Quick Review: Nissin Pasta Express Creamy Carbonara

 

  

I am not a professional cook, but I love to eat which is why when Nissin had a new line called Pasta Express, I didn't hesitate to try it. A personal favorite is the Carbonara (there's the Filipino Style Spag)

Even it came out soggy after cooking (I followed the package directions), it taste real good for a quick carbonara fix (though I still love my parents version all the time) and for P 10.00++ a pack, who would not say no?

 

InstaPhoto: Cheesecake Original at S&R

I am back to regular programming with my blog so even if this is a late post, I would like to venture you out to one of the desserts I have tried at S&R just recently, their cheesecake.

Amongst their trays of dessert, this original cheesecake (priced at P 99) is not too sweet for a cheesecake, works well as a dessert after eating their Caesar Salad (priced at P 169).

Mich's Random Food Blogging Thoughts

My unehanced photo of the food I ate at Chili's.

I call myself a passionate writer, but definitely, I've always felt the need to learn a lot when it comes to food blogging.

I have started Lafang Adventures two years back, that time, I do not know how serious I would be when it comes to food blogging. All I know, I loved to eat -- therefore, I document it with my photos and tell my story of the places I go and visit.

My photos are taken with my Samsung GT-P7300, I bring it when I go out with the fam, above is the example of the photo I took, this one was from the lunch combo of Chili's. I used to think that I had great photos, until I saw other food blogs who take time to do photo editing, adding their own logo to the picture or even providing their watermark. It makes me think why am I not using my editing powers to enhance my picture? 

I will not promise anything spectacular, all I know, I want to improve, I want my "viewers" to continue appreciating the littlest things I do, even in food blogging. 

Pardon me for the ranting, I do hope you enjoy the things I feature, love you all! :)

Seafood Favorites at Bonchon

 

 

I went to my dad's office after work yesterday and boy was I looking forward to eat at Bonchon when my brother asked me he wanted to eat there. I was supposed to order my favorite Bulgogi Rice until I saw the poster of their seafood favorites: I tried the Crispy Shrimp Rice (P125 (solo) and P 145 (with regular iced tea))

 

Here's the Crispy Shrimp Rice (my order):

 

 

The lady manning the counter will ask you if you want it garlic or spicy. I chose to have it spicy and boy am I not disappointed, it is cooked like your favorite Bonchon chicken, spiced just right.

 

Now I am sure you would want to have a quick treat after all that food, I recommend the Bannoffee Pie Koyo from Bonchon (P 75), perfect way to end a good meal.

What I think of the Chili's Lunch Combo

I spent my holiday last February 25 with my family over food (and malling), our first stop was at Chili's located at Greenhills. The 4 of us (Mom, Kuya, Moi and my brother) had the lunch combo which was their promo until April 14, 2013.

The Menu:

The lunch combo consists of the choice of: soup or salad. I was torn under the main course choices so I ended up choosing what my palette would love: fire grilled chicken, bacon & ranch quesadilla with the soup of the day which is seafood chowder:

My Soup: Seafood Chowder

It was really tasty and my mind was saying: MORE! but this was just their lunch combo size I forgot, I am pleased that this was their soup of the day. 

My Main Course: Fire Grilled Chicken Bacon and Ranch Quesadilla.

My order was the downscale version of the full order of this and the fries really filled me up, it wasn't too greasy as what I have expected it to be. The quesadilla was a bit cheesy but I've managed to finish it so I think I can give it an 8. I remembered I used the sauce for my fries instead for my quesadilla.

My mom had her Chicken Club Tacos, my little brother had his big mouth burger bites while my older brother chose the smoked turkey sandwich, I don't have the photos of how they look like but on the part of my mom and my little brother, they loved it, but my older brother had it otherwise, he thinks it was not worth the P 350.

Drinks are of separate order, we had the bottomless iced tea (my extremely unhealthy habit)

Overall, I give my Chili's Lunch Combo dining experience a 9, it was worth paying 350++ for a good lunch and trimmed down calories too. I urge you to try those combos while they are still available.

Do pop me in on what you think after trying it.
