Katipunan has a lot of restaurants and fastfood joints so the place is always worth visiting. Syempre, with hopes that the traffic is not that heavy but it's very rare that it is not these days. I don't know what has happened but it seems that the traffic situation in the Philippines has worsen. Traffic na rin sa mga lugar na hindi naman usually traffic dati. Tsk.

Pagkain na lang pampa-good vibes.

I think my order was mixberry banana. I don't know what happened to me too but it seems like I'm more inclined to order a strawberry flavored everything these days. I'd usually go for matcha or chocolate but stores offering matcha is rare so it's usually chocolate but these days even if chocolate is an option, I'd still order strawberry. Baguio pls. Hahahaha.

Their milkshake is good and priced less than a hundred pesos. Hindi ko nga namalayan na naubos ko na 'yan agad. 
The fastfood beside Starr's milkshake is Chubby Chicken

It's not the usual double fried/soy garlic chicken because of the garlic sauce. I'm a "dip/sauce-person" if that kind of person exists, gusto ko madalas 'yung may sinasawsawan ehh so the sauce was a plus for me. The serving is huge though I forgot how much the price was but it's less than P 150.00 for two big pieces of chicken. Pwede na! 
Chubby Oreos

With chubby oreos, oh nothing can go wrong when you combine fried oreos with ice cream.

Our Third day a.k.a Ikot-ikot Singapore / Why you rainin' Singapore

I'll divide this day into three posts because I have a lot of pictures from Universal Studios and if I make this like our first and second day, this will be so lengthy (to think na ang haba na nga ng day 1 and day 2.) and so picture-packed.

Our third day started out okay although we were late again.

 Before going to sleep, "We're waking up at 5 AM, right? So we can leave home at 6 AM and start touring before sunrise?" Sunrise in Singapore is around 7:15 in the morning and leaving home at 6 AM was the best time so we can arrive at Marina bay before twilight. When we were on our way to Golden Mile Complex, we passed by the area at ang ganda niya tignan sa gabi, e baka wala na kaming time go there at night 'cause our bus was set to leave Singapore at 10:00 PM, May 27.

Enough for overestimating ourselves, we woke up at 7. HAHAHA! Sabihin na natin na understandable kasi 'yun palang 'yung matinong tulog namin since our adventure started. Nagkita-kita kami sa airport ng 4 AM (madaling araw ng May 25), sa bus lang kami natulog (madaling araw May 26) kaya nung gabi ng May 26 pa-umaga ng May 27, ayan nakabawi-bawi. Walang nakarinig ng alarm. Kalurks.
When were in Ang Mo Kio, it was the best weather to go around. It was a bit sunny, windy and cloudy. Ano pa 'di ba? Not too hot and not too cold.

Ang Mo Kio (NS 16) we rode the red line to Marina Bay (NS 27).
I belong. <3

For some reasons, I developed this desire to stay longer there. Or maybe someday, I get to experience working/studying there even for a month or a year. I don't know what's going to happen but syempre, let's hope for the best. Basta, gusto kong bumalik sa Singapore. :))
Marina Bay Sands selfie turned out to be Marina Bay I'm so Sad selfie... Marina Bay MRT Station is an underground station so we had no idea that it was already raining hard outside. GRABE!!!! How can it rain that hard when the weather was so nice about an hour ago? Oh wells papels, ganyan siguro talaga. :)))
Late na nga kami. Nausog pa lalo because of the rain.
Oh Marina Bay, you're so close yet so far.

After waiting for 30 minutes, (hindi pa rin tumitila ang ulan!!) we decided that we' were wasting our time so we travelled to Vivo City and just pass by Marina Bay again before heading home. Duuuuh, hindi kumpleto ang SG trip pag walang picture sa Merlion.

I've never felt so lost, SG. NEVERRRRRRRRRR. Sa'yo lang talaga. :)))))
'Yung pakiramdam na alam mo sa sarili mong you're okay with directions, you understand maps well, you're good at remembering places pero kahit na alam mong tama ka, may bubulong pa rin sa'yong baka mali ka. No room for mistakes. Pamasahe at oras na naman ang mawawala niyan.

Hindi ko na maalala kung anong nangyari (selective amnesia) pero 'yung feeling na andun lang naman kami sa loob ng station, may map ng MRT pero walang-wala talaga. Sobrang lost kids. Sumakay na lang kami. Bahala na kung maikot ulit ang buong SG. hahahaha. Basta ang binayaran namin, pa Harbour Front na fare. 
Ang reputasyong inalagaan ko... naglaho lang sa loob ng tatlong araw na pamamalagi ko sa ibang bansa. Pssssh! Tayo-tayo lang may alam nyan. hahahaha. Sa Pilipinas, hindi mo talaga ko mawawala ever! Jokeeee. :) 

Life, I don't mind being lost again. :))))) Isa pa pls? hahaha.
Another factor that added to our whutdapak moment was when all the other passengers alighted at this station, I forgot the name. OMG, anmeron?!
Anyway, from Marina Bay (NS27) we rode until Dhoby Ghaut (NS24) transferred to DG's North East line (NE6) to Harbour Front (NE1).

Ganda ng stations nila, noh?

Singapore MRT and LRT stations map link: here.

Their public transportation is really good and well-planned but it's also very very complex especially for first timers. Madali intindihin 'yung map, okay sige, ang nakakalito lang 'yung paglipat ng line kahit iisang lugar lang naman at kahit maraming signages. Kalokaaaa. Sige, palusot pa me. hehehe. :)) They have 106 operating train stations and a lot more are still under construction and planning. Babalik ako for you, MRT/LRT bespren.
Disbelief* Uncertainty* Skepticism
Selfie pa more. 


Madalas, instinct lang pinapagana ko pag ganyan pero tinanggal ng SG lahat ng magagandang (at strengths) inakala kong ako. HAHAHAHA! (Wala na si whiz kid sa directions, wiz kid na) :)))) 


We got lost but that experience drove us to "desire" getting lost in another country/city again. But if you're going there and that's the reason why you stumbled upon this post, you're on the right track. Kulang lang talaga siguro kami sa research. hahahaha.
But whatevs, we arrived at Vivo City/Sentosa.

I was okay again.

I've eaten S&R pizzas before and knowing that S&R (grocery) is a membership shopping, it felt like I won't be able to eat this anymore unless a member treats me. Okay, exagge. Pwede naman magpa-member e, diba? But anyway, let me tell you one of the best pizzas in Quezon City.

*drumroll*

None other that S&R's pizza. S&R Pizza has a branch in Puregold, Cubao and no membership whatsoever is required.


A huge slice with drink costs P 99.00. (Combo)


Best dahil hindi lang mura, malaki pa at masarap!


Try the pizza yourself.

I say it's good and even the long lines and always full restaurant will say so too. 



Branches are in: (no membership required)

2nd Floor of Puregold, Cubao
and
1st Floor of Puregold Duty Free, Subic


Masarap 'yung sa Cubao pero mas masarap talaga 'yung nasa Subic. Mas malayo 'yan eh. :))

Grabe, baka naman may nag-iisip ng dini-deprive ko sarili ko. hahahaha. Mukha bang dini-deprive? Pag nakita ako, wala na ngang makakapagsabi nun eh. Ako pa ang na-deprive sa lagay na 'to.




I don't know kung sadyang nagtitipid ako, walang oras, walang bagong nasusubukan o talagang hindi ko na pino-post dito mga pagkain ko. 


Dahil dyan, pagkain na ulit.




Here's my "recent" re-discovery, Garlic Pork Rice Meal. Matagal na raw kasi 'tong nasa menu nila and according to my Manang's 2013 post. Gusto ko na raw 'tong subukan noon pa. Manang's Fish Fillet 2013 link: here. 

Once a year ang peg, ganun?


First time trying their chicken last 2012. Link: here.


Since 2012, Manang's have improved a lot.


As for my order, it's fried pork chop (mapayat pero malaki) topped with garlic bits. First of, they were able to maintain the tenderness of the meat given that being thin, it's prone to overcooking. I love the special garlic bits. Those aren't all garlic, merong nakahalo na crunchy na hindi ko talaga malaman kung ano and they complement the porkchop well. AT! Unlike their chicken meal which comes with Manang's special sauces, Garlic Pork Rice meal comes with vinegar dip which made me like this meal more.  I am sensing a fourth time in Manang's! Because of this meal, hindi na lang annual ang visit.

Zark's Burgers, Taft link: here.

Nasapian na naman ako ng espiritu ng sobrang katakawan eh.
I wanted to try something else because I had their cheeseburger for two times already. I was really hungry since it was also way past lunch time so Jawbreaker seemed the best order for that day.
P 250.00 with fries and drinks
Jawbreaker is a triple cheeseburger with bacon and spam.

This burger is so massive and filling that I wasn't able to eat everything. I wasn't able to eat a patty, the top bun and some fries.


There's this Zark's challenge that when you finish this burger within five minutes, it's free! 

No, I did not take the challenge. I just wanted to see how much will I be able to eat on my own "phasing".


Will you dare?

I wanted to eat burger but I also wanted to try something else (bawal umulit ng resto!!) and as we came across this fastfood joint while walking in Glorietta, ano pa ba? Edi enter na.
Flame-grilled Burger with fries and drinks
P 145.00 + P 20.00 add-on for the cheese.

I like flame-grilled burgers more because they're less oily than those burgers grilled using the regular grillers. It may be big but the size is enough to fit in your mouth so feel na feel na burger talaga ang kinakain dahil di na kailangan gamitan ng fork at kutsilyo. As for the patty, juicy at masarap naman. Buti nagpa add on kami ng cheese.
"Unli" tomato catsup, mayonnaise and mustard.
Condiments are set-up on the tables.



They also serve hotdogs, sausages and buffalo wings.
