Breakfast at Antonio’s

Posted on September 26, 2013 by Marjorie

We went on a road trip with a couple of friends and their baby on our last vacay in Ph and stopped over at Breakfast at Antonio’s for lunch.

Ordered Smoked Salmon Eggs Benedict. Yummy!

But when I tasted their Five Cheese Pizza that my friends ordered, I almost lost my head. Goodness, how good it was!!!

Their golden pancake that hubs ordered was delectable as well! Hmmm, looks like we might be dropping by this resto on every Tagaytay trip we’ll be having in the future.

Had a day off from work today (and Yui from daycare) because Yui and I have fever. We both had a sleepless night but thankfully Yui’s fever finally broke this afternoon and i’m dearly hoping it won’t come back anymore (at least this time. Please fever, don’t come back, ok?). Yui had been very clingy in that she can only sleep if she’s snug against me. Can’t do any household work. But good thing I can blog while sweaty Yui sleeps on my chest. :).

Yui’s first Filipino food

Rice and chicken stew with tomato and the very nutritious malunggay/moringa. Cooked by Yui’s grandfather (Mom side) no less. Tasted it. Even sans salt, it was delicious!

out with white bread

Finally, an access to my WordPress app! Couldn’t access the app for a almost a couple of weeks in that I had to reinstall the app. Thing is, I had to try several times to get the right password. But finally, thankfully, I now got an access!

So. Last post was about eating healthy goodness and here is yet another one!

As much as possible, whenever I feed Yui bread, I try to give her the healthier option. Thankfully, she loves it as well!

Hijiki (seaweed) rice bread (the one with white powder on the top) and rye wheat bread.

I also have these two for lunch at least once a week.

When I was pregnant, I love Muji Café’s wheat bread. Now, both Mom and baby love the bread.

Let’s opt for the healthier choice Moms and Dads!

yakiimo is heaven

Posted on April 29, 2013 by Marjorie

It’s warm now as May approaches. So I wasn’t expecting roasted sweet potato (or yakiimo in Japanese) would still be sold – they’re usually around during the colder months. But when we saw a man eating his yakiimo passionately on a bench near the grocery section in Ito Yokado, I also craved for one; which had Mayumi laughing and saying “yappari!” (I knew it!). 😀

Happy me the big ones are available again this time!

Yakiimo is so sweet it’s like candied sweet potato. Roasting it on the stone however, brought out its natural sweetness.

Ah. Love.

Yui had her share of the goodness as well, had it with her oatmeal. Like Mommy, like daughter I think. 🙂

I used to hear yakiimo jingles on speakers attached to the trucks of yakiimo sellers. They’re very seldom seen nowadays and that yakiimo are now more frequently sold in supermarkets. I’d prefer buying the traditional way though albeit Ito yokado probably has the best yakiimo in the region. 😀

Filipino style sweet spaghetti

For me, this is perfection. I have so many dish requests in mind that I hope Papa would cook for us during their visit here in Japan but I think I’d be requesting for this one again very soon.

With pork meat, bacon, mushroom and loads of cheese. And sugar.

Glick Grill (Takamatsu)

And so with the start of the new year is the hope that I’d be able to update this blog more often; “more often” being at least once a month.

Had our first dine out for the year earlier for dinner at the Glick Grill. Set up is like one of those popular family restaurants here in Japan; only, that this is of high end and of course with more class.

Both hubs and I had the meal with roast chicken, pan-grilled tuna (hiding under the paprika in below photo) and deep-fried marinated shrimp on lemon sauce. I love all three, especially the roasted herbed chicken skin (I rarely eat chicken skin as part of dieting) and the shrimp (which reminded me of the way Papa cooks shrimps – which they had for their Media Noche ~drool~). If given the choice however, I wouldn’t have had added the lemon sauce.

We ordered herbed rice with our main dish. I was just expecting the usual herbed rice but was delightfully surprised with what was served us.

It’s reminiscent of the Singaporean Chicken Rice but made EVEN BETTER because it’s Japanese rice and cooked with herbs. I’m limiting my rice intake to only half a cup once a day but I believe I could easily finish four cups of this one. 😀

Tummy has no more room for dessert so I just ordered cafe mocha. No expectations for this one but yet again I was delighted with what was served.

Thanks for the treat Otoosan! 🙂

A chocolatey journey, with Yui!
