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.

Nurturing Friendship through Delish Treats

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?

DelishTreat: My Sweet Tooth... NOT!

I rave over spicy and sour tasting food but very seldom on sweets. My doze of sweetness would be my addiction on Coke and ice tea. Thus, i am not really a fan of cakes and ice cream until I discovered... Selecta Chocolate Truffle and cupcakes.

I can live without eating ice cream but if this will be served to me, I will surely would not let it go without having a round or two. The real chocolates in this ice cream would be worth all the calories I will gain after feasting over it. This 1.66 L, Php 360+ worth of ice cream is a delish treat from heaven.

yummy on the outside

the choco chucks inside make it doubly yummy.

Another delish treat for me would be cupcakes. I have been looking around for cupcakes in the city and I must say the cupcakes of Joniel's and Taste of Home stand out.

I discovered Joniel's through my friends who have good taste for pastries. Joniel's cupcake is a delish treat for its very affordable price of Php 15 each. 

we surprised our birthday boy with Joniel's cupcakes.

The search for adorable and gratifying cupcakes continue and I finally found one at Taste of Home through the recommendation of our Jesuit brother and fellow foodie, Bro. Jeff Pioquinto. The look of their cupcakes are so appetizing and the taste is divine. Taste of Home is at the Matina Town Square and their cupcakes cost Php 45 for each.

say hello to the ferrero!

I may not have a sweet tooth but these delish treats are toothsome so please do not judge me by my weight. Until our next delish treat, xoxo! ♡♥

Delish Treat: Cafe France

The hubby took me for a thursdate to try his new discovery, Cafe France which is located in the second level of the building where Manila Bulletin is billeted.

This spicy tuna, which the hubs brought the other day as a surprise, made me want to try their food.

The classic and homey ambiance of their cafe is such a date inspiring.

We would like to try their baby back ribs unfortunately it is unavailable for Davao City as we were told so instead the hubs had their very tasty roasted chicken and i had their fish fillet which was a little overcooked. By the way their rice and tartar sauce were superb.

Of course, we did not go without a take out for my pretty monkeys.

I would definitely go back to try the Cafe France pasta and the spicy tuna of course. 

If you have new food discoveries, i would really appreciate if you will share it with me.

xoxo,
