c/o BDO's I Shop. I Choose. I Redeem Promo.

Milk teas are an addiction that I'm trying to rehabilitate from. These days, I'm doing my best to refrain from buying them *insert weight and financial issues here* as the reasons why. Maybe it's not bad to have a cup or two or three per month, I'm limiting myself to just that compared to a cup or ... per week which was the situation when my addiction was at its peak. 

Well, okay, I can disregard weight issues for free drinks! HAHAHA. 

Anyway, don't you just love getting things for free? By being rewarded? rebated? reimbursed? Whatever you call it, thanks BDO and Happy Lemon for partnering for this promo.


Both of the drinks, I got for free.
Should've costed me P 220.00
Since Feb. 20, 2013 - April 30, 2013, there's an ongoing promo for BDO Credit Card Holders with charge slips worth of at least P 2,500.00 (single transaction) to get treats from different partner stores namely: Brownies Unlimited, Happy Lemon, Kenny Rogers and Red Mango.
Matcha Latte with Oreo Cookies and Cream
P 120.00 (Large)
And what's the magic word? MATCHA!

I wanted to try a different drink aside from my usual Green Tea with Rocksalt and Cheese and Pearl Milk Tea and so far anything Matcha never fails to satisfy me.


I don't like Matcha paired with Azuki beans but paired with Oreo? It worked so well for me. Although their version isn't that bitter or that "grassy" like how I usually prefer my matcha, I liked this a lot.

This is now my favorite in Happy Lemon! I'm so buying one again even if this promo ends.


See BDO's Website for more details: I SHOP. I CHOOSE. I REDEEM. Let's all make use of CC perks. :))

Aside from my usual fastfood picks, there aren't a lot of choices for cheap and decent food in Bonifacio Highstreet Area. While there are so much decent foods, cheap being a qualifier limits the choices unless you are in the Market! Market! area where more affordable meals are to be found.

Anyway, before going there, I texted a friend who once told me that there's an affordable Korean restaurant somewhere in BGC. She told me thru text the location and the estimate prices of each meal, P 100.00 - P 150.00 is an okay price; that's relatively cheap compared to other Korean Resturants and cheap given its location... until we found out that the menu for Filipinos are really cheaper than the set menu they give to Korean customers. Thanks to the Ate who told us so. Racist much? HAHAHA. I'm not looking at this negatively despite being taken aback at first. At the end of the day, I was able to eat an authentic bibimbap for P 145.00 so what's there to be hurt about? I appreciated them for thinking about the acceptable price range for Filipino but it it's okay to give us a copy of the pricier selections too.

Bibimbap
P 145.00

Seoul Express is an open-air Korean restaurant in the Fort Strip. I wasn't able to take a picture of the place but they only have beach umbrellas to cover you from the heat of the sun. Good thing it was windy and a bit passed noon when we ate there, the sun wasn't a problem at all.

Taste? it's delicious! They didn't scrimp on the ingredients and it's very flavorful albeit being obviously spicy. But the "spiciness problem" is easily solved by drinking a glass of water so kebs. 


It's a place I'd also recommend to others who want to try Bibimbap too. I haven't eaten Bibimbap in a while which satisfied me and didn't burn a hole in my pocket. Yes, it's a hole-in-the-wall restaurant but more often that not, the gems are found in those. :)

Thanks, flower boy next door for the bibimbap cravings. -_-
The restaurant owner bid us goodbye as we left the place.
아저씨,  자장면 먹어로 다시 올게요.

I thought I've stayed away from eat-all-you-can restaurants, I thought.

It was way past lunch time and sushi cravings set in, we had to look for a Jap. resto and we saw this.

But I ordered their Fish Fillet Strips.

My first and then last visit in Manang's was in July 2012. Well, before what I ordered wasn't really enjoyable, I kept on saying pass to Manang's until I got to re-visit, they have improved! 

Fish Fillet Meal costs P 99.00 (or maybe P 109.00) with  a choice of drink and a big serving of rice.
The serving of rice is a lot bigger (but can also be a lot for those who have normal appetite) than before yet the price remained the same. Yay for that!
The fish fillet strips were soft and the breading has enough crispiness and weren't oily. So good especially when paired with their special sauce.


I wanna try their garlic pork rice too, that looks promising and sulit.

Ano nga? 
Hipon na may Kamias at Kamatis.

I tried searching the web for a recipe of this Kapampangan dish but couldn't find any. I learned about this in an episode of Jessica Soho Reports several weeks ago but I have already forgotten the instructions and the measurements so I had to rely solely on my not-really-existent-cooking-prowess. Well, as if there's anything new, I am always backed by my instinct if there's something I'm unsure of and hope that it turns out good. And fortunately, it did. I just don't know if this is supposed to taste this way.

Kamatis
Hipon - shrimps this big are usually sold for P 350.00 - P 400.00 per kilo. Today's price is P 380.00.
