Mahilig ako sa chocolates simula pa nung bata ako kaya nung nakapag-overnight kami sa Subic dati at unang beses ko lang makapasok sa Duty Free, sabi ng nanay ko e hindi raw ako magkanda-ugaga katatakbo sa shelves na pinaglalagyan ng mga tsokolate at hindi ako makapili.

Nung bumalik naman ako sa Puregold Dutyfree nito nang mahilig ako sa matcha, hindi pa rin ako magkanda-ugaga. Hindi katatakbo kundi kaiisip dahil hindi rin ako makapili kasi nga kulang sa chaching. Hahaha! Some things don't change. Iba pa rin reaction ko everytime may makita akong bagay na gustong-gusto ko. hahahahahaha. Di ko na kasi ma-control pag nakakakita ako ng kahit anong matcha. -_-

Sakit sa puso nito but thank you, Puregold Duty Free for selling matcha products. It was a problem that I was glad to have. It's not you, it's me kaya masakit sa puso. BAKIT KASI ANG PRICEY NG MGA GUSTO KO SA BUHAY?!

Matcha soft cookie oreos (paki-arrange na lang sa tamang order 'yung words)

I did not buy this because I like it, I bought it as per my cousin's son's request. Ako siguro may kasalanan bakit mahilig na rin siya sa matcha kaya binilhan ko na.

He liked it that he almost finished everything but as for me, not too much because it seemed like the chocolate taste overpowered the matcha and that's unacceptable for (someone like) me. Haha!! Still and an interesting combination so definitely worth trying. Arte lang ako.

I saw this before in Family Mart although I don't know what its name is.

Instead na nakabalot sa chocolate na almond 'yung kasama, matcha flavor 'yung stick and then matcha bits 'yung nagpapalutong. This one's interesting too but it's not something that I'd buy again. Arte ko diba? hahaha. Nabawasan na kasi talaga 'yung pagka-like ko sa chocolates. You'd taste the chocolate more than the matcha bits so I prefer the one below.

Ito 'yung mapayat at matangkad na version ng Midi Matcha. Bitin lang because a box has only two foil containers but I like this the most among the three.

Balanced ang matcha taste and creaminess but if I were to choose, I'd still for for the Midi Matcha. Bakit??? Iba pa rin kaming mga chubby! Hahahaha!

These three matcha products are for those who prefer subtle matcha flavor. Creamy at andun pa rin 'yung lasa ng matcha pero hindi in your face na, "Oy!! Green tea ako!" gets or not... end of post. :))

My wallet committed suicide just to make me feel better. Haha. 😍 #matcha #pocky #meiji #oreo #matcharap #infinitelivessana🙏 #panicbuyingangpeg #rt

Akalain mong 12 weeks ago na 'to. hahahaha!! Di bale, meron nga kong mga pictures na lagpas na one year eh. Wala na kasi atang relevance kaya forever na silang hindi maipo-post sa blogosphere unlike pag matcha, forever relevant :)))

I was finally able to go back in the area where I spent most of my days before, Bonifacio Global City.

You know what frustrates me? It's that we found it hard to find a decent and affordable meal before aside from fastfood chains and yet they are almost everywhere in BGC now. Oo, BGC, kung kelan sobrang bihira na ko makapunta dyan. -_-

One of those that I have tried is Shawarma Bros at Bonifacio Stopover which offers reasonably-priced meals without compromising the product quality.

Order here.
They were a food truck before deciding to put up their flagship restaurant for stability.

I'm slow at noticing things like this pero mukhang truck pala 'yung order area at may pedestrian lane pa oh. hehehe.

They are not claiming that they are offering authentic Persian and Mediterranean cuisine but as to what I have tried, their food tastes close to authentic and it is actually good in its own way.

I love the idea of printing out Instagram screenshots and posting them there for other diners to see.
Syempre diba, when you're taking time editing your Instagram-worthy picture, one thing that would make you prouder other than having an awesome IG feed is when the establishments you Instagrammed or other people recognize/appreciate your post.

This was my order
Beef Shawarma Rice with Keema Meal
P 229.00

The first thing I noticed when they served me my food is that the serving size is big.

Keema

Cheese and Garlic Yogurt Dip

You get to choose two sauces for your food.

I liked the garlic yogurt dip more than the cheese. Maybe it's because I was having rice that I didn't appreciate the cheese sauce that much.

One thing you'd notice when you're eating with your fellow bloggers is how everyone is taking time taking pictures of the food that it gets cold before one is able to have his/her first bite.

No regrets and not complaining because this is HOW we usually are. Mas komportable nga kesa 'yung kakain ka kasama 'yung hindi mahilig magkuha ng pictures kasi kailangan mo pa magpaliwanag at pigilan silang kumain agad. Haha.

My order was beef but it wasn't greasy so I had no problem eating my food even if it has already gotten a bit cold.
