Coin Campaign (Do Exchange)

Does anybody here who love to keep 5cents, 10cents and 25cents?

Most of us, (me as a guilty one) instead of using those coins for paying our bills we usually keep them (or worst scenario is we ignore them) while others donate them to NGOs, Bantay Bata and the likes.

Good news is that, in Waltermart they have this Coin Campaign. You can exchange your coin with them and get incentives. Using those three mentioned coins, you can earn 5% or 1Php for minimum of 20Php worth of coins.  Wow! That’s truly worth the exchange!

I’ve tried it with my 60pesos coins (combination of 5cents, 10cents and 25cents). I have them exchanged in Waltermart Guiguinto. And I got 63 pesos in return (not bad at all, imagine I got 3 pesos of incentives).

Now, I do encourage everyone who keeps coins to either donate them or have them exchanged instead of just keeping them.

Remember that even the BSP encourages us to re-circulate the coins.

Green Tea flavored Samanco

Though it's chilly right now because of the storm,  who wouldn't want a sweet treat for a tooty bite.  Samanco released their Green-tean flavored ice cream sandwich and it's now officially in the Philippines.From a fan of Samanco ice creams,  indeed!  I can say that it's awesome. Well, most of us might say that this type of ice cream sandwich is another good version of bungeoppang in Korea, wherein red bean paste is the common fillings. Here in this ice cream sandwich, it has red beans too BUT with green tea flavored ice cream.  For those who are fond of green tea but would love to try the ice cream version of it,  I think this Samanco ice cream is a must try. I bought it here in the Philippines for only Php50. It is also similar to Taiyaki in Japan,  a japanese fish-shaped cake.

Enjoying in Vikings SM North Edsa

My partner and I were on a hunt for a good buffet restaurant in Manila.  Since we never tried Vikings before,  we decided to go and check the place.  We've made reservations prior to the actual date as we assumed that there will be tons of people. That day is the birthday of my partner so we grabbed the opportunity for the Birthday Celebrant discount. We went there at 11AM, and they told us that we can start eating. The place was actually spacious and ambience was great.  They have their own bathroom if you are curious to know. Foods come from varieties.  Chinese,  Japanese,  French cuisine, Filipino dishes and many more.  Desserts were very tasty and satisfying.  I also like the idea of singing a happy birthday song and giving cakes for the birthday celebrants.   Customer services were fine and they've attended to our needs very nicely.  We paid for PHP774.90 only,  since my partner was free from paying coz it was his birthday. . For me,  the foods were good since they have different dishes plus the fact that it's a buffet and we stayed for almost 3hrs,  men!  Truly worth the price!

Ok sa Okoy!

Ok, like serkele, I also got the chance to taste the very special Okoy of Gloria Romero's catering services in Baliuag, Bulacan. Yes? you read it right! Ms. Gloria Romero, the very famous actress in the Philippines. It so happened that our tour operator is her nephew.

 Like any other Okoy it is made up of shrimps, cornstarch, egg, salt and pepper to taste and some veggies like squash and carrot. I think what makes this special is the sauce and how they cooked it. But we might not know, maybe there was some other special ingredient in it.:) And yeah, it is a REALLY a must try dish! Hooray for Okoy!

"Serkele, a special dinuguan"

   WOA! It so happened that this "serkele dish" was my first post in this blog, because of the title eye blog EAT!.. I had this on our Bulacan tour in Baliuag, Bulacan. Well actually, at first I'm a bit hesitant to eat this,  since I don't even know what it is and how to EAT this. Ok, for some people out there who were puzzled when you saw this picture, we call it SERKELE. It's the same with dinuguan. Yes! blood is the main ingredient here, a cow's blood. Filipinos use the blood of pig to make dinuguan, but serkele uses the cow's blood and beef as for its meat. Honestly, it'sreally hard for me to eat this dish at first but I'am proud that at least once in my life I got the chance to taste it. I'll recommend this to those persons who want to try authentic food and who love exotic dishes. You should try this foodies!
