Shakey's Mojos Supreme Tuesday, September 04, 2012

So the kids and I finally got to try out the Shakey's Mojos Supreme with its 3 different dips. As a big mojo fan I have to say that all of my cravings were indeed satisfied with this bucket. The dips were OK, but I still personally prefer their Zesty Caesar dip.

I Love KFC's Double Down Sandwich! Tuesday, November 16, 2010

Last Sunday Henry and I had the chance to try out the Double Down sandwich from KFC. It's priced Php 110, and you need to order at least Php200 worth of food to be delivered to your home.

Basically, this sandwich is made up of two pieces of chicken fillet as the "bread" of the sandwich, and in between are strips of bacon and semi-melted cheese. At first bite, the combination of flavors and taste will explode in your mouth. Henry loves it and I do too, but I think it is TOO good. What do you think?

Today's Breakfast Experience Saturday, June 19, 2010

Since my eldest daughter is back to school, we've all been waking up really early and even though it's a Saturday today, we ended up waking around the time we normally would if my daughter had classes. Since we didn't have anything else to do that early in the morning, we decided to drop by a nearby fast food chain for breakfast. 

We all hopped into the car with our PJs on as we were going for drive through anyway. My husband got the car running, but I wondered what the strange sound we were all hearing was. Turns out, the left tire at the back of our car was literally flat. We knew there were nearby wheels and tires shops, but what we weren't sure of is if they would be open that early in the morning, not forgetting the fact that it's a weekend.

As expected, the first shop we went to was closed, but the second one we visited was just in the process of opening. My husband had the car running very slowly and the hazard lights on, as he didn't want to force the already flat tire. It was funny how people kept waving at us on the road and signaling our tire was flat. But all in all, this is definitely one breakfast we'll never forget.

Disaster Turned Success Sunday, May 23, 2010

I was supposed to cook pork adobo today, but since I was really, really short of sleep and I wasn't in the highest of spirits when I woke up, I accidentally cooked the beef we had in the fridge instead of the pork. I only realized until later that it was beef I was actually cooking when I had the pot boiling and I was throwing away garlic cloves and the wrappers. The bag read - beef cut ups and I was like, oh no.

I've been thinking about expanding our menu since I always end up cooking the same meals, and I've been browsing the internet for dinner ideas. I didn't think my new menu would happen today, lol!

For the beef adobo I ended up making, I used half a kilo of cut beef, garlic, pepper, soy sauce and vinegar. You need to take equal parts of soy sauce and vinegar, and then some pepper. Combine this and the beef in a bowl and marinade for 30 minutes to 1 hour. Then, take out the beef (but don't throw away the sauce where you marinated it) and saute it with finely chopped garlic and cooking oil. Once all sides of the beef is brown, pour over the soy sauce with vinegar combination you used to marinade the beef with and that's it! Serve it hot.

I honestly did not know beef adobo tasted really good. After I tasted the meal, I was surprised that it actually tasted great and then I decided to search the internet if this recipe was even possible, or if someone has already made it. I know chicken can also be made into adobo, and I was pleased when I found the same recipe for beef. What I thought would be a disaster ended up in a successful meal for my family.
