Zamboanga: La Tienda Cafe - Hang-out place

I've been a fan of their juice concoctions. This time I got a Pink Lemonade.

Cassava cheesecake - Never tasted anything like it. But it was good. =)

Lasagna - was a bit ho hum. Lacked flavor and cheese.

Ham and egg on English muffin - meh. A bit too simple and too bland for my taste.

Crabwhich FTW! - Now this is the real winner. Imagine, real crabs - shells removed, dipped in thin batter and fried to a crisp. They managed to keep the white meat soft and succulent. That on top of greens and tomatoes (I removed the onions =P) over a warm croissant bun. <3 <3 <3

Strawberries and Cream Frappe - I asked the store guy if they used real strawberries, he said yes.  Now look at it, just from the looks, one would know that they did not use any real strawberries in it.
To store guy: Seriously, I'm from Baguio and I would know. Next time, don't tell a lie.

Fudge Brownie - Thou shall not buy this brownie again.

Zamboanga: Greenfield Mano-mano

Zamboanga: Garden Orchid Hotel

Hot coffee

Brazo de Mercedes

Iced Choco Mint Frappe

I am disappointed with the service, the ambiance, the presentation, the taste and the price.

This will not happen again.

Ukokkei Ramen Ron

I've been meaning to use the Spot.ph Top Ten book that my Aunt gave me and here is where it led us...

Best ramen house in the city. (Accdg to spot.ph)

We ordered the "best" ramen.
Tan tan men  - They only make 10 bowls of this a day. We were lucky we arrived  early (5:45pm) else, we wouldn't have tasted this exquisite find. =)

My Aunt and I shared one order so we could taste other ramens as well. Notice the green onions on the side? That's my making. =P I asked them to separate the onions so I could eat with gusto. 

According to the guide book, Tan tan men is to be eaten paired with the Japanese egg below. 

And I must say, Tan tan men + Japanese egg = Ramen Heaven =))

Prawn salad - I also loved this! 

I forgot the name of this ramen... Yes, it was forgettable. I suggest you stick with the Tan tan men. =P

Chelsea Breakfast

I could eat here forever! <3<3<3

Kopi Roti

This is my first Manila meal after three months at the field...

Kopi float and kopi roti bun FTW! =D

Zamboanga: Lantaka Hotel by the Sea Cafe

Coffee was too sweet while cake was ho hum.

Red velvet cupcake - ho hum

Kiwi lemonade - my new fave! =)

FaBurrito at The Columns

After watching Rock of Ages The Musical at RCBC Theatre, my Aunt and I dashed to Faburrito to get a good meal.


We each ordered a "Burrito Box" (Burrito of choice + Iced mint tea + Veggie chips and salsa). <--BANG FOR THE BUCK! =D

Iced Mint Tea - cool and refreshing

veggie chips and salsa - I loved the veggie chips and although the salsa had onions,  I did enjoy the mangoes in it. 

ON THE LEFT: Chicken Burrito. Mango BBQ Chicken with corn, brown rice, black beans, cucumber yogurt, and salsa, all wrapped in a whole wheat tortilla.ON THE RIGHT: Vegetarian Burrito. Fajita mushrooms, vegetables, corn, with brown rice, black beans, cucumber yogurt, and salsa, all wrapped in a whole wheat tortilla.

I liked the chicken better. It was more flavorful and it had NO onions. =D

I've finally tried the Peppermint Milk Tea my sister was raving about aaaaaannnndddd..... I must say that it is really really really good!!! =D


In fact, I forgot all about taking a pic of it. Haha....


On a funnier note, I bought three drinks... the store guy asked for my name and even spelled it out just to note that it was correct.... Lo and behold when we got home, I noticed he placed different spellings on three different cups! LOL @ Moonleaf guy!

Slice: Watermelon Cucumber Cooler

Refreshing!

One shot!

I don't really drink but because the concoction looked so cool, I tried one shot... It was just that... ONE SHOT.

Johnny Rockets Revisited

The Houston a.k.a. my order - spicy burger with fresh lettuce, pepper jack cheese and nacho  jalapeno... meh... i should've gone for something cheesier.
