La Vita è Bella

Having a partner who supports you in whatever crazy things you do is one of life's greatest blessings. Luckily, I have found mine, who, for the sake of blogging (aspirant here!), recommends must-try fast food, stalls and restaurant. He even is my photographer! In our everyday conversations, he frequently mentioned that he buys food from this certain stall in Tarlac named Mayummy. This stall offers stir fried rice, tokwa't baboy (my fave :) ) and many other options in an affordable price. As I've seen from the pics he sent me, the food is really mouth watering.  Last month, I've got the chance to try his favorite stir fried rice from Mayummy. We bought it from their stall in one of the food parks in Tarlac (I forgot the name). We ordered Tokwa't Baboy, Stir fried rice and Spicy chicken for only Php 300+. I like it how they cook the food in front of you. Left to right: Tokwa't Baboy, Stir Fried Rice and Spicy Chicken The food was served sizzling h...

Last month, I got to spend his birthday with him for the first time in x years that I've known him. It really was a special day for me (as if I was the celebrator) for it was a dream came true. I've always wanted to do this before but our schedules never met. Finally, it happened. I arrived from Taiwan around 6am at NAIA that day. Went home to quickly freshen up and to leave my baggage then traveled to Tarlac with no sleep at all since 7am of the day before. You know someone is special when you sacrifice sleep just to be with him. :) I attended the afternoon worship service first then had body massage and dinner afterwards. I've been a lover of Thai food ever since Pad Thai was introduced by a colleague. There was this stall in Mandaluyong, Sen Lek , that serves (the best) Pad Thai and still is the best for me. Too sad we transferred to Quezon City and never had the chance to buy from Sen Lek because it's too far. When he sent me pictures of a new restaurant nea...

We had dinner at  Aling Lucing Sisig last month. We were supposed to have light snack that time since we already had a buffet lunch. I can't exactly remember why we landed to Aling Lucing Sisig 😂 When we arrived, there are two stalls of Aling Lucing Sisig (same name but with different signage). We can't exactly decide which one to try because we don't know the difference of the two. We chose the one with green signage (if you are facing the two stalls, this one is on your right) because the waitress approached us 😆 We then asked her if the stalls are the same and she said no, the other one has just recently opened. Don't expect a lot from this stall (I call it stall because I don't know what should I call it). It is not air conditioned (only big fans were used to ventilate it), it is along the hi-way, if you prefer to use disposable utensils like me, well, these are not available here. For someone who is not used to eating at sidewalk stalls and the like, I d...

This post is so overdue. I've been very busy for the past few months, I never had time to add another post here. Travels, family gatherings, office matters and all.. time surely flies!! The first four months of the year are almost done! We barely notice it.  But I do hope time slows down a bit. The 24 hours in a day seem to pass by so quickly. Anyways, we visited Koko Buri last year November and haven't come back yet. It just so happen that we were around the area so we decided to give it a try. When we arrived (past lunch time) there are only few customers in the restaurant so we had the chance to choose a seat far from the main door. I think it is crowded in the evening since they serve beers and the like. We ordered two set meals with different flavors of chicken and grilled pork (I forgot to take a picture of their menu). As usual, we ordered too much food. Their set meal actually is good for 2 pax. We ended up bringing home our left overs and had it for din...
