Iam no expert in health nutrition but comparing the nutrition facts of this snack from other snacks in the market, I can say that this is waaayyyy healthier than you bag of potato chips =)...and it tastes good too! It is reminiscent of Snaku ( another snack that claims to be made from veggies as well ) but less salty and a lot crunchier.

Enjoy snacking!

*LifeChoice FRESH Veggie and Fruit Stick is available in local supermarkets*

Buffalo Wings and Things

From their original branch in Ortigas Home Depot, Buffalo Wings and Things has found another home in BF. Curious about the place, we decided to give it a try even if we see the place empty most of the time.

The food spread:

Basket of fries Php 75.00

There is nothing special about their fries...the best thing about it, is being able to eat the fries hot straight out of the fryer =))...watch your tongue though cuz it can be HOT! HOT! HOT!

1/2 Pound New York Finest Champion Buffalo Wings Php 125.00

There are other sauces to choose from but we opted for this semi-spicy blend. The order came with a pair of wings that's been cut into 4pcs. We found the sauce a bit salty but liked the spiciness. The best thing about this dish is the tenderness and juicyness of the chicken with every bite. Dips can be ordered to complement the wings ( and fries )...we got the Blue Cheese ( Php 35.00 )which was a good match for the wings.

Twin Philly Cheese Steak Php 195.00

We were so happy when we saw our order...uhm!!!! it smelled really good, beef slices overflowing, cheese sauce dripping all over. The taste? Well, it wasn't all bad..let's just say it's one of those dishes that look better than it tastes. It was just ... ok, and it was too small for the price.

I hope that they would use Italian bread or French baguette in making this sandwich ( like how it's traditionally done ) instead of the Pinoy mini hotdog buns that they used because I found the bread too sweet and it tends to overpower the flavors of the cheese steak.

We found the place a bit expensive for the kind of food they serve. Good thing we walked out the place feeling full ( who wouldn't be if you ate everything fried? hehehe!).

Service is impeccable! ( probably because we were the only customers present during that time) all our needs were attended to. Our table was immediately wiped clean each time we finished an

order.

Tostitos w/ Hint of Lime...adds another dimension to the usual tortilla chips

Plain is good but we like it paired with Tostitos Creamy Spinach Dip...the dip is also good as a spread on toasted whole wheat baguette ( for a healthier alternative)

The pair we love =)

Revisited: Almon Marina Sandwich Bar & Deli

Almon Marina was a regular weekend snack place for my cousins and I with our moms. I vividly remember we'd frequent their branch in Ayala have a sandwich or soup before hitting the mall. Since then, everybody has grown up and the Almon Marina weekends remain but a memory.

Until recently, while H was at the gym i decided to grab a snack at Almon Marina's Filinvest branch.

Food Spread:

Soup of the day ( Cream of Chicken and Mushroom Soup ) Php68.00

The soup didn't have that "made from scratch" taste. I can imagine them opening a can of instant soup and reheating it. Nonetheless, the soup tasted fine even if it was a little bit on the thick side...because of it's thick consistency it remained warm until I finished the whole bowl. Oh! after several spoonfuls I found a strand of hair in my soup...i didn't bother complaining, i was too hungry to care =)

Beef Lasagna Php115.00

I ordered this because it's the cheapest pasta on the menu ( Yeah! I'm cheap like that..=P ). The lasagna looked really yummy. Pasta was cooked al dente and the layers were dripping and oozzing with cheese. On the downside, because of the amount of cheese the pasta dish ended up on the salty side. An order is good to share for two...H ate the unfinished half after his workout.

Overall, my Almon Marina experience didn't disappoint. H and I walked out the deli with happy satisfied bellies..*burp*
