Masuki
When I was still working in Makati, I used to accompany Boyps in buying breakfast. Most of the time, we just go straight to Philam's food court and choose from a variety of stores in place. One time, we both decided to buy big siopao at Luchincy's. One for each. When I was about to eat it in my workstation, a friend told me that if I want big siopao, I should visit Masuki in Binondo. So this was the reason why we had another Binondo food trip. :) Quest for big siopaos. :p
I love restaurants / fast foods with just few menu options. It wouldn't be difficult for customers to choose what to eat. Masuki serves noodles and dimsum. We have asked the server what's their best seller and he recommended Beef Wonton Chicken Asado Mami (Php 190). With just its name, it looks like everything is in it. It has beef chunks, chicken strips, pork slices and wonton. The soup was hot and delicious. I put some sweet sauce in it to add sweetness to its salty taste. It was also served with spring onions. Our bowl is quite big and loaded with noodles and meat. I was just so happy when it was also served with another bowl of soup. Haha. It's like having two bowls but paying for 1. :) 
And since we came there for their big siopao, we ordered 1 Special Asado siopao (Php 80). The filling is a mixture of pork asado flakes, sliced chicken and salted egg. It wasn't as special and yummy as I expected but it was still good. Luchinsy's siopao was still bigger than Masuki's.

We enjoyed our experience in Masuki. If you want some noodles to warm your tummy, go visit Masuki. Just be careful when it rains because some of the rain water flows inside their store.

Kalbi
It was a bit late in the evening when we decided to have dinner in Glorietta. We settled at the Food Court (food choices) of the mall to make the selection of restaurant / fast food easier. But Boyps is always having difficulty choosing where to eat when we are at a food court. He has a tendency to roam around twice (or more) before he can decide where and what to try. That night, I immediately chose Kalbi while he's still thinking. But guess where he ended up? Same with mine. Bwaha.. Kalbi ka din pala e:p
So here's what we ordered:
Boyps tried their Chicken - KB (Php 149)  - it is a meal with chicken chunks, whole kernel corn, bean sprouts, kimchi and sunny side-up egg on top of a plain rice. It was yummy and saucy. The serving is big, really big! Sulit kung sulit!

I settled for Chicken Burrito (Php 159) - A super huge tortilla with rice, chicken, onions and other veggies inside. It has a mild spicy taste but not as yummy as Mexican Express'. It's quite difficult to eat because it was very siksik (loaded). Another sulit (getting more that what you payed for) dish. I had to take home the other half because I got so full with the 1st one. It also comes with a free side dish and I chose Nachos with cheese.

Korean Ice Creams
Boyps has been wanting to try the Korean fish ice cream so when I saw it in 1 of the 7-11 stores in Makati, I bought him one. According to him, it was just an ordinary ice cream. Haha. He was a bit disappointed when he got to taste it.
We saw Melona Ice cream in one of the shops in Binondo. Boyps said that there's something inside the popsicle so I kept on looking while eating. I'm almost done but seen nothing except for the stick. So if there's anyone who can tell me what Korean Ice cream has a filling (except for the fish) please leave a comment. :p I'll surely be back in that store to try other Korean products. Hihi

Sorry I forgot the name of the Korean store.
Trippings with Hot and Cold from South to North
This blog entry happened last Apr 30. Haha. I've been busy and lazy lately that I almost forgot that I have a blog to maintain. Hehe.
It was another Saturday again with Boyps and his mom. We are scheduled to go to Divisoria to accompany tita in buying pasalubongs for her relatives in the province. We were there at around 10 in the morning and finished shopping at 2 pm. It’s past lunch time but the common "where to eat" problem has already been resolved. J

Sincerity
We thought of coming back to Sincerity since we were not satisfied with the food we eat on our 1st visit.  Here’s what we ordered:

Sincerity’s Fried Chicken – a house specialty. It’s juicy on the inside but not so crispy on the outside.
Fish ball Soup – the soup was good and served hot. Its fish balls have meat inside that made it different from other fish ball soups.
I got sausage fried rice – typical fried rice with generous slices of sausages.
Shanghai fried rice and Kiampong for Boyps. Kiampong is a fried rice (quite sticky) with nuts, veggies and meat. This is yummy and really one of my favorites.
Machang for his mother. Machang is made up of glutinous rice mixed with some meat inside wrapped in a banana leaf. It tastes and looks like suman.
We only had few dishes on the table but we ended up so full after eating all of it. Manila Adventure will never be complete without having a Binondo trip. J

Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf

After our Binondo trip, we headed to Robinson’s Manila to continue with Tita’s shopping spree. After an hour and a half of walking, we went to Coffee Bean and Tea leaf for a coffee break. Ever since I tried their Caramel frap, I just found myself addicted to CBTF fraps. This time, I got their White Chocolate Dream Latte.
Another must try frap in this coffee shop. It’s a white chocolate mixed with espresso and topped with a whip. I also got a slice of cheesecake to pair up with our drinks.

After this, I went to SM North Edsa for some personal business. J It was a tiring day though but it was another fun Saturday with Boyps and his mom.
