White Castle

White Castle by jerellt abenoja

The boys couldn’t stop talking about a certain White Castle. I didn’t pay enough attention thinking that they were talking about a bar. I guess it made me think of that because of our version of White Castle – the one being endorsed by a sexy girl wearing a skimpy outfit while riding a white horse. Nyaha! I later on found out that…

SmashBurger

SmashBurger by jerellt abenoja

We grabbed a quick lunch at SmashBurger before our trip to the Apple Orchard. The boys kept on talking about it so I got a bit curious on what sets its burgers apart from the others. We arrived a few minutes before noon so the place was a little quiet. We were greeted by a cheerful server who shot a few jokes on us once in a while.…

Back-to-back Buffets: New China Buffet and Cici’s Pizza

Back-to-back Buffets: New China Buffet and Cici’s Pizza by jerellt abenoja

Though people tell me that it doesn’t look like I did, I actually gained almost 10 pounds after my three-month US assignment. I cook my food every day except on weekends when we usually go out to try different restaurants. There was one memorable weekend because we tried two restaurants with eat-all-you-can promos for two consecutive…

Dave’s Downtown

Dave’s Downtown by jerellt abenoja

Lloyd being the only one among us who have already been in Minnesota, knows almost every corner of downtown Minneapolis. And that includes the best places to eat. He promised to take us to Mykenna’s as he claims that they serve good sandwiches and the best onion rings. Being curious with Lloyd’s claims, I searched it online and found…

SG Trip Day 3 (Part 2): Merlion Park and Food Trips at Ion Orchard and Gluttons Bay by jerellt abenoja

The sun was still up and though we were tired after a trip to the Singapore Zoo, we went to the Orchard Road where shopping centers are everywhere. We first strolled around the Lucky Plaza to buy some souvenir shirts and spicy shrimp rolls. I know that…

Club Balai Isabel: Hits and Misses

Club Balai Isabel: Hits and Misses by jerellt abenoja

After a very filling lunch at Hawaiian Bar-B-Que, we went back to the road not knowing that it would literally be a roller coaster ride. According to the resort’s site, there are two ways to get to Club Balai Isabel. We chose the one via Tagaytay. When I saw the map, it was as if I was looking at a person’s digestive system, and the…

Je Tries To Cook: White Spaghetti

Je Tries To Cook: White Spaghetti by jerellt abenoja

I was never taught how to cook. I just managed to learn simply by observing my mom in the kitchen with a little reinforcement from spending my younger years watching Del Monte Kitchenomics. Another factor to my fascination with food is the fact that both my parents cook really well. Growing up with good food somehow conditioned my…

Je Tries To Cook: Ginataang Tilapia

Je Tries To Cook: Ginataang Tilapia by jerellt abenoja

If you ask me to choose between eating fish and vegetables, I’ll say the latter without batting an eyelash. If other parents have to force their kids to eat vegetables, that one was never a problem of my parents. It’s not that I don’t eat fish. I actually do, but let’s just say that my taste buds don’t get excited when fish is served…

My mom once again got lazy and asked me to cook Tuna Spaghetti. I know what you’re thinking. We had Tuna Spaghetti for dinner days after I tried cooking White Spaghetti. Sorry, pero galit kami sa spaghetti e! :pI’ve tried cooking spaghetti countless of times before, but it was my first time to use tuna instead of ground beef and…

Je Tries To Cook: Kare-kare

Je Tries To Cook: Kare-kare by jerellt abenoja

I have been absent in the kitchen for quite some time so I decided one weekend to unleash the kitchen diva in me once again. I told my mom (a.k.a KITCHEN QUEEN) if I could borrow her kingdom and cook something I’ve never tried before. I asked her if I could cook a common dish which could challenge my cooking prowess. Naks,…
