Food Adventure | Jamba Juice

Hi, everyone! Yesterday, the Puangco clan decided to eat out at Xoi (which I will post about in a separate entry), which serves Vietnamese food. After a hearty dinner we decided to try and be healthy--something that is quite the challenge in the Puangco household--and snack on something fruity instead of the usual dairy-loaded options. :) Delicious, delicious, delicious! The prices are a bit higher than you would usually pay for a fruit shake but for their juice recipes and unique fruit blends, it's definitely worth it. :)

Thanks to my sissy, Wina for the photos!

Home-made Burger Steak & Chicken Chowder

A couple of weeks ago, I made Home-made Burger Steak with home-made mushroom gravy (unfortunately, there was no photo of that) and Chicken Chowder with Bacon on top. The family really enjoyed it! And while it wasn't (admittedly) the most healthy of dishes, it was a treat for tastebuds. :) I find that so long as you don't cook something this decadent everyday, it's alright to deviate from the balanced diet once in a while. ;)

I'll post up a recipe for this soon!

Terry's | Omakase

I thought these entries had uploaded but turns out I pressed "Save" instead of publish, leaving them to rot in my Drafts box---forgiveness, my dear readers, and thank you, thank you, thank you for reading! 

On to the entry: Ate Ria, Presley's Tita Ninang came home from Vietnam a couple of weeks ago and to celebrate, we ate out--first, we headed to Terry's in Makati and later in the week, had dinner at Omakase. 

1.) Terry's, Makati. This place was beautiful--both as a restaurant and as a sort of grocery where you can buy fresh ingredients. I loved all of the dishes we tried--whether sweet or savory, the people at Terry's do their work very, very well. 

Here are a couple of snapshots from that lovely afternoon:

2.) Omakase, Alabang. The night Ate Ri left, we had dinner at Omakase with the whole family (plus Keavin). Omakase is a family staple for us--birthday? Ate Ri coming home? Special event? They serve the best Japanese cuisine, in my book. Plus, they do the best fusion/exotic maki in the world; the spider & golden blossom maki dishes are absolute perfection!

I'll definitely be uploading more this week, as things have winded down a lot here at home. :) More on our Holy Week & other food adventures soon!

Much love,

Audrey
