Food Trips (Part 3: KopiRoti)
Thursday, December 18, 2008
Halfway through the seminar however, my stomach started to complain. I nudged my cousin asking for some snacks, a cracker or candy to temporarily satiate my hunger. She offered me the Kopi bun and I wrinkled my nose. Nope, not interested. But my tummy was growling something else in reply. So I went ahead and took off a small piece of the bread and put it inside my mouth. Boy was I wrong about thinking it might taste too coffee-ish. Though it hinted coffee, it did not taste strongly as such, and the butter that oozes out of the bun and into your fingers was in fact heavenly. She smiled wryly as she noticed that I was then pinching a much bigger piece of the bun.

Food Trips (Part 2: Las Paellas)

Anyway, there are several delightful dishes from this little Spanish restaurant. One of my favorites is the Pork Chop Anadaluz (P175 +SC) two pieces (P225 +SC). Grilled pepper-crusted pork chop in mushroom and wine sauce. I always go for the two piece, no extra rice please. It isn't so much really extraordinary as it is a favorite viand in whatever marinade you serve me. But still, the meat is tender, the sauce is good and it fills me up for several hours contentedly.

Food Trips (Part 1: Dulcinea)
Tuesday, December 9, 2008
Let me share with you some of my food trips. Everyday, casual gastronomic adventures, ranging from restaurants to food stalls and all things scrumptious in between.
Let's start off with Dulcinea. My favorite food to order would be their Gypsy Steak (P323 +SC). I love, love, love their Gypsy Steak and just thinking about it makes me crave again for the tender meat and the juicy fat, seasoned with herb butter. They serve it with soup, rice (which I drench in the herb butter sauce), mashed potatoes (which I pass on to my hubby or my mom) and buttered vegetables.

Some of my favorites are:
1. Joy's Swiss Ham - Their ham is tender and with the right balance of meat and fat. Plus, a super plus, their sauce is really good. Right amount of sweetness and blends well with the ham's flavor. If you can't finish it, just store both the ham and sauce in the freezer (but I can finish a half kilo in one sitting, it's that good). You need not worry, the sauce maintains its flavor, just heat it up together with the ham and you'll get the same sweet goodness. The half kilo goes for P400 but totally worth every peso. You can also see them in bazaars like the American Women's Bazaar held monthly at the World Trade Center.

2. Ineng's Barbeque - Their barbeque is not really out of this world, but yummy just the same. They're meatier, more tender and chewy than the ones sold on the streets, and the fat complements the meat without the i'm-gonna-be-sick-with-cholesterol feeling. Ineng's actually has a branch in Alabang Town Center, near Red Ribbon. They also have other branches in different malls.
Spot: Salcedo Food Market, Alabang Town Center

3. Ninak - It's "kanin" spelled backwards and so you can now very well guess their specialty. I first came across Ninak in Northgate Cyberzone, Alabang (sadly, they're now closed). My hubby raved about the place and brought us there so I can try it out myself. I was not disappointed. I loved their Crispy Beef Belly. It may look dry and flaky, but once you sink your teeth in it, you will appreciate its soft and chewy texture. The sweet soy sauce and the singkamas on the side definitely adds brownie points. But their best dish is the Tinapa Rice (P150), which I've first tried here in Salcedo. A single order can feed 2-3 people. It's a dish well appreciated by the sense of sight, smell and taste. Forgive me though, the smell of it as I opened the container made the thought of taking a shot of it and posting it here vanish altogether. I instantly devoured my share, totally forgetting about my Tinapa-Rice-pictureless blog.
After talking with Ninak's crew, I found out that the owners are the same ones as Brothers Burger's.
4. Packed Lunch- Okay, so it's not really named as such. I've just baptized it with that term because first, I don't know the name of their stall, all those food made me forget to ask and look for their banner. Second, because the owner (not sure if Chinese but has Oriental features and skin color) always asks me if I want to avail of the packed lunch, which is you get to choose any 2 among all the viands displayed on the table (which are mostly homemade Filipino food), plus rice for a whopping total of... only P100. I love this stall because their food is great, their prices are easy on the pocket, and they heap a generous amount of food into each container, much unlike others who measure scantily each serving.
I did my research and found out that the name of this food stall is Shang Express. They still have no banner, but they're usually located near the Leviste St. entrance of the food market. Aside from their weekly stint in Salcedo, they also do catering.

5. Manong's Inihaw na Bangus - Again, a stall name I failed to question but with yummy food nevertheless. More specifically, Inihaw na Bangus (P120). Just look for the guy in the picture, he's the one who always mans the stall. You might wanna look for him initially during your food trip and reserve your bangus first because sometimes, it's not yet ready. Grilling time is about 10-15 minutes better wasted walking around the area, scouring for other delectable dishes.
A trip to Salcedo Market is one experience people, especially foodies, will enjoy doing every weekend. The marriage of different cuisines and world specialties in one location will leave your stomach -- and eyes -- full and very much satisfied.

My first Sony experience is with my Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W150
Thursday, December 4, 2008
Though all products owned, past and present, are well appreciated, comforted by the guarantee that the brand ensures, I can say that my first true Sony experience is with the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W150. The excitement of being able to capture every precious moment, boundless in creativity and limitless in quantity, provides an exhilarating emotion that only a first-time anything can.
And it doesn't stop there. As a fairly new blogger, it used to be that I am forced to be contented with merely searching for pictures over the internet to accompany whatever articles or posts that I write. This changed with the ownership of the Sony Cyber-shot, which bequeathed to me freedom to explore and immortalize photo subjects to my liking.
