Mom Violy told me she wanted to order the Paella Negra from Dean & Deluca. Carmina suggested we dine in since we’d never really tried their main courses, always just getting takeout with the cream puffs . Mom Violy agreed, and we arrived about thirty minutes before the lunch rush began. The service was very slow, even though we had ordered ahead of time. They mistakenly brought out the Paella Valenciana , despite Mom Violy repeating the order three times to the person who took it. It turned out the cook on duty made the error, even though it was written down clearly. We know Paella Negra takes a long time to prepare, which is why Mom Violy had requested it to be cooked beforehand. She wanted it as her main meal, but because of the mix-up and feeling hungry, she took a piece of Carmina’s Turkey Club Sandwich and asked for the bacon on the side. I didn’t expect the turkey to be just one piece, and the bread was toasted so hard that it removed one layer of the sandwich. Since ...
Carmina had a family member ask what to eat for lunch since the kitchen was being disinfected and we couldn’t cook. The family member had recently started a diet, and Carmina suggested eating something healthier instead of resorting to fast food. When Carmina asked if they wanted sandwiches, I started naming various places, but the person kept saying no. I then suggested the Vietnamese sandwiches we usually enjoy when dining out. The family member agreed, and we decided to revisit a spot we had tried in the past. Since the family member isn’t a fan of vegetables, I always order the veggies and sauce on the side. My friend, who is knowledgeable about exercise and health, recommends incorporating protein into a diet. Following that advice, we chose the Protein Monster, which includes Vietnamese BBQ pork, ham, roasted pork, and omelets, with other ingredients like pâté, cucumber, pickled radish and carrots, mayo, hoisin sauce, and cilantro served on the side. It costs PHP 159.00 for a Junior Size or PHP 229.00 ($4.58) for a Full Size.
Lemongrass Chicken includes Vietnamese BBQ chicken, served with sides like pâté, cucumber, pickled radish and carrots, mayonnaise, hoisin sauce, and cilantro. The Junior Size is priced at PHP 109.00, with an additional PHP 80.00, making the total cost PHP 189.00 ($3.78).
The Classic includes Vietnamese ham, roast pork, carrots, mayo, hoisin sauce, cilantro, pâté, cucumber, and pickled radish and carrots. It costs PHP 109.00 for the Junior size, or you can pay an extra PHP 80.00 for the Full size, totaling PHP 189.00 ($3.78).
With no electricity for three hours in the Philippines and relying only on a generator at home, a cold drink became a necessity. For someone on a diet, it turned into a small cheat day with a large caramel drink priced at PHP 159.00 ($3.18).
Vietnamese Sandwich was all wrapped up and secured when it had arrived in a paper sleeve.
