The Ultimate Noodle from North Park

Best Noodle Soup Ever!

I love that it has everthing in it! Beef, mushrooms, dumplings, tendons... some might say its overkill, but for me it just tastes right! And the serving! I think it can feed up to 3 people. I don't mind ordering this again and again.

I Have Been Considering Putting Up a Business that Sells All Kinds of Waffles

I love waffles. If I can eat them everyday for breakfast I would.

Around 3 months ago, my sister and her boyfriend, Oliver, bought a wafflemaker for our house. I remember being excited because I love pancakes and I would sometimes pay a lot of money just so I can get a pancake fix from Pancake House or IHOP. My favorite is banana walnut and chocolate chip pancakes.

Now I know I started this post talking about waffles and now it got switched to pancakes but basically I consider them more or less the same. I use the same Maya Instant Waffles (the soft and fluffy pancake mix) and I still end up with crazy good results.

The first batch of waffles I made turned out great because I mixed in a couple of chocolate chips. The second batch I made was banana walnut and I could not taste the banana so much. And I already mashed up three bananas!!! 

Chocolate Chip Waffles

Banana Walnut Waffles

They are lovely aren't they?

Next stop: Cheese and Bacon Waffles!

Hapadog

Not your conventional hotdog. Your usual ketchup and mustard is replaced with wasabi and nori strips. Even your taco salad tastes like wasabi and nori since they believe "cheese" is so not japanese. Umay to the maximum level.

Verdict: although I have always been a fan to Japanese food (I like sukiyaki, teriyaki and sushi), Hapadog is just a poor attempt to introduce American food to a Japanese palate. The presentation's good though but it has to be edible as well. I don't think I'll be going back to the same establishment ever again.

Kaldereta and Pork Binagoongan by Kanin Club





Beef Enchilada by Mexicali

The verdict: Hugely disappointed. I used to be a fan of Mexicali's before but when we ate there last time I was really disappointed with their food. The enchilada tasted mediocre and the sauce almost made me throw up. Even the cheese enchilada was too overwhelming. And to think I had this before and I enjoyed it! But now it tastes just awful. Not going back to Mexicali's anytime soon. Need to find another joint that will serve delicious mexican food.

Le Croissant's Chocolate Peppermint Cake

Verdict: Most delicious chocolate cake I've tasted in months. Not too sweet and the cake's supermoist with a hint of peppermint. Even though you are not a fan of peppermint you will like this cake because the peppermint flavor isn't too overwhelming. The filling between is also peppermint and the chocolate icing is just right. I have nothing but praises for this cake. I brought home a box after having two slices from the pantry and Macy bought me another box so I had a total of two boxes. Per slice is 65php while the whole round cake costa 395php. Sucha small price to pay for this delicious, underestimated cake!

Creamy Pesto Malunggay by Tsoko Nut Batirol

Verdict: Yummy! Not too salty and I don't seem to mind that they used malunggay instead of the pesto-staple basil. Could use more shrimps though. Serving is just good for one person. For the price, pretty much ok.
