Spam

11/20/10 ~~Spam

Having Spam Musubi at Spam in MOA was just an accident.  We were just looking for a place to sit for a while as I write a card for an Aunt.  We ordered Spam Musubi for snacks just to try it.  A very handy snack, in which I got to know is a favorite and popular in Hawaii.  It is a thick slice of regular Spam sided with cooked rice, squared then belted with the Nori or seaweed wrap used for the korean Gimbap.

Everyone who likes Spam will definitely like this, the ham plus rice and the defined taste of the seaweed that blends with the ham which was surprisingly not too salty can make you order for another one. :) And it's not that expensive.  For  more or less 40pesos you'll have a good snack inclusive of drinks.

FOODTRIP every week! We extended our variety of food to munch on.  

Peanut Butter Co.

11/20/10 ~~ Peanut Butter Co.

Peanut butter everywhere ... on the menu! All those peanut butter lovers, this is really worth a try.  This can bring you back to childhood.  When you are used to waking up and having peanut butter on sandwich and sometimes with jelly.  I used to love the melting peanut butter on my hot pancake and munching it whole in my mouth.  Kinda messy, I know. :) But I love it!  And now I've met a store with not just typical sandwich filled with PB, but all in the menu.
  
To some, this may be an odd addendum for the usual food we usually dine for.  But this may strike curiosity and additional craving for feisty food lovers.

The menu is a variety from pastas to sandwiches and a few appetizers.  One could also indulge to their milkshakes and soda floats, in which the float is inclusive of vanilla ice cream blended with your choice of soda.

Peanut butter mixed on a curry dish? Moreover as a sauce to pasta.  Weird for some, but totally delectable for me. :)  The strong taste of the curry is savored with the sweet taste of peanut butter which kind of deviated the strong near chili taste of the curry into a milder tangy flavor that wrapped the pasta.  The consistency was just right, not really saucy yet not too sticky.  Good for sharing and you won't get the feeling of over fed up with the quantity.

My personal favorite here is the Marshmallow PB Sandwich.  The melted mallows over the creamy peanut butter sandwiched between toasted wheat-bread is enough for me to drool and crave over it after a week.  Tasting it will make you go mmmh...hmmmm. Speechless. haha! Remembering the taste of the creamy sweet filling oozing (yes oozing haha) between the crunchy bread got me to long for it. Definitely perfect for sweets lover and up to a new kind of treat over the weekend.  

I'll definitely see myself entering their doors again. :) Gonna try another dish!

Dare to try something different and off the usual menu... foodtrip!

Dare to try something different and off the usual menu.

Me and my angel committed to do foodtrip atleast once a week.  A form of unwinding and at the same time to bond.  We just usually go to a mall or somewhere where we craved for food and just order til we please our oral cravings.  I'm kinda heavy eater and good thing I don't easily gain the extra weight.  It just go somewhere out hehe.

11/18/10 ~~ Mang Raul

Good food need not to be expensive.  Mang Raul can aim high attest to that! :)  Mang Raul's isawan is in BF Almanza Las Pinas City and definitely a must-try!

I forgot the world for a while tasting the unruly delectable tangy taste of isaw baboy.  I wouldn't eat it personally if just on my own.  But my angel took me there telling me good stuff about Mang Raul's specialty.  And heaven yes, it's truly good.  It was also my first time to eat those and at the same time with rice.  It was pleasantly placed on a bbq stick unlike the usual appearance of it from the street food vendors.  Here, it is cut into small chunks in which one can see that the inside of these intestines are visibly cleaned.  The raw isaw is first glazed or even dipped into Mang Raul's specialty sauce then barbequed to low fire.  There is also a distinction between Mang Raul's sauce from the other vendors, which will make you crave for it more. 

I was just a bit disappointed with the Isaw Manok, I think I had expected more with it.  Even had compared it with the isaw manok we used to it at BF Resort.  Guess they just have their own specialties. 

======================

Can I just say ... I miss you so oh much Mang Raul ... I'm craving for the taste again of the isaw baboy oooohhh
