Random Eats 1 by Cheftonio

I am attending 1 of Anton's classes and he mentioned that they eat out 4 or more times a week. I can actually relate because we eat out 5 or more times a week. With that, I have tons of random food shots taken from my mobile phone since I can't always bring my heavy camera with me whenever we go out to eat.

So, for my food blog, I'm going to post a series of random eats (food shots) and put a short description below on where that place is located, how that dish was served to us (hot or cold), tastes, feels like inside my mouth and of course, if I think that it was good or not.

This is my first installation of Random Eats by Cheftonio
Pesto Pasta from Java Man

This pasta is from Java man, located near Starbucks inside The Enterprise Center in Ayala Corner Paseo De Roxas. Everytime I go to TEC, I eat there and I order that. Served to me like it was just preheated BUT, I still like it because I love pesto pastas (disclaimer). Also, as you can see, it's not very dry thus, it is wet (of course!).

My rating: 4 stars!

Lechon Cebu from Cebu

It was just this year that I get to taste what all the people are talking about. They all say that lechon from Cebu is the best of all lechons here in the Philippines (or the world maybe?). It was not that crispy and hot when I ate this because this party was held in Manila. The lechon landed late because it was hand-carried and the person rode Cebu Pacific!

My rating: 4 stars!

Ruffles and Lays

This is from almost anywhere! I just posted it because it has free KFC hotshots :) I'm going to claim mine soon because promo ends November 15, 2009!

My rating: 4 stars for the chips and 2.5 stars for the Hotshots (I don't like KFC much)

Home-made Roasted Chicken

Nothing beats home-made, agree? Well, this one wasn't made by my mom. It was roasted by my younger brother. As you can see, we didn't use any oil to cook that shiny chicken. Roasting chicken slowly has a different effect and gives you a different experience when eating it. Soft, juicy and flavorful in every bite!

My rating: 5 stars!

Imported Blueberry Egg Tart from KFC in China

Another food that was imported. I consumed this a day or two after it arrived here in the Philippines. It was already refrigerated and I love cold egg tarts. A mix of not-so-sour taste plus the rich taste of egg filling PLUS, the crunchy crust that not even lordstows here can compete with.

My rating: 5 stars!

I forgot what this was but the one on the right is an eel

Gloria Maris in Roxas Blvd has one of the best foods when compared to their other branches (Greenhills branch is also good). The eel has plenty of fish bones as expected but, is also very flavorful. It has a salty-sweet taste that tingles your tongue. Warning! If you are over 40, please avoid eating eel. This food is very high in cholesterol.

My rating: 4 stars!

Red Mango Frozen Yogurt
http://img689.imageshack.us/img689/6250/philippinediningfoodpho.jpg
Trinoma branch besides Toys ' R ' us. This is the only frozen yogurt I eat because I do not like my yogurt sour. I know that the real thing is sour but, that is the reason why I don't eat the real thing.

My rating: 4 stars!

Red Mango Kiwi Shake
http://img94.imageshack.us/img94/6250/philippinediningfoodpho.jpg
Warning! This drink is no good. Reminder to self: Go to Red Mango to eat frozen yogurt. Not drink shakes! It was so bad I didn't even bother taking a 3rd sip! It has too many seeds and the taste is just bad.

My rating: 0.000001 star!

Delifrance Lasagna
http://img94.imageshack.us/img94/2923/philippinediningfoodphov.jpg
I was waiting for a client and me and my brother decided to eat in DeliFrance Theatremall because we miss eating lasagna. Nothing special really with this Lasagna. Also, it tasted and looked like it was cook that morning and was just preheated using the microwave. The bread stick was oily and when you bite the bread, oil flows to your tongue. Bad, eh?

My rating: 1.5 star!

So, there you have it. My first batch of random eats. I need to exercise more to compensate the bad lifestyle I am contributing to myself!
