I’ve been wanting to try out this restaurant ever since when. Since we always pass by Banawe, this always catches my eye. I know it just looks like the same old inasal restaurants but I just have this feeling that it’s good.

So when I had the chance, I asked my friend if we could eat there.

We ordered the ff.:

  • Mixed Seafoods (Php180)

Combination of shrimps, squid, tahong, clams, crab served in a sweet & sour sauce? I’m not really sure what sauce it is. I didn’t order this so I just tried 1 piece squid heehhehe… tasted okay.

  • Plain Rice (Php40)

  • Hita (Php80)

A quarter chicken composed of thigh and leg.YUMMY ! This is all I can say, I’m completely satisfied. The chicken is juicy and I like it more when dipped in their sauce.

  • Minute Maid (Php40)

Seven Pounds Movie Review

seven-pounds-poster

I watched this movie last week and I ended up crying

It was about a man named Tim Thomas (Will Smith), who was involved in a car crash and killed 7 people including his fiance. This is due to him using his cellphone while driving. Serves as a lesson for us right?

Tim can’t seem to get over his guilt over what happened and decided to pay back by helping 7 different people.

  1. his brother Ben – he gave him a lung lobe
  2. child services worker Holly – he gave her part of his liver
  3. junior hockey coach – George – he gave a kidney
  4. a young boy Nicholas – he gave a bone marrow
  5. a mother of 2 kids w/ an abusive boyfriend – he gave his beach house
  6. blind meat salesman Ezra – he gave his corneas
  7. greeting card printer Emily – he gave his heart

As the story goes, I really can’t help but feel sorry for him. I mean I surely am guilty of texting while driving. I’ve been doing that and luckily have not been in an accident. He’s a good person, he doesn’t drink but he just got unlucky coz he was thinking about work. When I think about it, I might/will do the same thing. It just pains me to see someone go through that because of one innocent mistake. So sad…

I went out of the movie with my nose really really red. I hid in the washroom for a few minutes till I look a lil better hehehe.

I guess the biggest lesson here is not to text while driving. You don’t know that 1 simple mistake like that can do to our lives…

My rating for Seven Pounds: 4.5 out of 5 stars.

Corn Flakes Kaju Kismish

An officemate of ours was given this cereal by an Indian vendor. He shared it to the team and I felt I ate most of it coz it was left in my area.

It’s sooooooooooo overly delicious! Love it love it love it!!!

Was able to finish the whole box in less than an hour. It’s super tasty & spicy. Really didn’t felt like a cereal but more of a snack.

I wish I can buy this somewhere in the Philippines. Tried searching for it on the net and found out that it was manufactured by Frontier Biscuit and this is part of their Namkeen Packs. I still don’t think I can buy this somewhere in Manila though

One of their specialities. I like the cha-misua better but this also tasted good.

I like the version by Mann Hann better but this still tasted okay.

Aside from the ones we ordered, we are also served chips (w/c is refillable & free!!).

I seem to like this restaurant a lot, I guess this is because their food is delicious and the price are reasonable. This is now a part of my favorite place to eat list
