Well, hand made Grissinis tend to be thicker and twisted or oddly shaped...hence they look this way =)
They turned our pretty good! After pulling the first batch from the oven, I called on to my shobe! It was to be her late night snack! hehehehe They cool quite fast so they were consumable in a few minutes after baking.
here they are, cooling on the rack...
She liked them and ate them with Philadelphia Chive and Onion cream cheese! I tried them with nutella....it reminded me of Yan-yan! hahahah
They should be kept in air tight containers to keep them crisp! As you can see, my air-tight container is a bit short...so I just repacked them in plastic sugar bags and sealed them using an impulse-sealer =)
Yes! Yes! Everybody is here at last! hahaha Unfortunately, when we looked at the display counter of food (ala canteen style) ....we were still full pa talaga--so alas...no appeal! SAYANG! But, satiety shall not lead us to defeat! We forged through and ORDERED! hahahahaha We just picked out the food that we really, really want to try...
No this is NOT the house tea..this is the house soup! for FREE =)
It tastes like the water inside the Balut!
This is what we came for! It's called the CAMARO!--like bumble bee in Transformers! hahaha It tastes like....hmmm crispy and cooked like it was marinated in a bistek tagalog sauce and then pan fried =)
Their version is not the usual muddy looking dinuguan. The blood here is coagulated in small blocks..so they are uniform in size along with the other innards =) I like muddy dinuguan better, though I am not a fan of this dish!
It's stuffed with ground pork...redolent of a Relleno actually The whole thing is then deep fried! It tastes like fried stuffed squab! It's really good =)
By then, we were all famished! The extreme breakfast we had, have already been fully digested (and some reserved in our hips, thighs and buttocks! ;phehehehheeh)
... it seems like items here are cheaper...halo-halo at Php45.00...if I am not mistaken, its around Php60-70 here in Manila.
...it's not the airy type, its the more solid with "laman" kind...crunchy and great with vinegar!
It was dense and dry..but we finished it all because we were starving! hahaha
Others had this too. There was a sign there which says: Our Palabok is Timplado na..please taste before putting PATIS! heheheh Well, something to that effect! So we followed what the sign said, but we thought it did need a dash of fish sauce =) I am no fan of Palaboks, but I think this was just so, so.
So, is it any different from its Manila rendition?---Nah! It's the same. Taste great and still has lovely fine ice, that makes it so cool and refreshing. I just noticed the macapuno strips are in strips here and more generously put as that of in Manila. Oh and the leche flan too is more gereously placed atop of this yummy treat!!!
This is the Bluberry Waffles...or as Peachy calls them...Burberry Waffles! hahahaha
A foot long hotdog, two eggs (sunny side up, over easy), slices of ham and bacon, served with toasts and wedges of oranges....and boy did Oli's eyes pop open seeing this plate served to him!!!---GOOD MORNING OLI!!!!!! =D
Well, it's actually Fish and Fries served with honey mustard sauce. The fish is battered like that of for chicken strips and the fries and thick and crisp criss-cut ones.
It's good..the baked kind with blueberry marbling inside as an added bonus =)
YUMMMMMY!!!!!! I love it! The crust is great! Crisp and cooked perfectly! It's cheesey and tomato-basilly good! hahaha ;P
Yummy too!!! It's not too loaded with seafood...heck...I don't even recall finding any seafood! hahaha I think there were shripms etc...but the crust was great...it was cheesy and the toppings were there (basta)...so it was still good =)
It's loaded with Italian saugages, peperoni, basil, tomatoes, musjrooms, other sausages...the works! A meat lovers delight!
The pizzas were all good!!! I love the Margherita best! =) I checked out the bar list...from the BAAAR-TEN-DUR....hahha...and saw that they are still cheap! ;P 
....happily waiting for our food =)
...I like bananas and raisins in savory food! This was ok but isn't the authentic Cuban version of this has no tomato sauce? ---I'm not sure. It was alright. It had ground pork with raisins in tomato sauce, sevred with some pieces of bacon (one lang ata yun), fried banana slices and an egg on garlic rice.
I've eaten at SumoSam lots and lots of times, but last night was my first time to dine at their Power Plant branch. Yup, I think it opened a few months back. It's on the expansion wing just above where Beaty Bar, Lush and Tyler shops are. Oli, Ven, Chie and I were suppose to have dinner at Serendra, but alas..it was drizzling and traffic was awful on southbound EDSA. So we decided to chill at Power Plant mall. Ven felt like having some Japanese...as for the rest of us....man, we just wanted to get food---and fast because we were starving, especially Chie ;P hehehehe. Oli thought of Sumosam...decent Japanese food and fast! hahaha It was a real good thing the place was not packed for dinner, unlike in the Shang branch where its always teeming with customers and the wait, wait ,wait part is enevitable.
..kinda like the one I had at Nanohana...a tempura stuck in the middle of a maki
Slices of pan seared sesame seed crusted Tuna beside a salad =)
...that was not ours!hahaha The waitress took this one back =)
California Maki
Beef-Ebi
....yummy! Staring at this mold ladened wedge of glory, reminded be of our food microbio class. It was the firs time I met the Roquefort cheese! I think most of us then haven't tasted this type of cheese before, and in fact had not even dared to eat it! I recall that experiment so well, where we had to isolate the Penicillium Roqueforti (the fungus that is responsible for that pungent aroma and disctinctive taste). Our professor had us buy them blue cheeses and EAT them before we used them for plating! I was willing...most were mortified by the thought of putting it in their mouth!hahaha We had crackers to go with it----I tasted it---yuck?--oh no--wait---wow! An ardent sensory mishmash=). Since then my love for cheese began =) Late, but never too late, to realize the world of cheeses there is out there pala.
