Ron's Chicken and Botoy's

It was dinner time when I craved for "Liempo" (roasted pork belly.) It has always been my favourite. So I asked my brother to buy some at Pierto, Cagayan de Oro city. He bought the Liempo at "Ron's Chicken." I was asking him to buy from Botoys but he said they were out of stock so he bought it at Ron's instead.

I was really glad how it turned out because when I tasted the Liempo, it was delicious as the way I wanted it to be. The skin was crispy, I can tell it's fresh and from a young pig for its tenderness. I love how really juicy the meat was too!

A few days after I had the Liempo from Ron's Chicken, I managed to buy it from Botoy's at late at night. I craved for Botoy's because for me, they've got the best Liempo.

When I tasted some however, it didn't turn out to be good as I remembered it. I remembered so well that Botoy's Liempo was particularly delicious so I thought that maybe I just had no luck that time. The Liempo I had has no taste at all. I had to rely on my soy sauce because I couldn't taste anything. The skin however, was crisper than Ron's Chicken. I got the feeling  that the cook seemed to forgot putting flavouring on the Liempo because I know from experience that their Liempo  is the best one I've ever tasted. I am not discourage to buy another one from them but I should remind myself to ask and be guaranteed that they didn't make mistake on preparing it. You should all try Ron's and Botoy's Liempo with the same price of ₱120. Good 3-4 persons.

Canadian Mountie Bear

When Steve visited me here in the Philippines for the 2nd time, one of the gifts he gave me was a black stuffed bear in a Canadian Mountie uniform. When he handed it to me, it made me grin immediately because it was adorable!

Here is the standing position of the stuffed bear. The red uniform its wearing was very thick.

Rough Rider Jeans

I went to Gaisano Mall and found out that they were having a 50% off sale for RRJ clothes. It was lucky day for me as it happened to be my payday. I lept at the opportunity and tried to choose jeans that would suit me. None of the long pants fit me, I tried to look for almost all the long pants that  they displayed but most of them were too big or too long for me. Then, I saw the pedal jeans that fits me well. I had no intention on buying pedal jeans but it's the only thing that fits me so I bought it instead.

What I find great about these jeans is that it fits me very well from my waist to my legs and calves. The original price of this was ₱900 but with 50% off, its now only ₱450.

Potato Corner - My Favourite Fries

Today, I'm sharing with you guys my favourite French Fries in the world! It's called "Potato Corner." I'm so addicted to it lately because the fries have 3 different flavours and they are from fresh potatoes. So far, I always order the "sour cream" flavour. There hasn't been a week that I didn't think about it and whenever I went down town  I always stop by at their stall to buy some. The staff were amazingly fast and they never burn my potato fries.

This was taken from my cellphone. Sorry that it isn't too clear. I took this picture at their limketkai branch which where I  always go for shopping. A lot of people may think it's weird to take a picture of a simple potato fries stall but for me, I don't care as long as I can share a lot of stuff in my blog.

I ordered the trio flavour fries in order for you to see how their 3 flavour options looks like. The first fries from the left is my favourite sour cream, in the middle is the barbecue, and lastly, the cheese flavour. I have to advise you not to choose the trio fries because the flavours don't blend well together. I wasn't a fan with the cheese one because there was too much cheese to enjoy it for long. I can suggest sour cream or Barbecue flavour if you want to try it out!

Here is the picture of the Potato Corner menu and prices. You can all see the exact prices for different sizes you can choose from. I never tied Giga fries size, maybe I will someday while watching a movie on the cinema.

I love this pic so much! I remember I showed this kind of pic to Steve from my google search and he said "the potato looks happy." I laughed so hard at that because I imagined potatoes to be fried and they made their potato model looked happy! That's why before I bought my potato fries, I made sure to take a picture of the Happy Potato.

Chicken Proben

Me and my friend bought some chicken proben and rice at one of the food vendors at the side of Mc Arthur park, Cagayan de Oro City. They had lots of costumers gathered around their stall and there was no question why - they make delicious chicken proben there!

At first, I was shy to ask for the seller's permission if I could take a picture of their Chicken Proben. There were too many people there and I would be the only one taking pictures of it. But for the sake of my love for blogging, I asked the food vendor and he was happy to allow me taking picture shots. I was the one who even rearranged the skewed proben to make them look presentable in the pictures.

This is the picture of the chicken proben already dipped in a sweet chilli sauce. Eat it with rice and your day is complete! The proben costs only ₱5.00 per stick as well as the rice in coco leaves(puso.)

Looking back at this picture and it makes me want to have some again.

Green Canadian Hoodie

When Steve first visited here in the Philippines, he gave me a green hoodie for a gift. I was expecting it since he told me beforehand that he bought a hoodie for a present on our first time meeting. The fabric of the hoodie was made from cotton and it felt very soft when I caressed it in my hand. The astounding thing about it was that Steve was able to choose the right size for me! I mean really,  he was even impressed of his choice because when I wore it, it was a perfect fit!

If you're wondering why he chose green, it's due to the fact that my favourite colour is "pale green." I know that this jacket seems like dark green and at the same time,  yellow green.. It's just that Steve wasn't able to find my ideal "pale green" colour. If you're wondering how exactly my favourite colour looks like, then click "here."

This is the picture of the left sleeve. What's neat is that Steve got this jacket as an official Canadian Olympic Apparel for the Olympic winter games next year! When I learned about that, I love my hoodie even MORE!

And here is the picture of the tag. This hoodie costs 80 dollars and made with  very good quality. I can tell that it will certainly last. :)
