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.

So Good, So Sweet: Goodies 'n Sweets Review

I was reading a book called Guide to Restaurants in Manila when I read that one of the featured Chef – Aileen Anastacio owns this bakeshop-cafe. It made me excited so visit this store. I wonder how a Chef designs and formulate her own recipe. Ofcourse a part of it is my high expectation.

It was already past 8 PM when me and Inggo arrived. My original plan is just to have plain dessert and coffee. But since we haven’t had our dinner we decided to order something aside from cake. Luckily, they also offer Rice Meals, Pasta and Sandwiches.

Our Order:

Pasta Mozzarella (230 pesos) – Spaghettini with tomato cream sauce with basil and olives topped with cubed mozzarella cheese. The sauce was very flavorful and delicious. The mozzarella in cube form was chewy and blended well with the pasta. I was expecting more from the dessert. But I can t help but to say nothing but the best about this pasta. No doubt that this is one of the best pasta I’ve tasted.  Worth it for it's price

Pasta Mozzarella

my verdict: Terrific! Superb! 5/5

I ended texting our friends saying that we should set a date to have a taste of this pasta. 

For our second round of pasta (yes we ordered another one), we asked the manager for their best seller. She recommended Tuna & Capers and Pesto Pasta. We didn’t try any of those. Instead we go for what we think is good.

Crab Aligue (235 pesos) – true to our instinct the pasta is also good. You will surely taste the aligue on every inch of the pasta. Ops I don’t recommended this for people with hypertension please be careful. =) The pasta was rich in flavor and saucy. Technically it is a bit salty due to the main ingredient. I noticed that the serving is quite bigger compared to our 1^st order. 4/5

Crab Aligue

Now, let’s go to the main event. Dessert.

Carrot Cake (135 pesos/slice) – I don’t eat carrot cake that much but I love this cake from the 1^st till the last bite.  The outer cover is a combination of sweet and salty cream. So Yummy! The cake is infused with walnuts and you will see tiny shredded carrots on it. So perfect! 5/5

Carrot Cake

Toblerone Mousse – this is heaven! It was made from layers of white and thin layers of chocolate mousse. 4/5

Toblerone Mousse 

Turtle Pie (135 Pesos)– I am not fan of chocolate cakes or brownies. But to me this is one is very likable. It has the right amount of sweetness 3/5

Wait there’s more. They also sell salad dressings, cookies and lengua de gato good for pasalubong.

 Goodies 'n Sweets Menu:

Obviously I was impressed by their pastas and cakes. I would definitely invite friends to visit Goodies 'n Sweets. On my next visit I would definitely try their Tuna & Capers pasta and Tiramisu plus another order of carrot cake.

It’s Tea Time: Bubble Tea Review

Disclaimer: This is my compilation my Bubble tea visit. Chill Time, Meeting, chitchat and tambay mode

I was just introduced to Bubble Tea last April when (remember my previous entry? :)) me and my friends ate at Sugarleaf. I am not that much of a Milk Tea addict. Not until I tried this one.

Their stores are cute. The ceilings are patterned from round shapes which represent their bubbles.

You can choose from couch or typical chairs and tables. You can also have it the Japanese way by sitting on the floor – most of the time students are seated here.

They don’t have a wide variety of Milk Tea selection. But they also offer milk shakes and other fruity drinks. 

Got a chance of visiting their Wilson Branch about four times and once on Morato branch, these are my orders with my personal rating:

Royal Milk Tea – 5/5 their best seller

Also my personal favourite

 Japanese Green Milk Tea – 5/5

Typical taste of Green tea, just like Starbucks’ Green Tea frappe. But I liked it though :)

Taro Milk Tea – 4/5

It was good. I got this from their promo (10 Stamps = 1 Large Mile Tea for Free)

Last: Almond Milk Tea - 3/5. Not really my favorite.

  

Aside from Milk Tea they also serve Japanese food and pastries. Though a bit pricey their serving is huge. Example their Vancouver Roll for 285 pesos is good for 3-4 persons.

I like the Okonomiyaki Pizza. Sweet and Salty. Comes with veggie mix on the side

Rice meals are also available. I ordered the Osaka BBQ Ribs with Rice. My order was very fatty.

The Japanese Caesar was good. The fruits and veggies are fresh.

My colleagues order:

Grilled Chicken Curry (225 Php) – typical chicken curry

Yakiniku Beef Rice (245 Php)  – I liked this more than my Osaka BBQ ribs. The beef was nicely flavored.

Chicken Teriyaki Doria (245 Php) – looks like chicken ala King for me.  

Going back to their Milk Team, though they have limited flavors they still offer best Milk Tea’s specially the Royal Milk Tea. The serving looks a bit ‘bitin’ but actually one large order can you feel full. 

This place is best for chill time. Can be alternative for Coffee shops.
