Tasty Trips: Wooden Spoon

When Patty planned dinner in Katipunan, I asked if she wanted to try something new. I've been hearing a lot of good things about this restaurant and wanted to check it out. The day we were going to have dinner, Kaich even retweeted Mr. C regarding the parking situation (no reservations!), haha. So it was decided:

The spread for three growing girls (heh): lumpiang sotanghon (already wiped out except for the piece on my plate), tostadong adobo, spicy sigarilyas in gata (tried it and had more than one bite! I like the crispy fish bits in it too), wansoy shrimp balls (had one bite of this but decided not to eat the rest because I'm not a fan of wansoy).

Of course I had to order the adobo. I love adobo. It's my favorite ulam of all time. I think I can probably eat it every day (much to the dismay of my brothers, hahaha). This one was the kind that just has to be eaten with rice—and lots of it. We were hesitant about getting the garlic rice, which was good for four, but guess what. Yep, we ate it all. We were totally happy with our food and at P250 each, who wouldn't be?

I always love hanging out and eating with these girls. Till our next food trip! (

A Good Day For Eating

Spent my Saturday in good company, both in terms of food and friends. Headed to the Rockwell Tent for Yummy Eats (after last year, how could we not go?) The venue this year was much smaller than last year's so it was a bit hard to get around. But that definitely didn't stop us from sampling all the Yummy Eats at the tent!

Cukay's Red Velvet cupcake. So good!

Style Bible's Isha Andaya-Valles serving Chuck's Grub!

Almost like liempo chicharon. Sarap!

My favorite of the day: the best chocolate chip cookies with fleur de sel. Omnomnom.

Sampled the Aztec Truffle and the Bluecheese Praline. Yummy! (Sorry, I'm probably going to reuse this term a lot in this entry.)

Pinkerton's Alexandra Rocha noticed we were sweating like pigs (hehe) and offered us a sample of their guava basil sorbet. Truly refreshing!

That's Shar Tan of Qitchen Queens/Goodles (also, Candy's former fashion editor!).

LOVED the ham and mushroom cheese dip. Forgot to take home a jar.

Mochiko debuted their new flavor at the event. We sampled milk tea and Oreos and milk. Looooved the Oreos and milk.

Attempting to take a photo of Pipino's booth, I managed to intrude in this couple's moment. Haha, whoops!

And as if all that food wasn't enough, we had late lunch at Cafe Med and I had this entire plate to myself. Hee hee!

We went around the mall in an attempt to burn all the calories from the event but ended up waiting at a coffee shop to eat some more before dinner. Met up with my favorite friends from college and had breakfast with margaritas (hee hee!). Ended the day with a yummy slice of Red Velvet cake and I went home with a super satisfied tummy.

Now back to regular food programming. Got a shoot tomorrow that I'm excited-nervous about. Wish me luck!

I ♥ My Driving Queens

These girls were my constants in college. I love them and I'm glad they planned this weekend for me. I missed all four of us together and this weekend was the best!

This is the longest birthday celebration I've ever had. And it's not even done yet! Celebrating with my fellow Candy Novembers on Wednesday! I can't wait! (: Hope y'all had an awesome weekend, too!

Can you feel my heart beat?

I had an awesome Sunday. How was yours? (:
