Mogu Tree Noodle House

October 15, 2013.

Another food escapade with Margot. :D Muntik pang hindi matuloy dahil sa bagyong Santi, which caused everything in her schedule to get adjusted a day later. Pero nagkasya naman ako sa schedule niya. Parang long overdue na rin kasi ang pagkikita namin kaya kailangan talagang matuloy. Haha. :))

This time, being a noodle-lover that she is, kailangang matry namin together ang new noodle house sa Lilac Street. :D Mogu Tree! Sa kainitan ng panahon, nakuha pa naming mag-noodles eh. Haha. Pero may aircon naman sa store so keri. :D

Pagdating sa place, mega decide naman kami sa sasabihin naming order kay ate sa may cashier. Sabay kami pala mismo ang kukuha ng mga pinili namin para ilagay sa basket. :D Mala-Breadtalk style ba.

Una sa lahat, kailangang pumili ng klase ng noodle soup. And for that, merong dalawang uri - plain at laksa noodle soup. Margot chose plain. Ako naman, laksa. :) Hindi ko alam kung ano 'yun, pero since nagsusubok naman kami ng bago na naman, kaya gow lang ako. :D

Margot.
Busy but happily making choices for the contents of her plain noodle soup. :)

Noodle type choices. :D

Next, pipili ng dalawa or tatlong klase ng toppings. Tig-dalawa ang kukunin for each topping na mapipili. Nakakaaliw silang tingnan, ang colorful. Karamihan sa kanila ay seafoods. From shrimps, crabs, lobsters. Meron ding mushrooms at tofu.
We both decided to have two toppings. Nakalimutan ko kung anong pinili ni Margot. Ako, crab rolls at lobster balls. :D Naisip ko kasi, magiging maganda tingnan sa noodles 'yung kulay. v^_^

Sana lang, merong signs para mas mabilis maidentify ng customers ang mga pagpipilian. Tanong kasi ako nang tanong kay ate eh. Hindi ko tuloy nalaman din lahat ng uri ng meron. Pati sa noodle types. Hindi ko alam kung ano 'yung napili ko, mukha lang kasing marami ang itsura niya kaya napili ko siya. :)) Pero si Margot, naitanong niya kung anong noodles na nakuha niya. Carrot noodles daw. :p

Ito ang buong view ng counter. :D
Drinks. Toppings na nakapatong sa crushed ice. Noodles. Baskets.

Our personal steaming bowl of noodles.
Served hot in a medyo heavy bowl na nakapatong sa kahoy.

My personal soup. :D Yey for the colors. :))
PHP145.00

Margot's creation. :D
PHP 135.00 (?)

Akala ko, wala na talagang ibang ilalagay kundi sabaw at 'yung napiling toppings.
So naaliw naman ako na may malaking petchay pa palang kasama. :D More colors! :))
Plus, dagdag sa variety ng texture. And nagbibigay ng feeling na healthy ang kinakain mo. HAHA.
Hinati rin sa dalawa 'yung bawat topping na napili;
It gives the impression na ang daming laman ng soup.
At kahit mukhang kaunti 'yung isang bundle ng noodles na kinuha ko kanina, aba,
compact lang pala kasi so marami rin pala siya.

Super filled ako after finishing the bowl. Mabuti na kahit seafoods siya ay hindi maalat. Medyo maanghang ang sa akin kasi nga laksa soup. Pero hindi naman 'yung tipong mala-jjampong na papawisan ka, tamang-tama lang talaga.

Gusto ko pang bumalik uli. :9

Kada Meow's 11th Year Part II: Udderly Delicious Milkshakes and Desserts

A decade and a year of friendship. :)
Nag-celebrate kami ng 11th year at Forget Me Not Cafe and Udderly Delicious.

Nagmeet kami ng 1130am. Akala ko, kami lang ni Margot ang sabay na pupunta, maya-maya, sumabay pala si Dawn kay Margot. At si Anika, nagattempt na isurprise ako sa bahay. HAHA. Ang ending, nagkita-kita kami malapit sa bahay. At sabay-sabay kaming nagpunta sa Lilac St.

Transpo courtesy of Kuya Marlon and his awesome tricycle. HAHA. Feeling ko, kasama na dapat siya sa celebration ng anniv namin, ano kaya iniisip niya, grabe, nakita niya kaming lahat na nag-grow mula high school. :))

After Forget Me Not Cafe, nag-milkshake kami sa Udderly Delicious. :)

Ang aming mga milkshakes. :9
Ako, Dawn: Premium Ice Cream base, Avocado flavor, No toppings.
Anika: Yogurt base, Mixed Berries flavor, No toppings.
Margot: Soft Serve Ice Cream base, Butter Pecan flavor, Milky Way topping.
Obvious naman siguro sa picture kung alin-alin sila diyan. HAHA.
Price: PHP105.00 each

Pangatlong beses ko na sa milkshake shop na ito, at parating uber busog ako after makaubos ng isang order. Sobrang rich and thick kasi niya. :) Pero sila, nagpangalawang order pa after a while. Amaziingg. Gusto ko pa naman sana uli ng yogurt base na strawberry. >.< Next time na lang. :)

Katulad ng dati, napagusapan na naman namin ang HS moments, mga updates sa aming buhay, at mga bago naming gustong gawin o maranasan. :)

Nakakatuwa rin na nakisama ang panahon noong pauwi na kami kasi, naglakad lang kami mula Lilac St. hanggang Meralco sa Bayan-bayanan Avenue. Walang masakit sa balat na araw o madugyot na effect ng ulan. d(^__^)b

Letter from Margot. We each got one from her. :D
SWEETNESS. Mangiyak-ngiyak ako sa contents.
At sa fact na ngayon na lang ako uli nakatanggap ng love letter mula sa taong gusto ko. Wahaha.
Oo, love letter 'yan. :))

I am so proud of us. :) Thanks for staying and keeping in touch.

Buti saktong four pieces ang fish sticks. d(^__^)b
Price: PHP138.39

Pesto with Tuyo Flakes. Order namin ni Anika. :) SARAPP.
Naamuse kaming lahat sa "antenna" niya. HAHA.
Hindi ko masyadong napansin kung meron man ngang tuyo, hindi rin maalat kasi.
'Di ba maalat ang tuyo? :p
Hindi siya nagsasabaw sa mantika. Good job! d(^__^)b

Lasagna. Margot's order. Hindi ko natikman, biglang naglaho eh. :))

Penne Arabiata. Dawn's order. Meron din siyang amusing "antenna". :))
Medyo hindi trip ni Dawn dahil dry raw. Same sila ng opinyon ni Margot.
Nasarapan naman ako, pero tikim lang kasi ang ginawa ko so kaunti lang.
O adik lang talaga ako sa pasta at hindi ko naramdaman ang dryness niya. :p
Pero looking at the picture, mukha nga siyang dry. :p

Choco Lava. Sweet ending. :)
Masarap siya, perfect naman ang kumbinasyon ng mga bagay-bagay.
Ngunit hindi ko inasahan na walang paglalava na magaganap. HAHA.
Either kulang sa init ang choco syrup sa loob o sobrang lamig ng ice cream sa ibabaw. :p
Sabagay, mas malinis naman kainin. :)

Ang tanging picture sa camera ko kung saan, lahat kaming apat ay magkakasama. :p
We looked like na pinagusapan namin ang style ng isusuot naming footwear. :D

Kada Meow @ Lilac Street: Casa Feliz

(Please note that Casa Feliz is not situated along Lilac St. :p
Its complete address is at the end of this post. :) )

Last Sunday, September 9, 2012, was another food trip for our Kada. This time, Margot suggested to eat at our dearly beloved city, Marikina. :D
(I don't know for Dawn since she lives farther, but she must also love Marikina City because she keeps coming back to it just to see us. Hehe.)
Margot found a blog site that features eating places in Marikina and she decided that we should give Crazy Katsu and Spartea a try.

After our eventful lunch at Crazy Katsu, we walked to Spartea. Along the way, we saw many restaurants waiting for us to try. 

One of them was Casa Feliz. :D

Visiting this pastry shop was not really part of the plan, but since we're really a curious bunch and I desperately wanted to take home something for my mother, on we went into Casa Feliz. :D

So homey, right? :D

Anika and Dawn ordered White Winter Melon (they have three winter melon varieties).
Margot tried Kiu Milk Tea.
I am not very fond of milk teas, in fact, I despise them. :))
It just doesn't suit my taste buds.
So I opted for Strawberry Green Tea with Egg Pudding. :)
Strawberry love~~ <3

Kiu Milk Tea is their signature milk tea. It has a smooth texture and a caramelized sugar taste. :) My Strawberry Green Tea has real strawberry bits! :D I am also glad that it went well with the egg pudding. :p

Margot found a blog site that features eating places in Marikina and she decided that we should give Crazy Katsu and Spartea a try.
Coincidentally, Anika has been meaning to eat at Crazy Katsu as well but in UP Teachers' Village branch. She didn't know that there is a branch at Marikina until then.
So next to Margot, Anika was second in feeling super excited. :)) 

Margot, Dawn and I met at my house.
Kuya Marlon, Margot's ever-loyal and ever-trusted transportation service to almost anywhere she wants to go to since childhood, brought us to Crazy Katsu via his Magical Tricycle. :D

We arrived rather early at around 10:50AM and found the place still closed. They open at 11:00AM during Sundays. So we had to stay outside the restaurant and bask in the heat of the sun for several minutes or so. :p
Anika came late because of a family matter (which might involved a lot of packing up and carrying things around because they were transferring to a new village/subdivision) so the three of us decided to go ahead and eat first.

The menu, is comprised of only a few dishes. They even offer only one soup and only one dessert. (And of course, I got hooked into practicing my katakana and hiragana once again. Never mind the kanji. ROFL.) We tried Tonkatsu, Gyoza, Curry Rice and Pudding. :9

.TONKATSU.
This one is a winner. d(^_^)b
Tender meat, breading thickness is just right, plus tasty sauce. :D
