Lemonade

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.

Alam mo 'yung kapag ginagamit ko 'yung Instagram ko (--->) tapos nilalagay ko 'yung location ko o ng pictures ko, parang ako, "Shems, kung san san ako napapadpad." Tipong isang araw andito lang ako sa Q.C. tas sa susunod, napunta kong MOA biglang meron palang sidetrip sa Tagaytay tas next year baka nasa Singapore na 'ko. (JK. Sobrang bihira lang mag-Tagaytay at asa lang Singapore!!!) Pero balak ko naman igeo-tag lang ng i-geo tag 'yung photos ko kasi lilibutin ko pa buong mundo. Mundo agad. Wow, sossy lang. HAHAHAHAHA. Seryoso, kasi nakakatuwa kahit fail 'yung ibang geo-tagging dun e tumatama naman 'yung iba tapos kung saan saan naka-locate 'yung pictures ko.

Hello, funds na sana kasi para maka-hello, world.

God, para sa'kin 'to di ba? Alam kong OO po ang sagot Niyo kaya maghihintay lang po ako... habang kumakain syempre. hehehehe.
Lakas maka.. :)) PUSH lang ng PUSH na nalaman kong may kumalat palang meaning dahil naging acronym 'yan; Pray Until Something Happens. O sige, push ko 'to lahat!! Baka pumayat rin ako kaka-PUSH!!

Dahil dyan, nasa China na 'ko.

The only Lemon Chicken I enjoyed so far.

Lemon Chicken Super Solo Meal / Rice Toppings
P 119.00

While most people prefer their sauce and chicken mixed, I prefer mine like this so I can adjust the quantity of lemon sauce. And although the breading was kind of thick, it was still crispy and didn't taste like flour.
The chicken meat was also fried just right and the quantity matched the rice quantity!!!! Problema talaga 'to sa'kin kasi malakas ako mag-ulam, tas madalas sa rice bowl e ang daming kanin tas sobrang konti ng ulam.

Another Saturday well spent!

No one wants to be hit by a disaster but it's on times like this that you are able to see how selfless most people are.

These aren't all the donations because this is only one of the numerous repacking sites for Yolanda's victim but you just can't help but be overwhelmed by the quantity of goods that are continuously being donated there.

I'd prefer to be in the field and be the one to give these relief goods to the victims but that's just not possible.

With two of my friends, we decided to spend some hours volunteering here at Red Cross in Quezon City Hall, Gate 5 (along Kalayaan avenue).

No need for scheduling.
Go there, log in then you're good!

We sorted out some donated clothes and then later on sorted out the canned goods too.

This may seem like a small thing but I really wish that the victims would feel the outpouring support other people are giving them.

The concern, the help, just about everything is stupendous.

Red Cross Quezon City Chapter Contact Details and Bank Accounts

Ang sarap lang sa pakiramdam na sa maliit na paraan at sa konting oras na nilaan mo e nakatulong ka na sa iba.
Ang sarap lang sa pakiramdam na hindi mo man matanggal 'yung sakit na nararamdaman nila e kahit papaano ay naging instrumento ka sa pagbangon nilang muli.

P.S. I'm not even affected but whenever I read newspapers or online articles and watch news about all the help we are continuously given, I can't help it but be touched too. To our fellow Filipinos and the international community who have been donating a lot and have been showing their support and concern, thank you so much!! All your help- big or small- would definitely be an instrument in rebuilding another person's life.

Sa dami ng tulong, isa lang talaga hiling ko, sana makarating lahat ng 'to sakanila ng buo.

This is the first Persian food post in this blog and now that I've mentioned it, the last time I ate Kebab was more than 2 years ago. Obviously, that's prior to the "birth" of this blog.

Let's start with the restaurant.
It's a fine dining restaurant and I don't know why entered. HAHAHAHA.

We requested that we sit in this part of the restaurant which has curtains to separate each tables. You can have the waiters put the curtains down for some privacy and "arte" like what we did with ours. It was also cozier that way.

As for the menu, I was overwhelmed by the choices not only because of the vast selections they have but also because I'm not familiar with most of their offerings.

Trinoma is a busy (and noisy) mall so I appreciated the ambiance of this restaurant. It was very private, relaxing and homey; a break from the crowded "outside world".

I can't remember the price but this is less than P 350.00
Chelo Beef Kebab

My Kebab was mild and was spiced and cooked just right.

But more than the meat, the rice was the star of this meal.
It's long-grained rice, steamed perfectly and very flavorful on its own. I just don't know what the rice variant was.

Spicy and Garlic Sauce
I don't know if the white one is really garlic sauce or just a yogurt sauce. It doesn't taste garlicky enough for me while the hot sauce was so so so so spicy I literally drank a whole glass of water when I tried it.

Spiciness threshold is only high whenever I eat Korean food.
I've passed by this restaurant for a loooot of times already being the Trinoma girl that I am or I was but this is my first time to eat there.

I've also been seeing the word Hossein whenever I'm in Serendra and Greenbelt (I can't recall which one) and I think, those three are just practically the same. Or maybe not.

Dessert time!!!

Looked for desserts kasi akala ko gutom pa 'ko and we ended up eating at Mary Grace

This reminded me of Conti's Mango Bravo probably because of the mango (obviously) and the graham (na medyo nougat) layers only the latter has chocolate. But this is good too!!! If not for my love of chocolate, I'd choose this over MB.

HAHAHA. KAYA AYOKONG NAGDE-DESCRIBE NG PAGKAIN EH. NAKAKATAWA LANG. SORRY NA, HINDI TALAGA KO CRITIC. ALAM KO LANG ANG MASARAP SA HINDI AT ANG BET SA HINDI. HAHAHA.

My order.
Mary Grace Cheesecake
P 120.00/slice

Simple yet one of the best (Kung may susunod sa gawa kong cheesecake haha!, ito na siguro 'yun.)
It's smooth, creamy and priced just right.

Dito ko sila nakilala (pati lemon squares) at ito pa rin ang binabalik-balikan.

This one's good too although I prefer their 3 cheese ensaymada more. Nabitin kasi ako dun sa nasa taas na part kung anuman 'yung tawag dun, pero cheese din siguro kasi ensaymada 'to.

Next time, Laguna cheese naman. Ehehehe.

Classic Grilled Ensaymada
P 73.00.

So dalawa lang kami but we ordered three kinds so 'yung Ate while ordering.

Kami: Meron bang Strawberry Shortcake?
Ate: Wala po eh.

*medyo na-disappoint*

Kami: Ah o sige, Cheesecake na lang saka Mango Bene. Ugh, Grilled Ensaymada.
Ate: So orders are Cheesecake and Grilled Ensaymada?
Kami: Pati po Mango Bene. 3.

Basta ganyan. Di ko na rin maalala pero medyo ganyan na hindi niya agad nakuha na tatlo 'yung order. Shems. Katakawan!!

P.S. Most of times, I just order service/house water whenever I eat out to save and I'm not usually a soda drinker (pero umiinom, minsan pag budget meal ahahah saka libre so para maka-save lang siguro) And, Mary Grace gets a star for effort because they serve lemon water. I love Mary Grace Cafe's house water!
