Sunday morning, Bubba, Tabs (Joyce my cutesy sister) and I drove to Fort to walk Chili, Jam’s beloved dog.  We played catch at the same vacant spot where we played Frisbee before.  It started to drizzle so we transferred to Bonifacio High Street.  When we got there, the drizzle stopped.  Since the two are heavy lumbers, I was the one who ran with Chili.  We kept running and running until she had enough exercise (although Chili is a she, I was referring to myself). 

Krispy Kreme was our stop for our morning breakfast.  Sweet sugar loaded doughnuts early in the morning and steaming hot chocolate –that’s what you call power breakfast?  So powerful that 2 seconds into the rush, Bubba had sugar crash.  We ordered the usual of original glazed and Bubba’s favorite Hershey’s treats while we also tried the new Reese peanut butter doughnuts.  I am a total Reese girl, but the peanut butter taste was a bit milder than expected.

Around lunchtime we headed over to CPK Greenhills branch.  I got a Chicken Adobo Pizza coupon from Blog Bank that I decided to use that day.

On the Table:

Spinach Artichoke Dip PHP 625

Spinach and Artichoke dip served hot with blue and white tortilla chips.  One of the usual appetizers ordered whenever at CPK.  The chips this time around were quite smaller than what’s served in their Shangri-la branch.  This appetizer was one of our conversation pieces on the table that day.  We were trying to figure out what’s artichoke in Filipino.

Mediterranean Salad PHP 355

A chilled salad of cucumber, red onions, fresh tomatoes and greek olives.  Tossed with crisp Romaine leaves in lemon-herb vinaigrette, served on a bed of creamy hummus.  Topped with feta cheese, sun-dried tomatoes, and Tzatziki sauce.  Served with 2 slices of pita bread.  This is the dish the majority agreed on that day –tug of war on portions. 

Goat Cheese with Roasted Peppers PHP 515

Mild goat cheese with roasted red and yellow bell peppers, grilled Japanese eggplant, Mozzarella cheese, caramelized onions, Italian parsley in tomato-based pizza.  Goat cheese and roasted peppers on pizza –what can go wrong? 

Kung Pao Spaghetti PHP 255

A classic Kung Pao sauce with garlic, green onions, peanuts and HOT red chilies

Chicken Adobo Pizza

I didn’t get to try this but my sister Joanne and Bubba seemed to like it better than the goat cheese pizza.

For some odd reason, there was no usual Monday traffic along EDSA last night around 730pm and we were able to reach Mall of Asia by 810pm just in time for the Krispy Kreme launch of their newest branch.

When we got there, the venue was already packed.  The weather was so dry yesterday that I couldn’t stand to be in a crowded place that after 15 minutes, I decided to grab dinner with Bubba instead.

After mulling around the mall and deliberating between Mojito, Pink Pepper and Seafront, we hopped to Tokyo Café to finally try it out.

On the Table:

Shrimp Bisque PHP 95

Delightful shrimp bisque with hints of spiciness

Chicken and Cheese Roll PHP 225

Bubba was disappointed with this because the outer crust was so thick that it eliminates the taste of chicken and cheese.  Cheese wasn’t the usual gooey mozzarella according to Bubba.

Ebi Cream Pasta PHP 265

This was the winner among the three entrées we’ve tried.  The pasta had enough creamy consistency on it and a generous helping of shrimps.  Shrimps though didn’t taste fresh.

Hamburg and Shrimp PHP 265

2 burger steaks served on a hot plate with string beans and corn on the side.  2 orange battered shrimps complete the entourage.  The coating on the shrimp was the same as the chicken and cheese roll.  It was as thick too so after one bite, I had to put this on Bubba’s plate.

A busy Tuesday morning it was starting with a Eurocup meeting and an anti-piracy meeting afterwards. The meeting was about to begin when Mean called me and asked me if I ordered Krispy Kreme. I said no. Krispy Kreme Galleria Branch sent over a box of 12 melt-in-your-mouth original glazed donuts!!! I was surprised when they said there was a delivery of Krispy Kreme at the reception. I thought it was Bubba sending me 12 goodies, but it was actually from the branch!

Thanks so much! What a perfect way to ease my Tuesday and prep me up for the SATC premiere. Good vibes, good times!
