Sebastian's Ice Cream finally in Makati!

Finally! Sebastian's Cookie Dough Chilly Burger in my hand!! Bought this at The Market in Tiffany building along Leviste st., Salcedo Village, Makati. Got it for P130 which I can hardly finish because it's so big! Shared it with a friend. Dive bars also available. :)

Mochi. Vanilla Ice Cream. Simple.

In this time that mochi balls are everywhere, I found this pack at Yamazaki Grocery in Makati. What differs this one from the others is that, its mochi wrapper is so thin you don't have to wait for 5-10mins for it to thaw. Which I think is a good thing. Waiting for a mochi ball to thaw is kinda anti-climactic for me, if you know what I mean. P85 for a pack of 2. Nomnomnom.

Spring Time

Noodles and dumplings will always be considered as delightful treats. In the busy city of Makati, along the street of Benavidez, I discovered this small but interesting restaurant called Spring by Ha Yuan. It has a bright interior (which doesn't show on my photos much because I was with my trusty iPad #explain) and the fact that you can see their "taho and lumpia bar" gives them a plus. It's actually appetizing to look at.

 

We started our dinner with a plate of Poached Shrimp and Spinach Dumplings. These were generously stuffed and each dumpling is big too. A plate of 5pcs costs P90.

 

The next we had was their specialty called Maki Mi. It's a noodle dish with lots of tender pork loin in thick soy broth. Thumbs up for the noodles but the broth is too thick for me. I prefer eating this with chili sauce. It's very filling and this bowl, for P140, is good enough to share.

 

I always end my dinner with a nice dessert and this Piggy Red Bean Pao is really nice to look at. Too cute to murder but I ate its nose first anyway. P40 each. I bet kids and the kids at heart will love this.

 

It's a nice place to dine since it kinda takes you away from crowd of the mall. Eat well people!

Wee Nam Kee

My schedules for the past week had been really cuhrrrrrazy! Juggling a day job, a business and sidelines is tougher than I thought! And I’m pretty much happy that I got to escape one night with my friends to have a nice dinner!

I’ve been hearing a lot about how great Wee Nam Kee’s chicken rice is so we decided to treat ourselves there. There was a line outside and we pretty much waited around 30minutes for us to be seated. Don’t worry pals, it’s worth the wait.

A friend recommended us to get Wee Nam Kee’s Steamed or the Roasted chicken. Anyway to avoid confusion on what to eat, we ordered both steamed and roasted chickens! Yum!



 

These are both delicious dishes but I personally like the steamed chicken better. It goes well with the mixture of soy sauce and pounded ginger.  I was a little hesitant eating the steamed chicken at first but surprisingly, it’s very tender and flavorful! I’m not surprised why this gets a 2-thumbs up recommendation from friends.

 

Each table has its own tray of condiments. You can either choose to eat your wonderful dishes with soy sauce, pounded ginger or chili or have your own mixture according to your taste buds’ preferences.



We also ordered WNK’s pork chop. Breaded pork slices with a sweet and sour sauce on top.

  

Your whole WNK experience will not be complete if you don’t order their chicken rice! I like this so much! I had 2 cups! So yeah this is a good choice pairing it with their gorgeous dishes.

So there you go! After taking photos of yourselves and your loved ones in the beautiful Ayala Triangle in Makati, you might wanna try Wee Nam Kee.

Happy Eating!

Gelatissimo offers Yoghurt Gelato!

I’ve been an avid fan of Gelatissimo from the time that they opened their store in Greenbelt 5. Just looking on their vast choices of flavors astonishes my taste buds. Anyway I like gelatos better than ice cream because its denser, its more flavorful and creamier than regular ice creams. According to About.com, gelatos usually contain more fat than ice creams but from what I know, Gelatissimo’s sorbets are 100% fat free and 90% – 97% fat free for premium dairies. Anyway who cares, if you get fat, just buy a bigger pair of jeans. LOL

Bubba Gump

I attended 2 meetings in Makati yesterday and since I was already in the area, I called a friend to have dinner with me. So when my meetings are over, we decided to try Bubba Gump. It’ll be my first time to eat there so I’m like Run, Ram Run! Like Forrest! Wee!
