Spicy Lunch

I am just a semi-fan of spicy food. I like it on certain days that I have cravings but I don't really like my food extra spicy. In my opinion, it's nice that in a way it excites my tastebuds but I don't like the aftertaste and sometimes I feel that it numbs my mouth. Or maybe that's just all psychological. Haha!

Anyway, one Friday lunchtime, which is supposedly lunch-out day for most of us, we chose to fill our tummies with Indian Cuisine. So off to New Bombay we went which is conveniently just across the street from our office building.

Food:

Chicken Kheema (Keema) Hyderabadi - Minced Chicken Meat, Spinach, Green Curry.



Butter Tandoori Naan - Indian flat bread made from wheat and baked in a tandoor (clay oven)


The chicken dish was too spicy for me because we ordered it 'Medium' hot style. You'll be asked whether you like it Spicy, Medium or Mild. We should have said 'mild'. Oh well, until our next spicy lunch date. :)

Ba-Bye Ate

Today was quite a sad day for our family. For a very close-knit family, goodbyes are really extra difficult to say . Especially if the one leaving will be miles and seas away.


My Ate (with her husband) left this morning for the US. They'll be starting their new life there. She already has work so I don't need to worry about that anyway, and I'm sure that she'll definitely do well. My parents were really sad... maybe it's the thought of being "away" from her. Tipong you have to hop on a plane pa just to be able to get to her. The whole family has US visa naman, we can go there anytime (as long as we have the money I guess :p)

Yes, I cried a lot as well... and I guess it's because of all the bilins I got from her. The one that stuck the most "Ikaw na bahala dito ha.. Alagaan mo sila Mama and Papa. Si Ivan ha... Wag mo silang pabayaan." My nephew on the other hand was a different story... he was eager to go home already when we got to NAIA. Haha! We were asking him if he'll cry when his mom and dad leaves, his reply was "No." He knows that he'll be following next summer. :)

I guess we'll all arrive on this crossroad soon? That certain phase wherein we need to start our own lives elsewhere and follow our own paths.

Keep safe Ate and Odj! Take care of each other. See you next year.. US Open season. :D

The Red Cups

pic is from here. Thanks!

Yes! The red cups are back. I just had my non-fat Toffee Nut Latte.. And it's just perfect for this morning's gloomy weather. Too bad the Praline Mocha is no longer part of the line-up. I raved about it before in my previous blog -> HERE

Oh well.. I still love my Toffee Nut. :)

Grab a cup then stare at the pouring rain. Hehe.. Emo indeed. =p

//edit

Here's another blog's entry about the planner designs -> HERE!
Just found out that the free coupons are back! Yay!

Dimsum Day

I was craving for some dimsum one weekend and I wanted it 'fresh' and newly cooked. So fastfood Chinese restos won't do. Thought about it for a while, then Causeway immediately was one of the choices. It won because it was the one closest to home plus Arvic was at Quezon Avenue for his dental checkup. :)



At Causeway, Dimsum is served for P45 each only from 2pm-6pm (if I did remember it correctly). A cart is being pushed around the restaurant and you get to choose once it reaches your table... Kuya was kind enough to explain each..





Our orders: Siomai, Sharksfin, Spareribs. Yumyumyum!!!
Wallet Damage: P180 only! Sulit!


Free hot tea is served as well per table.

Go give it a try. :)

Our Favorite BBQ Sauce

..of course must be partnered with our favorite ribs! Ooooh so saucy! ;p

We celebrated our 26th by having lunch at Racks. :) We have been 'dieting' for weeks now and this was our cheat day. We enjoyed the food of course.



No pics of the ribs.. we were too hungry already and forgot all about taking pics. I can't imagine eating Ribs at Racks without the sauce. It just compliments the meat really well. But for some reason, I have this feeling that the regular sauce is spicier than usual lately. Maybe my tastebuds are all confused with all the dieting I've been doing. Haha!

Another one of my Cravings

Lately, I've been craving for yogurt. And it's a good thing that there's Red Mango already in Greenbelt 3. Since the first time we tried it, we've been going back quite often..

Our favorite toppings: Blueberry, Mangoes, crushed chocolates :) Yummy!

Now you see it...



Now you don't...




We tried the GreenTea Yogurt too the last time we went and it was good as well. We shall try it with no toppings the next time we visit.

People are really lining-up to get a taste of Red Mango! I'm wondering if this will just be another craze just like what happened when Krispy Kreme opened up here... Hmmmm..

Bottomline, it's delish and I will be back for more. :)

Flowers

A Buddha quote:

“If we could see the miracle of a single flower clearly,
our whole life would change.”

No wonder girls love getting flowers. :) This was the table centerpiece in my friend's wedding reception. I love love loved it! It just makes you realize how beautiful our world really is... Now let's go save it. :)

Happy Birthday Ma!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MA!!!

We Love YOU!

My Popper Boy

Over the weekend we attended a close friend's wedding, and of course it was a very solemn and nice ceremony. As we exited the church, Arvic was asked to be part of the 'popping' team or whatever that's called. One of the things I love about Arvic is how playful he is. Just look at how excited he was as he waited for the go-signal to twist the party poppers.

And then...


Yay! :)
