Dainty Chairs and Desserts (Vanilla Cupcake Bakery. June 2013)

When I need a "pick me up", I go to Vanilla Cupcake Bakery and get my Banoffee fix!

Gastronomic Dinner at Vikings! (MOA. May 2013)

If you are looking for quality luxury buffet, check out Vikings! Truly a value for your money.

Midnight Bingeing at Banchetto Pioneer! (Boni, Mandaluyong. January 2013)

 

BINGE : a period or bout, usually brief, of excessive indulgence, as in eating, drinking alcoholic beverages, etc.; spree.

 

The atmosphere at work was very toxic thick that you could almost raise your finger in the air and write, KILL ME! Haha. So we decided to binge and go to Banchetto at 2am after we logged off from work. Of course we ate a cow and stuffed ourselves until we were happy from all the cholesterol rush!

I used to go to Banchetto Ortigas but when I saw that there’s a nearer venue in Pioneer Boni, I chose to patronize the nearer location (from Fort).

Here are some of the food available in Banchetto Pioneer.

Red Rice Day! (February 3, 2013)

They say 3 cups of red rice = 1 cup of white rice. Is that true?

I'm starting to eat rice again after 2 years of avoiding it. I promised my baby sister that I'm going to start eating rice again on her birthday (that was last week), so I did.

Been having stomach anxieties every time I eat rice though. And I don't like eating it anymore (YEY!).

Coffee and Ma Maison (Greenbelt 2, Makati. May 2012)

 

We got these tiny free chocolatey coffee from Starbucks in Glorietta 4. I love freebies! We had coffee at Starbucks to keep us awake all night because we had to work.

Pork Curry. (August 2012)

Getting used to eating home cooked meals and starting to dislike fastfood. Such a dilemma for me because I don’t cook.

God help me!

This Pork Curry was mouth-watering!

Sandwich Guy. (SM Megamall, Ortigas. August 2012)

I miss Sandwich Guy! They used to have a branch in Fort but I think it closed. I don't like bread, but Sandwich Guy makes me want to eat them, that's how good they make it.

Buddy's To The Rescue! (Makati. August 2012)

Date : August 2012
Buddy's Branch : Makati

With all the afternoon and evening rain, it's so tempting to just lay in your bed and continue your DVD marathon without noticing that it's past dinner. So one night, Buddy's delivery was the best solution. Tocilog and pancit, this is it!

Found a new pad thai sauce during a Thailand Festival in Glorietta last month. It wasn't bad, but I liked the old sauce better. This sauce was not so saucy.

Hope I could do the cooking next time in our new kitchen!

When I'm stressed at work, I want to do something else. Like eat and blog. Since, i'm busy, I'm keeping it short and tempting.

Sidcor Sunday Market (Quezon Ave., Quezon City. May 2011)

I found a new Sunday Market! Weeeeeeeeeee! Since Lung Center Sunday Market moved to Quezon Circle, having Sidcor is actually better since it's just under the Quezon Avenue MRT.

Sotanghon soup with patola is perfect for the rainy weather last night (Typhoon Ferdie?)! Overstuffed myself with this one. Photo a bit blurry coz the steam fogged my lens.

This was our dinner a few nights ago. Absolutely delicious! I made sure I chewed the malunggay so I won’t see it in my poop! Haha!

Chitchat at Village Tavern (Fort. June 2012)

Met up with my bestfriend and her sister for updates on our planned trips that we’re really hoping to go to! *fingers crossed*

Village Tavern looks like an elegant bar/lounge type restaurant located at the 2nd level of Bonifacio High Street Central. I have no clear photos of the food because I came late and it was quite dark outside. The food was nice. The area outside could use a mist fan though, I was perspiring despite the rain and there were mosquitoes that were threatening to eat me alive. Haha.

Will go back to get more decent photos.
