Yabu Best Seller: Birthday Dinner for My Teen

What is Yabu Best Seller? Everything, I guess. Overall experience. This is our to go to place for all kinds of celebration. Birthday, graduation, birthday, lunch with friends, birthday. And we do have a lot of birthdays in our family. 5 kids hello, plus the grandma and occasionally siblings’ birthdays. I hope they are not reading my blog. Baka magpalibre lagi sa Yabu!

Yabu Best Seller: Birthday Dinner for My Teen

What do we usually order? Siguro for us, Yabu best seller will always include the mozarella sticks, chicken katsu, shrimp katsu and pork katsu with a little fat trimmings.

These are what we ordered for Mahat’s birthday dinner:

  • Mozarella Katsu Sticks
  • Rosu Set (pork with fat) 180 g
  • Prawn Katsu set P495
  • Chicken Katsu set 180 g
  • Refillable sets
  • watermelon shake
  • Lava cake

I can’t remember how much our bill was or what are the quantities of each of our order. But we spend more than usual because of the shakes. Sabi ko kase wag na umorder ng drinks eh pero since birthday, sige na pagbigyan na.

If it will be your first time to try Yabu at may kids kayo, dont order kiddie meals, order na lang kayo ng refillable set for the kids then order the biggest gram. The first time we eat at Yabu, maling mali ang ginawa namin. That was like 5 years ago, yung bill namin nung unang beses kame kumain sa Yabu, mas mahal pa din sa bill namin ngayon. Hello may inflation pa ha. Eh kase naman back then, we ordered 1 meal per bigger kids tapos may kiddie meal pa per smaller kid. I forgot to mention pala na we are plus 2 mouths na and bigger stomach pero mas mura pa din bill namin.

How do we do it? We order refillable sets for smaller kids and for sharing na lang ang mga katsu. Although lately hindi na kasya yun. Hell teenagers!

So anyways, if you are a big family and have kids, order Yabu Best Seller in biggest grams. Refillable sets for younger kids, it already includes rice, soup, cabbage, and fruits that can be refilled.

 

5 Things to Love About The New Shopwise Alabang

Shopwise Alabang recently launched its new look and I was there to witness it! Ang daming naka promo for Shopwise 20th Anniversary but let’s not talk about the promo and discounts kase nasa VLOG ko na yun. Watch my VLOG!



Let’s talk about the new look of Shopwise Alabang. I am impressed… really impressed, comparing this to other Shopwise branches, ang laki talaga ng pagbabago.

Here are the 5 things to love about the new Shopwise Alabang:

The new Shopwise Alabang is well lit. Pwede na mag selfie everywhere. Kidding aside, I really love the lighting of the new Shopwise Alabang. It brightens up the mood and makes my shopping experience happy. Alam mo yung feeling na pagpasok mo ng grocery magaan yung pakiramdam mo, that’s how I felt when I went inside Shopwise Alabang.

The new Shopwise Alabang aisle is really big. Two carts can fit in at the same time. No traffic considering na ang dami namimili sa Shopwise.

The new Shopwise is well organized. I love the fact that there’s a specific area for each needs. Gaya ng mga household needs na hindi consumable, plates and the likes, they are placed on one side, adjacent to the appliances. May flow and I really like it. Veggies and fruits comes together and then a few steps away from that area is the seafood and meat section naman. For a mom who live big and is always on the go, it really helps talaga pag well organized ang pupuntahan mo na grocery and that it is a one stop shop. All you need for your house, you can find in Shopwise.

Dinning area is big. Shopwise is truly the place where moms can go as this is a one-stop-shop for all your household needs! There is even a dining area and it’s big and with many food options. Good place to hang out sa mga tweens and teens while mom is doing the grocery.

Superb Shopwise experience. This is what I love most about the new Shopwise Alabang, that even though nag renovate sila, the feeling of getting most out of your money, of being a wise shopper is still there kase yung mga promos and good deals are still displayed at the center na mas madali makita.

Even after renovation, and its interiors looking classier and more modern than before, Shopwise stays true to their commitment to give an enhanced shopping experience for their shoppers in addition to their best deals and offerings.

Check out the new Shopwise Alabang to see and expereince this for yourself. Don’t forget to download your WiseApp before shopping.

Shopwise Alabang is located at Left Wing, Festival Supermall, Filinvest, Alabang. For promos, discounts and hot items, like and follow Shopwise Facebook Page.

5 Reasons Why US Potatoes Is The Best Breakfast For Kids

I have 5 kids and 4 are already attending school, 2 must be ready by 5 AM while the older 2 must start getting ready by 6 AM. The youngest, I pray everyday that he won’t wake up until 7 AM. It’s a daily challenge but mostly it’s a win. I have with me a support system that makes everything seems easy. For one, my husband is trying to be the one to pacify Marius when he wakes up earlier than 7 AM. Husband usually sleeps at 2, I can’t thank him enough for doing that extra job. My mother on the other hand, help me with what the kids need.

Breakfast is one thing that I always try to be the one to prepare. It’s my way of saying or showing to them that even with the new baby, I still have time to take care of them. I make sure that they always eat a complete breakfast. One that is loaded with carbohydrates, protein, and fiber from fruits.

We try to alternate it with bread and Potatoes and I know you are going to ask why! So here’s 5 reasons why we include US Potatoes in my kids’ breakfast:

It is easy to prepare and versatile. From fried to bake to even making it in a soup. Potatoes can be served as snacks, breakfast in our case, or even as a main dish. Here’s a sample of a US Potato used as main dish:

That’s Seafood Potato Stew and the recipe you can find here: Seafood Potato Stew Recipe. US Potatoes is also good for baon. Last year, I made a one week baon menu using US Potatoes.

US Potatoes is delicious and my kids really love the taste no matter the recipe is. Of course our favorite will always be fried (specially the criss cross one) but we’re also inclined to choose US Potatoes Croquette.

US potatoes provides the energy, carbohydrates and potassium kids need to power performance throughout the school day. And that is the reason why this mom is all about potatoes. Being in the school for more almost 10 hours can be really tiring. I make sure that they have the energy they need by serving me the right food in the morning. US Potatoes is an ideal part of their breakfast because of the energy and potassium it provides. It’s also good for me since I am breastfeeding. Potatoes’ a good source of Potassium.

US Potatoes is available in leading supermarkets. Hindi sya mahirap hanapin and I can always get a bag of potatoes when we do our grocery, whatever supermarket it is.

It is relatively cheap specially the frozen. US potatoes affordability and versatility makes it the perfect breakfast for my kids. Hindi compromised and budget at health ng kids.

Potatoes USA, an organization that has thankfully brought US frozen, recently visited the culinary club of The Raya School in Fairview, Quezon City to demonstrate the potato’s versatility. Two potato dishes that was prepared were Broccoli Cheddar Potato Puffs and Chocolate Mashed Potato Truffles.
