The Man, The Chicken and The Blog--

Shop at More Food Adventures

A man who ate an entire chicken complained to his friends that the restaurant where he bought the chicken from should be responsible for causing him stomach ache. His friends told him that it isn't the restaurant's fault for he consumed all the chicken in just one sitting. He insisted that it is their fault. So a friend of his offered to come by his house and talked some sense into him. He compared the incident to a motorcycle accident, which accordingly was the fault of the driver. So was the comparison. But then, the man said, what if it is the fault of the maker of the motorcycle? What if the motorcycle was not at all safe to drive, hence, the accident. That was the only time that the friend listened intently to the man. And yeah, what if the chicken was bad after all. So immediately, he brought his friend to the hospital for some check up. And well, it was found out that some virus of some sort came from the chicken. And the man was relieved. Finally, he has a witness and proof of his claims. When asked how he came up with the thought, he replied that he read from a blog about motorcycle accident attorney who are said to be committed to provide their clients with superior service and legal representation for accident injury victims all over the state of Texas. Amazing info..

Food Pasalubong Cart: Malaysia Style

So like the Philippine setting. So many food stalls and food carts with similar foodies, but tastes differently and well, presented differently.. That was what caught my attention when we went to Johor Bahru, Malaysia for lunch and shopping at Johor Bahru Square..

If Marooned...

Shop at More Food Adventures

If you have been caught in the middle of the road, on a strange place, where people speak a different language than you, and you need roadside assistance plan, what should you do? It seem quite unfair to be in that kind of situation, but sometimes, it does happen, so we better be prepared. A friend of mine asked me that while we were having dinner one time, and well, surreal as it may seem, I answered with a definite YES. well, why not? I have had Japanese students before. I have had Chinese as well as Korean students, all learning English at a rather slow pace because they were beginners, and tutoring them in Conversational English was rather NOT a difficult task because I go by body language. It was rather fun.

So maybe it would not be as bad as it would seem should I get marooned in an unknown land, with no language compatibility.. I guess all we can do in that very situation is smile and be friendly----

What do you think?

Food Republic at Vivo City

Shop at More Food Adventures

This is actually a late post as I just found the pictures now.. Hehehe.. This was on the third to the last day that 

my aunts and parents were visiting us in Singapore.. (us, because I was not supposed to come home as I had done so, hehehe...) This was when we went to Sentosa.. Well, we were supposed to take the rails, but after lunch at Food Republic, Tito Noel took us to SENTOSA via the casino's way.. we took the rails after our Sentosa tour.. 

Below are some of the foodies we ate:

Chili Chicken Wings

One of the plates with Mixed Fruits (btw, that purple thing is not a fruit.. I wonder why the "auntie" placed it there.. hahaha)

I do not know the name of this soup, I forgot--- sorry..

Satay (pork, beef, chicken and lamb) and that round thing that is sliced into four parts is actually rice, which we didn't quite guess to be so, hahaha

Another plate of Mixed Fruits

All went well for everyone with each a cup of Fresh sugar Cane drink..

I can't believe I still have lots of unposted photos.. Well, keep posted..

Must Be The Floor Grinders..

Shop at More Food Adventures

A new restaurant is now open. It has the greatest ambiance and well, it is really very cozy. I bet they use the best concrete floor polishing to make the floors shine.. I heard that when the place was yet in the process of renovation, the contractor needed to use strong floor grinders and all other tools for floor removal. It was not as good looking as when it was back then. After the transformation, everything looked majestically wonderful..

I think that the contractors really did a good job with the transformation the place. I heard that innovatechproducts.com is where they got their tools and machinery so their work must really be superb. It all takes not only skills but good machinery too. I have heard a lot of building contractors and engineers say that. As a matter of fact, even if the worker is not that skillful, for as long as they have the right tool and regimen, then they will do just fine.. Well, that is what they say.. But perhaps, there is some truth to that one. Perhaps tools really create an impact in the project. Even simple art work can be cited as an example for this theory. Oh well, I am sure the foreman of the project is good too. Good that he has picked the right skilled workers to match the right tools and machinery. Making the right choices is also a skill. Don't you agree?

Anyway, back to this restaurant. I love the interiors as well as the over all design of the place. It just makes you wanna drift and have a happy meal there always.. Now, if you are curious as to where this might be, do send me a comment or two. I would love to discuss this further on..

Have A Break..

Shop at More Food Adventures

Here in the Philippines, an electric car insurance is not likely applicable because there is not enough citizens who own electric cars.And if ever they do, it is not here in the Philippines but in other countries. Of course, people wit vehicles are swamped with fees and dues because of their car insurances and all other car maintenance. But some, as a breather, would give themselves a break from these by selling their vehicles and buying new ones.. At least that was what my friend told me. That is how they get to pay less for their vehicle maintenance.. They buy a new one every time, and every six months to a year, they sell, and buy a new one..

Just Asking..

Shop at More Food Adventures

I wonder if professionals like a foot doctor, or a Mesothelioma lawyer. or a psychologist would eat Balut.. I know it is not in one's position or profession, but Balut is something that people of other cultures would certainly doubt eating.. Just like my musician friend from Dallas, Texas.

How about "Balat" or Sea Cucumber? Would you eat it?

Uhm..

Shop at More Food Adventures

Kids ages three to five, may have some difficulty eating on their own without messing any of their clothing.. So most of the time, they are guided by adults in this arena, specially when eating in public. Unless of course it's okay to have a kid with spaghetti sauce all over his shirt, shorts and even his soccer socks and shoes.. Sure, it's a good way for kids to explore but being messy and looking messy afterward is not at all a good idea. At least to me that is. That is why I am now glad that Lili and River can finally eat with less mess, and on their own. Before, we used to spoon feed them so that they won't have messy shirts and hair. It may be cute to some people, to the point of taking photos of such mess, but I can not tolerate it. When kids grow older and they see those photos, they may develop some esteem issues brought about by the said photos..

The Lost Rings

Shop at More Food Adventures

A friend of mine is getting married in June this year, and well, have already had the food and caterers ready, gowns and bride's maids' dresses ready-- and the venue for the reception as well as the church. But, you know what? They have to buy a new set of wedding bands. A new set? Yes, and it is not because the bride wants one from the 2011 Wedding Bands Collection from 25karats.com, oh no! It so happened that someone took the wedding bands from where they were kept. For what reason, remains unclear. The Engagement Rings are safe as they have been worn by the couple. If only they were not taken, then they would have to look for the perfect Anniversary Rings for next year from the said 2011 collection. Good thing that one of the principal sponsors offered to give the couple the new set as her gift... Bless her soul.

25karats.com is indeed a good place to look for wedding bands, engagement rings and all others for this effect. Each of their wedding band is fully customizable for the width, as to thickness, choice of metal type and even color. What's more, they provide the gram weights for each ring which is not likely from other makers..

Well, I am sure it is going to be a great wedding..

The Brother's Pasalubong

My brother arrived today from his out of town trip. And he brought home huge Durians and the two goodies above..  They were yummy, we ate them during snack time in the afternoon. 

This Buko Pie is not too sweet. Just right for warm chocolate drink on a rainy afternoon.. And I couldn't believe that it was bought somewhere in Maramag.. 

This cute cake, on the other hand, was a wedding give away. He and his co workers, with their boss, attended a co worker's wedding too.. Whatta trip..

Sakae Sushi (Singapore)

Shop at More Food Adventures

Do you like sushi? Here are some of the Sushi and other Japanese treats we ate at Sakae Sushi located at the Parkway Parade in Singapore. My tito loves Japanese food, and he tells us that we should be eating more Japanese food as they are less fattening...  Well, if it tastes good like that at Sakae Sushi, then it won't be a problem.. But if it would taste bad like my previous experience with Japanese food somewhere in Cebu, then never mind. 

You see that green beans? It was served raw. OMG! That part, I didn't quite take. But Grandma loved them..

Above and below? Sooo Yummy!!!

And the healthy salad too. That is actually called Sashimi Salad..

Of course, more sushi from the rotating sushi bar...

Whatta yummy experience.. My friend Theresa, the one who frequents the free online dating sites I mentioned in my previous posts love Sakae Sushi..
