It's been a year since we last dined here at Mr. Choi Kitchen possibly all of my in-laws are not aware of it that we ate here also on the same date..hahaha!Also, this was the same date when my friend Choy had his despedida in Cavite in which I was not able to attend because of a foreboding storm..

TOKYO CAFE @ McKinley Venice Piazza

After the Adobo Run After Dark 2010, my husband enticed me to have dinner at Piazza since the running event is also there. Good thing that I saw the Tokyo Cafe which was advised to me by my friend Ghel. The other branch of this restaurant is at MOA and it is too far for us to visit, so I did not think twice but to dine here. 

Trying to have a super quick shot of the menu because our G11 is running out of battery..

Mango Smoogee 125php

Refreshing mango smoogee topped with mango jellies

Daddy looked too cute in this photo..The mango smoogee tasted like nutrilicious..hahaha!

 LOCO MOCO 135php

 We're trying to get a better and different shot of Daddy's meal..This meal is satisfying since we are somewhat hungry at this point due to the 5k run..hahaha!

FISH BURGER 180php

Breaded fish fillet, lettuce, onion and cheese in Kaiser bun

I loved the flavor of the fish, but Daddy did not like the dressing that much but for me it's fine since I do not want ketchup on my fish sandwich..

The Damage

Overall, I liked the food we ate here and will try to dine here next time! :)

CHAMPORADO na MALUFET

It's raining now because of the storm named "Juan" and the perfect food to start your day is none other than..CHAMPORADO!

This is the first time that I have cooked champorado from scratch and it's not easy as I thought..lols!

finished product..

This is Daddy's preference..Is it weird?

More cheese..He's not satisfied with the amount I put at first..

This is my bowl..I want to put some more sugar but Daddy does not want to buy from the sari-sari store..He said that the sweetness is enough and he does not want me to add anymore sugar..:( Talk about health conscious..lols!

ICEBREAKER SCRAMBLE @ mega

Another scramble invasion..I will not let this one pass..

 

 

 

So far, of all the three scrambles that we've tried, Manila Scramble is still the best for me..That's just my opinion..

BANCHETTO!!!

Finally, my husband and I get to visit the Banchetto Feast in Ortigas which was initially planned on October 8, 2010. But since some of my Cainta friends are not available at that time, we moved the date to October 15, 2010 (SAHOD!). I've read some blogs beforehand to have a glimpse of what to expect on this event..As expected there were too many people around the area and there was like a huge surge of them.

My husband and I were already there at 11pm because this is the set time I've told my friends..We've watched how the event started and they were still installing their food stands..We were sitting in front of the PLDT building at that time..

We were kind of bored at this moment because our friends have not yet arrived..

Here are the owners of the food stands and they are preparing to setup their areas..

Happy Halloween!!!

 another spider..

Ok..LIGHTS ON!And the people are starting to increase in number..

Alright, just a few minutes more and the event is about to start..

Abe and Mac have arrived..

And so are Ryan and Jeebs..

We were not able to purchase immediately at any of the stalls because there was a huge surge of people all around so we decided to wait till 1:30am and just drank a couple bottles of San Mig Light first at Eat My English..

When we head back, we went straight to the stall of Juicy Lucy but there were no more burgers for us..However, our friend Marko together with his girlfriend Fibi were able to score some for them, fortunately we got ours as well..YEY!!
