Indigested girl at Pancake House

Last night, [Wednesday night] I was such an indigested girl, sooo wanting to taste real food already!!! I've spent my whole Tuesday eating nothing but yogurt. I wasn't able to go to work so I decided to stay home and pray and fast and there came the yogurt diet. I was able to wake up the next day feeling better so I guess the yogurt diet went well for me. So I continued on my yogurt diet at work, feeling so weak already in the afternoon, [weak, light headed and nauseated so to speak] 5pm, I cannot take it anymore, seeing those little pandesal[s] at the nurse's station, I asked my co-staff who owns them for 1 piece of it and eat it with so much joy in my heart :) Then I somehow felt relieved from the light headedness. Finished my 12 hour shift by the grace of God and then met with bf in Cubao. Seeing this always-hungry-never-full young man smiling and laughing at my 12 hour duty story, made me all hungry :P So with his smile and appetite, we drove to Eton Q. Avenue for some light dinner.

So at Pancake House we went!! Ok, i wasn't able to take pictures because I was really hungry! :-s Imagine ME not eating for almost 2 whole days??! ;p I ordered their soup of the day which is a creamy corn soup and I wasn't able to keep myself from ordering Fried Chicken! and so I ordered 'em two pieces! with bread instead of rice! :) and made J order the pasta I wanted to try - Seafood Gambero [something like it] :p I was soooo tempted to have pancakes as well because they're my favoriteeeee but yet I was thinking of the condition of my tummy so the soup and chicken and some bites from J's pasta are more than enough already.

This chicken picture isn't from my cam, it's from the net. [from random pix so wasn't able to link the source too] I think it would just be better to see this blog with even just a picture. Hehe. =p This was what i had last night sans the rice :)


The corn soup was ok, nothing special to the taste. The fried chicken is just ordinary. It's crispy though but our house 'manang' can really cook one like it :) and the Seafood pasta is also just-ok. I don't know if it's just my sick-palate but I think it's not as tasty as it should've been. All in all, Pancake House serves great pancakes but their meals [or the ones that we tried] are just ordinary. I'd still try their other pasta dishes next time though:) The place [in Eton] was clean, ventilation was good and the service staff's friendly. I am just happy to have said my goodbyes to yogurt last night and hello again to REAL food and to the REAL matakaw me!! :)

Fire Chocolate Fire!!!

June 26, 2010. The craving for chocolates started early that morning! I'm used to having these chocolate cravings monthy so it was no surprise for me. Since it was a Saturday and it's Date Night, J and I decided to drop by and try Chocolate Fire's belgian chocolates after our dinner and movie date. And it was paradise! There are a lot of chocolate creations on their display counter to choose from! I just couldn't decide what to have! I never thought it would be that hard! :p And I was on my way of pressing the shutter release button of my camera to take pictures of those yummy chocolates when the staff told me that I just can't take pictures! Ok, my excitement went off a bit but I tried shaking it off and bought pringles dipped in belgian chocolate, a 'love' belgianchocolate cake and a creamy hot belgian chocolate drink instead! and it was Belgianifico! It has satisfied my cravings so much that I spent my weekend at home suffering from tonsilitis! So much for "BELGIAN" ei? :P
The Pringles dipped in chocolate was yummy and i love its salty + sweet taste but I think I can make it at home. My version will just be Pringles dipped in Nutella :)

 Sad lil me taking pictures from a distance :P
The cake was belgiany-delicious! If there's such a word! I love it's very sweet taste but I know of people who wouldn't like it as much as I did because as I've said, it was VERY sweet.
The winner of them all goes to the Hot belgian chocolate milk drink with whipped cream! It was soooo creamy that there came a time after that experience that I've just craved for that chocolate drink and we went all our way to Chocolate Fire to have a sip =)

Korea Garden Restaurant

Korea Garden Restaurant
Jupiter Street, Makati

Since I'm staying home tonight because of Indigestion, and won't be tasting REAL food for like 3 days (as what I think's gonna be the best for me), I'll be starting off this Bloggin' with a Restaurant Review :) And as I search and open my Drive D, my attention was caught by my 'Korea Garden' folder.

One usual Saturday night, my Bf and I decided to go try Korea Garden Restaurant in Makati. I wasn't really a Korean food fan so I wasn't expecting too much from the experience but from the appetizers which they serve in -as my bf will call it- 'bottomless', I'd say that LOVE has come my way that night. Lol. I've really enjoyed everything they served us. Blame it on my memory gap, lol, but I don't remember the names of what we've eaten. I'll try to write them down next time, but I'll be posting some pictures so i hope it'd help somehow.







 their FREE and "BOTTOMLESS" appetizer :)



 this was soooo yummy! i guess this is bulgogi :p
 some rice topping :p
 beef stew





 perfect match!!!
 this picture shows that the owner of the hand just can't get enough of what he's having! :P

The place is clean and when it comes to service, the staff were well trained, they're accomodating and aware whenever you need a refill of your free appetizers. All in all, I can say I was satisfied and was happy to have tried their restaurant. I'd definitely be back soon! Have tried other Korean Restaurants too after the experience because Korea Garden made me appreciate korean food more. Will post the other korean restaurants review when i get the chance.
