Filipino Food

We have been eating out for the past 3 weeks. The only times I've eaten home cooked meals was when we went to SIL's house for dinner. Other than that it has all been eating out for us. Every night we always have to think of where to it. It has been hamburger, sandwhich, pasta, pizza etc for the past weeks.
Last Saturday, T asked me on what I wanted to eat. I said I wanted some filipino food. We read of a filipino restaurant online that we have not tried and decided to go there. We had to wait around 30 mins to be seated and while waiting we noticed almost everyone was ordering crispy pata. We then decided we should order it too. To balance the pork we ordered pinakbet too. I'm not a pinakbet or a veggie fan but I liked their pinakbet. T being a dinuguan pass did not pass the chance to order dinuguan.

It was a yummy dinner that was extended to our lunch as we had food to take back to the hotel. The crispy pata they served was really good and one of the best crispy pata I've had. Even better than those I have had in back home.

Weight Loss

My most dreaded part of my now weekly check-up is every time they check my weight. I've been very good though and the weight I have gained during the whole pregnancy is within limits as they say. For last Thursday's check-up though, I lost 2 lbs. That came as a shock to me since we have been eating out E-V-E-R-Y-D-A-Y and I was even close to looking for weight loss programs to take after I give birth. But hopefully I won't be needing any since they say I can lose all the weight gained after I give birth with the right diet and with breastfeeding. So I think I can go out and reward my self with a yummy pastry this weekend.

This Strawberry and White chocolate cup is something we bought from a Taiwanese pastry shop at Irvine. I first thought it was going to be too sweet but I was wrong as it was not. It was really good. Now I want another cup.

Yogurtland

I have a new favorite!
I have not really tried Red Mango here but yogurtland is just so yummy! First, you get to pick the flavor that you want. you can try a bit of everything or just go for the usual plain tart of a mix of 3 flavors. And then you pick on what topping you want. You can get as many as you wish and then the cup is weighed. The only downside is if you get a lot of the toppings, you might have to end up paying more.

I think I would have to soon drink an appetite suppressant or else I would definitely gain weight.

Chicago Popcorn

I'm currently addicted to Chicago Popcorn.

We were at MOA last Saturday and we accidentally chanced upon the store. I asked T if we could go inside and have a taste of their popcorn as I have read somewhere that they have really good popcorn.
As we entered the store, the attendant informed us that they don't use any powdered flavoring for their popcorn and that if you buy a tin canned one, it can last for as long as one week. She gave us a sample and asked us to try the caramel one first (it was soooo good!) afterwhich the cheese flavored popcorn (really good too!) and just asked us to eat both and i knew I had to just buy.


We bought a Tin can to bring home and then we were informed that if we go back we can refill our tin can for only Php220. I know I will be back for more popcorn.

If you happen to be in the area, you might want to try some Chicago popcorn. Order the Chicago mix and Im pretty sure you won't regret it. The store is near Science Discovery Center and the Team Manila shop.
