What made Mom Violy step out of her comfort zone and try Las Flores for lunch?

  Mom Violy wanted to try Spanish food from  Las Flores  at Robinsons Magnolia . I remembered long time ago saw a family friend when my family was visiting beginning of the year. Mom Violy couldn't remember decided to have our lunch. Carmina decided to try out their Let's Do Lunch for 595.00 pesos ($10.26). Carmina asked for vegetable soup and Bikini sandwich which is ham and mozzarella cheese with potato chips. There is an unlimited calamansi but decided to pay additional for a Coke to share with Mom Violy. Mom Violy wasn't sure what she wanted ended up eating Gambas al Ajillo and white rice. In the beginning Mom Violy thought if she ate her gambas al Ajillo with just unlimited bread from the Las Flores she won't get full. It turned out she didn't eat that much of her rice.

Carmina's Review on Soft Bites Carrot Loaf with Walnut

The time I had purchased the Soft Bites from the nearest 7 Eleven near our home there was too many people. I really didn't check when the Soft Bites what the expiration date was. I don't think one day expiration will do any harm if you have eaten it. Those who love to eat carrot, walnut and want something sweet to eat will surely enjoy it. The price of the Soft Bites Carrot Loaf is 250.00 pesos ($4.55). I was also able to try  Soft Bites Banana Loaf with Real Banana, Chocolate and Walnut . If you asked me which one, I prefer the most I'd say the Banana Loaf since I have never seen a big banana inside a loaf before loaded with chocolate. You may also want to try and see which one you prefer over the two flavors that can be purchased at the baked goods inside 7 Eleven Philippines.

Carmina's Special Wonton Recipe

Carmina wanted to make her own home-made wonton, but it turns out to be the same lumpia shanghai recipe of Manang V. Only difference my ingredients I added became my own special recipe. The green onion I had growing in my window used some of it cutting the tips. I also purchased half kilo fresh shrimp known to use for tempura at Farmers Market. I couldn't believe the prices of food now realizing I use to live someone's home not fully paying my groceries. Now, I can relate to my family and friends who has always complained about the expenses they have weekly on food. We learn to start budget what we can only afford. One reason I wanted to make my own dumplings having it stocked up in my freezer. Those days I wanted to just eat soup or fried wanton I can just cook it at home. Carmina's Special Dumpling Recipe Ingredients: 1/2 Kilo Fresh Shrimp (remove shell, head and clean it) 1 - Pack of Molo Wrapper 1/2 Kilo Ground Pork 1 - Carrot (grated) 1/2 Cup Green Onions (chopped) Bla...
