Vietnamese Cuisine

Long time no blogging. Whew! Been busy with my new job and I'm loving it. ^^ I'll try to write about my new career soon. Let's go back to my topic... 

Taran! Thru Google search I discovered that Pho means Vietnamese Noodle Soup.  While looking at the menu, we were served with a small plate with fresh basil leaves, lemon wedge and beansprouts, we wonder if it's for our appetizer. Heehee!

Kala ko itatanim ko e. haha!

Choosing the right noodle soup is not that easy since this is the first time we'll be trying Vietnamese cuisine and the menu is not that descriptive. And since, I'm with my colleague who's very ill, I picked "Chicken Noodle Soup" 

 Small - Php 225

Did you know that - Chicken noodle soup may provide benefits when you suffer from a cold. A study published in the October 2000 issue of the journal "Chest" indicates that chicken soup exhibited an anti-inflammatory effect when tested, which may help you breathe better...

 Then I ordered this...

Php 295

Tenderloin Beef with rice (not spicy) - I just pick the one that says it's their specialty.

With side dish 

Ooops, i don't eat that... never tried it.

Pho Hoa menu

hmmm, expensive for me! ^^

Overall, the meal was delicious. The price was a little expensive for me.  The service is good.  The venue was clean.  We'll definitely come back again! "pag may extra" hahaha!

Gymboree or not?

We took Calleigh to kidz republic just to try kung magugustuhan ba or not! and now she won't stop aya ng aya everyday! waaaah!

We tried Kevin's Toys & Library at Trinoma, Level M3

 She's looks kawawa... heehee! 

I like it here because it's much cheaper than kidz republic. P210 1 hour play with 2 adults.

After 2 days... 

Calleigh: Mommy, lesgow megamall? ladybug? please?

And yes, she's back to kidz republic!

2 days after...

kidz republic again!!!

And yesterday, we went back to Trinoma at Kevin's Toys & Library. Nag grocery naman ako so okay lang. But wasn't able to take picture of her. And this morning, TARAN!!! Kids republic again... whew!

At Mcdonalds, eating before playtime. Wearing her favorite shirt from Ninong Pusoy and Tita Bibe. ^^

parang mali ata. nawawala ako sa budget!!! huhuuuu! or maybe i-enroll ko na sa gymboree? what do you think?

Laugh trip!!!

Kulitan time with daddy!



hahaha! Kulit lang! Goodnight!

Woori Jib

"Woori Jib" means My House

Woorijb is not a traditional Korean restaurant you visit where you see Korean historical figures around the place. In fact, it's a plain restaurant with big space contrary to most restaurants you see if you're in South Korea. And despite the somewhat misleading menu (Beware of seeing MINIMUM OF TWO ORDERS **)

Food is appetizing. The authenticity of Kimchi and Bulgogi has paid off. 

Kimchi

 Bulgogi P350 per order "minimum of 2 orders" ang mahal!!!

lettuce for samgyupsal (forgot to take picture nung pork, hehe)P250 per order "minimum of 2 orders"

appetizers - refillable na hindi namin alam! wahaha!

Service is great, imagine having 2 waiters attending to you at the same time (probably because it was a lean hour)..

Thanks for the treat edong! ^^ sa uulitin!

We are not fond of eating out in posh restos. We prefer a good cup of coffee.. 

When hunger strikes, fast foods are always in the corner. Yet there's always an exception to this rule... and that's is when one of us is in first trimester (pregnant) and that's where cravings for delectable food come. In short,silly notions went into their crazy heads that I'm pregnant... NOT!
