Nestle Premium Dairy : Succulent Melon Milk

Naturally Creamy! Yummy! =D
Where to Buy : Groceries 
Price : P25

Nestle Melon Milk has always been my childhood favorite drink, I used to drink this before going to sleep, before there are people who peddle this on the streets but now you can find it only on the groceries. Melon really makes a good partner with milk, it tastes so good that's why even up to now I still drink this. =D I would rather buy the 1 Liter bottle, it's cheaper compared to those little bottles.

Wai Ying : Fish Fillet Rice in White Sauce


Where to Buy : Wai Ying Restaurant
Price : P120


Fish Fillet Rice in White Sauce is like their Sweet and Sour Fish Fillet Rice, the only difference is the sauce, here they use the white sauce with corn ( I'ts like Fish Ala King ). I like this better than the sweet and sour of Wai Ying, the fish taste better with the white sauce.

Dole : Banana

made of sunshine <- I don't know what they meant by this
Where to Buy : 7/11 Convenience Store
Price : P12

Dole Banana is the only real fruit you can buy at 7/11, it cost more obviously. The thing I like about their banana is that all of them as almost the same size and there are no "blackeye" on the banana ( the dark spots that I usually remove because I think it's banana cancer ).

Kamay Kainan : Tortang Talong

Overpriced Tortang Talong
Where to Buy : Kamay Kainan ( Food Court )
Price : P60 ( but varies )

Kamay Kainan's tortang talong is like everyother tortang talong that you can find in any pinoy carinderia, the only difference is that they are selling in a mall which makes it pricier.

* Kamay Kainan has long been a food court restaurant that sells Filipino Cuisine.
* Tortang Talong sells for only P15+ on ordinary pinoy carinderia.

Brothers Burger : Onion Rings

Yammeeh...
Where to Buy : Brothers Burger
Price : P65

Onion Rings will always be a favorite of burger lovers like me, a great alternative to the usual fries that all the fast food restaurants are offering. Their onion rings are big, round and crunchy just the way I like it, also the serving is big  =D

Brothers Burger : Brothers Lamb Burger

1/2 lb. flame-broiled lamb patty smothered with pesto and topped with feta cheese
Where to Buy : Brothers Burger
Price : P270 ( Ala carte )

Brothers Burger Lamb Burger is huge and delicious, the only thing that I didn't like is that they are stingy with their burger dressing, you have to pay more for more dressings. This is one of the few flame-grilled burger that you could find in metro manila.

* All their burgers are huge and does not come in meals ( you have to order fries and etc. separate ).
* You have to wait 15 minutes or more, because they cook your burger after you order.

Jollibee : Jolly Crispy Fries Sour Cream Flavor

tasteless... >_<
Price : P43

Jollibee's new jolly crispy fries sour cream flavor is pretty much tasteless, it looks like sour cream fries but taste like fries. I end up eating mine with ketchup so it will taste better, you should buy your sour cream fries from stalls that specializes in fries, they sell better fries than this. >_<

Wai Ying : Sweet and Sour Fish Fillet Rice

Sweet and Sour Fish Fillet with pineapples
Where to Buy : Wai Ying Restaurant
Price : P120

I don't like Wai Ying's Sweet and Sour Fish Fillet mainly because of their sauce, I think if they improve the sauce I could become addicted to their Sweet and Sour Fish Fillet. The fish comes in big serving, enough to satisfy your cravings, with pineapples to add flavor. It is still a delicious meal although it could be better. =D

Minute Maid : White Grape with Real Aloe Vera Pulp

wheeeeeee! 
Where to Buy : 7/11 Convenience Store or Groceries
Price : P42 ( 7/11 Store )

Pricey little goodie drink! this really taste like the real grapes plus the delicious aloe vera pulp! =D you shouldn't drink this with a straw to enjoy the tiny bits of aloe vera, couldn't find this in the groceries so I decided to buy it at 7/11.

* Minute Maid has the most natural juice drink in the supermarket I think. =D

Rufo's Famous Tapa : Tocino

mapapamura ka sa sarap


Where to Buy : Rufo's Famous Tapa Restaurant
Price : P89


Rufo's Tocino is nothing special, ordinary tocino that you can eat everyday, the tocino is somehow tasteless, good thing the garlic rice and egg is here to save the day! I think the tocino being sold in the supermarket is somehow better. >_<

Rufo's Famous Tapa : Pork Humba

tender pork shank and cutlets slowly braised in spiced soy-pineapple juice and topped off with a sprinkling of banana blossoms
Where to Buy : Rufo's Famous Tapa Restaurant
Price : P85


I only wished they served more meat than fats, this could have been a great meal, but too bad it only consist of 1/6 meat and fats all the way. I thought cheap carinderia are the only ones doing that kind of ratio  >_<

Wai Ying : Asado Chong Fan


Where to Buy : Wai Ying Restaurant
Price : P60

Asado Chong Fan is a total fail, you can only taste the wrapper and the soy sauce, the tiny tiny bits of asado is like left overs from other asado meals. Definitely won't be ordering this again. >_< 


Coke Regular with Lemon


Where to Buy : Mandarin Supermarket 
                       ( 777 Ongpin Street, Binondo, Manila )
Price : P23

Coke is already great by itself, but adding lemon to it makes it a little bit better! but if you can't find this kind of Coke in your groceries you can just add a little bit of calamansi juice to your coke. =D

* Mandarin Supermarket has a lot of imported drinks from Hong Kong. 

Del Monte : Fit n Right Pineapple Juice Drink


Where to Buy : Groceries and Convenience Stores
Price : P20

Del Monte Fit n Right Pineapple taste just like the real pineapple drink sort of, I still prefer the ones in can or in the 7/11 Juicer. =D 

* L-Carnitine has no scientific evidence on weight loss. Read more about it here
* Fit n Right in any flavor has a very similar taste aside from their respective flavors ( must be the L-Carnitine)
* Diet and Exercise is the oldest known effective way to lose weight!

Mogu Mogu : Orange Juice with Nata De Coco


Where to Buy : 7/11 Convenience Store ( or Groceries )
Price : P28

Mogu Mogu! cute little juice drink that is made from real fruit juice and contains tidbits of nata de coco =D I enjoy drinking this while chewing the nata de coco. Although it is only 330ml it feels like a 500ml drink. 

The Orange flavor is good enough but it taste kinda like every other orange juice there is ( except for the Nata De Coco ). 

* Drink this when very coooold. =D
* Do Not gulp down large amounts in a short period of time, take time chewing the nata de coco =D

Sizzlin' Pepper Steak : Tori Karaage ( Crunchy boneless chicken )

Crunchy boneless chicken marinated in ginger and soy sauce
Where to Buy : Sizzlin' Pepper Steak Restaurant
Price : P290

Wow! Tori Karaage at it's best! their Crunchy boneless chicken is sooooo tasty and soft, you could just order this plus rice and eat away! ( forget about the other rice meal because this is waaaaay better! ). =D the serving size is good ( great for sharing or for gluttons haha ).

Sizzlin' Pepper Steak : Meatball Pepper Rice

My Grandma can cook better meatballs than this >_<
Where to Buy : Sizzlin' Pepper Steak Restaurant
Price : P180

This is a complete disappointment, the meatballs are served in the same heated plate but whats the point of using it when the meatballs is already cooked ( you can't served uncooked meatballs then let the customer cook it ), it taste so bad that I ordered extra eggs to make it taste better. >_<  I should have ordered something else.

Wai Ying : Shrimp Chong Fan

Swimming in Soy Sauce =D
Where to Buy : Wai Ying Restaurant
Price : P60

Shrimp Chong Fan is like Hakaw ( Ha gao ), it is also shrimp wrapped in the same stuff but served in a different way ( swimming in soy sauce ). I think the shrimp here is smaller compared to their Hakaw. If you like eating Hakaw then you will also like eating this. =D

Wai Ying : Hot Salad Roll

Cherry, pineapple and I couldn't identify the other fruits
Where to Buy : Wai Ying Restaurant
Price : P60

Hot, delicious, sweet fruits and deep fried I think? three pieces of hot salad roll will make your day brighter. You could eat this alone or together with rice, a great side dish to be shared with your friends and family. This is served hot so you better let it cool off first before eating it. =D

Conti's Pastry Shop & Restaurant : Mango Bravo Cake ( Frozen )


Price : P120 ( slice ) P950 ( whole )

" Best Seller " is the term for this uber delicious and sweet Mango Bravo Cake. This cake consist of mango chunks, cream, cashews, chocolate mousse, sponge cake and chocolates drippings, the icing of the cake is too sweet for me but the inside is just super yummy, different layers of goodness waiting to be devoured. =D

CYMA : Chicken Gyro

With Tomatoes, Red Onions, Tzatziki and pita
Where to Buy : CYMA Restaurants
Price : P160

Their Chicken Gyro is sweet and wrapped in lots of lettuce, kinda hard to eat without getting messy. A great starter item for the big chunk of meats and pasta ahead! =D

Where to Buy : CYMA Restaurants

CYMA : Pastisado ( Greek Ossu Bucco )

Beef shank braised in Greek tomato sauce, served over spaghetti.
Where to Buy : CYMA Restaurants
Price : P380 ( solo ) P730 ( family ) P530 ( to share )

CYMA's spaghetti is thicker than others, I didn't like their spaghetti but what I did like was the Beef shank. Their Beef shank was so tasty and juicy that you will forget that it comes with the spaghetti, the solo serving size is big enough but when in a group of three or more you should order the family size ( bigger the better! more Beef Shanks! ). =D

CYMA : Hirine Brizola ( Grilled Pork Chop )

3/4 inch thick tender bone-in served with your choice of rice stuffed peppers or Greek roasted potatoes
Where to Buy : CYMA Restaurants
Price : P450

Two pieces of thick pork chop goodness that is what Hirine Brizola is all about! with pork chop this big and delicious you can just forget about the  side dish, it comes with lemon so you have to shower it first with lemon then slice it and eat! =D the meat is cooked really well, you can easily bite into it and chew away. =D I really love this pochaaaaap! =D

Wai Ying : Curry Beef Brisket Rice

looks like poop but taste so good! =D

Where to Buy : Wai Ying Restaurant
Price : P110

Wai Ying's Curry Beef Brisket Rice has been my favorite ever since my brother recommended it, at first look you wouldn't even think of touching it ( coz it looks somehow gross, I think it's because of the color ), looks can be deceiving and it proved to be a delicious meal. The beef is soft and has a spicy flavor ( must be the sauce ), mix the sauce with the rice to make it more tasty! =D 

McDonald's : New Heinz Ketchup

I Love Heinz Ketchup. Thank You Mcdo. =D

Where to Buy : McDonald's Fast Food Restaurant
Price : Free! =D 

McDonald's made the right move to change their ketchup to Heinz! I was surprised when I ordered at Mcdo and expecting the same old ketchup together with the fries, but now it's the all new awesome Heinz ketchup together with the fries. It really made my day because Heinz is my favorite ketchup and pairing it with their fries was really good. It will really make you go and buy more fries. =D

Carrot saves eyesight, protects our heart, prevents constipation, combats cancer and promotes weight loss

Where to Buy : Sidcor Bazaar at Centris Walk, Quezon Ave. MRT
                        Sundays 6:00am to 2:00pm
Price : P45 ( 500 ml )

Saw this on Sidcor Bazaar, they were selling carrot juice with fruits, hesitant at first because when you hear the word " carrot " you know it doesn't taste good but I was wrong, after trying their free taste sample  I bought two bottles! =D it was sooo delicious that I couldn't stop drinking it, the only thing I didn't like is the four seasons because the fruit chunk gets in the way when drinking. A healthy alternative to the powdered juice drink we're used to. more info after the jump!

Sola : Orange Iced Tea


Where to Buy: Grocery or Selected Restaurant 
Price: 32php ( Grocery )

Sola's Orange Flavor Iced Tea, the only difference is the flavor but the iced tea flavor is the same, this is one of the rare flavors of Sola ( rare meaning not every grocery store sells this ). I still prefer the Raspberry Flavor it is by far the best Sola Iced Tea.

* Mandarin Supermarket has a lot of imported drinks from Hong Kong.

Expensive Soda 
Where to Buy : Seattle's Best Coffee
Price: P120

Are you looking for an expensive soda that taste worst than the soda's you could buy in the groceries? look no further! Seattle's Best Coffee has it covered for you, just order one of their Italian Soda that cost 120 pesos each. Ridiculous price for a soda.

Lipton Ice Tea Sparkling : Zesty Lemon


Where to Buy : Groceries and Convenience Stores

One Plus Tea : Green Apple Iced Tea

with Grape Seed Extract!
Where to Buy : Groceries and Convenience Stores
Price : P18 ( Groceries )

Zesto's One Plus Tea Green Apple Iced Tea is good, although there are so many alternative to apple iced tea, almost every iced tea vendor sells apple flavored iced tea.
