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 ...

Carmina Lifestyle Went Live Streaming with Mom Violy at Manila Baywalk Dolomite Beach

Before Carmina had planned to do a live streaming with Mom Violy she had informed her once you've talked there is no way to edit it. 🤣 Mom Violy at first was quiet giving a heads up.  Carmina explained to Mom Violy she needs to start doing live streaming which is required for everyone who wants to ads on reels in their Facebook. It is a challenge we need to conquer even if we don't know what to discuss while having a live streaming. In the beginning Carmina informed Mom Violy she'll walk at the sky bridge since I was informed it was the only way to cross over to the other side. Mom Violy said, no. I'll just stay in the car. Carmina was preparing herself and began leaving the car. Mom Violy said, okay I'll go with you. I asked Mom Violy are you sure you'll be alright climbing the stairs up on the sky bridge.  It turns out Mom Violy came along with Carmina to explore.  Afterwards walking on Roxas Boulevard Carmina was looking for the entrance of  Manila Bay Walk ...

Mom Violy Craving for Olive Garden's Never-Ending Soup, Salad and Breadsticks

Carmina informed Mom Violy that she would be in the area of Mall of Asia and invited her to join. Mom Violy suggested eating at Olive Garden, and Carmina agreed since they had seen one months ago before dining at another restaurant. The Never-Ending Soup, Salad, and Breadsticks costs 795.00 pesos ($14.00), and you can choose a different soup for this meal. Mom Violy's favorite is the Chicken & Gnocchi soup. Carmina tried their Minestrone during her last visit to Olive Garden. This time, my meal included soup, so I chose the Zuppa Toscana with spicy sausage, kale, and potatoes. It wasn’t as spicy as the server had described. Carmina ordered the Italian Braised Short Ribs , which comes with a choice of rice or mashed potatoes, for 995.00 pesos ($17.45). Each main course includes salad and soup, so you can enjoy a satisfying meal by the time you reach the main dish, along with breadsticks.  A family member ordered the Shrimp Scampi Pasta , which comes with salad, soup, and bre...
