Food Trip: Foodventures at Maginhawa St.

Yesterday, after we picked up the souvenirs of Christoff at Bagong Pagasa, Quezon City, we decided to look for a place to eat at Maginhawa St., Sikatuna Village, Quezon City. Talagang binaybay kamo namin yung buong Maginhawa St. before we decided where to eat. Ang dami kasing choices eh!

Until we saw Kazam House of Unlimited Shawarma... The words "UNLIMITED SHAWARMA" is the selling point there. Dahil dun, decided na si hubby to eat there. Sakto rin kasi dahil he was craving for shawarma for like weeks already. Nangungulit nga sa akin to go to St. James Bazaar just to eat shawarma kaso lang di ko pinagbibigyan dahil di na nga ako kumakain ng red meat.

Anyway, here are the restaurants (or shall I call food stalls with tables and chairs) where we bought our lunch...


Good Burgers

Good Burgers sells only chicken or vegetarian burgers. Sakto ito for me kaya dito ako bumili ng food ko.

Here is their menu...

We ordered  the following:

Chick N' Chips...

I love their potato wedges. Lalo na if you dip it in their sauce. Ang sarap sarap! Kahit yung mga chikitings ko eh, they liked it. The chicken naman, I find it a little bit salty. Medyo na-over fry lang kaya medyo nag-dry. But still its good plus the fact that they used chicken breast here.


Best 3-Cheese Chicken Burger...

For the burger naman, it's really good kaso I find it bitin. I ordered the "Best" so it's priced at P145.00. Kaya for me, the size of the burger is not proportionate to the price. To picture it, I could describe the size of the bread to be the same as the large pandesal of Pan de Manila lang.


Etcetera Milk Tea and More

Ako naman, I love milk teas kaya I tried Etcetera Milk Tea and More.

Sakto din kasi they have a promo...

Here is what it looks like inside...

I ordered caramel milk tea, taro milk tea and wintermelon milk tea...

I only paid P160.00 for those 3 milk teas. Hindi ko na napalagyan ng floaters kasi hindi pa available yung pearls. The verdict: sakto lang. Nothing special. I don't know... Baka din siguro walang pearls kaya di ko masyadong na-enjoy.


Kazam House of Unli Shawarma

Eto na ang talagang hinintuan namin dahil sa "Unli Shawarma". Kami na, kami na talaga ang mahilig sa unli at eat-all-you-can! Hahaha!

The tables and chairs...

My boys...

Ang mga chikiting ko, mga naka PJs pa! Halatang binitbit lang namin ng tulog. Hahaha!

Here is their menu...

Here naman is their Unli Shawarma score board...

Ang kulit ano? Nakakatawa lang eh. Ang galing nang nag-isip nito. Hahaha!

Here is the first serving of hubby's shawarma...

Talagang dalawa dalawa eh. Hehehe!

My very happy hubby ready to lafang...

Guess how many ang naubos niya?

He finished 6. Kaunti pa ano? Hehe! Actually, he wanted more. Nanghingi pa nga siya ng 2 kaso lang hindi narinig ng waiter dahil iisa lang siyang tao ng Kazam tapos nagmamadali rin kami dahil hahabulin pa niya yung clinic schedule niya sa hapon. Kaya ayun, no choice siya, hanggang 6 lang. Sabi niya sa akin, tamang busog lang daw yung 6 na shawarma na nakain niya. Imagine that? Pero ang drawback nun is sumakit daw ang panga niya! Hahaha!

So that's our foodventures at Maginhawa St. We'll definitely go back there and try the other restos.

Happy 1st Birthday Christoff!!!

Christoff already turned 1 last December 16. Ang bilis ano? Parang kailan lang, wala siyang ginawa kundi matulog. Now, walang ginawa kundi gumapang (Yes, di pa siya naglalakad, medyo tamad lumakad eh. Hahaha!). And soon, he'll be a toddler na! Ngayon pa nga lang, ramdam ko na ang kakulitan niya. Actually, mas malikot at pilyo siya sa mga kuya niya. Hehehe.

As usual, we celebrated his birthday in our own simple way. Below are our pictures that night:

Christoff's handa...

Chicken fillet, chicken lasagna, bread sticks, assorted cupcakes, cake, rice, inihaw na bangus and upo 

The cake is from Tous les Jours. Actually, it's Papa G's birthday cake given by his staff. Birthday kasi niya nung December 15. Di na ako pinabili ni mommy since umuulan na ng cake sa bahay nila at para iwas gastos na rin. Hehe. The inihaw na bangus naman is from Pixies Sinugba. The upo is a leftover from lunch. I served it na rin pampadagdag ng handa since marami pa naman. Then the rest is from Daisee's Bakeshop. It's a package good for 8 to 12 pax. It comprises of 2 packs of bread sticks, 2 trays of lasagna, 1 tray of chicken fillet, 1 tray of rice, 12 assorted cupcakes and 3 1.5L of softdrinks. And guess what? It's only P1,999.00. Sulit right? And I tell you, panalo ang lasagna nila!!!

The birthday boy...

Well, that's our simple yet fun celebration of Christoff's first birthday. And on Sunday, it will be his grand day! He'll have a Pocoyo themed party and I'm very excited already. =)

Before I end this blog post, I like to share to you my short message to Christoff which I posted in my FB...

Celebrity Nails Home SPA

Being a full time housewife sometimes means having no "ME" time lalo na ngayon maliliit pa ang mga kiddos ko. Kaya one night, when I felt na parang tutubuan na ng kamote ang mga kuko ko sa paa, I tried the services of Celebrity Nails Home SPA.

When the staff arrived, she brought a suitcase with her...

Wondering what's inside the suitcase? Tadaaa...

Complete ang gadgets niya ano? Nakakabilib kasi pati electric kettle may dala siya. Hehe.

Ang dami rin niyang choices for the nail polish...

I availed of the Hotnails package priced at P650.00. The package includes manicure, pedicure and a foot SPA. Since hindi ako nagpapamanicure, she converted it na lang to a half hour back massage.

The service was ok naman. I can't say great kasi there's nothing special aside from the maleta thing. Ang maganda lang sa kanya is that you can have the service anytime of the day. Like for me, I had it around 10:00pm ata. Basta late na. Ang suggestion ko lang is that if you want to avail of their service, hindi dapat gabing gabi na kasi napansin ko sa gumawa sa akin, hagardo versosa na siya eh.

By the way, here are the menu of their services...

Dami nilang offers di ba? Nakakatuwa lang kasi you can do it sa house lang. If you can't get out of your house and wants to be pampered, I still recommend Celebrity Nails Home SPA. =)

I'm an Official Mommy Teacher

Finally, I can officially call myself a "Mommy Teacher"! We already enrolled the Kulilits at TMA Homeschool as Kinder 1 students.

Well, it's both nakaka-excite and nakakakaba at the same time. Nakaka-excite kasi totoo na ito. Lam niyo yun, may recording na and everything. Nakakakaba naman kasi may pressure na this time. May mga schedule na dapat imeet and may exams na kailangan ipasa. Pero, kaya namin ng mga anak ko ito! I BELIEVE!!! Hahaha!

By the way, lam niyo ba, super nakakatuwa kasi nung time na nag-enroll kami nandoon din ang Liwanag family. Sila yung kasama namin sa Bet on Your Baby. They enrolled their twins also. What a small world ano?

Here are the photo of our twins...

Ang kulit lang ng mga anak ko sa picture di ba? Pahirapan yan sa pagkuha ng picture. Binola pa namin sila na ipadadala namin kay Tita Juday yung picture para makapasok ulit sila sa Baby Dome. Kaya ganyan ang mga posing nila. Nag-ala Ninja Turtles sila. Hahaha!

Here naman are our books...

It comes with a teacher's manual naman. At least may guide ako. May mga tips kung paano ko ituturo sa mga Kulilits yung lessons.

I browsed it already. Medyo nasisindak ako kasi naprepressure ako. Ikaw ba naman ang hindi mapressure kapag sabihin sa iyo na ang assessment is after the 2nd quarter and after the 4th quarter only? Nakakakaba di ba? Pero, again, I BELIEVE!!! Kaya namin yan! =)

Anyway, last Saturday, we attended the first activity of TMA Homeschool which is their Christmas Party. Their theme is Christmas Through the Ages. Each level of homeschoolers performed.

Here are some of the pictures of the homeschoolers who performed...

Ang cu-cute nila ano? Aside from being cute, ang gagaling nila and performance level talaga sila lalo na yung mga higher level na homeschoolers. I can't wait na sumali ang mga Kulilits sa mga programs na gaya nito. I'm very sure na stage mom na stage mom ang peg ko pagdating ng araw na yun. Hahaha!

Aside from the homeschoolers, the TMA Homeschool staff and volunteers also performed...

O di ba, performance level din sila?

Super happy ako since we're part of another community which is the TMA Homeschool. I'm sure marami na naman akong makikilala and matututunan sa community na ito.

That's it! Wait and see na lang sa aming homeschooling adventures... =)
