First Chick-Boy Experience

I've always wanted to try Chick-Boy's menu, bigla nalang syang sumulpot kasi diba? And when the worm scandal came out, it made me want to try their food even more! Ang weird ko lang.

We decided to visit Bardo last Sunday after church service. There's a Chick-Boy branch on the way so we decided to have our lunch there. Finally!

They served in-house soup while we're waiting for the food.

I ordered the very controversial  Ginisang Kangkong sa Bawang and luckily there's no worm in it! Haha. It costs 35php. Galit yata yung cook nila sa asin,  mejyo maalat e.

I also ordered their chicken inasal na paa. Forgive me pero walang lasa! It comes with unlimited rice pero dahil hindi ko sya bet, hindi ko manlang nasulit. Mang Inasal taste so much better, nakaka 3 rice ako dun e!

Jeff had Liempo Cebu. This is the only food na medyo ok, sakto lang ang lasa.

Look at their condiment bottles, is it a coincidence or they intentionally copied it from Mang Inasal? And they also have the chicken oil! Hmmmm..

Sorry Chick-Boy lovers and loyal supporters, it's just that the food doesn't gave my taste buds the pleasure they expected. Maybe to some it's good, just not to me! Out of 10, I'll give them 6. Kanya kanyang opinyon lang.

Anyways, here's Soleil's Sunday Outfit.

DIY Friday [B.2]

I've been busy the whole week reviewing Soleil for her periodical test and doing stuff outside. Plus Jeff decided to work at home for 2 days so I have no internet broadband to use. I wish PLDT install our dsl soon. I have many pending blogs to post that are resting on my draft folder for quite some time now. Anyways, since it's Friday today, here's another set of DIYs.

Call Me Maybe?

I love seeing unscripted videos of celebrities. I mean despite their busy schedules they still manage to spend time and have fun with their friends. And this is so cute!

Soleil Helped Me With The Dishes

(Please excuse our very dirty kitchen)
Soleil's been bugging me everyday to let her do our dishes. I refused to, well at least for now! She's only 6, she have all the time in the world to wash the dishes and will eventually get tired of doing it when she's older.

Guess what? I eat up my words! Because today I allowed her to help me. I let her do it but still with my guidance. Our plates are pure ceramics, it's heavy! She's in charge with soaping and rinsing while I'm the one holding it for her. I had to repeat washing it though cos there's still bubbles left to rinse. And this is the first and last time I'll let her help me, she can do it alone when she's 13. Maybe!?

I asked Jeff to capture this moment. My little barbie doll is like I said growing way too fast! I need to savor every moment we spent together.

Cuppycakes For Dyames

Dyames is Elaine's brother who is also close to me, he celebrated his 28th birthday yesterday. I gave him some cupcakes as gifts, printed some of his pictures from Facebook to serve as toppers. It's the same cupcakes we had on Soleil's birthday. See here. Elaine helped me prepare, she told them we personally baked the cupcakes, sarap na sarap daw mga kumain. Hahahaha!

Happy Birthday Ian! All the best!

The New Lanai At Kabisera

Gladys, Elaine and I met for dinner last night and syempre sa Kabisera kami. It's our favorite place to hang out and eat! The place looks more fascinating now than the last time I was there. The newly built lanai added a more home-y touch to the resto.You can tell that the owner loves antique pieces. And how it was furnished, pinag isipan talaga. I can live in there! If I were to build a house, I swear my garden would have an extension of it. The place is perfect for spending quality time with family and friends.

This afternoon, we came back to have lunch, no other customers but us so I took the opportunity to take pictures of the place. (As I promised on my first post)

Entrance

The menu is written on the blackboard, you need to walk up here to make your orders.

Veranda (right side)

I don't know what they call this area basta it's on the left side naman pag pasok. That long table is our fav spot!

I love this antique door with stained glass. (That's Elaine talking to her dad)

The Lanai. It is previously an open space with tables, now it has this.



Syempre dapat may picture ako.


Taken before our food was served.

Time to eat!


Note to our friends abroad: Sarah and Myles, When you come home, we'll bring you here. Chikahan ng walang humpay! Just like our Jack's Loft days. We miss you both!

Post Valentine's Dinner

A date with Soleil at Fortune Chinese Restaurant is Jeff and I's original plan but my siblings wanna come with us so we ended up having late dinner at Hi's : Hernz Ice Cream Specialties (pronounced as hays). It's a dessert shop but they also offer complete meal for the whole family. My siblings and nieces only ordered desserts for they already had dinner at home.

Jeff ordered Lechon Kawali (Php218) and Hi's Fried Rice (Php188). Good for 3-4 person.

I had a solo order of Spicy BBQ Spareribs (Php248). It is actually good for 2 if you are a light eater. Had to share mine with the rest. Dali ko mabusog.

Soleil and Ate ordered Banana Split (Php148). Tip: Choose the flavors you want when ordering this. They serve different set of ice cream per order.  Ate didn't like what they gave her. Mas type nya yung flavors nung kay Soleil. Waffle Bowl for Sam and Casey (Php58)

Red ordered Turon Ala Mode (Php98)

Sikreto ni Ambo for Kim (Php108)


Super busog na kami ni Jeff after eating dinner kaya hindi na kami umorder ng dessert. Inubos nalang namin yung natira ni Soleil.

Some of our pictures while waiting for the food.


The Place

Ang cute ng lalagyan ng bill

Kids tried the swing before going home


On a scale of 1 to 10, I'll give them an 8. I'm looking for a more diner feel, like those I see in the movies or at least a lil something like that. Tipong Johnny Rockets ba. Pero syempre expect pa ko, e nasa probinsya! The food is ok though, medyo natagalan nga lang before they serve. But we'll come back for sure. Their bubblegum ice cream is the best! It brings us back to our childhood, remember that cone shaped ice cream with gumball at the bottom? It taste exactly like that. Yum!
