I and fellow Davao Bloggers were glad to meet the Bloggers from the City of Friendship… We had lunch at Ranchero’s Grill before leaving for the GenSan Leg of the Mindanao Food Appreciation Tour / Soccsksargen Summer Safari (MFAT). Ranchero’s served a delectable meal for all of us. Below are the photos of the mouth watering foods we have tasted (tingin pa lang nakaka-gutom na noh? hehehe).

After our lunch at Ranchero’s The Davao and Cagayan de Oro Bloggers were ready to travel to GenSan and we headed off to the Bus Terminal afterwards. After two years I am excited to be back in GenSan again and of course I’m excited to meet the Manansala Brothers and other GenSan Bloggers. I was asleep most of the time during the trip. We arrived at GenSan after a three hours and we were fetch by Orman at the Bus Terminal and then we headed to Ice Castle Experience, where we were welcomed by the Owner, Mr. Rey L. Billena. Ice Castle was our official home (Cagayan de Oro and Davao Bloggers) during our 3 day stay at GenSan. Thank you so much Mr. Rey Billena for the warm welcome and the wonderful accommodation you’ve given us.

We went to our designated rooms and freshen up a bit. The room was cozy and neat, by the way, Ice Castle is not yet open for public but it’s rooms are already done and functional. It is 90% complete and will be open for public in the next few months.

We then proceeded to Pacman’s Sports Bar for apertif drinks. We were given drinks of our choice, and served us with garlic and butter chicken, beef sisig which is really yummy, large cheese sticks na binalik-balikan ko talaga, hehehe… We really enjoyed our short stay at Pacman’s Sports Bar, we were able to play pool with the other bloggers and bond with them for a while.

Our next stop is at Le Jardin Arnevel’s but before reaching the place, our service was invaded by two bats, check out this video entitled “aBATar - The Last Air-Brendel“.

Le Jardin Arnevel’s owner, Tita Nitz served us local dishes like lechong baboy, kinilaw, sinugbang tuna panga, crabs, vegies and other delicious Pinoy dishes. Thank You Tita Nitz for the dinner Buffet…

Our last stop was at Piyesta KTV and Resto Bar located at Robinson’s where we were gathered for the Grand Eyeball: Meet the Soccsksargen Bloggers. A Blogger and Owner of Piyesta, Donna Mae Congson was there to welcome us and served us drinks, the Jell-O Shots, Gayuma and Rhum Iced Tea. Tuna Buntot, Kura Sticks, Cheese Sticks, Sizzling Ubol-ubol and Tuna Cheese Roll, it’s yummmmy! Lechon was also served courtesy of Mayor Jun Acharon, Thank You po, binalat-balatan ko lang naman ang lechon, tahimik sa isang tabi at pa-simpleng binalatan ang lechon, hehehe… I’m glad I was able to meet Rosilee again at Piyesta, our last meet-up was during the Mindanao Blogger’s Summit 2, two years ago…

We were supposed to go to Coffee Club 101 which is just near Piyesta but we were so tired and sleepy already, so we went back to Ice Castle where I slept like a baby, kahit maingay daw ang roommate kong si Ria, di pa rin daw ako nagigising, hehehe…

Here’s the Homemade Bunwich that I made last week… Just put a ham, lettuce and mayo on the bun and it’s done, hehehe… Just thought of sharing it here, it’s been a while since my last post…

I’ve been really craving for Ramen since last week. I’ve been watching Naruto and I envy him everytime I see an episode of him eating Ramen (hahaha) that’s why I wanted to try it too. But my friends are busy so I went to NCCC Mall alone and went to Rai Rai Ken. My family and I have tried the foods at Rai Rai Ken but in MOA and I haven’t tried their Ramen yet. Actually I can’t remember what are the names of the food that I ordered there, lol.

So, I sit there alone, huhu (wawa naman) then I ordered Tantanmen (Spicy) and I tried their Gyoza. The Tantanmen was really YUMMEH!!! As in!!! Hahaha… Overreacting? Nah… It really taste good, I promise… It was just too hot/spicy for me but still I ate it and I would really love to go back and eat Tantanmen again! hahaha… The big bowl of Tantanmen is too much for my appetite though, I think it could be good for two, lol. The Gyoza was okay but not that appealing to my taste buds, hehehe… I hope I can go back again there and eat Tantanmen again…

My sister and I made this “Cheesy Bacon Mushroom Roll” (I just made this up, hehehe)…

Ingredients are:

Bacon, Mushroom and Cheese.

We just sliced the cheese and mushroom to fit inside the bacon and roll it up, then we put a stick so it won’t break… As simple as that and you now have a “Cheesy Bacon Mushroom Roll”

Migrated my first food blog post from my i.ph here…. I forgot I made a food blog last month and forgot to update it. hahaha… Anyways, this was my first post there… Hope I can continue to post more entries here soon…

I really like Wonton Noodles specifically because it has wonton and I just love it as much as I love siomai. So, that’s why I chose this as my first ever post here on my nth blog! My bestfriend Rhon and I dine at Mandarin in Duterte street when I took this photo.I hope I can post more foods here soon…

Wonton noodle or wantan mee is a Cantonese noodle dish which is popular in Hong Kong, Malaysia, and Singapore. The dish is usually served in hot soup, garnished with leafy vegetables, and wonton. The types of leafy vegetables used are usually kailanChinese kale. Another type of dumpling known as shui jiao is sometimes served in place of wonton. It contains prawns, chicken or pork, spring onions with some chefs adding mushroom and black fungus. [Source]

Pancake for my first post…. Nothing special with this pancake, lol… My sister is the one who took this photo in her phone and share it here. Today, I am welcoming myself to my all new Food Trip Blog. Yiippeeee!!! Will post more in the coming days, just stay tuned..

The Magtataho (called to someone selling Taho)…

What is a Taho? Well, according to Wikipedia: Tahô is a Philippine snack food made of fresh soft/silken tofu, arnibal (brown sugar and vanilla syrup), and pearl sago (similar to pearl tapioca).

I love Taho. I remember when I was still a kid, I would ask my lola or lolo to give me ‘piso’ (one peso) to buy a taho. Whenever I hear the man shouting TAHOOOOO! I would run outside with my mug… lol… It’s been a long time since the last time I have eaten taho… A week ago I hurriedly ran outside when I heard a man shouting, I thought I heard him shouting taho but I think I heard him wrong, it was someone who’s selling fishes and tahong (lol)… Anyways, I heard someone shouting taho last week and this time I heard the man right (lol). After that, he would come and sell taho in our village everyday. Suki na, hehehe…

My favorite mug with taho inside it… That’s a ten peso taho ha, konti lang nuh? Sabagay, laki din ng mug ko, hehehe… Before, My One Peso’s worth of taho is more than that. With pakapin pa, Lol.

The Mocha Float that we made with Chocolate Stick-O’s and Oreos on top… wehehehe…

The ingredients for this Mocha Float (actually I just made up it’s name, LOL) is just the same as the Mango Float except it doesn’t have any mangoes, instead we put coffee in it… =)

Mixed the Cream, condense and coffee together, put the Grahams, ilayer mo and put the mixed cream on it and yun! Mocha Float nah! wehehehe… it’s up to you what you want to add up on top… my sister put some chocolate kisses on top… wehehehe… ayun… =)

Mango Floats with lots of crunch Oreos on top… hehehe.. mmmmm… namnam… lolz..

There are a few kids caroling a while ago when the clock hits 12 and my mom had a little something to give for them this Christmas. We told them to come back on the 25th and a few did really come back… We we’re glad to see the smiles on their faces when we handed each one of them a present… May the spirit of Christmas continue to stay within our hearts even if it’s not Christmas time… God Bless everyone…
