Foodie Faves: Dulcelin Gourmet

Home of the delicious mango torte, Dulcelin Gourmet has an extensive menu that will not only satisfy your sweet cravings but also your love for home-cooked meals.

We celebrated my sister's birthday last Thursday and everything we ordered was pretty good! And the great thing about this place? ...Is it's reasonable price -- making this restaurant a place worth going back to :)

Hickory Smoked Pork Ribs (P295)

We loved how tender this one is, and see that brown crisp on top of the rice? That's lechon skin :P Yuuuum!

"Dry rubbed, hickory smoked, grilled and smothered with our tangy barbecue sauce. Served with our unique lechon skin and garlic friend rice."

Chicken Relleno (Single - P250; To Share - P400)

Much liked the classic embutido, the chicken, chorizo, raisins and cheese stuffing was perfectly paired with Dulcelin's gravy and corn rice :)

"One of Dulcelin's bestsellers. Boneless chicken stuffed with pork, chorizo, etc."

Chocolate Decadent Cake (P120)

Bitter-sweet delight that ends up light to the mouth. It's not as heavy as I thought it would be, in short, the fluffy texture was just the right touch to an otherwise gluttonous treat :)

Mango Torte P140

Okay, I really don't have words for this but LOVE! I had my sister order another slice even before the first one was finished! Mango torte monster! The crust's nougat-ty and nutty texture balances the frozen mango which melts in your mouth with a little crunch :)

PS. We also had their Spicy Chorizo Pasta (red-sauced pasta in chili oil and ground chorizo, at P295) & their Pan Fried White Fish (marinated in buttermilk with porcini cream sauce, at P250) :)

We already dug in before I took photos, sorry! If you're not a fan of spicy food though, suggest you stay away from the chorizo pasta, but since I love spicy food, that was one of my favorites :)

There you have it! It was a good dining experience and I can't wait to try Dulcelin's other delicious dishes :)

So You Had a Bad Day

Last Friday, I caught myself getting irritated by the second as I get one bad update after the next at work - confirming either low performance for the month or delay in our campaign activities. I just wanted nothing more but to call it a day and go home... But since that wasn't an option, I just watched a movie (yup on my own :P) and stuffed my mouth with Taters potato chips (cheese flavor!) and Jamaican pattie (cheesy beef!) later that afternoon. Yup, that made me feel a little better after! We all go through this kind of day, and so soon after ringing in the new year with our hopes and goals too! Tsktsk! So as I dragged myself to take on the hours that day, I knew that I had to snap out of it and be wary, lest I find myself stuck in the limbo of the daily activities.

Japan: Lit Gardens & Shrines in Kyoto + Japan Travel Tips

On our 3rd day, we went to Kyoto! We bought a one-day Keihan railway pass since Kyoto is about an hour away from Osaka. There are different ways to get to Kyoto but the cheapest and fastest is by train. Taxis are very expensive in Japan! Buses and trains are just about the same price so you can plot your way to this famous spot either way. Fushimi Inari Shrine

Getting Beach-Ready with Wink!

Beach! That is what my mind seems to be saying these days, and on Friday we will be flying to a much-loved beach in Visayas (more about that soon). Finally! The sun and the seas! :D But before we don our swimwear and flip-flops, my friend and I made sure to get our skin beach-ready first. So just last Saturday, we went to Wink Laser & Wax Studio to get our waxing fix. We both have had experience in waxing, shaving and plucking so I think it was a great way to try what Wink has to offer differently in the market. Because we already have something to compare it with, we hope to bring something that will break it down into specifics, not just with the service but with the products and the ambiance as well. Hygiene is number 1 One thing worth remembering about Wink is its priority on cleanliness. Holly Chang, the young entrepreneur behind this budding business, is a self-proclaimed OC.
