Green Tree Apple Chips

There’s a saying that An Apple a Day keeps the doctor away.   This is definitely true. Apples are low in calories, it does not contain saturated fats or cholesterol and very rich in fiber. No wonder this is on top list of people on diet.

Saw this Apple chips from supermarket. 

Green Tree Apple Chips

I bought one out of curiosity. At the back label the apple nutrients are presented by Green Tree.

I really don’t know how the apples will look like inside this bag. Does this look like banana chips? Are they crunchy? Does it really taste like fresh apples as claimed by its manufacturer? Let’s see.

It really tastes like apple, the sourness was definitely there. The chips are not crunchy though, they are soft but a bit rubbery for me.  

The 43 Pesos worth of chips is equivalent to two small apples. Definitely, I will still go for the fresh one. Still, this is far healthier than those junk foods available in the supermarket.

Other Happy Lemon Drinks

If you are not fan of Happy Lemon’s Green Tea or Cocoa with Rock Salt and Cheese you might want to try their Lemon Series and Mousse Spins. 

Lemon Peppermint with Nata de Coco

Lemon Peppermint with Nata de Coco – I love this drink because it’s so refreshing. The drink comes with slices of lemons that give the kick to the drink. Their nata de coco comes in very tiny cube form they won’t clog on your straw. This is my substitute for milk tea if I already have the ample dosage of tea for the day. Don't worry because this drink does not have any weird taste :)

Lemon Yogurt with Aloe

Lemon Yogurt with Aloe – just like Lemon Peppermint this drink also has slices of lemons. I love the tiny aloe bits! It’s so crunchy that you will definitely chew it first before taking another sip. Lemon Yogurt has thick texture and has a similar taste to Lemon Yakult.

Lemon Yakult

Lemon Yakult –this has a similar taste to Lemon Yogurt (without the aloe bits). The only difference is that Lemon Yakult has thicker texture than that of Lemon Yakult.

Have a great day with Lemon boy! 

Terry's Review

Viva España!

Our director wanted our team to have dinner somewhere not within our office vicinity but we had difficulty on choosing setting when. This was the only time that our team was complete, a perfect time for our ‘group date’.

This restaurant is not exposed to shoppers of Podium because it’s found at the basement area. For me this place looks so intimidating. Most of its customers are those over 40’s and most of them are just having some good time (more on amigos and amigas meet up)

Aside from their paella and other gourmet dishes Terry’s also has a wide range of wine selection to choose from.  Some Spanish ingredients are also available.

Here's a glimpse of some of our orders:

We started with some greens on our table

Green Garden Treats

Fresh greens, tomatoes, cucumber, chickpeas, corn kernels, hard-boiled egg and nuts tossed with their unique sherry balsamic vinaigrette and sprinkled with Reggiano shavings. Their salad is a good starter. The veggies were fresh. 325 Php for Large serving.

Tha Pumpkin soup was ok for me. Though I find it a bit pricey for its serving size.

Paella is definitely the 1^st thing that would pop your mind when talking about Spanish dining. Paella is rice cooked in a paellara which is a round flat pan using different spices and ingredients which gives the rice its distinct taste. It is commonly cooked with seafood particularly shellfish but can also be replaced by chicken.

We ordered large Super-Paella Parellada and Chistorrado for sharing.

Super-Paella Parellada

Super-Paella Parellada - paella topped with Shrimp and Chorizo. 740 Php 

Chistorrado

Chistorra (a type of sausage) from Spain and rice are cooked in a luscious sauce of roasted red capsicum (bell pepper), Piquillo peppers and melted cheese. 740 Php

Both paellas were good. This is my first time to dine in an authentic Spanish restaurant but their paella is really remarkable for me. The rice was cooked evenly and the other ingredients didn’t over power the rice.  If I would pick my personal choice it would be the Super Paella. For the only reason that I’m not a big cheese fan.

My personal order is the Sea Bass Medallion - Pan-seared sea bass served with a side of confit potatoes lightly tossed in a warm, fresh herb alioli

I know that we are going to have loads of paella that night so I ordered something without rice. The Sea Bass was lightly flavored and taste good also. 375 Php

Sea Bass Medallion

Apple Juice

I also tried their apple juice for 40 php. This is not recommended for people with hyper acidity because its too sour.

Some of my colleagues order

Chuletillas de Cordero

Chuletillas de Cordero - Baby lamb cutlets accompanied by Piquillo peppers, stuffed with a refined concoction of Asturian smoked black sausage bathed with a distinctive Ribera del Duero red wine reduction. Two thumbs up for the lamb itself. 595 Php

The white wine that we ordered was also good. I forgot the name though.

Overall I will say that my 1^st Terry’s experience was good. And definitely will invite my close friends to dine here. Definitely for special occasions only. Their menu may be pricey but the quality of food served speaks for itself.

Fundae Froyo

Craving for FroYo (Frozen Yogurt)? I just discovered that 7 11 offers Fundae Froyo their own version of Frozen Yogurt. Yes, you can enjoy FroYo from 7 11 branches with the very affordable price of 35 Pesos! 
I was looking for something to buy from 711 when this add

Well, its really worth the try. In terms of quality and taste Fundae Froyo is at par from the regular Frozen Yogurt available in Philippine market. With it's budget friendly price and good taste this is definitely a must try! :)

Will you stop? Wing Stop Review

We decided to try Wing Stop’s buffalo wings plus some other more for our dinner. The store is dressed in red (with black) from furniture to their logo back ground.

In fairness our nachos is ready on less than 10 minutes.

Nachos – topped with fresh tomatoes, cabbage, onions and cheddar cheese. The nachos itself has cheese powder on it. Imagine Mr. Chips.

Cheese Sticks – cheddar cheese wrapped in lumpia wrapper.  

Mashed Potato – Anne’s personal favorite.  She found it weird in taste. For me I think the gravy was not good. It seemed burnt thus produced smoky taste.       

Wings in a Bucket 10 Pcs - Enough for the appetizer. Now, it’s time to try their version of Buffalo wings.  The chicken lacks flavor.   I think it could have been better if the sauce is much thicker so the chicken can absorb it more. The good thing is that the selection of chicken part was good just enough to fill our stomach for our dinner.

In terms of the price Wing Stop offer budget friendly price.

Dining Redefined: Zong Review

Zong offers different Asian cuisine. They offer mix of Chinese, Singaporean, Malaysian, Hong Kong and Filipino dishes. Most of our orders were from Zong’s favorite menu.

The store has a calm ambiance. Simple yet stylish

I just want to commend their fast service. The waiter was very accommodating and gladly assists us with our questions. We waited for less than 10 minutes for our order. 5/5 for their service! Specially for hungry people like us =)

Caramelized Pork Loin – the pork itself was very flavorful. It blended well with the sauce. Ops the pork is definitely not crunchy since it is served with sauce.

Caramelized Pork Loin 348 Php

We got positive feedback from Zong Favorite’s Chicken in Salted Egg Yolk. Imagine fried chicken coated with salted egg yolk. Sounds salty, but it’s not. Two thumbs up for this one.  Crunchy and tasty to the last bone. This is my most recommended amongst our order.

Chicken in Salted Egg Yolk 438 Php

Steamed Fish Fillet with Soy Sauce – this is our last order. Filleted Dory with shitake mushrooms and steamed broccoli in soy sauce. The fish was fresh. The sauce has the right amount of saltiness which adds flavor to the fish. I also love the shitake mushrooms.

Steamed Fish Fillet with Soy Sauce 438 Php

Zong Menu:

Overall, my first Zong experience was very nice. The food was great plus as mentioned earlier the good service. Though, their menu is a bit pricey even for 2-3 persons. Given this I still recommend Zong for a good dining experience.
