Mocha Blends
Mocha Blends is a cafŽ–one of the few we hadn’t tried until last weekend. We went to see Ice Age 2 at the Robinson’s East Mall and we decided to have an early dinner first. Dinner was at Star Carrots (I’ll post an entry about that next) and we wanted to have dessert and coffee [...]

Sweet and sour boneless tilapia fillets
Small fish like tilapia are sold whole in the wet markets–heads, tails, fins and even entrails. You can have them gutted, scaled and cleaned but they will be weighed before any parts are removed. The bigger ones are sold by the kilo, either as cross-cuts or fillets, but not small ones. It all really translates to how much in a kilo of fish is actually not edible. Unless you’re making a stew or a soup and you want the fish heads to flavor the broth or sauce, it’s really cheaper to buy fillets.
Hence, when I saw boneless tilapia fillets in the supermarket, I couldn’t resist. At PhP 78.75 per kilo, the price tag was really, really good.

Favorito ice cream
Been seeing this ice cream brand in the supermarkets for some time now but didn’t get to try them until about a month ago. Right, I took the photo a month ago and forgot to post the entry. Anyway…
It’s called Favorito Ice Cream. Cheaper than Arce, Selecta and Nestle, a half gallon of Favorito ice [...]

Green mango juice
Mangoes that are just starting to ripen are best for making green mango juice. The skin is usually still green but the meat–or pulp–is starting to turn yellow. The very green unripe mangoes, usually diced for salads, don’t make very smooth purees. The ones that are still sour but with the meat starting to soften towards ripeness are the ones that make wonderful green mango juice…

Roast pork asado
The more common way of cooking pork asado is to braise a slab of pork until tender then slice it afterwards. The Chinese way of cooking pork asado is to roast marinated pork tenderloin (lomo). The difference, of course, is in the way the dish is served. Braised pork asado is served swimming in its thick sweet-salty sauce. Chinese style pork asado is served as a dry meat dish with a dipping sauce on the side…

MMLDC’s Areva Pavillion
We had passed by the MMLDC compound along Sumulong Highway in Antipolo hundreds of times, literally, but never ventured inside. We had been told that they had a restaurant that was open to the public but, for one reason or another, we never went. Perhaps, because the gate looked too imposing. Prohibiting, actually. Like it [...]

Bagoong (shrimp paste)
After dinner and shopping at the Gateway Mall last Saturday, we proceeded to Tiendesitas at the kids’ prodding. Despite the heat, and ventillation at Tiendesitas is just terrible, I didn’t object. I could buy the smoked bangus (milkfish) pate from the Sanctuario food stall which I haven’t been able to find anywhere else. My 12-year-old [...]

Duck Duck China Gourmet
We were at the Gateway Mall in Cubao, Quezon City, last Saturday evening with friends. The plan was to have dinner at one of the numerous restaurants there and to go shopping if there’s anything interesting. By the time we got there, shopping was the farthest thing from my mind. We were all very hungry. [...]
