Celebrate your birthday with endless eats and non-stop fun at Seven Corners Buffet — bring your friends and make it a memory-filled feast!

It’s always been our tradition that when a birthday is coming up in our close group of friends, we take turns treating each other. Mom Violy picks the restaurant, and we all tag along. Tito Boni prefers to use his credit card for dining discounts. Each of us has a role—Tita Edna handles the venue reservations, and Carmina coordinates with everyone to capture videos and photos during the celebration.

Giligan's

Years ago Carmina and her mom use to go shopping every once a week to their bonding the only hobby her mom love to do. Carmina's mom would crave for inexpensive Filipino dishes we would stop by during our lunch at Giligan's Restaurant. Each every time we ate there the employees would know who we are and what my mom would always order. Carmina would always order pork barbecue in a stick of two pieces with rice. Carmina's mom would always purchase other food to be taken out bringing her own plastic container for food to be consumed at home. Carmina felt like ordering at Giligan's Restaurant to try out what she miss the most is their Pork BBQ for PHP 114.00 ($2.28) and Pinakbet PHP 180.00 ($3.60).

Deli German Franks and Tender Juicy Hotdog

In the Philippines, we have a wide variety of sausages and hotdogs to suit any craving. We can enjoy them the American way in a hotdog bun or go the Filipino route by pairing them with pandesal or rice.  Hotdogs are also a staple ingredient in Filipino dishes like spaghetti, chicken pastel, and sopas, adding more flavor beyond just the usual way of eating them.  In our household, we love Purefoods products, especially the Purefoods German Franks priced at PHP 190.00 ($3.80) for 500g. Purefoods Tender Juicy Hotdog Jumbo PHP 186.00 ($3.72) 1 kilo Carmina restocked her home with food due to the extension of our lockdown until May 15, as rules prohibit going out during the pandemic. Life in the Philippines has been progressing slowly, but we’ve grown accustomed to staying home. For us, it doesn’t matter where we are as long as we have food to eat daily, something we are thankful for and feel blessed to have, even before COVID-19. Purefoods Deli German Franks and Tender Juicy Hotdo...

Carmina's Review on Banh Mee Express

Carmina found a reasonable price of a Bahn Mi that can fill you up from the price you pay for one sandwich you can purchase a second one to try which one you like the best. You're choices are from Lemon Grass Chicken, Pork BBQ and Beef. Carmina is not really a beef person so she didn't to opt it and go toward the two remaining flavors with all the vegetables all in tack inside the Bahn Mi. Vietnamese sandwich has always been my favorite but I haven't found the right one that can say this is the one. In other Vietnamese sandwiches I've tried before the bread is either too hard to chew or the texture of the bread doesn't seem to be fit to make it into a Bahn Mee. Finally from soul searching Bahn Mee Express has solved my solution from what I wanted from a Vietnamese sandwich the bread is soft; meat is flavored that reaches your taste buds and all the vegetables inside can savory to be combined all together to make a delicious Bahn Mee. Lemon Grass Chicke...

Carmina's Review on Tuk Tuk Grilled Chicken

Just the other day I was asking my best friend what meat she normally eats for her meal since she had place herself on a diet. My best friend said she normally eat chicken to combine with her vegetables on a daily basis. I felt I wanted to switch and try and eat grilled chicken but I didn't want to eat the same places I had ordered in the past. I went on my Grab Food on my phone application to search for grilled chicken and what I saw was Tuk Tuk Grilled Chicken saying it is Thai style. I figure I have never tried Thai version grilled chicken before and the price is reasonable it had arrive in a box with a plastic bag on the chicken be packed up arriving in your home. The King Solo grilled chicken wasn't sliced up you will need to do it on your own. I decided to try their pad Thai while there was a video clip on their site  Tuk Tuk Grilled Chicken  someone cooking it for PHP 295.00 ($5.90). The pad Thai is spicy need to watch out on the chili peppers that are sliced up mi...
