A Toast to lunch!

A lot of things have changed since I came back and a new restaurant has opened in Greenbelt 5.


Toast Box!

This is not my first time to dine in Toast Box. They have a branch in Trinoma. My favorites are Milo Dinosaur, Kopi Teh and Kaya Toast. But I have never tried their meal sets yet.


Tower of Butter

So for lunch, we all went there to sample their lunch offerings.




Each of us ordered a different thing from the menu and we were able to cover all from sandwiches to Nonya Laksa.


Naturally being a newly opened restaurant, the queue was a bit long and there were only few seats left. The six of us had to sit in separate tables because of the lack of group seating inside.

ORDERS:
Finjane had a tuna sandwich which was so-so (nothing special)

Donna, Rommel and April ordered Haianese Chicken which they say is ever better than the ever famous Wee Nam Kee in West Triangle


Noj had a bibimbap

I ordered their Nonya Laksa

I was quite disappointed with my order. Even after adding a couple of tablespoons of soy sauce and sprinkles of pepper, it still did not have any taste, it was just mildly spicy. I felt like eating water with Tabasco and not something that would cause gastrointestinal apocalypse judging from the oil alone.

I did not finish my food, not worth my Php 219. And instead ordered my staple, Kaya Toast to satiate my hunger.

Walk to Greenbelt 5
From the back they look like brothers...


and when I pointed it out, Jen rushed to take a photo.

The walk back to the office.

Ever notice how much faster time is when you are on your way back to the office versus the walk to lunch?

KRIS KRINGLE: Something Big

I never thought it would be hard to find something BIG for Php 100 pesos ($2) I short listed the following for my fashionable friend: ...a big box of tissue (useful) ...a big toblerone (but this is WAY over budget) ...a big trash bin ...a case of big oatmeal cookies (last resort) ...a big mirror ...a big bookmark (which i couldn't find anywhere) ...a BIG beer (unrelated) ...a big organizer it's quite difficult really. But I must search for something else. PRESSURE! On a side note, Jamie treated us to Pizza Hut's Lechon pizza. After eating, I felt like I would pass out at any moment due to high cholesterol but it was quite tasty if you're a fan of Lechon (roasted pig). The pizza did taste a bit like Mang Tomas' lechon sauce. A big slice of Pizza hut's lechon pizza

Around Manila: Exploring the streets of J.P. Rizal in Marikina

It is funny how we know the history and culture of a land we do not live in yet know so little about where we live. Thus, began our mission to explore Manila, one city at a time. DESTINATION: Marikina Starting Time: 11am End Time: 5pm How to get to J.P. Rizal in Marikina - Waze (app) and Google Maps Marikeno (native people in Marikina) are said to be the most disciplined people in the Philippines. If the cleanliness around Marikina were a testament to that, Marikenos would pass with flying colors. The streets I could say were similar to those in Singapore - free from litter and we saw people from households cleaning their own front area even if it were facing a street. SHOE CAPITAL of the Philippines Marikina produces 70% of the shoes in the country. and holds the World's Largest Pair of Shoes, recognized by the Guinness World Records. In Marikina, you can find the Shoe Museum which houses 800 out of the 3000 shoes that were part of the famous shoe collection of the
