Chic-Boy Sabado

Another Saturday at Chic-Boy

My uncle was getting hyped up from all my auntie's stories of our dinner in Chic Boy last saturday so after mass, he invited us to Chic-Boy for dinner.

The first time in Chic-Boy, I was quite famished so I'm pretty sure everything would taste fantastic. I'm glad Chic Boy did not disappoint the second time around.

POSITIVE:
1. It was good to know that Chic Boy participated in Earth Hour. I spent the last couple of hours yesterday hearing my officemates negotiate packages for Earth Hour. And it would be such a pity to let all their efforts go in vain simply because establishments ignore a simple plea to get people to think about climate change. The staff properly informed all the tables that they were participating in the Earth Hour and as such would switch off lights from 8:30-9:30PM

2. Their pork BBQ tasted better this week than last week.

3. The staff is still friendly

4. They freely offer a second helping of rice - some resto would say they offer unlimited rice but would hide the rice or make up some excuse to delay serving rice

NEGATIVE:
1. We ordered bottomless iced tea and at one point it was hard to catch the attention of any of the waiters to refill our drink - it was just the first refill mind you.

2. The second helping of rice tasted wierd - parang Arab rice - this is the first time though

3. The pork BBQ this week had 1/4 of taba - we're not big fans of taba and we were quite disappointed with the amount of taba in our orders. Last week's serving was better.

4. Music - actually just one song in particular by Soulja boy - while I do not discriminate anyone's music taste, we just had a hard time hearing each other while Soulja Boy's song was blaring loudly in the speakers. crank that soulja boy = sigawan + sakit ng ulo

What we ordered: 6 orders of CB3 (2 piece Pork BBQ meal), calamares, 2 Kang Kong and bottomless iced tea for all six of us

Notes:
Our friends also came in while we were in the middle of our meal but we had to leave early so that we can implement Earth Hour at home.

The crowd was lesser this week.

This time I did try the Lechon Sauce - it was quite flavorful. Strong on the vinegar and more liquid than Mang Tomas but still yummy.

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
