When 7-11 has been your friend throughout you’re lazy days, chances are you can now enumerate the menu on hotta rice. Hahaha. Heck you even know which 7-11 has the best choices of your fave canned goods and noodles.
Searching that all too familiar rack of food. It brings us delight to find new treats =) and we found these ONIGIRI.


Tuna Mayo Onigiri 35 Php
The cutest of them all. This triangular rice ball is so cute that it caught my eye in an instant. And like any other spread type filling, it consist of mainly mayo with a hint of tuna. Hence, renaming should be in order.

Chicken Teriyaki Onigiri 35 Php
I have my hopes up for this since the teriyaki sauce is seeping through its sides and voila, it is better tasting than the tuna mayo but not as cute.


 
SPAM musubi 39 Php
This is the highlight food, the spam is sliced with enough thickness and we all know that SPAM has that salty taste no other canned good can replace. Hahaha. The yellow filling that I assumed to be a piece of scramble egg has done nothing to the taste, I mainly think of it a design rather than an add on. How do I know? I tried eating it alone and it taste like nothing.

The Side Story:

We have this to go to 7-11 in Valero street just beside Kang’s Korean store. The service crew is way “aliw”. They even converse with you in English and in a funny way plus they are have the brightest, most organized and most inviting 7-11 store I’ve been to.









A Chinese cuisine that is older than my mom at 64+ years. On a day we don’t crave for anything else, a Chinese food is a default.


Our ORDERS:


Beef Wanton Noodles       180 Php
A soup base fare is always a good appetizer. The soup was very tasty and the wanton is not fatty and it was served bubbling hot. Good for sharing. It fed 3 angry and hungry mouths that day.








Yang Chow Fried Rice      220 Php
Not the best I had but plausible. Not meaty nor veggie on taste and appearance, I can give this a so-so rate. I highly recommend to use the chili sauce to enhance your appetite and give it a little kick. If you’re not that sensitive I suppose.










Lemon Chicken 270 Php
A staple viand to our Chinese food fare, this or white chicken. I love lemon chicken from another Chinese eatery and this didn’t make par from it. Another point for a so-so chow rating. I’ll give a commendable to the fried cutlet chicken since it was thoroughly dispensed of oil and the sauce is not super thick and not so lemony.


Salt and Pepper Squid 270 Php

When we order to any Chinese cuisine resto, we constantly have food representation to water kingdom. Hahaha… since we already have chicken from the land we need to balance this with some sea creature and SQUID we choose you . The pepper is not that visible or maybe they used white pepper? Just a guess since they serve white pepper with the stacked of condiments on the side of our table. Not too salty nor peppery. Can be eaten without the accompaniment of vinegar. I’ll give this is a 65% yah and 35% nah.





The side story…

We went there @1 pm and it was jam-packed. The polite crew informed us immediately that we are 2nd on the waiting list and handed out a menu. As we are deciding on what to order, they assist us on our seat. We smelt the table not to our liking, maybe it was the spray thing they put to clean it and yes we took the liberty of re-wiping it with a cologne tissue, don’t worry it is not too strong as to not emphasize we don’t like it. Then quickly took our orders and left. Every time we would like to ask for something someone is readily and hurriedly attends to our needs. There were 4 servers with I think 14 tables to cater and they’re fast on their feet. Job well done guys. A commendable gesture since many “HUNGRY PEOPLE are ANGRY PEOPLE” at this time of the day.
Is it just me or the food was not just satisfying enough or maybe I’m just demanding more? Anyways, I’d like to come to give them a redeemable review. And please try going for yourself seeing as they are a long time running restaurant, they won’t run this long if they are not good right? Plus I saw the order of the table next to us and the chopsuey looks delish.

One day that we craved for a BULALO SOUP, we decided to search for a satisfying bowl of hot and tasty beef shank.

Kneecap \ BULALO
A house specialty and oh boy, it did not disappoint. It's the bulalo you'll always love with a serving that can feed an army. 1 serving fed a group of 6 fully grown adult with an appetite of 8 plus 2 kids.  


Shrimp
A generous plate of steamed shrimps, it tasted ok since it's an ordinary dish besides what can go wrong in steam? And shrimp?


Boneless bangus
A very titanic serving, I can not believe that a milkfish can be this big Considering that it was already boneless. As common sense dictates, a fish shrinks When cooked and boned but looking at this portion GIVES of feeling that it was indeed bigger than it currently looks. Whoa! 'm Reminded of what it looks like and that I want to taste it again as I write this.   





 The Side Story ...

Going to Tagaytay is just that one off feeling like "Hey, Let's go to Tagaytay and boom you turn the steering wheel and head to it." I hate myself for not properly taking pictures of the place and THEIR menu. I'll update this once I go back there.
