GT: The last time I pig out

I remember the last time I pig out was at the wedding of hubby's college friend Michael held at Manila Hotel. The buffet table was a feast to my eyes, that's why I was not able to control the amount of food that I put on my plate.

See? I had another plate for the pasta and lechon!

Hehehehe....


Excited for my first GT entry!!!

Thanks Peachy for teaching me how to join GT!

Want some Tacos?

My family loves to eat Tacos! Kaya kapag sinisipag-sipag akong gumawa nito ay tuwang-tuwa ang mga kids ko, si hubby at syempre ako, hehehe... Talaga naman kasing favorite ko ito, natatandaan ko pa nga dahil sa gustong-gusto ko ito ay nagtinda pa ako nito sa harapan namin nung si Justine (my eldest) ay mga 1 year old pa lamang. So anyhow, just want to share with you guys the pics kung gaano ka simpleng i-prepare ang tacos.

Wow, i'm craving right now :)

These are the ingredients....

Ground beef.... hubby cooks this.... I only eat and prepared all these hehehe, (don't know how to cook!) Saka secret niya ang ingredients nito eh, ssshhhh.... (basta marami siyang spices...)

Cabbage

Tomatoes

White onions (medyo bitter kasi for me yung red)

siyempre yung cheese!

At hindi mo magagawa yan kung walang Taco shell!

(I prefer the BAMBI brand)

Yummy ba? Kain na tayo!!!

Luk Foo Cantonese Cuisine

We always go to Puregold Monumento every 1st day of the month for our monthly grocery supplies but we never got the chance to eat at Luk Foo since everytime pupunta kami para mag-grocery ay after lunch lagi.

Luk Foo is a Cantonese Restaurant that serves really good Chinese dishes and the price is just right. But I admired most was the great customer service that we received. The staff were very attentive and very courteous. We'll definitely go back at Luk Foo to try their other dishes :)

It was a good decision for me and hubby to celebrate Lola's birthday at Luk Foo. Mom sent some money for Lola's special day (Thanks mom!) We were looking for a good Chinese resto that's near our place so that most of our immediate family can attend. It's P 4,000 per table (12 pax) with bottomless soda, good thing was that we were 22 only so tama lang ang 2 tables for us and the Luk Foo people are the best because they let us use the function room kahit na hindi umabot sa 5K per table ang ni-reserve ko. All my requests were granted pati sa pag-serve ng food ay hindi kami nag-antay ng matagal at talagang maasikaso sila!

Here are the pics guys :)

Lola's 83rd Birthday

It's my Lola's 83rd birthday! Today we celebrate her special day with a sumptous lunch at Luk Foo in Monumento. It was attended only by our immediate family and lola's BFF. It was not a surprise treat but she's really happy eventhough we're not complete because some of her children and grandchildren were not able to make it.

I love you Lola!!!

You don't look like you're 83 already :)

The Original Buko Pie

Aside from resorts and hot spring, Laguna is also famous for its buko pie, several stores serves different flavors of pies but the best for me is the one from The ORIGINAL Buko Pie Bakeshop. Their buko pie is to die for, the meat is soft and the taste can't be compared to others.

Sorry for the blurred pics :(

I gave my sister-in-law (who's a fan of Colette's) a box of it and she instantly liked it. She told me that her sons are now craving for the said buko pie, and doesn't want the old (Colette's) one anymore :)

For me to be able to buy this buko pie,

I have to fall in line.... like these people...

Whoa! It took me 45 minutes just to buy this yummy treat from Laguna!

Kamayan sa Palaisdaan sa "Bay"

Since ang Laguna route ang aming binaybay nung pauwi na kami ng Manila galing Lucban ay inabutan na kami ng oras ng pananghalian sa daan. Pagsanjan pa lang ay medyo tomguts na kami pero sabi ni hubby ay hanap na lang kami ng medyo kakaibang restaurant para naman masulit ang experience (hehehe), nakarating na kami ng Pagsanjan, Sta. Cruz, Pila Laguna ay wala pa rin kaming mapili na kainan, hanggang makarating kami sa bayan ng "Bay" at doon ay nadaanan namin ang "Kamayan sa Palaisdaan" wahehehe... sa isip-isip ko hindi na kami "nadala". Anyway, since yun lang ang maayos na kainan na nadaanan namin at talagang gutom na kami ay pinasok na lang namin ang lugar.

Habang papasok ay umuusal ako na sana ay maganda naman ang aming maging "kapalaran" sa pagkain ng aming tanghalian, hehehe. Sariwa pa sa aming puso't isipan ang nangyari sa Kamayan sa Palaisdaan sa Tayabas na talaga namang isusumpa mo sa inis dahil sa pagkapangit-pangit na serbisyo at hindi kasarapang pagkain.

Pagpasok pa lang, hmmmm... parang iba ang dating dito, mas peaceful ang lugar at ang guwardya ay mabait at bumabati ng maayos sa mga dumadating... Hindi katagalan ay nakakuha na kami ng bakanteng lugar para doon ay kumain. Aba! mabilis ang serbisyo dito sa Bay! May lumapit agad sa amin na staff at agad na nilinis ang mga pinagkainan ng umalis sa pwesto namin. Siya na rin ang kumuha ng aming order :) (Impressive itong branch na ito ah)

Habang nag-aantay ng aming order ay nagpicture-picture muna ako, hehehe....



Mas malinis itong branch na ito...

Kahit madami ang customers ay mabilis ang kanilang serbisyo! Enough ang staff na nakaalalay sa bawat area, unlike dun sa isang branch na kulang na kulang sa manpower kaya sobrang nag-suffer ang kanilang customer service.

At dahil gutom na kami, pardon me for the pics, hindi ko na nakunan ng maayos ang mga dishes bago kami lumafang dahil talagang super kalam na ang aming mga sikmura...

Anyway, kinunan ko pa din, kahit mukhang dinaanan na ng bagyo ang aming mesa.

Crispy Pata

The best ito!!!

Chicken Barbecue
Juicy siya at very tasty!

Pinakbet Tagalog

Ito ang unang naubos sa mesa, kahit kids ay nakain ang pinakbet nila!

Masarap siya at highly recommended!

Ayan ang kuha ng mga taong gutom! hehehe....

Di ko nakuhanan ng picture ang inihaw na hito!

Malalaki ang hito nila dito at masarap.

Ayan si hubby, busog na busog at simot ang plato, hehehe

Pati green mango shake nya ay ubos!!!

Halata ba sa picture na nasiyahan kami dito sa

Kamayan sa Palaisdaan sa "Bay"?

Sana naman ay yung branch sa Tayabas ay manghingi ng tips sa branch nila sa "Bay" kung paano ba ang tinatawag na "excellent customer service"

Panalo sa "Bay" wala akong ma say!

On our way home

I will surely miss the beautiful town of Lucban. On our way home, hubby chose the Laguna route so that we can see the other side of Laguna. We passed by the stunning town of Luisiana, I think they were celebrating their Pandan Festival that's why almost all houses were adorned with dried pandan leaves.

Decoration were mostly colorful hats.... :)

Travel from Cavinti to Pagsanjan was very long but I enjoyed the view at Cavinti. I've learned that the famous Pagsanjan Falls is actually situated in Cavinti and not in Pagsanjan. The town is rich in beautiful landscape, and Oh! I would love to go back there and try their famous rapids.

This pic was taken at Pagsanjan, Laguna...

There were lots of Bangkeros in the river :)

I think the Bangkero Festival is held every first week of March.

Looking forward for another road trip!!!
