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

How stuff works: Piso Bid anyone?

First of all, I am in no way, related to the owners of Pisobid.com at present (it's a small world after all) and I'm writing this blog because I like to analyze and figure out how things work :) I was reading through my Ymail when I saw this ad for Pisobid.com. The name caught my attention and all that was running through my mind was the thrill of bidding - Ebay alert hihihi. When the website opened, I saw that there were a lot of gadgets up for grabs, among the lot was an iPhone 4 which I really wanted but didn't have the heart to spend Php 40,000 for a cellphone. Upon closer inspection, they are giving away ipads, LV bags and GCs. Hmmmmm.... let's give it a try! I never did like reading instructions and policy agreements so I just purchased a 35 bids for Php 500 so that I can start bidding. It's actually pretty easy to bid, all it takes is a click of a button, money is gone. HAHAHA In the pisobid, you actually use real money to buy bid, in this case, 1 bid ...

Ironic Cafe Monaco

Tucked in one of the building along Banawe is a quaint restaurant called Cafe Monaco. From the outside, the interiors looked cozy and perfect for hanging out with friends but I was quite surprised when I stepped inside to find out that most tables were occupied by families. And people actually are willing to wait for their turn to be seated! Kudos for that. My basis for choosing a restaurant is based on the line/wait. If the line is long or the waiting list is long, then it must be worth trying. We ate dinner at this restaurant yesterday evening and I actually loved it! It's a bit weird though that the name of the restaurant is Cafe Monaco but they serve a lot of Korean dishes. My aunt said that the owner of the place married a Korean hence the menu with Korean dishes. We tried bibimbap and at first bite, it was okay but the more you chew the better it gets. Healthy too, with little meat in the dish. Prices are friendly on the pocket too so I will definitely go back to try out thei...
