Delish Treat: Rumah Kari

It must be very obvious, by now, that I am such a big foodie. I can attribute it to my Kapampangan lineage. My maternal grandparents are from Tarlac and I can boldly attest  that my grandmother's cooking treats are heavenly. At a young age, I am exposed to nothing but delicious food.

Unfortunately, unlike my mother, I was not able to inherit my Lola's cooking expertise. I may not have become a chef but I would gladly settle to what I enjoy the most... being a foodie! Thus, I am very grateful to God for giving me friends whom I can be with for food trips.

A couple of days after I arrived from Hong Kong, Faye and Bubbles brought me to Rumah Kari at Marfori Heights Subdivision (landmark is the Mercury Drug Store). Rumah Kari specializes in Indian and Malaysian cuisine. If you like the kick of spicy food then you will have a great time enjoying their offering.

The restaurant has a homey ambiance which can make dates with friends relaxing and convenient for updating.

My friends and I ordered different varieties of delights with Sambal Sauce: Chicken, Shrimp and Squid. You can choose to have rice or rotti and you can also request how spicy you want your sauce to be.

I had the squid which was very tender and for a first timer I like the sambal sauce. The Sambal meal costs Php 285 each and is good  for one person. Their meals do not have the price of a fast food but it can surely suffice your indulgence for quality food. I will surely visit Rumah Kari again and bring my mother.

Date nights with friends can contribute to weight gain. But more importantly, it celebrates a bond from which one gains wholeness from one's union with and for others.

The extra pounds, money and time spent are all worth the genuine friendship! Persons (and food) are gifts!

How do you nourish friendship?

Pizza Saturdate

I spent the whole day of my Saturday writing about our recent trip and the hubs was good enough to ask me out for dinner. He brought me at Sbarro in SM City Davao and tried their pizza for the first time. Their place is not big enough though compared to the size of pizza they sell but we were fortunate to get a seat for two right away.

I personally ordered the White Cheese which did not suit my taste buds. It did not taste bad but I was expecting to taste the cheeze more than the dough. So to compensate I sprinkled oregano. I will skip ordering this the next time.

The hubs had the Supreme which is better than the White Cheese. He liked how the cooking was just right in preseving the crisp of the vegetables.

We both agreed to get the Chicago Deep Dish Meat which is a pasta in a pizza in my eyes. It looked big for me but I did not regret having it because it was the best pizza I tasted ever. I like the tomato based red sauce and the right cooking of the pepperoni, ham and meat balls which is soft in the mouth.

We went out of the store full and satisfied. Thanks to the hubs for the Saturdate.

P.S. While eating the hubs remembered Mommy Vilma (his mom) because pizza and pasta are her comfort food. So we will have a pizza date with her when we visit again. And oh, this was what I wore:
