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.

IKEA Singapore Pyjamas Party

For those who have watched the movie 500 Days of Summer starring Zooey Deschanel and my ex-boyfriend Joseph Gordon-Levitt, you probably also loved this scene: Paul and I are regular shoppers of IKEA . It's highly possible that someday, we will be able to furnish our future home with IKEA furniture pieces and items as it has been our go-to place since our 1st day here in Singapore. We would joke that if only we can live in IKEA, we probably would go for it. Well, who would have thought that the opportunity would come for us to "spend the night" in IKEA? A week ago, Paul and I were chosen to be one of the lucky few to join the exclusive IKEA Pyjamas Party . It was a 4-hour event starting at 11PM and we were told to come in..what else?!...our PJs. We were too shy though so we just went in our comfy t-shirt and shorts. Well, some were really brave and came in their full PJs complete with fluffy bedroom slippers! This event was to launch the 2015 IKEA catalogue also

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

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
