Inside Hole in the Wall : Liberation Shawarma

Here's our 3rd stop during our visit at Hole in the Wall -- meet Liberation Shawarma by Chef JP Anglo.

This stall takes inspiration from a food truck so you can see how it has a very simple, industrial look. Somehow though, it still blends in perfectly with its neighboring stalls which have a mix of colors here and there.

We initially were not planning to try this anymore seeing how all the other things that we have ordered are starting to fill up our table so quickly. However, Pan and I are big fans of wraps and shawarma so this is something we found it so hard to pass up on. They offer three types of shawarma: beef, pork and falafel (chickpea patties). I was inclined towards getting the falafel but I was afraid that it might be too dry and hard to be enjoyed. Sadly, beef wasn't available that day so we settled for the Pork Shawarma (Php. 230) with Spiced Fries (Php. 70).

What can I say about the food. This is definitely the place to go when you want strong-flavored, authentic Mediterranean food. Perhaps, the spices can be a tad too overpowering for others and there might be a need to tone it down a bit to cater to the local market. It's interesting also to note that instead of using the usual shawarma wrapper, they made use of pita pockets instead which lessens the mess. Yay!

My mom for instance, just had a small bite and quickly pushed back her slice of shawarma. She isn't a fan of Mediterranean food so it was no surprise that this didn't wowed her at all. To be fair, the meat was very tender and I love how evenly flavored the whole shawarma was. The pita was soft and yummy too.

As for the Spiced Fries, this is probably one thing that I wasn't too crazy about. The fries was so spicy that I could hardly taste anything else as it has instantly numb my tongue. I'm definitely skipping this next time.

I do believe in second chances and I can't wait to give Liberation Shawarma another try. Hopefully, beef will be available by then.

 Annyeong! It's been a while since my last blog post and boy this year is zooming by oh so fast!  So, how has everyone been?  As for me, I've been extra busy with work as I recently took on a new role that's equally exciting and challenging but really, I love theAsiaparent and I love my team and I am so excited to grow with everyone this year. On the domestic side, Yaya M has left us (again and for good this time) and we wish her luck in finding her one true love.  Meanwhile, my twins have started pre-school this year so Paul and I have also took on our new roles as Teacher Mommy and Teacher Daddy. I'm still sad that my twins will most likely not experience nursery life such as meeting new friends, being part of school programs, gaining independence and more. Pre-school life was so much fun for me and it breaks my heart knowing that by the time the pandemic is over, they might have to enter big school already. *sigh*  I'm glad that we enrolled them in Kindermusik ea

Taste of Royalty : Caviar Pie by Kamikalu

From the name itself -- Caviar Pie -- immediately brings forth the feeling of being part of the higher social class where women and men would gather (pre-pandemic, of course) to socialize over expensive wine and cocktails and enjoy hors d'oeuvres served in small containers or on top of the daintiest crackers or crostinis. If we go back in time, it's giving me images of being one of the ladies of the Bridgerton  families as they would be waiting in their sitting room and would lady-likely spread just the right amount of Caviar Pie on top a piece of crackers. Forgive me as I was obviously Netflix bingeing all year thus the multiple reference to some of Netflix' biggest shows. If you haven't watched Bridgerton, well then, I highly recommend for you to do so.  Okay, going back to Caviar Pie . This is probably one of my favorite snack to have. It's simple to make but what makes it special are the premium ingredients found inside. In fact, it's like the classier, ver

Manoy Roast: Delicious Chicken and Frozen Meals

I've mentioned that Yaya M has left us already and if there's one big challenge that majority of the households are currently facing is the lack of good, reliable help. When a helper leaves, it's harder now to hire a new one simply because you have to take all the precautionary measures before she actually starts work and that means having to do the recommended 2 weeks quarantine, swab test and all the checks. The worst thing is after going through all that, you then realize that the helper falls short of your expectations or worst, she would come up with whatever excuse to leave right away *sigh*. We are lucky though that despite the countless number of undesirable ones who have given all the excuses in lies in the books, we have found good reliable ones who are truly blessings in our household.  I remembered when Yaya M first left us and we had R with us here at home. We would help out to make the workload lighter for her. For instance, we would take care of cooking to al
