them! Especially the Pandan Chicken. My taste-o-meter went OOOHHH LALA!








We left our seats with wide smiles on our faces and we left our table with of course, empty plates.






Bon Apetit!

Quick Stop: Mongolian Style


For the past weeks, there have been many changes in my life that I felt like I need to catch myself. This is what I did in Sunday, I went out alone. I watched a movie, When in Rome. After watching the movie, of course I looked for a place to eat. I looked around the mall and found Mongolian Quick-stop. I ordered glazed chicken meal. This meal costs 100 pesos which includes: iced tea, soup and of course, the main dish, chicken glazed with rice and egg which is very affordable for me.






The soup is creamy with bits of chicken. Chicken glazed was really delicious because of its slightly sweet sauce and it has an egg, my favorite. The serving is more than enough for 1 person. I was full but there was still something left on my bowl. I ended up eating all the chicken and left some rice, hahaha!






I know it’s kind of weird but one of the things that I look for is their tissue supply on the table. Though you can’t see it in the picture there is tissue dispenser on every table. I really appreciate it when the management has more than enough tissue on each table. For me it means that they are really thinking about their clients’ welfare. Have you ever tried catching the attention of the waiter just to ask for tissue? Most of the time it’s really hard especially if there are so many people inside the place.





Oh well, that is my experience. I think I already caught up with myself so I’m happy as I end my day.

Happy eating everyone!

Wandering for good food


Been thinking where we should go next. Wheng and I only meet once every two weeks or on Saturdays (if we're lucky enough). So I asked her if she can eat somewhere without me, she better jot it down so we can post her share of the taste here. Hmmmmm... Wish I could do the same. Maybe I will. *wink*
