Pupung and Friends Pinoy Fast Food Resto

Yesterday we went to Mall of Asia to watch Beowulf on IMAX cinema, we do not usually go there because we are living in Pasig and MOA is in Pasay, it is very far from our place. We were looking for a new resto to try and so we've seen Pupung and Friends accidentally, since I am not so familiar with MOA all I can remember is that this resto is beside an escalator and another new restaurant KKK.

The Food
We ordered Rib Eye Pork Steak which costs 125.00 including java rice and a glass of ice tea. We also ordered halo-halo.

They also offer, tapa, liempo, longanisa, bangus belly, bbq tuna in sticks, breaded porkchop.

For drinks, they have guinumis (cold drink with coconut milk), halo-halo and buko pandan. They also have green mango ensalada, tinuktuk??? and laing.

The Cost
An order of a meal would cost around 70-88 pesos, their highest price of food is the pork steak. Drinks costs aroubd 16-25 pesos for soda and ice tea.
Other sidings you could order for 10.00 or 15.00 or 25.00 like laing or pinakbet.
Extra rice cost 12.00 and java rice costs 16.00.

The Ambience

It looks a little crowded and they cannot accommodate all the people coming in so the tendency is to look for another restaurant nearby. Their design is a big tarpaulin on the wall of Pupung and Friends comics, plus they wrap another comics tarpaulin in one of the big posts. They even use it to decorate their lampshape with Pupung and Friends cartoons.

Service
It takes a while for your order to arrive, around 15-20 minutes, but if you ordered breaded porkchop it is readily available, if it needs to be barbequed you have to wait. Though we did not order porkchop, you can see it in their counter that it is already prepared. Maybe it is just their soft opening so they are a little slow.

The concept

Their menu is not new but their concept it, they named their food after the character in the comics, the decoration I think is original. They do not need a lot of advertisement because there is a lot of walk-in clients. They may be familiar with Pupung and Friends and the food is cheap.

Rating
I would give them a rating of 6 out 10, because I like what we ordered, but it is not a candidate for my favorite reataurant. You might just try it but nothing will make you come back, maybe the price or maybe if there is a long line in other resto.
The food is similar with Binalot and other street resto offering tapsi and breakfast meal. Maybe in one year they need to add, french fries, spaghetti, carbonara, and other food and maybe name it Pupung and Friends in Italy or France or America so you can order a burger. Hehehehe.

Shopping Day Today

Ang haba ng bakasyon, sana pala I went to Pangasinan to visit my dead relatives, kaya lang diba it was so hot last Nov 1, ang init sobra. Nagpunta na rin tuloy sila sa Baguio at Hundred Island. Haay, sayang, okey na rin.

So ngayon, after staying in the house for so many days, nag shopping na lang kami ni Irwin. I bought, a blouse, an anion pantiliners and a shades from Bayo. Cute nga ng shades ah. May nabili pala akong pouch bag din from Egg.
Etong Anion na pantiliners, sinadya pa namin sa Starmall because direct selling ito, hindi nabibili sa supermarket or department store. Popularly known as Love Moon, eto yung napkin na pwede mong gamitin ng isang buong araw. Meron siyang negative ion that would absord all the positive ions, positive ions parang mga free radicals in your body. Nakaka-alis ng dysmenorrhea, at pms if you have your period. I bought the pantiliners, 30 pieces costs 190.00 pesos.

This is the shades I bought naman from Bayo. Naku, I tried to wear a similar shades na pinahiram ng sis ko sa Tagaytay, when I smile umaangat, eto rin umaangat, pero I tried to practice smiling na hindi sya aangat. hehehe. It comes with a very durable and sleeky case.



This is what I bought from Egg, sale ito, dating 245.00 naging 100.00 na lang. So why not buy, cute lang, mura lang.

So before we tried to shop, kumain muna kami.
Everytime we go to Hypermart we always buy yung tempura with rice na 69 pesos, at saka FutoMaki costing around 55, plus kanina sa Megamall meron din nun, at may bago sila yung calamares na binebenta sa kalye meron na sa loob ng Megamall, 15 pesos, 5 pieces ang galing. Nakakatuwa, same price din siya nung sa kalye, pero ito mas malinis.


Tipid kami kasi we will have to pay for the stud service ni Cassie bukas, 2500 rin yun.
Haay ang Cassie, naghahanap na ulet ng lalaki, in heat kung baga.
Ganun pala, fertile sila looking for a mate,
para ring tao.

SOMS Noodle House







Finally after several dining trips at Soms Noodle House, I was finally able to take some pictures of our favorite Phad Thai and Red Chicken curry. Seems that we never failed to go there once a month but now it seems that we were regular customers of the resto. I wasn't able to take some pictures of the front of the resto kasi dyahe ang daming tao. Heto lang ang pictures na nakunan ko, we were not sitting by the road nasa loob kami ng gate, inside the store.
Kasama pa namin si Cassie na kumain. Syempre.

Ang laking Chocolate Fountain!

Free Taste, sarap siguro...yummy!

I am busy today because I returned back to work after recuperating for two months for my maternity leave. So I need to finish a lot of things for my masteral requirements and the clinical OJT of my students.

Because I cannot discuss anything, I thought of just sharing the pictures of Dusseldorf, Germany when Irwin was assigned there last year.

Hmm, I just wished I was with him when he went there, so eto ako, puro tingin na lang sa mga pictures.

Mom and Tina's Bakery Cafe


Cozy place, cool interior, malamig sa loob. brrrr.



Baka kayo maligaw, nasa tapat lang siya ng Hypermart, it is not in Libis, pero papuntang Libis.


Well I was browsing through the net and found this new dessert site. Biglang nakita ko ang review niya sa Mom and Tina's Bakery Cafe, I thought, I've been there, gawan ko nga rin ng reviews.
So here are the pictures of Mom and Tina when we celebrated Father's Day this year.
Located at Ugong, Pasig City, I should know taga run ako eh.
Palagi naming nadadaanan so we were looking for a place to spend Father's Day dyan kami napadpad.



I like their ice tea's kasi colorful, yes ang ganda ng color niya, masarap rin naman but it taste like yung green tea na tinitipla na naka-sachet. I forgot the name. They also have red ice tea, pero mas gusto ko yung nasa Tokyo Tokyo.

We ordered pasta, I ordered Carbonara, it comes with 2 pieces of bread. Masarap siya pero mas masarap ang Lasagna nila. Hmm, that reminds me, mas gusto ko talaga ng tomato sauce kesa sa white sauce on my pasta.


Irwin ordered yung Beef Tongue, masarap ang kanilang mashed potato and the beef is tender, diba twalya ang tawag nila dun? Pero ito, tender and juicy. Parang hotdog. haha.

I love the ambience, not too bright not too dim ang lighting, soft light nga eh, kaya ang gandang kunan ng pictures. They also sell cookies and other pastries plus they have parang refrigerated cake.

In our second visit, we ordered spaghetti, ayaw ko, di masarap, then we ordered Kani Salad, mas gusto ko pa yung nasa Teriyaki Boy kasi buo ang cucumber ng Mom and Tina's. It's not what I am expecting. So I ended up sharing what Irwin has ordered, nakalimutan ko na, basta may mashed potato, yun gusto ko. We did not order the refillable drinks kasi medyo nagmahal na.
Here are more pictures. Recommended ko naman ang food nila, kaya lang I have a different taste, so you can just check the place.

Anecdote, nasanggi ni Irwin yung glass nila pero hindi kami singil, it was an accident, andun pa naman ang owner. Hahaha. Mabait.


Irwin very happy sa gift niya. Cookies!

What More Can I Ask For?

Magaling! Magaling! Ang saya-saya! Yesterday was our 2 years and 4 months wedding anniversary. Dapat kahapon kami magcecelebrate, kaya lang traffic at pagod na si Irwin. So we decided na today na lang. After lunch after we dropped Angie, Maris's sister-in-law sa may Libertad going to Quezon we went to Market market kasi sale. So pagdating namin dun, we saw this promo ng Coffeemate na for every 3 purchase of 180grams of CoffeeMate you will get a free caricature. Eh ang tagal ko nang gusto na magkaroon nun, it was expensive pa. So we tried it out, buti na lang game na game ang asawa ko. I asked him for a copy of our picture nasa wallet niya.

Bumili kami ng CoffeeMate.
Tapos binigay namin yung picture,
tapos nagikot muna kami.
Tapos pag uwi namin.
Ayun may caricature na kami!
Ang saya saya diba?


And then when we went sa Department Store, I saw this iWhite na whitening pack,
nakita ko na siya sa Hypermart dati eh, di lang ako nakabili so I bought a pack, yun pala may promo na naman, free facial, of course, I tried it too, Exciting!
After being a "prisoner" sa bahay, eto ako, parang si Michael ng "Prison Break",
gala ng gala, ang saya talaga.

So nagpafacial ako using their product, ayun effective siya in removing blackheads and whiteheads, dinaig pa ang derma ko. Hindi pa ganun kahapdi or kasakit compare mo
dun sa mga facial sa Let's Face It kasi they do pricking.

Ang saya! Goodbye blackheads na ako...

O after naman nun, punta kami sa Van Hausen, Isang dosesang polo shirt ang binili ni Irwin, as in pakyaw, lahat ng magkasya sa kanya, sige bile, Imagine, yung dating 1,200 na polo na binibili niya, nasa 400 na lang, bagsak presyo, as in SALE talaga!
Yun lang kasi ang nagkakasyang polo sa kanya, yug IZOD kasya rin kaya lang mas expensive siya. Mahal para sa mahal ko.

Okey ang pinakamasarap na part siyempre, kainan, diretso kami sa Heaven and Eggs to eat. We ordered porkchop, may free pancake na, so we ordered rice with the porkchop kasi dati, we ordered the extra rice and we chose the pancake na kasama ng chops.

WE didn't order drinks kasi, mahal na ang bottomless nila, nasa 85 pesoses na.
Dati we would share ni Irwin sa chops, then I will order the butter pancake, ngayon tig-isa na kami! Inuwi ko pa ang buto para kay Cassie.


So after nun, umuwi na kami. umuulan na eh, bawal pa akong mabasa ng ulan, maloloka raw ako sabi ni Mama.

So, like what my title says, "WHAT MORE CAN I ASK FOR"?

Siguro anak na lang.
