Whenever I’m out with Mom, we couldn’t get away from eating merienda before going home. Lucky for us, there’s always a branch of Max’s Restaurant nearby. This restaurant is a personal favorite and Mom just couldn’t say no to me most of the time. She usually prefers eating at the food court, where there are more choices and food are very much affordable.
SM Baliuag
Soup Of The Day: Chicken Or Beef?
Mom and I had this weekly grocery shopping one afternoon and grabbed some snack at Max’s SM Baliuag. My mother would always try to convince me to eat at the food court but most of the time, she’s the one losing to me. I always get to eat where I want, mostly at Max’s Restaurant.
Lumpia Overload
My family loves eating spring rolls (lumpia). This, I think, is influenced by my mother’s good fried shanghai spring rolls and fresh spring rolls. It’s not that my mother’s spring rolls aren’t the best, but I’m always on the look for good restaurant-cooked spring rolls. I’ve tried several lumpia dishes and to be honest, there’s nothing special in most of them.
Simple Chinese Dinner For Brother’s Birthday
It was my brother’s birthday. My sisters were expecting a treat from him but nothing happened. My mother cooked some special dishes, though. My brother and I had plan of dropping by at the mall after the afternoon mass but there had been some changes in the plan. We failed to attend a mass but we’re able to go to a relative’s wake before heading to the mall, together with Mom. After a quick run in the supermarket, my brother and I decided to try David’s Tea House. We haven’t eaten in the restaurant and both of us wanted to try something new. There are no other restaurants in the mall that we hadn’t eaten yet.
Post-Shopping Merienda At Max’s
It was one of those afternoons that Mom and I would go to the mall to shop for groceries, but this time, we were with my brother. Mom was hungry even before we arrived to the supermarket but she agreed to have the merienda after we’ve bought everything we needed from SM Baliuag. Though she was eyeing to eat at the food court, my brother and I were able to convince her to eat merienda at Max’s instead. Every time my brother is coming home to the country, he always tries to eat at most twice at the restaurants just to have a taste of their foods again. This was his first visit to the restaurant since he left for Japan last year.
Revisiting Max’s For Another Dinner With Mom
Last week, I was able to find time to go to the mall with Mom. I had to buy my weekly supply of vegetables while my mother had her own shopping list. It was only a quick run in the supermarket as we got to leave home a bit late already. We also had the chance to drop by in the salon to get our hair trimmed. It was already dark when we finished everything so we both agreed to just have our dinner there. Good thing I was able to convince Mom to have it in Max’s Restaurant.
Giving Bacolod Chicken Inasal A Second Chance
If you’re following my blog, you’ve probably read my post about my sister’s birthday celebration at Bacolod Chicken Inasal at SM Baliuag. Unfortunately, it was a disaster. There were a lot of leftover foods that we decided to take home. Foods were bland and we didn’t enjoy the meal. But last Sunday, we couldn’t come up with a consensus on where we are going to eat lunch. Until we ended up entering Bacolod Chicken Inasal hoping that the restaurant could redeem itself that time.
Dinner With Mom At Max’s Restaurant
After a long time of not using our auto, we really missed it and decided to take it to the mall last Thursday for the long overdue grocery shopping. Since it was getting dark already when we finished what we have to do, Mom and I decided to just have dinner at SM Baliuag. My Mom wanted to eat at Chowking or Greenwich but I was able to convince her to dine at Max’s Restaurant for real food choices.
Long Time No Visit, Pizza Hut
It’s been a while since we last paid Pizza Hut a visit. My mother is actually not a fan of the pizza chain, that’s why it took us months before we decided to go there again. Aside from salad, pizza and pasta, my mother said that the restaurant has only limited selection of foods. Despite her sentiments on the food chain, my younger sister had been trying to convince us to have lunch there. It was only until last Sunday when everybody said yes.
Affordable Japanese Meals At Tokyo Tokyo
We’ve been eating at Tokyo Tokyo for years already but it is only until today that we got to eat there again. I could still remember the first time I’ve got to try their dishes. I was in college at that time, and my brother asked me to meet him at their SM North Edsa branch. From the name itself, it’s pretty obvious that it is a Japanese fastfood chain. For those not into Japanese cuisine like me, maybe you’ll order Beef Teriyaki for your first meal. It is the most common dish in their menu and that was exactly what I did. And so that’s how it all started. Since then, my family, from time to time, visits Tokyo Tokyo for affordable Japanese meals.
Eat. Eat. Eat.
