skete milktea welcome rotonda

So happy to announce that Skete Milktea Laboratory has opened a new branch in Welcome Rotonda! In case you missed it, I already went to their main branch in Quiapo. Check our full experience here.

skete milktea welcome rotonda

One thing I loved about their shop is their interior. Aside from their logo, which is a corgi, I like the vibrant color and also the ambiance. Every corner is instagrammable and has beautiful sets of playlist.

skete milktea welcome rotonda

The branch here is a bit smaller compared to their main branch. Although the staff here are many compared to the Quiapo branch, I liked the service more at their main branch. The staff there are more approachable and accommodating.

Now, let’s start the PAR-TEA?

Unfortunately, the food served here were few compared to our first visit because according to their staff, some of the ingredients were out of stocks.

Did you know that their food and drinks here are affordable? Yes, you may check their menu here for your reference.

Ironpan Steakhouse: Affordable and delicious steaks in Manila

ironpan steakhouse

Never did I imagine that I will find an affordable steak here in Manila. If you’ve read my blog about Mixedstone Steak and Wings, I’ve said that it’s a fusion of Ironpan Steakhouse and Chicks and Fins.

ironpan steakhouse

Just this weekend, we were able to experience their mother branch, which is the Ironpan Steakhouse. They have 2 branches up to date, and we went to their main branch in Sampaloc, Manila.

They are located on the second floor of a building…

What I’ve noticed first upon entering the place was the space is quite small. It has 4-6 tables only. I guess it’s jam-packed here during weekdays especially on lunch and dinner time.

ironpan steakhouse
Menu

For only 135 php, you can enjoy a decent steak with rice, sides, and gravy. The gravy here is so good. It has a spicy-kick which I loved. Also, all sizzling dishes are serve in an iron pan. Cool!

ironpan steakhouse
You can choose to pour the gravy in your steak unlike in Mixedstone…

BEEF/STEAKS

PREMIUM

If you want to level up your steak experience, they also offer premium dishes such as the following:

ironpan steakhouse
Prime Rib Eye (199 php)

Love the tenderness of this one!

If you’re not a fan of steaks, they have other dishes too, such as pork, chicken, and vegetables.

PORK

The Sisig here is different from the Sisig we tried at Mixedstone. I liked their Sisig here more.

CHICKEN

Both of these were a hit! Must try especially the Chicken Franchezka! Their sauce are amazingly good!

VEGETABLES

And of course, after tasting this at Mixedstone, I can’t miss to eat this! The Sizzling Natong!

DESSERTS

Of course, we also tried their desserts! I really wanted to try their Rice Cake but according to their staff, it’s not available so we chose the Cheesecake Flan instead.

Cheesecake Flan (45 php)

One piece is good for sharing already. So order wisely. HEHE.

Our overnight experience at Residence Inn Tagaytay

residence inn tagaytay

Few weeks ago, we had an awesome weekend at Tagaytay. Although it was a short and quick vacation, we definitely had fun.

Klook.com

We spent our weekend at Residence Inn Tagaytay. We went here to attend an annual event that is the Dinner in the Dark.

In this post, we will share our overnight experience at Residence Inn.

WHERE TO BOOK? www.zoomanity.com.ph

residence inn tagaytay

CHECK IN TIME: 12:00 NN

CHECK OUT TIME: 11:00 AM

By the way, our room has an overlooking of Taal Volcano which is also known as View Deck Room.

  • residence inn tagaytay
  • residence inn tagaytay

You may opt to stay here or in their Main Room, which has no view. I guess, much better to stay in their View Deck Room to have a better stay experience.

Now, we will show you how the room looks inside. What’s inside of their View Deck Room?

  • residence inn tagaytay
  • residence inn tagaytay
  • residence inn tagaytay

The room is spacious. The name of our room is “Paradizoo”. It has 2 single beds, sofa beside the beds. It also has mini dining table that has a view. Beside the dining table is the mini refrigerator and a kettle. The TV is not in its latest model but it has cable. The aircon is working good, as well.

residence inn tagaytay
Roaming outside our room

The CR has a heater which is perfect because the weather in Tagaytay is unpredictable. It also has toiletries inside such as soaps, toothpaste, toothbrush, and tissue. It has a closet too which has extra mattress inside.

How about this view when you open the door every morning?

residence inn tagaytay

But the most favorite part of our stay is that you can enjoy your breakfast with an awesome view. Look!

  • residence inn tagaytay

I loved the view, indeed. Hoping that they will reconstruct the design of each room. You can tell that the structure and other facilities are outdated. But nonetheless, we had an amazing and relaxing stay! Hopefully we can stay here again, but longer stay! Hehe.

Gubat QC: A hidden restaurant in Metro Manila

gubat qc

Craving for Kusina Luntian dishes? Worry no more! They have a Quezon City version of it!

gubat qc

Note that we quite had a hard time going here, especially if you’re commuting. We took Grab to lessen the hassle. It is located in a narrow street.

If you see this sign, then you’re in the right path.

gubat qc

Despite the fact of its location, many people are still lining up and dining here. Why not? The food is really great, just like in Kusina Luntian. Here, they just added some extra dishes, such as pasta.

Attaching below the full list of their menu.

Menu

Here are the food we got when we went to Gubat QC. Happy tummy!!!

gubat qc
Lechon Kawali (180 php)
gubat qc
Piniritong Isda (175 php) with extra Burong Kanin (35 php)

Our favorite, extra Paco Salad!!! Swear, this is so good! Knowing me, really not a fan of vegetables, but this is an exception!

gubat qc
Paco Salad (90 php)

For the dessert, we had their Nilecheng Biko. But this isn’t the same in Kusina Luntian. It is just a typical leche flan.

Leche Flan (50 php)

For the drinks, we had Turmeric Iced Tea and Fresh Calamansi Juice. Both for 65 php each.

Feast!!!

McDonald’s Dreamy Delights

mcdonalds

Have you tried the newest holiday desserts of McDonald’s? Starting today, October 28, one of the leading fast food chain in the country launches their holiday desserts.

mcdonalds dreamy delights
Holiday desserts with price

Already tried three of these desserts, and here are our ranking:

RICH CHOCOLATE PIE

mcdonalds dreamy delights
Rich Chocolate Pie (39 php)

This one is our top 1! The oozing chocolate is not that sweet, I think the chocolate used here is dark chocolate. Just one concern, it’s kinda messy to eat because of the chocolate.

NOTE: Eat it while its hot!!!

COFFEE MCFLURRY WITH OREO

Coffee lovers, unite! This is our top 2 so far! You can really taste the coffee flavor and the oreo bits! Just a little bit sweeter than we expected.

mcdonalds dreamy delights
Coffee McFlurry with Oreo (49 php)

MILK TEA MCFLOAT WITH BROWN SUGAR PEARLS (WINTERMELON)

mcdonalds dreamy delights
Milk Tea McFloat with Brown Sugar Pearls (75 php)

Seriously not a fan of their milk tea series. The pearls are too hard to eat. The milk tea itself are too sweet also. Hope they will improve this though.

Which one would you like to try first? Head on to the nearest branch now and grab the McDonald’s holiday desserts!
