Good day fellow noisers. It has been a while since I last posted. In fact, it has been awhile since I last logged in the site. Offline life got me busy. Anyway, one of the things that keeps me busy is doing laundry. A mundane task but highly satisfying. Laundry day is for me is Sunday or Monday since those are my rest days and even if I wake up early, the line is still long as you can see on the pic below. Got some training gis and bed sheets this time so I had to get two…
Good day fellow noisers! This is one of my go to meals when I want something filling and delicious. Filipino noisers are familiar with this. I have a one piece chicken, spaghetti, and a cheeseburger. This is from Jollibee, the most popular fast food brand here in the country. If you are a foreigner visiting the Philippines, make time to eat at least once in Jollibee, you won't regret it. Anthony Bourdain called the Jolly Spaghetti 'deranged yet strangely alluring”.…
Three different types of buchi for my snack. The two popular ones are the Chinese buchi with sesame seeds and the local one. The third one is made from sweet potato and the filling is actually muscovado sugar. The first two buchis that I mentioned have red mung beans as fillings. This is the first time that I tasted the sweet potato buchi and surprisingly, it is my favorite among the three. Have you tried buchi before? #Allenwrites #foodtrip #foodphotography #buchi…
Prison Ramen I have office colleagues who are foodies as well. Twice this week, we had what they called prison ramen. No idea why they called it that but it was delicious, filling, and affordable. So this is just the regular noodles cooked as usual but other ingredients like crispy pork rind, chicken sausage, hard boiled eggs, seaweed wraps, and sesame oil were added. There was also some spicy garlic paste that was added. You basically get a portion of the noodles and add…
Prison Ramen - Second Day This is the second time we had prison ramen here at work. Mentioned in a previous post about the prison ramen we had the first time. I liked it so much that I bankrolled this time out. Same thing. Base ingredient is the noodles and then we got items in the grocery. Noodles. Seaweed wrap. Chicken sausages. Ground beef. Eggs. Sesame oil. Hot sauce. Chili paste. Didn't know a hot mess like this can taste so good! Have you had prison ramen? What was the…
Bukayo Posted the other day about getting native snacks. My favorite of the three - Chinese buchi, buchi Tagalog, and bukayo - was bukayo. I liked it so much I got another order. Finished all six in one sitting. Bukayo is a Philippine sweet delicacy made from grated coconut fried in brown sugar. The main ingredients are gelatinous coconut, water, sugar or brown sugar. It is also called coconut caramel or coconut toffee. Have you tried this already fellow food trippers?…
Muay Thai I've been training muay thai for quite some time already. I stopped because of the pandemic. i started with boxing and then trained muay thai as well. Anyway, yesterday, during my rest day, I was able to do muay thai again. Found a gym near my place. It is the same gym where I started boxing - same brand name but different owners. The quality of training and coaches is consistent, something that I like with this specific gym. Did three rounds each of shadow boxing,…
Today is my rest day, the last of my three-day rest day. As always, it is errands day as well. While waiting for my laundry, I wrote this post and later on I'll be reading your posts and leaving comments and tips as well. Back then, I would read a book while waiting for my laundry. It is better to make the most of the time instead of mindlessly scrolling in social media. Do you agree fellow noisers? #Allenwrites #laundry #makethemostofyourtime
Done with my laundry. Already folded my clothes and placed these in my cabinet. Time for a late lunch now. I'm having chicken ramen noodle soup, hard boiled eggs, and steamed buns with meat filling. The eggs were left-overs from breakfast this morning. The ramen noodles and the steamed buns, I bought from the mall where I did my laundry. What is everyone having today? #foodtrip #foodphotography #chickenramennoodlesoup #ramen #steamedbuns #siopao #hardboiledeggs
An Unlikely Breakfast from Ilocos This is my unlikely breakfast for today. After my cup of oatmeal, I'm having some left over viands from last night - dinakdakan and pinakbet - plus two hard boiled eggs. Eggs have been a staple food for me when I'm trying to cut weight. It is easy to prepare and provides protein. Dinakdakan is actually an appetizer but it has become a main dish among Filipinos. It originated from Ilocos. It is usually made of boiled and grilled pig parts…
Good day fellow food trippers. Hope everyone is having a great weekend. Yesterday, we had a get together at the office with my team. One of them celebrated his birthday this June and the other one was graduating from college. We had pizza, chicken wings, and drinks. I also got cakes - a chocolate cake for the college graduate, a mocha cake for the birthday boy, an brazo de mercedes for everyone else. It was a good time! One's accomplishment is everyone's accomplishment and…
Good day fellow food trippers. Today, we had a get together at work. There was a townhall meeting and everyone in the management team was on site. Staff were also encouraged to go onsite. Of course. when people have a get together like this, food is always available. People bought food. Some cooked as well. I got a strawberry shortcake for everyone. People alos bought different times of pasta and fried noodles. Someone cooked dimsum. Another cooked chicken wings. A team…
Spicy Squid and Lemak Rice Good morning food trippers. Today is my rest day but I had a very early interview at 4:00am. The interview went well. I'm still waiting for the result. Got back home at 5:00am and stayed up a bit untilI fell asleep again. Woke up at 11:00am and I was very hungry. Good thing a friend texted me and said she cooked spicy squid and Lemak rice and will drop it off in my place. We both live in the same condominium complex. I thanked her and within…
Kutsinta For Breakfast It is still my rest day today so decided to try a different breakfast. After having my oatmeal, i had these kutsinta with sweet custard. Kutsinta is a steamed cake made from flour, tapioca flour, and brown sugar. it is soft, chewy and usually topped with grated coconut. It is a delicious breakfast, snack or dessert. This particular kutsinta that I had was topped with sweet custard which made it more delicious. What is everyone else having today?…
