Mister Donut Pon de Ring

 

Last year during Spring time, I took a 5-day trip to Korea with my foodie friends.  I know I haven’t blogged about it here yet but that’s in the pipeline within this summer (US time har har).  I’ll include places where to eat, to shop and sites to see and activities to do.  I didn’t think I’d have so much fervor for a progressive country (except Japan when I attended a brief exchange study program there) but Korea courted me and had me smitten.  Too smitten, I wanted to keep it as another secret affair like Bali or Cambodia, which I eventually shared to you guys.  Open book.  Open life.  Open happiness.

Before I go off tangent, one of my small discoveries in Korea was Mister Donut.  In La Salle, I got hooked on buying the Twist at the Mister Donut stall in the College Canteen near the CLA building for a season, other than the siomai rice, sizzling plates, Aristocrat, sisigs, Mickey Dees of the college world.  Then I totally forgot about MD, especially years after when Gonuts Donuts opened at Fort, Krispy Kreme some 7 years ago, and the sprout of many doughnut shops.

Italianni’s

I have a few Italianni’s GC to spare so I treated my mom and sister Joanne out to Sunday dinner.  Since Joyce was grounded (for the first time!), we had to leave her behind with just home food.  We ordered spaghetti and meatballs (P263), porkchops au poivre (P380), Dalandan Juice (P99), US Tenderloin 5 ounce (P680).  There were no photos except for the US Tenderloin.

 

The US Tenderloin was tender, tasty and something I would definitely come back for more than the usual pizza and pasta flair.
