I guess my birthday posts are proofs how much I love food! I promise after my birthday posts series, I will take a break from posting foods! baka umay - umay na kayo hihi :) my wedding sisters ( two ladies who are super close to my heart ang kept me sane during my wedding preps) with their respective hubby and boyfriend treated me and Mr. Panda to Sambo Kijin as birthday treat :) we went to the nearest branch which is the one in SM Southmall. I only took photos of the ones na we had :)

I went to the crabsticks area bec Mr. Panda loves them :)

My 3 - 0 day 7: Outback Steakhouse

My favorite girls - my nieces - and our familly baby, Thirdy, met up for dinner to celebrate my 3 - 0! They surprised me with a cake that the 2 kiddos, our princess and Thirdy, were licking the sides of the cake while singing Happy Birthday to me! Hihi! kaya pala they kept on telling me lets blow your cake na! Sila pala excited!

Mrs. Panda's Foodie Reviews

Lasa

- the interiors is modern filipino

- the owners were there when we dine and they even approach our table to check on us

- ang dami nila servers! 

- the servings are a bit small for the price but super malasa na konti lang need mo with rice (ifyouknowwhatimean) haha :)

- lahat ng orders namin 5 stars! ang saraap

- the sisig liempo have the perfect spicy taste!

Maple

- servings are good for sharing! we were 5 in the group may take home pa kami (take note:my family are sweetaholics!)

- i like the forbes branch more than the alabang. medyo masikip

- the servers are as usual very courteous and prompt

Will I come back? YES!!!!

Jap Food Addiction: Ramen Kuroda

Mr. Panda is still at his Jap Food Addiction phase :) One thursday, 30 minutes before dinner, he craved for Japanese food and we quickly dressed up and went to the busy road of BF Homes.

Easter 2014: Egg hunting and Staycations!

Holy Week is 2 weeks away! and I know most families (like mine) take advantage of the holy week to bond as family and do some relaxation after "magnilay-nilay" as my Mama used to say :) 

I compiled a list where you can go for staycations (mostly hotels with Easter promos) and where to go for egg hunting for the kiddos!

My 3-0 day 5: Fish and Co

For day 5!!!!! I'm super happy when Mr. Panda brought me to the doorsteps of the newly re-opened Fish and Co. at Greenbelt! When Fish and Co. closed before I was so upset na sabi ko talaga hindi ako kakain sa Siklab! Haha! Well, kumain ako dun once kasi gusto talaga try ni Mr. Panda. For the month of March, twice na ko nag dinner sa Fish and Co. Hindi masyado halata namiss ko ang Fish and Co. :)
