Off to Cebu Again

Last Tuesday, we went to Cebu again to have my father's heart checked. My brother, Jonathan, was there ahead of us as he was already doing his share of job hunting. Upon arriving there, we met up at a pension house that I ended up hating. I kept repeating that I'm never going back there ever again. It was noisy and so uncomfortable.

Anyhoo, enough rant. Let's go to the good stuff. Our schedule was early the next day so while we were waiting,  we went malling and had dinner at Sunburst. They're known for their fried chicken and my parents claimed it to be the best. So when the opportunity arrived, I went for a go and grabbed it. We ordered molo soup, chicken drumsticks, their version of chopsuey and their lumpia shanghai. I must say, I loved the chicken...not too salty and the skin is thin and not starchy.The Molo soup was good. The lumpia is so-so but the chopsuey is not good. It was something [I thought to myself] that I could figure out cooking at home.

We went home after and prepared for the check up the next day. To make the story short, the check up went fine and the test results were okay. My father still has a healthy heart. After the check up, we went to another mall this time and had lunch there. Sorry, no photos. I was too hungry. Anyhoo, we just had it at the Food Court. But my visit to Cebu is never complete without paying a visit to Leona Cakes and Pastries. I bought my favorite Choco Chip bread and a slice of Mocha-Choco Mousse to take home. 

this one tasted good... :) soft, creamy and not to sweet.

I also got to use my Green Bag Lady bag there. :D

Last Hurrah for March

Okay... so March is almost over but Summer fun has just begun.

Yesterday, we went to Cebu City for the main purpose of having my father checked up by a doctor there. And so we did, so early in the morning for the lab tests. The doctor's check up was scheduled the next day[which was today] so after the lab

tests, we took time to find ourselves a resting place. We walked around a few blocks only to end up at the pension house right in front of the laboratory we first arrived into. After that though, we did go out to have some lunch and to just roam around the at Ayala for 'exercise'[haha]. I didn't get to photograph much of the foods we ate. I was just too hungry or too tired to do them.

Today, I tried my best to get some photographs. I still didn't take a shot of a meal though. I always forgot. My favorite part of the trip was the visit to Leona Cakes and Pastries at SM Northwing. I don't know but eversince I've gone there, my feet always tend to walk to the 'cafe's' direction. My parents and I had a few bites there. The doctor's check up went well and we are supposed to start a new diet as soon as possible that's why consider this day our last day to indulge. I don't know if this is my last day though. I don't think so. However, I'm thinking of joining them in their diet change because the doctor said strokes are hereditary and being the 'obese' person that I am now makes me so prone to it.

Now here are the little photos that I took of my little indulgences. Most of the shots I took were photos of my parents but I don't intend to include them in this post so here we go...

A photo of the the print on the table napkin at Leona's.

I think this is called Chocolate Swirl.

[It tastes like a chocolate flavored bread with some chocolate chips mixed with it. I loved this one.]

This one is the Chocolate Mamon.

[It's from my mom but I ate most of it. haha It was soft and chocolatey. Not very special but good enough.]

Have a look at some goodies my mom got for me.

Most of them are from Caro & Marie(a baking supply store at SM).

And here's what we had for supper at the boat.

It's called Eden Green Salad from SM Supermarket.

You get to pick what your veggies and dressing to put in your salad, they weigh your choices and you pay them. :D

A lot of things are brewing up in my head and I'm so excited to bring them to life.
