Pasig RainForest Park

Pasig Rainforest Park
It was a huge surprise for us to find this amazing park right in the heart of Pasig! People from Pasig ought to be proud of this! It is huge.. well kept... well designed... and it is FREE for everyone, even for those who aren't Pasig dwellers!

I love seeing new places and getting high with my camera. The photos below are the proofs.

My pictures didn't even capture half the vastness of the Pasig Rainforest. You just have to visit it to see for yourself. Go for a walk... or just jog... play sports... have a picnic... or just admire the zoo animals... a visit to the park is definitely worth it.

Panciteria San Jacinto

Although it has been an old family tradition for others to dine at Panciteria San Jacinto, it was a first time for me that day.
Panciteria San Jacinto

The place has gotten a fresh new facelift mixing the look of the old Manila Chinatown and the taste and feel of American country charm.

And of course, the food, they said, has remained the same. Freshly cooked, hot and delicious.

Red Ribbon's Grilled Ensaymada

Red Ribbon's Grilled Ensaymada
Trust Red Ribbon to come up with a new twist to the ensaymada we have always known. Yes, it is grilled, drizzled with confectioner's sugar and topped with a small scoop of whipped butter.

Cut through the lightly browned and crusted top to reveal the luscious spongy ensaymada goodness we are all so familiar with.

This is one good meryenda treat. A taste of the old with a welcome new twist.

Lucky Me Baked Mac Style Instant Macaroni

Blogged:  Yes,  it is instant... it is Lucky Me... and it is good!
For only P14.00, a pack of Lucky Me Baked Mac is definitely worth it. Not only is it instant and quick. It is also packed with great taste and real pasta flavor!

Blogged:  Yes,  it is instant... it is Lucky Me... and it is good!
It is perfect for those who need a snack booster... but for those who are really hungry, they would probably need to cook 2 packs, at least. Stand alone or a sidedish, it will deliver.

These are the packets inside each pillow pack of LM Baked Mac.

The pasta cooks very fast in just a little over 3 mins for me.... and the sauce is just a squeeze away from the packet.

I am pretty sure this will always be in my grocery list from now on.

Biscocho Haus

For BloggingFor Blogging
Among the biscochos I have tried, this one from Jaro, Iloilo's Biscocho Haus is by far the best. It has just the right crunch to ever bite...... and that lightly creamy taste that seems to tickle your palate... and that subtle sweetness that is enough to satisfy one's craving for sweets.

I hope to check out tiangge's in the Metro in the hope of finding a stall that sells Biscocho Haus biscocho. And to my Ilonggo friends out there, next time you trek home and back, you now know what I want for pasalubong.
