Mom Violy and Carmina’s dining experience at Dean & DeLuca

  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 ...

Pancit Canton and other food second time around in Ha-Inan

Duty calls Carmina's mom is asking for food to order the two weeks supplements this time her daughter recommended a new place to try. Carmina was able to give her mom three pieces of the creamy chicken empanditas to let her try last week. Carmina's mom liked it asked to order her more. Carmina decided to order for the twelve pieces we're small in size giving enough to eat for PHP 208.00 ($4.16). Carmina had mentioned to her mom about the fresh lumpia being PHP 175.00 ($3.50) tasting really good. I had placed it in a plastic container being delivered to her home since it was placed in a small carton. Carmina knows her mom too well she will ask for extra sauce note each sauces is five pesos each additional in the meal you will receive three individual sauce for the Lumpiang Sariwa. Carmina had screenshot the menu to her mom to let her decide what else she wanted to try and she wanted the pancit canton for solo size PHP 90.00 ($1.80).  We'll see the outcome of my mom when ...

Chick n' Walfdorf Salad from Veggie Guys

You don't have veggies in your home Carmina went ahead and ordered her salad from Veggie Guys food that are all healthy for you. I remember a relative telling me she loves to order Walfdorf Salad in the United States while she was explaining the ingredients lettuce, apple, grapes, walnuts, celery and mayonnaise. I felt I wanted to try it too but in the Philippines only the vegan way. Carmina had placed her order through Grab application on her phone to have the rider pick it up for PHP 307.00 ($6.14) not including delivery fee and tip to the rider. Highlight the Chick n' Walfdorf is made of tofu and it does have the same ingredients I have mentioned in the beginning just it is sliced small. The Chick n' Walfdorf Salad taste different being vegan but nothing bad especially if you're use to eating plant based food. At least you can consider finding food when you're a vegetarian you won't have a hard time visiting or living in the Philippines. There are varieties o...
