Snack Time: Eat my GF!

-
It was during one of our panic Christmas shopping trips one weekend, that Paul and I decided to rest and to head to the Glorietta food court to grab a snack. You see, unlike probably most ladies my age, I no longer enjoy shopping...that much. I'm sure my shopping buddy and college best friend Len couldn't believe her eyes when she reads this as we used to declare that we are part of the "shopping" varsity team back then. Those were the days where most of our long breaks were spent at the mall and we always end up lugging back a couple of shopping bags as we head back to school for our next class. Yes, there was really a time that I, Frannywanny, used to be a shopaholic.

Perhaps I grew older and realized that I can no longer keep up with the crazy frantic atmosphere where I get squished and elbowed at as I join the sea of shoppers especially during the weekends or worst, the Holiday rush. The mere thought of it really sends shivers down my spine. This is also one reason why I loveeeee online shopping where I can choose, research, decide and buy at any given time I want.

When at the mall, I prefer to keep my eyes on a look out for new food finds. Such was the case that day were I found -- Eat my GF!

Before anything else, GF stands for Garlic Fries. I've been hearing about this food stall from bazaar-loving friends and what has been stopping me from trying this out was that their first branch was in Alabang, so far away from home! I'm so happy that they have finally opened their second branch in Makati making it more accessible to me.

The sales clerk was amazing! He first made me try their Virgin Chips (Php. 80/150) which are thinly sliced potato chips, deep-fried and served with fresh garlic bits and lots of parmesan chips. I love garlic and I love cheese. Needless to say, this was a sure hit the moment I tried a piece and while waiting for my small box of Virgin Chips to be ready, I asked to try few pieces more.

We also had the Original GF (Php. 69/140) which is not your ordinary fries. Similar to the Virgin Chips, these crispy fries are coated with slightly spicy garlic bits, parsley and parmesan chips. It wasn't so bad but I just find the garlic bits a bit too overpowering. Sadly, Paul didn't enjoy this very much as he's not fond of parsley at all.

Hoping to make this more interesting, I requested to add some bacon  (Php.36 additional). Somehow, it didn't blend that well with the fries. Oh well...

Between the two, we liked the Virgin Chips better probably because of the moderate amount of garlic-parmesan topping and the chips were extra crunchy making it fun to munch on.

I'm glad that I was able to finally try Eat my GF!

Eat my GF is located at Food Choices, 3rd level Glorietta 4, Makati City.

Bag of Beans (Charito) in Tagaytay

I can't believe that we have been frequenting Tagaytay for more than a decade now and not once have I written about Bag of Beans ! I tried searching all over this blog and I found..nothing. To think that not a single trip to Tagaytay, back then, would ever be complete without stopping by Bag of Beans for lunch or merienda. I must have been to engrossed with their coffee and bread that I wasn't able to take photos of the place and their food thus no blog entry. They, after all, have one of the best brewed coffee in Tagaytay and the yummiest bread to go with it too. Bag of Beans has been an institution in Tagaytay. Just like us, other tourists and visitors would make sure to drop by in order to grab a bite or to take home some of their homemade goodies every time they find themselves in Tagaytay. Bag of Beans started with one branch along the Tagaytay-Nasugbu Main Road across Residence Inn Zoo and it wasn't even overlooking the Taal. While they may lack in having a scenic ...

Franny Mommy Finds : Happy Noz Sticker Patch

As a parent, I have one thing that I dread the most and that's when any of my kids fall sick. From the moment we detect the faintest sniffle followed by sneezes and runny nose, we know one thing is for sure -- we will be having a couple of sleepless nights. For twins, it is very common that when one falls sick, expect the other one to follow suit in just a matter of days, sometimes within hours even.  A few years ago, my twins would catch a cold and we really would struggle because they'd become very fussy and cranky at night. They're sleepy and tired from the cold but with a clogged nose, they can't really have a restful night and this means, either one of us will have to sit up and carry them all throughout the night. It came to a point wherein both kids were sick and Paul and I eventually caught the bug too. It was just so hard to care for the kids while you're not in the best condition as well. This got me researching on remedies on how we can have a good night ...

Lumbung Sari: House of Coffee in Ubud, Bali

Aside from its beautiful beaches and sunset views, Bali is also known for its coffee. Actually Indonesia is one of the world's top coffee producers and Bali, in particular, is known for a certain type of coffee called kopi luwak . It's actually one of the more premium kind and this is because of how it's produced. Kopi Luwak otherwise known as civet coffee  is produced by this tiny furry creature called the civet cat. They're fed coffee cherries and the coffee beans actually comes out when they poop. I know it sounds gross but people believe that the enzymes produced by the civet cat and the fermentation that happens inside is body brings more flavor and improves the quality of the coffee. So after they excretes it out, the farmers will then clean it, roast and grind it before brewing the coffee. Every time Paul and I travel, we love to inject a bit of history and cultural learning about the place that we're visiting. So, when I proposed the idea of visitin...
