When Mom Violy wanted seafood, one name kept popping up: Breakthrough Restaurant. Would it live up to the hype?

After a road trip and exploring the area, Mom Violy requested some seafood and was given a recommendation to dine at  Breakthrough Restaurant . When we entered the restaurant, we saw it was bustling with customers, and Mom Violy asked for a table by the window to enjoy the beach view . The server informed us that we needed to place our order at the counter and choose the seafood to be weighed, similar to the process at Dampa . Tita Edna was busy snapping photos, while Carmina was filming as Mom Violy placed her order. Breakthrough isn’t air-conditioned, but they provide electric fans at your table for comfort. Mom Violy wanted sinigang and was deciding which kind of fish to have with her soup. Mom Violy requested the crab and shrimp to be cooked in butter and garlic. Mom Violy also ordered adobong pusit (squid). Tita Edna placed her own order, which was kilawin na dilis . Carmina wanted fresh lumpia , but since it wasn’t available, she opted for pinakbet instead. Everything seeme...

Sando Bag in Assorted Color and Size

Mom Violy wanted her daughter Carmina to purchase some plastic bags to put food that she is giving away to the security guards that works in the condominium. Carmina had sent Mom Violy a screenshot of sellers who sell those types of tiny bags. Mom Violy wanted to ask  Go Green Enterprise  whether the plastic bags we're thick. Go Green Enterprise and informed me they we're thin and for one time use purpose. Go Green Enterprise had suggested a thicker plastic bag. Mom Violy decided not to purchase and went along to what she wanted Carmina to order for her. The best part it all arrived for the deadline when the ECQ would begin in the Philippines. Carmina would be able to let Mom Violy use it for her daily use. Just how Mom Violy shops for her clothes she has assorted colors of Sando bags in Tiny size for PHP 39.00 ($0.78) each. Sample photo how a sando bag look and the size is listed from Go Green Enterprise. Mom Violy also wanted sando bags in a large size to throw out her trash...

Member's Value Apple Turnover

I remember way back when I was young we use to buy apple turnover at the grocery store. My sister and I would always heat it up in the oven. We would bring out some vanilla ice-cream. They call it pie a ala mode in California. It is a popular dessert. Carmina was able to find Member's Value Apple Turnover in S&R Philippines for PHP 349.00 ($6.98) for one pack that has four pieces. If you don't have an conventional oven no problem you can heat it up in a toaster oven for five minutes. Carmina doesn't have any ice-cream in her home.  The only difference from my memory that the Member's Value Apple Turnover doesn't have that much apple filling or have any raisin is what I can remember in my childhood years. The layer of pastry crust has a coated of sugar on top and light and crispy not bad for an apple turnover made by Member's Value. NOTE: Carmina is not selling or advertising for Member's Value Apple Turnover from S&R Philippines. SUBSCRIBE & FOLL...
