and just when I am saying bubye to frappe.. (health reasons) I saw this:
nearer…
and a head turn…
Starbucks at Libis! and it has drive thru!
nyak! kumusta naman ang kidney ko neto…
This newest Starbuks drive thru is located at E. Rodriguez Jr Avenue, after Shopwise (not sure) but it’s beside Shell just before Calle Industria.
I guess this will be the third Starbucks drive thru, Starbucks BGC being the first and Starbucks St Charbel Mindanao Avenue being the second.
There was a time in my childhood that I believed that mcdo was synonymous to fun..we would have Sundae + chicken nuggets + hours of play on the playplace.. endless tunnels… slide.. colorful balls.. play pretend! It was really fun growing up with Ronald!
In a way, I want my kids to have the same fun as I did when I was a kid.. and though we already have a small version of play area in our house, nothing beats going to Mcdo for a Sundae while enjoying the slide, the tunnels and more..
and good thing, there’s a newly opened McDonald’s near our place! Well, there was a Mcdo near us.. but that’s inside Ever Gotesco and it smells awful and looks awful too.. (I hope they will renovate it soon), the newly opened Mcdo is located just in front of our favorite supermarket (super 8).. and the ambiance is really cool.. homey and very relaxing and yes they do have a playplace! Hurray!
Last night, as promised to our third born, we had our dessert there..and the kids played as long as they want.. and while playing I heard this sweet conversation:
Kuya, Diko and Chico: wag ka matakot Sati..poproteksyunan ka namin
It happens that there was boy trying to bully Sati.. and her Kuyas come to the rescue! ang sweet lang.. muntik na ako maiiyak!
And while we were munching on McDonald’s Big n Tasty burger (which I did not like hehe).. we noticed how comfortable the chairs was and how relaxing it can be to have breakfast and sip coffe on that chair..hmm.. nice idea.. but Kuya needs to be at the school by 7 AM.. then we learned that it was open 24 hours.. hurray!
So it was set.. Mcdo breakfast at 6 AM (so that Kuya won’t be late for school)..
Pancakes, sausage, longanisa, coffee + hot choco.. yummm! and yes, the kids had their time at the playplace..
It was fun! Hurray for 24 hours Mcdo, Hurray for Mcdo PlayPlace!
Let’s do this every week Daddy 🙂
Oh by the way, this newly opened Mcdonald’s at Pasig (boundary Pasig- Cainta) also has a drive thru and birthday area.. hmm I can smell a McDonald’s birthday party soon!
When shopping for Chinese Delicacy pasalubong, people (specially Balikbayans) knows only one place, Eng Bee Tin Chinese Deli. And though I became familiar with the name only recently, I am quite sure that it was not the first time had an Eng Bee Tin products. Feeling ko kase noon lahat ng Chinese products pare parehas lang ang name (the kind of name that’s hard to pronounce) so I never bother checking… but our recent discovery of Mr. Ube and the small deli inside it, made me aware of the brand name. So that was the brand of the pastillas I love (next to my hometown’s very own pastillas).. and the Tikoy that I always buy and the hopia! and the tarts.. and the.. nyaks! Eng Bee Tin has always been part of my Chinese food tripping!
The first time we ate at Mr. Ube, their newest product was offered to us.. Custard Classic Hopia.. sounds exciting..so we bought a pack.. only to discover that a pack was not enough ( apck is at 48 PhP with 4 hopia inside). We went back after a few days.. and it was out of stock.. another day and again Eng Bee Tin’s Custard Classic Hopia was out of stock.. argh! So the next day, we were there earlier.. and there it was..sitting on the fridge, waiting for us.. we almost hoard!
Aside from Custard Hopia, there was also Custard Ube Hopia.. being an Ube fan, we also tried it.
Eng Bee Tin’s Custard Hopia will truly give you shiver every bite.. it’s leche flan and hopia in one! Same goes with Custard Ube Hopia.. it was like Ube halaya and hopia in one! Imagine 2 of the best Filipino desserts turned into a hopia (talks about marriage of two culture haha).. Eating Custard Classic Hopia and Custard Ube Hopia will make you feel like it’s fiesta everyday!
I’d go for Custard Ube anytime, Custard Classic was too creamy for me.. where as Custard Ube is on the sweet side.
We love this hopia so much that in a span of one week, we had two trips at Mr. Ube buying at least 5 packs each trip..
with my kids’ reaction to Mr. Ube and Eng Bee Tin’s products, I cannot help but think that Mr. Ube is our new Jollibee (if you know what I mean)
