The Perfect Water Tumbler

Finding the perfect water tumbler for my school boys is really hard. I need one that is durable and leak-proof and one that holds enough water (well at least 500ml). With the many water tumblers that can be found in the market, I know you want to ask, why is it so hard for me?

At first, I was looking for a water tumbler with straw but later learned that this kind of tumbler easily breaks. Not the tumbler per se but the cap that covers the part with straw.. breaks apart easily. So with that I settled for a straw less tumbler and I found this:

It’s leak-proof and very durable.. the two big tumblers are for my grade schoolers while the smaller one is for my pre schooler (and we have another one in purple for the princess). The size of the tumblers are perfect for their water consumption. I also love the smaller tumbler, my third son wouldn’t have a hard time opening the cap since it fits perfectly on his hand.

But for family and travel use, this is our perfect water tumbler:

More water capacity and yes it has a straw.. what I like most about this water tumbler is the cap that covers the straw, it looks durable and easy to open. We can use this when we travel and the kids can drink from it while the car is moving. I can even use this when I am working (you know I need to consume a lot water and looking for ludwig single drum pedals at guitar center can take a lot of time).

It’s really great finding the perfect product for us! How about you? What’s your latest product or the product that you feel like specially made for you?

Dampa Sa Libis Dining Experience

Libis is one of our favorite place.. Starbucks drive thru, milk tea, our favorite restaurants and not to mention Shopwise…driving along C5, we would always pass by Dampa sa Libis. Having experienced Dampa in Macapagal, we’re kinda curious what Dampa sa Libis has to offer..not that much though because the facade was not very inviting. Finally, after some hesitations, we got to try Dampa sa Libis last weekend.

Dampa sa Libis is a bit different from the Dampa in Macapagal where you choose the restaurant first and you buy fresh ingredients at the wet market. Dampa sa Libis has a centralized payment system. When dining at Dampa Sa Libis, here’s what you need to do:

Shop for fresh seafood at the back. Fish, shrimp, crabs, you name it and the price are almost the same as it is in Farmer’s
Shop for marinated meat if you want. There’s a ref for marinated pork and chicken.
Shop for other ingredients such as vegetables and fruits.
Line up at the reception for cooking instructions and computation of your seafood, produce and meat. Cooking charge is not included yet
Pay at the cashier.
Get a table and wait for your order. And while waiting, order for rice, desserts and drinks.
Eat, enjoy then pay for your food.

Here are the cooking charge:

Our dining experience was really pleasant. We bought crabs, pusit, tanigue, lapu-lapu and liempo at the wet market. Here’s the wet market:

Our bill for the seafood and pork was 1000+ (not more than 1200) we proceeded to the reception where our cooking preference were noted: Chili crabs, grilled pusit, griled tanigue, sinigang sa miso lapu-lapu and grilled liempo. They say our orders would be ready in 30 minutes. While we were waiting for the food, I got the chance to look around.

There are two dining areas at Dampa sa Libis, one is air conditioned and the other one is not (obviously haha). Aside from the two kitchens that prepares the food, there’s another kitchen that offers short Chinese orders. Also, there’s a small tiangge in the area where you can buy toys and some clothes.

There’s hand washing area, comfort room and an area where you can order for drinks. There’s a two door ref where desserts are displayed:

We got two Blueberry Cream Cheese, 2 Fruit Salad and 2 Mango float. We also ordered 7 rice + 2 coke in can and 4 bottled water.. then the food arrives..

All the food were great.. the pork limepo was grilled just right and the taste was really good, it didn’t disappoint me. The grilled pusit, however, was not to my liking. I like my pusit well done.. but husband said he loved how the pusit was grilled.

The sinigang sa miso was OK too, not too sour but the miso taste was very distinct, never thought that Lapu-lapu can be used for sinigang sa miso. The grilled Tanigue turned out to be better than I expected. But the star of the show is none other than Chili Crabs!

Winner! The kids really really loved the spiciness + sweetness of the sauce.

The desserts we ordered were also good, considering how cheap it was (100+ for Blueberry, 60 for mango float and fruit salad if I am not mistaken).

Our bill was 1200+ which includes the cooking charge, the desserts, rice and drinks. Total bill is 2300+ not bad for a group of 7.. went home with a happy tummy and a lot of leftovers!
