One Date: Saturdate - Krung Thai

Hey hey heyyy! :)I thought I have posted this while back. But it seems I forgot to push the publish button. Silly me and now I have to do it all over again to just get the description and time right. Boo hoo!

So yeah, one Saturday back in February, I treated BB with Thai food at Krung Thai. I always wanted to try out this place. Last time we attempted to dine here was when I was with Jamie and they were already closed. I think we got there around 9 or 10ish pm.

Krung Thai is located at the back side of the Marikina Public Market. It is quite small which can accommodate less than 20 people or so.When BB and I got there it was just in time for early dinner and a few were already there. We got a table beside the window. They promptly got our orders and served us water.

 

I ordered Pork Binagoongan with Thai Salad on the side. 

First, I love the salad! It has mango and carrots and turnips with sweet dressing (can't describe what type it is) with peanuts. The binagoongan is cooked well, as the meat falls off easily. The rice is Jasmine rice with bagoong of course.

I under estimated this meal as I thought that it'll be just "OK". But this is a very heavy meal that I was not even able to finish it.

I ordered beef in red curry for BB. Good enough for 2 people to share, this is not the usual curry that we cook here. It has a peanut-ty taste and of course the taste of coconut milk and it is kind of sweet. The beef strips are well cooked and no hard time in eating it.

I wouldn't miss ordering Pad Thai of course! Very Delish!

The bill came around 700-800 php in total. not bad at all for the amount of servings and we even had to take some home. I really like their binagoongan rice the most!

I ended the night with White Hat Frozen Yogurt near our place. Brownies and Banana Slices in Caramel sauce. OOMF!

So yeah that's about it! I haven't really had anything new since for some reason I'm actually working.

But I promise to post something nice soon.

Happy Eating!

Boracay Diaries

Last year, yes last year.. no actually last month last year. =) we all went to Boracay for some QT and Relaxation for 5 days. I really don't want to go into details but it was one heck of a vacation. Just a few stills from our everyday lounging,drinking,dancing,partying,eating and other crazy stuff! It was really a week to remember before Christmas :)

Roku

There is a new (or maybe not) establishment inside NAIA T3. I can't remember if Roku has been there for quite a while or what. But I have been seeing their billboard in Katipunan and I always wanted to try it.

So before getting on a plane bound to Boracay, we had a quick lunch at Roku.

For some reason and I don't know why the heck I am missing the shot of the seafood ramen for Je which is totally yummy! Its a huge bowl of  seafood ramen! I think I'm going to try their ramen again.

Jelly got Tonkatsu. Generous portions too! tastes a ok. I just like the idea of putting black sesame seeds on their rice.

BB got chicken katsu which we shared/ Huge bowl too with a generous amount of rice and chicken.

Another close up.

Sorry for the not so descriptive entry. I am going to blog real soon :) I promise!

Happy Eating!

Big D's Smoke House

Since I was really in a bad mood which started on a Monday. I went on a shopping spree to ease myself. To end my day just fine, I told bb I wanted to try the taco's at Big D's in Katipunan.

Just beside Hassan's Big D's Smokehouse focused very well on their interiors. Everything is car and motorcycle related. They have diecasts on sale on the left side and Oil can seats to accommodate. I am a huge fan of cars and diecasts and appreciate the setup.

So here is their sample menu which I got from their facebook page.
I can't really say that it's cheap nor expensive. It's like it is a bit over priced. I also wish they have more on the menu.

 

I was very intrigued by their huge tacos.

Chicken costs more than beef. This is priced at 150php while chicken is at 175.

So yes... we are just amazed how big it was. The question is how do we start eating this?

Whats inside the taco by the way? Some melted cheese more of shredded veggies and on the bottom part about 1/8 of the taco rests the cheese and the ground beef which is awesomely good. I was just of disappointed that the whole thing has more veggies than the meat. But its good. The taco shell aint taco shell. Its like Lumpia wrapper. So yes that made me a bit disappointed too. But don't get me wrong. I loved the whole thing its just that with what is inside 150 is just too much.

This is the Total Wreck Burger. Which also costs 150php. Just regular sized bun with oversized meat patty. I think they were having fun with the Cheese sauce. So whats in it? Bottom to top?

Bun - Beef Patty-Coleslaw-Im tasting pinepapple-Cucumber-Tomato-White onions-Cheese-Mayo-Bun and a toothpick to hold everything together. Nothing spectacular really. If I am selling a burger like this with its name, Ill include potato wedges, bacon in huge buns then deep fry it. And thats what you call a total wreck!

CDO Diaries : Jatico

The next day after Alecs and Jhex arrived, we had the afternoon for Jatico. Since everything is just random and unorganized, Instead of few hours to Bukidnon, we headed to Jatico instead. I checked their site and it says that there is 150php roundtrip transfers from Divisoria to the park. However we were only 5 and they won't schedule a trip. BB... who knows somebody who knows somebody who owns something.. thankfully we were able to get a ride going to Jatico and back to Divisoria.

So while we wait for our ride, we stayed at Park Cafe and I was able to take pictures of this lovely pastry shop and super evil cupcakes from The Sweet Shop. Too bad I wasn't able to buy a piece since we were all geared up for our adventure.

CDO Diaries: Inilog Grill

Wednesday night when some of our friends arrived after the Missy Bon Bon dessert comes first, we had a late dinner at Inilog Grill. Like Dear Manok, the place is just enormous... more like spacious. I really don't have a decent picture of the place because it reminds me of the glow in the dar bar in Boracay. So what I thought was that this place is like more of drinks less food but hey! I was wrong! They have a sink which for a minute will make you feel dumb because you have to step on a button on the floor to have water.

Just like Dear Manok, we ordered the same meal plus squids. Again, for less than a hundred bucks you have chicken bbq and unli rice.  Enjoy your meal while live performance from locals keep you on the mood. BB said that the guy who performs there is the same guy while he was still in college. That must be a living :)

Check out my glow in the dark plate!

Hello Chicken...

I wasn't kidding when I said it was like the menu in Dear Manok. For a little less than 300 pesos another bulalo night.

Calamares on the side

Sizzling Pusit

Everything tastes so damn good and the price is just reasonable. Food is reasonably priced and good that I wish there are these types in Manila. This is one thing I like about CDO. FOOD, Chillax life and one hell of vacation.

So yeah after that we had karaoke for 3 hours for 180 pesos an hour. The room is just big with disco balls and internet. I love it there I swear.

CDO Diaries: Missy Bon Bon

Another reason for me to fall inlove with CDO is Missy Bon Bon. I promise you that they have the best pastry in town. On our second night, we hung out at Missy Bon Bon located outside Lim Ket Kai Mall, adjacent to Starbucks. I can only imagine girls hanging out in this place but I was surprised that old folks who looks like rich business men hold their meeting nights over coffee.

During weekends, there are trivia nights and it's fun to come over with the family.Only because I wanted to try their gelato as suggested by BB's brother, I swooned over their sweet pastries on the racks. It was one sugar overload night.

Warning picture overload! :)

Look how cute their logo is. :) Makes me feel like I'm in a different place. Everything is super dainty!

You'd have to wait for this. They have buy 1 take 1 during weeknights. It is definitely worth it!

I went crazy over their gelato station. Look how pretty they are!  Good thing you can select 3 flavors in one big cup. It aint that pricey either.

Want a taste of their blueberry cheesecake and other refrigerator cakes? I wasn't able to take note of the 2 other cups :(

Hooorayy for breads, smores bar, peanut brittle bars, revel bars and loaves and everything sweet!

Looks pretty yay! :) And I tell you it tastes heavenlyyy!

Say hello to my Chocolate Mint - Mixed Berries Yogurt - Peanut Butter Fudge!
