O-paaah!

Festive, good food, old friends = happy dinner!

Check-in at Foursquare (a social networking locator application on smartphones) and get a flaming cheese for free! Flambe'd mozarella on a cast iron pan & buttered french bread on te side!

First get dips....
Then go for the salad - insist on the one with the grapes & walnuts..
Meat....
Rice or Fillers... In our case, we got the paella :)

Sing happy birthday and embarrass your friend, the celebrant. Then fight to eat the ice cream freebie :)

Sincere Restaurant, Banawe, QC

Image
Banawe Street in Quezon City is the place to go if you are craving for Binondo-type of Chinese dishes but find the travel downtown too tiring. Sincere Restaurant is an offshoot of our beloved Sincerity Restaurant along Nueva. They are famed for their mouth-watering staples: Kiampong, Sincere Fried Chicken, Oyster Cake. Chinese Kikiam is the bomb! Authentic and will make you avoid the flour-ful kikiam sold on streets. Dip these on the gravy and your rice bowl will be gone in no time! Chinese atay and kidney dish... I don't know a better way to call it but in Chinese maybe? "Cha Yo Tsi and Ti Kwngwa" A closer look at the kiampong or sticky adobo rice mixed with meat and gabi topped with adobo peanuts. The star who sits on the throne together with the sweet fried chicken: Oyster Cake. Yes, they're all oily so better pair 'em with tea! Best is, your p1,000 feeds 5 people already! Enjoy!

"Wala ka sa BAUNAN ko...!" - this is a common statement amongst us lunch groupie. Comparison on the effectiveness of the food containers or lunchbox (as we fondly callthem in Nursery). Have you ever bring lunch or warm food to the office, only to find it cold when it's time to dig in? Well this happens to us A LOT. Thus the search for the best BAUNAN . Food prepared in the morning, whether it be left-overs or newly-cooked, were put to the test w/ the following containers found at home: GLASS w/ plastic lids: heavy, but more health friendly, as opposed to using wholly plastic (supposedly). See the likes of Lock&Lock, Glass&Lock. ROUND, insulated containers: old-school, reminiscent of picnics w/grandma at Luneta, but soup still turned cold. :( THERMAL liquid containers: also reffered to as "thermos", derived from the brand itself that earned its reputation by keeping hot water... hot! Yup, this baby can store hot h20 ...

BBQ Sukiyaki Steak Rice Bowl

Image
I miss BEEF already!  Good thing dad is a fan of sukiyaki-cut beef. These packs are a regular in our freezer since dad believes that these are very versatile: for soup, grilling, as additional meat in dishes... and I've loved it ever since. I'm kinda feeling lazy to experiment so since we all love rice toppings, I just steamed our left-over rice on the stove. To think I cooked a lot last night in preparation for breakfast coz dad said we ran out of bread already.  Well, he went out early this morning and brave the heavy rains & flooded streets to the nearest bakery 2 blocks away to buy fresh pandesal! Alright, let's get back to the beef. Take 'em out of the freezer a good 2hrs before cooking to thaw nicely. Soak (together in its container) in room temp water to hasten thawing process.  Then look through your pantry for your mom's magic potion. My mom's is this: Soak just enough for the meat. I placed three tbsp for eac...
