Viva AMiCi

Trivia : Amici in italian means friends of italian's food....

My Husband and I got the chance to dine again @ Amici, when we were busy processing our Marriage Requirements @ Don Bosco, past 3 in the afternoon and my hungry husband wants a quick snack (meryenda) somewhere near the church since we have to be back before 5 to get our wedding banns.


Amici was just within reach so we ended up munching their freshly made pasta and pizza.

 

so deliciousssss.....

very overwhelming,  the pasta is so moist and soft, you know it was made a few minutes before it was cooked.

the verdict say's - so so so 

To end our Italian "Snack" (Viva Merienda) I ordered pistachio - gelato for dessert, Uno say's its good and finished a small cup of it just in time for our appointment .....:D

Vietnamese Foodies

After the so many meetings and brain`brainstorming's, i decided to indulge for awhile... indulgence means my love for cooking, i went to the nearest grocery store and bought ingredients for my veggie spring rolls and ala phoa soup... naks! why Vietnamese fud? I have my rice noodles and my rice wrapper on stock, so to save a bit i just bought some of the things i needed, like the supposed to be pork loin, but to no avail i just bought the ordinary pique part, bought a lot of cilantro for it is a must if ure into Vietnamese cooking.... i still have squid balls too, so mostly veggies are the only one i need to buy.... and the shrimp of kors. Cooking what i want to eat is my outlet, if im too stressed and been over used (hahahahah) what i do is run to palengke or to the grocery store to look for ingredients..... its my one way of relaxing those nerves that has been used and maltreated for hours hahahahah!







i wont narrate how did i prepared it bsta its for u to find out hahaha (as if nman wlang step by step kembot)
... Take a look at the photos is did shoot myself; here some of it!

Little Tokyo - First Leg

When i said i love Japanese .... i mean it! and that means, I'm willing to splurge in whatever way i can to satisfy my curiosity and love for this thinggy...

Ive been crazy over Takoyaki, Okonomiyaki and soba's and some maki & sushi for the past 3 weeks. My multiply account can attest to that hahahahha. Ive been eating lots of japanese food lately until an office mate - friend learned that the grocery store named coop which was once at creek side of makati transferred in pasong tamo.... A bulb light suddenly appeared hahahahha .... i remember EM telling me that coop sells diff. varieties of Japanese Product for the price of "ALL 75".... thinking of cooking my own Japanese meals i wanted to visit that store...

Planning..... yeah planning when to visit the place and what will be the eksena after hahahahahah! I asked friends if they want to invade Little Tokyo? its a place where they copied tokyo's typical dine in ambiance, having those resto's who offers diff. kinds of Japanese FUD... there is one who specialize with Takoyaki 's- "HANA" , while some offers Bento meals - fastfud style-japanese version & there were triple 5* restaurants who caters to Gourmet style of Japanese cooking....

yes feeling tokyo tlgah

its like ure in tokyo tlgah mga amigah!

I invited 3 friends and its only Belen who is available at that time.... we left there house at around 9pm i guess? because were waiting for Jhe2 to arrive (na in the end inindyan kmi, award ka jhe). That night is so cold we both have to wear our jackey's.... we took picture's at the entrance gate & even capture the moment were we are on the spot choosing some stuffs to buy at their grocery store.

more ikmyl... busog eh

From there we went to HANA - the only japanice resto who sells authentic takoyaki and japanice cakes... We went inside and i saw this japanice style dining where u have to indian sit for u to fit in the table... i was so perky and really enjoyed the drama... i kept on saying ang Bonggah... i love it and so on and so forth hahahhaha! Belen even felt the same way since she told me that its her first time to dine in an authentic Japanice resto..... coool! we took pictures of course and we damn loveeet!



While waiting for our Takoyaki which is a BIG hit that night with a price of P100 for every 6pcs.... u will definitely feel full and woudnt mind passed with the dessert. Hana's menu is unique,its written in a whiteboard and the waitress would come to u and show that BIG blackboard.... Astig! pro they have their own menu card din... mdyo Hagard na nga lang ang menu card...





We ordered sukiyaki don w/out ramen, miso soup, kimchi buta and takoyaki's..... were so full really, i thought that would be bitin for us bcoz i know how wide belen's stomach is hahahahahah (mor pa mare kulang pa). Pero we didnt finished all the orders bcoz were so full we just wanted to stay there ang smoke and do our rituals.... not the other rituals hahahahhah i mean our berahan session.... we are both madaldal kse and puno ng kwento kya we stayed there until they closed their store hahahahha.Pang closing ceremony kamez.....

the very famous TAKOYAKI
