Go Nuts Donuts Cookies

Nice packaging :)

Go Nuts Donuts Soft and Chunky Chocolate Chip Cookies

I've been wanting to eat a soft and chunky cookie! hayyyy... ang layo naman ng Mrs. Fields branches dito sa Malabon at isa pa, super mahal siya...masyadong masakit sa bulsa kung bibili ako ng half dozen lang at mabibitin naman kami sa sarap... But since i really wanted to eat and really craving for those soft and chunky cookies ng Mrs. Fields I just settled myself sa Go Nuts Donuts lil' cookies... grabe! i didn't know na masarap pala ang mga lil' cute chocolate chip cookies nila, with just P 60.00 per dozen aba it's absolutely a steal! For me hindi sya nalalayo sa cookies ng Mrs. Fields...pareho lang sila halos ng softness (ayaw ko kasi ng crunchy na cookies) now i have more reasons to go to Victory Mall in Monumento para sa mga cookies na ito.

Mini Stop Ice Cream in Cone

I've been wanting to blog the ice cream in cone of the ministop convenience store. I happen to be at their store (caloocan city hall branch) for about an hour the other day waiting for my friend to arrive. There were lots of students in line for this ice cream, it's cheap that's why many are patronizing it. Pero i noticed that kaya pala matagal ang pila dahil matagal din ang pagse-serve nito. Imagine pagbili mo nito ay kukuha ng cone ang cashier and then diretso sya sa machine at kanya itong lalagyan ng ice cream. Napansin ko din na bilang ang pag-swirl nila, if i'm not mistaken ay 2 ikot lang. What really amazed me ay yung ginagawa nilang pag-timbang... (yes they're weighing their ice cream!) Ice cream in cone tinitimbang? pwede pa sa french fries sa mga fastfood chains timbangin at kung sobra ay bawasan at kung kulang naman ay dagdagan, pero yung ice cream? Holy cow!!!


eto yung kanilang ice machine malapit lang naman sa counter


ay nakatalikod! bilis miss dami pa nakapila!


see? tinitimbang...hehehe

So dahil sa hindi ako makapaniwala sa nakikita ko, hindi ko na mapigilan ang sarili kong bumili ng mineral water ( tapos ko nang kainin ang nauna kong inorder) para maitanong ko lang sa cashier anong reason ng pagtimbang ng ice cream... here's the actual conversation.

simplemom: miss, i'm just wondering, bakit tinitimbang yung ice cream?
cashier: ma'am, utos po kasi ng management eh...
simplemom: ah, paano miss kung sobra sa timbang? anong gagawin nyo? didilaan nyo kasi sobra? hihihi
cashier: hehehe, ma'am hindi po, pag po sumobra ng konti ok lang daw po, kasi po may bilang naman po ang pag-ikot, 2 lang po ma'am.
simplemom: eh miss kanina pa kasi ako dito, sorry ha, na noticed ko lang din na kung sakaling kulang, eh mukhang hindi mo din naman dinadagdagan eh...hehehe... at saka ang tagal ng pila oh, parang pampatagal pa sa time nyo ang pag-weigh eh hindi nyo din naman dinadagdagan kung sakaling kulang....
cashier: oo nga po eh...

This was the conversation that takes place between me and the lady cashier. hindi naman pala nasusunod ang pag-timbang ng ice cream which is kinda weird eh bakit hindi na lang nila tanggalin ang weighing scale, imagine sa loob ng almost 1 hour ko don eh, hindi ko nakitang nagdagdag man lang, kung sakaling kulang ang inilagay, at hindi naman nila pwedeng bawasan din ang ice cream kung sakaling napadami wala naman silang nakalaang lalagyan ng sobrang ice cream.... hay buhay.... sometimes may mga rules ang management na parang wala namang sense... sana naman ay mabasa ito ng management nila at magmuni-muni kung tatanggalin na lang nila ang kanilang weighing scale or sabihin nila sa akin "wala kang pakialam" hehehe ang isasagot ko naman ay "meron, meron, meron, kasi ang tagal kong pumipila everytime na bibili ako! dahil lang sa tinitimbang na mga ice cream na yan"!!!

Ying Ying Tea House

Last night we were able to eat at Ying Ying Tea House in Binondo. We're not suppose to eat out but as per my son's request, we hurriedly dressed up and had our late dinner there. Celebration na rin daw kasi honor pupil naman daw si Jeff. And also we want to try their food, because there was a buzz in the food blogging world that the chef of President's Tea House (sarado na because of some management issues) transferred here. I think the buzz that's circulating was true because I saw one of the kitchen staff on the second floor wearing an old President's dark green apron.



I was told by a friend that one of their best seller was the Hot Prawn Salad so we decided to order it.


Definitely one of the best that i've ever tasted!!! P 320.00

We also ordered mixed platter so that we can taste some of their bestseller in just one order (suckling pig, roast duck, lechon macau, pork asado, soy chicken, century eggs and seaweeds) these never disappoint us... it is a sure winner... sobrang laki pala ng serving ng kanilang mixed platter!!! ang daming natira nito at naiuwi pa namin yung iba.


See? ang dami ng serving nila at P 700.00

Syempre, mawawala ba naman ang aming all time favorite na Yang Chow Fried Rice.


P 220.00

My hubby ordered this Milk Tea... hindi nya naubos...kala daw nya masarap eh...hehehe, hindi lang siya sanay kasi uminom nito... ako rin hindi ko gusto ang lasa!!!


P 50.00









We will definitely go back here! Hmmm...maybe next week? I'll just update you guys!!!
Happy Eating...

Ying Ying Tea House is located at:

Jeffrey's Graduation

Yesterday was Jeffrey's Graduation Day... I am very very excited and nervous at the same time. He delivered the invocation without flaws and we're very proud of him. While reciting the prayer sobrang nginig ako, kasi baka may makalimutan siyang lines dahil mahaba din naman yung kanyang minemorize. Hay sobrang relieved ako ng natapos nya ng maayos at very clear. (Stage mom tuloy ang dating ko non...hehehe)


Sorry for the blurred pic, madilim kasi sa Auditorium


Graduate na ng kinder ang baby ko!


With bestfriend Kirstin (both outstanding student)

Dolce - Premium Italian Gelato

Experiencing a premium italian gelato at MOA is a refreshing feeling. It's not the usual ice cream.

I tried the rocky road flavor, i ordered my lola the sugar free chocolate gelato because she's a diabetic, for my tita, she chose the pistacchio flavor and kuya tried the ferrero rocher gelato. We just ordered the small cup which cost P 60.00 each.




what's your flavor?


The facts


The price

Enjoy your gelato!

* Parang mas masarap for me ang Fiorgelato... IMHO...Peace!

Mang Jimmy's

Just the other day, we went to Katipunan to make a reservation for my son’s review in the upcoming UPCAT. We chose LSC over Ahead and UPLink. Mas maganda ang package and may 40% discount kapag sa Science High School ka nag-aaral.

Bago kami umuwi ay nag-ayang kumain ang aming anak ng lunch. So hinanap naming ang Mang Jimmy’s na sikat sa lugar na iyon. It’s actually located sa likod ng MWSS/Maynilad Compound. May papasukan kang medyo narrow na street then yun na…you’ll notice immediately yung mga cars na naka-park sa side ng street. Halos lahat pala iyon ay kumakain sa Mang Jimmy’s.







Sikat sya sa mga taga-UP at mga taga-Katipunan kasi Buy 3 ulam and get 1 for free ang gimik nya. Masarap ang mga sizzling nila dito. So we ordered Bulalao, Sizzling sisig, tapa mix and sizzling blue marlin. Free na ang isa dyan, kasama pa ang rice. Dati daw ay sobrang generous sila in serving rice, kaso dahil nga nagmahal na ang bigas ay hindi na per plate ang bigay nila kundi per cup na lang. Yung 2 extra rice na lang ang binayaran namin.


Tapa Mix


Sizzling Sisig


Sizzling Blue Marlin


Bulalo

Imagine naubos naming lahat iyon…as in simot!



Nung patapos na kami, nakita kong dumating si GMA News Reporter Maki Pulido and her crew. Mukhang madalas din sila dito. Karamihan sa mga customers ay mga nag-oopisina, mga naka-barong at mukhang professionals.


Buntis pala si Maki?


eto lang ang bill namin (nasa kulungan daw kami?) hehehe


dami na tao..


ang old menu card nila


puro grupo ang mga pumupunta dito...




pila na sila




turn left at ito na yung street ng Mang Jimmy's

Choco-late de Batirol

Ang Choco-Late De Batirol ay nasa loob ng Camp John Hay. This was one of my request to my hubby, to include this hidden café in our itinerary…I want to experience eating breakfast while enjoying my original blend of chocolate de batirol.


Original blend


Bibingka - the best i've ever tasted, natalo nito ang bibingka ni Aling Piling dito sa amin,
hehehe... talagang d best!


Arrozcaldo

My hubby ordered arrozcaldo, masarap talaga sya...hindi ko alam kung naglagay sila ng MSG dito kasi, super tasty talaga sya...















I won’t write anything more about this, because I want this to be a secret (hehehe)…baka pag masyadong marami nang maka-alam ay ma-compromise na ang quality ng kanilang food. Kayo na ang mag-judge kung ok ba sa inyo dito….
