Two or more is already a big number and since our family is just in a mid size, having some few platters is great for our dinner. Most of the time if want to just enjoy eating without the staple food, which is rice, we always manage to find the comfort of pasta. We love pasta and I think our kids get it from me. My wife, who loves to cook, would always find time to prepare pasta dishes but of course there are times that she just wanted to rest. So, there's always a restaurant to turn to. Glad that Angel's Pizza offers a variety of pasta with their Pasta Platter.

Pasta Platter from Angel's Pizza offers three variety of pasta dish; Mac and Cheese Platter, Carbonara Platter and Spaghetti Platter. good for 4 to 5 person per serving.

MAC AND CHEESE PLATTER

CARBONARA PLATTER

SPAGHETTI PLATTER

A week ago, my family was craving for pasta. Yes, and the only branch closest to our place was at Fairview. We were settled to go out for dinner that time but nature got a plan of their own and poured a really heavy rain fall. We couldn't get out. So, we decided to have it delivered. We called the branch and ordered their Pasta Platter plus some pizza and other dish that our kids love.

All the pasta platters comes with their signature bread stick that I like eating together with the pasta. Aside from the pasta that we ordered, pizza is also a good match our my kids love pizza that much.

So, if you want to skip the hassle of cooking, well, there's Angel's Pizza to call to. Just contact them and tell what you want to order and they'll deliver it. Just be sure that there's one that is near to your place. Great for family gatherings and barkada nights.

If Manila got their Chinatown at Binondo , Quezon City have its Chinatown at Retiro. Yup, you’ll definitely find Chinatown in Quezon City and that is in Retiro. The establishment is more of a Taiwanese cuisine restaurant but it’s more likely of a Chinese restaurant so you’ll find some familiarity.

Chinese are very particular with their culture and when dining they do it together, that’s why you’ll find most of the Chinese/Taiwanese restaurants are designed and created with spacious area. And Tien Ma’s, the one located in Retiro is designed with spacious area to accommodate quite a number of customers. Of course there’s the usual Chinese characters and designs on walls, doors and windows. And the classic Chinese music that let customers feel relaxed.


So if you’re family or friends are looking for a bigger venue to celebrate life’s moment, then Tien Ma’s is one of them.


Oh before I forget Tien Ma’s literary means Mother Tien or Mama Tien. The restaurant was established by the couple and it became known and it was called Mama Tien. Its dish is basically the home cook meal of a typical Taiwanese house. Then it was sought by Figaro to have a partnership with, then later on it was fully acquired by Figaro and became part of the growing number of food establishment owned by the company.





Xiao Long Bao? Well, Tien Ma’s got on their list of menu and what’s great with them is that they got some interesting selection. Lately, this dimsum is making a buzz and I’m not sure when it begun to be a hit but one thing I know, it’s yummy. Their version of Xiao Long Bao got the Original, with Black Mushroom with Truffle Oil and with Cheese, which I really liked.




Next in line of the dishes that we indulge with are the Beef Brisket and Wanton Noodles. I soup and noodles very much. According to Tien Ma’s they make their own noodles that’s why it taste different than any other Wanton Noodles.


The Salt & Pepper Spareribs. If you’re been trying different Chinese restaurant you’ll know that there are some dishes that are present in every restaurant and this dish is one of them.

This one is something new for me, it is enticing and looks appetizing enough to taste. The Salted Egg Prawns. Cooked and coated with a salted egg sauce that is just light, yummy and flavorful. But of course this particular dish for me should be taken lightly and rarely.
Tainan Fried Chicken is best taken with Taiwan Style Fried Rice. And as Pinoys our meals always comes with a rice.





Now if these selection fills your tummy, well better think again because there still dessert.


The dessert line up Pan Fried Sesame Pancake, Almond Jelly with Lychee, Mango Sago, and Melon Sago.


This makes my day and take note I haven’t tried some of their dishes yet so we’ll definitely find time to visit again.

With all these fun and wholesome attributes and more, Luis is truly a perfect fit for Century Corned Tuna which is now Bigger and Hotter!

The thought of having cheese in your burrito is awesome and that's what I thought when Taco Bell made their announcement about their latest food offering for their loyal foodie fan. An inventive twist created for the Burrito itself, the Cheesy Core Burrito.

If you think it's not good well, your lost, because this Cheesy Core Burrito really made a craving out of me. I'm not a huge fan of Burrito but I like eating it but of course having your usual burrito would definitely give you a food fatigue. And perhaps that's what Taco Bell thought about it and made a twist of their Burrito, the Cheesy Core Burrito.

Taco Bell might want to claim that their Burrito or their food establishment is very first store to offer and come up with this kind of twist with the Burrito. It is the firs burrito with a melted cheese center. It features a "core" of red nacho strips sauce wrapped in a flour tortilla surrounded by seasoned beef, Mexican rice, cool sour cream, and red sauce wrapped into a burrito. Imagine a mini cheese burrito stuffed inside a classic Taco Bell Burrito.

If you're convinced and satisfied of what I've said about the Cheesy Core Burrito then you might want to satisfy yourself more by having the Cheesy Core Burrito that is available at a price of Php139 ala carte and P179 for the set meal that comes with nachos and soda.

So, any mommies out there who's brave enough to take on the offering of Shakeys.

A nice treat for DQ fans with a sweet tooth and cold perhaps. #DairyQueenPH, one of todays favorite ice cream bran, rolls out something sweet and interesting for their customers. Making New Year a mouthwatering year as DQ spice up a bit their Blizzard collection. Taking the typical ice cream experience level up with Dairy Queen's Blizzard of the Month, the all-new and first of its kind flavor the Toblerone Blizzard.


During the launch of the Toblerone Blizzard I was able to take a dip on all of their flavors. We all know that Toblerone is one of the chocolate brand we always expects as "pasalubong" when relatives from abroad comes back for a vacation.

This is my first time to write about GoodAh and to think that this restaurant has been around for quite some time made me rekindle my good old days of eating lugaw (gruel or poridge) and tapsis (tapa and sinangag or fried rice). As I recall it, the establishment is known for its serving of Filipino breakfast meals and what's interesting is it's tag line of Open 25 Hours knowing that we only have 24 hours a day.


Now, in one of its newest branch in Baclaran, where devotees went to every Wednesday, media and bloggers were invited to witness the opening of the store. Aside from the opening is the new dish that GoodAh rolls out to their menu as another selection for the hungry masses. An opening of a new store and launch of a new dish.
With already 7 stores plus the newest branch in Baclaran that is Open 25 Hours, GoodAh!!! launched it's "KKK" or more specific as "Krispy Kare-Kare". The dish uses ground peanuts  to give that traditionally rich and earthy flavor for the kare-kare sauce. A large bowl is fille dwith cooked string beans, talong, pechay, and of course the puso ng saging because it woouldn't be much of a kare-kare without one of the main ingredient. To complete the recipe a good amount of soft and juicy beef flank joins the dish. Sauteed shrimp paste gives the Kare-kare a different dimension to its play of flavors. This is the classic Filipino dish that is loved by everyone.



But for GoodAh!!! they made a playful twist with the dish making it a lot more interesting to savor. The usually gamey ox stripe or what is commonly termed by Pinoys as the "tuwalya" is a tough one to eat especially if it is not cooked properly. GoodAh!!! did is that fried it to give a crispy texture that makes a very fine contrast with its rich sauce. Enticing and intriguing that is what GoodAh!!! made out of the usual Kare-Kare that we all, Filipinos love very much. GoodAh!!!'s Krispy Kare-Kare is available in every store for just Php 299 a la carte and for the set meal it is just Php339. Affordable enough for the whole family or barkadas to enjoy.

The opening of  the 8th store and the launch of the new dish is graced by its brand ambassador and celebrity talk show host, Mr. Boy Abunda.
