LEST YOU FORGET

Saw this at Oprah tonight.

The Doorganizer© is a hanging reminder and organizer for the doorknob. Ideal for keys, eyeglasses, cell phones, palm-held devices, music players, even envelopes or newspapers fit into the strip at the back!

Absolute kewlness. Would make a great Christmas gift too.

I sure hope they have this is in Manila!

MANNA FROM HEAVEN

My fascination with Korean food may pale in comparison to my obsession with everything Japanese. Nonetheless, I alway enjoy every Korean experience, however far and in between they may be. So when the opportunity came--with my Pepper Lunch groupies, who was I to say no?!?!

Aside from the Kimchi and appetizer staples, we also had our faves--Dolsot Bibimbap, Chapchae, Beef Stew and darn, I forgot the name of that thingamajigs you wrap in lettuce leaves! Hehehe. For dessert we stopped over at the neighboring minimart (a sister company actually) for the best ice drop I have ever tasted--in honeydew flavor at that!!!

So without further ado, here are my long overdue pictures from my recent Korean lunch...Manna Garden Restaurant & Manna Minimart

A HOME AWAY FROM HOME

The trip to Mom and Tina's Bakery cafe, my first, was as wonderful as spending time with those I hold dear--which I did actually. My first meal at this cozy little resto was with my dear sister, D.Nestled at the heart of Perea St., inside Legaspi Village, Mom and Tina's offers an interest range of soups and salads, pasta, casseroles, steaks and sandwiches, and a whole lot more. Price is reasonable, averaging around P150.00 per dish. Their line-up of desserts and sweets include cupcakes, brownies, pies, cookies, to name a few. They also sell baked goods in boxes and jars that would make great party desserts and Yuletide gifts.

Seated at a cozy nook of the restaurant, "utol" (who was feeling pretty down due to some problem with her contact lenses) and I had the Bacon and Spinach Quiche for starters and then we had a serving of Callos and Chicken Alexander--all winners!!! Instant mood improvement for the "utol"!For dessert, D, who's on her 5th month of pregnancy, craved for Mango squares (which she finished before I could take a photo of it) while I chose to take home a box of cupcakes for the Haligi and Haligilet. Let these pictures tell the story of our meal...
