Good Food Need Not Be Expensive

Do you often go out for lunch or dinner while working and spend so much money for it? I guess it's time to put a stop to that because it certainly isn't a smart thing to do if you are working just paycheck to paycheck. Eh? That's not right. No, you don't have to call on the whole team and run for your lives using a robot. Exhibit A:

Well, what's  a better idea than to actually face the problem head on. Get your gears going and never skip a meal because Jollibee has them all. Have you bought JolliSavers meal? It saved me a ton because it only costs Php 50 for a Burger Steak. Imagine my joy to have that with a 100% beef patty, smothered with mushroom gravy and a cup of white rice. The same goes for the Jolly Spaghetti, made even meatier with slices of ham, ground beef and hotdogs... then topped with cheese. They also have Jollibee's YUM Burger, affordable for only Php 30 so how can we not be full after that meal?

See? It doesn't have to be expensive because there's always a hot, satisfying meal at the lovable Jollibee store near you. Really, good food need not be expensive no?

Jollibee Asks: What's Your Story?

I'm just like you, just like anybody who grew up in the Philippines who spent a couple hours of their lifetime to be in a well loved hamburger chain that started in this country. I always had several treats, birthday parties and sorties held in the Diamond Cubao branch when I was a kid, let alone just about any of their other branches in the metro where I had to cover events, attend my godsons and goddaughters birthday parties, or be with family because I love Chickenjoy and my Dad loves Palabok above anything else on their menu.

You see, just about anybody has their own #KwentongJollibee, and this year Jollibee is thinking of you. They wanted their commercials hit it right home, to be close to where your heart is, and touch you, your lives when you least expect it. Take a moment to sit down and prepare your tissue/napkins because this might change you. This is in celebration of their 38th year in existence.

Make sure you watch all the videos:

Here are highlights from the Premier Night

How about you? What's your #KwentongJollibee?

Shakey's Opens New Store in Bonifacio Stopover

A few days ago, we visited the new Shakey's branch in Bonifacio Stopover. It's the commercial space located at the corner of 31st and 2nd Avenue in Bonifacio Global City. It's also called BGC Stopover Pavilion and houses some of the newest restaurants in this side of Taguig. Aside from that, Shakey's is taking your ordering experience to a new level as they introduce the new Shakey's App which is now available in App Store and Google Play. Check out this video I made on how you can use it to order.

You can still order the classic way though, yeap! Dial 77777 and they can get you what you want, what you love in the Shakey's menu. Might I suggest the Philly Cheese Steak Pizza while you're at it. There are also several meal packages so if you're with friends or family, you'll save a lot but won't compromise taste. Shakey's has good food and finally, they've also devised a way to make anybody send their loved ones some good ol family treats because people, especially the OFW's can now order online and send it to the addresses of anyone here in the Philippines where their delivery service is available. If you don't like to go through installing the app, you can visit https://www.shakeyspizza.ph/ and do the same. But remember, when you use the app, you also have the chance to have the digital version of the Shakey's Supercard so you can get perks and freebies when you want it, where you want it! Or you can tie up your existing one and get points together. 

I had the Cucumber Cooler Shake, Fried Chicken, Mojos, Pizza, Carbonara and Spaghetti. Loved every bit of it so I always go back to the same place almost every week with friends and family. It's Shakey's time!

Healthy Splenda Pinoy Spaghetti!

We all have that day where everything doesn't happen to what we wish it would be. Mine just happened recently. There is always one person though who knows something is wrong with me, my Mom. She always prepares the best whenever I'm home because everybody knows my favorite... Spaghetti!

She's been doing legwork for it since I have ever known; so this time I want her to take a rest and let me do the cooking. Problem is my Mom and Dad are diabetic and when they want Filipino spaghetti I usually take out some of the ingredients but it won't feel the same if it didn't have that sweetness. Good thing there's Splenda!

I got the ingredients here!

Pinoy Spaghetti

1 Kg Pasta
1 large onion
2 cloves garlic
3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
2 teaspoons capers
1/2 cup black olives
1 Kg Lean Ground Beef
1 bottle of banana ketchup
10 pieces of hotdogs
4 cups tomato sauce
1/2 cup tomato paste
1 tbsp Splenda
2 cups water
2 tbsp all purpose flour
Salt and Pepper to taste
1 big block cheese (You can't have enough of it!)

Boil a few liters of water enough to cover the pasta. Drop in the spaghetti and wait for 8-10 minutes or according to package instructions. Leave just a little bit on the pasta because I'm sure you'll have some let to be mixed with your sauce later.

Separate a half a kilogram of beef and put salt and pepper, onions, garlic on it to make small meatballs. Roll on flour and fry until golden brown. Saute in a pan a heap of onions, garlic and evoo then wait for it to become translucent. Throw in the other half kilogram of beef and brown it. Pour in tomato sauce, the bottle of ketchup and water. Wait for it to boil then simmer for a few minutes. Slice the hotdog diagonally and throw it in, simmer another 5 minutes. Throw in the capers and olives then turn off the stove. Put in salt and pepper to taste. Put back the meatballs and let them simmer for around 2 minutes. Then serve.

Serving, just put a hefty amount of pasta on a bowl. Pour in the meat sauce on top and put in as much cheese that they can take, melt it under a salamander or your oven. You really can't have enough of that! You can even put ribonettes of basil if you want to make it a little classy for your taste.

My Mom loved it and it doesn't have sugar. My Dad almost ate half of it LOL. It's the time to share with friends and family. Health wise you don't have to worry because there's Splenda taking care of that. Oh, which reminds me a box of these even had Quaker Oats on it which we'll have tomorrow for breakfast! Merry Christmas guys! :) Get one on stores now!

A Fun Rockeoke Night With Your Barkada and Greenwich!

I have never been so busy in the office, but going to a place of fun with the whole barkada has always been a treat! It was really nice seeing new people.It was nice gathering and making fools of ourselves every once in a while through good food and a couple of rounds in ROCKEOKE. An acoustic band that can literally play any song you like while singing in front of your new found friends. It's one of the perks I enjoyed going to Greenwich, I can't tell you how many times I said WOW when food came out of the kitchen. Are you ready?

I LOVE Onion Rings so this hot batch was wiped out after a few minutes. I also love how generous Greenwich is in also pairing this up with a Garlic Ranch Dip. Perfect appetizer!

Spicy with the right amount of kick! You won't stop munching on these Buffalo Wings, another favorite on the Greenwich menu. I should know, I had 6 pcs of this!

Make sure you get one of the best pizza's in the Philippines and get overloaded with All Meat and Cheese OVERLOAD! Get the Barkada Size - Thin crust! You won't have any problems making your friends satisfied with their meal!

Of course I would never leave the store without one of my favorites the hot LASAGNA! Oozing cheese, meat and pasta... need I say more? This to me is one of the best comfort foods you can ever find in a fast food joint! I love it!

Desserts come in nice small packages and this one packs a punch! Sweet tooth just got more sweeter with caramel and chocolate with these Frozen Dessert Cups!

My love for pasta is unquestionable. If you frequent some of the food blogs that I go to I always request to have some of the Spaghetti dishes sent to me because that's my favorite! I don't even know how many kilos I have actually devoured in my lifetime but I'm telling you I probably have eaten more of this than rice at home. My whole childhood was based on this LOL! Good thing GREENWICH listened to the clamor for this dish that Filipinos absolutely LOVE! Best of all, it's at a price point incomparable to any other restaurant with the same caliber and amount of pasta!

Would you believe this bowl of pasta only costs 49 Pesos? Yeap! You heard that right! How in the world can something like this cost less than 50 pesos?! Think about thick, sweet, and oh so meaty red tomato based sauce poured over more than the usual amount of pasta (25% MORE)... how can anyone NOT love that??? It's crazy! It's UNBELIEVABLE! It's only at GREENWICH!

A night out with friends or barkada us just bliss! More so if you celebrate life's precious moments with Greenwich. You should try that out pretty soon!
