The renewal center in Farmers Plaza has already transferred, so after our merienda, we headed to SM Megamall because we will be having dinner there and there's also a renewal center there.


We got to the mall a little after 4pm only to find out that the renewal center has also transferred. And because we were still too early for our dinner reservation, and as per Jaoey's suggestion, we decided to kill time in the arcade.

I know I haven't been that active in updating this blog as often, and it's been a while since I last got invited over to a food event, so I was more than delighted when I got an email of an invite to another food launch a couple of weeks back.


Our family loves to eat and although we do not usually dine out, we've been to a lot of buffets already. Our most recent buffet dining experience was the best for all of us except for my dad. Knowing my dad who has palates that are very hard to please, he only raves about one buffet restaurant, DADS buffet, that is.

After almost 2 days of clear-liquid-only diet, I finally got to eat! Pigged out earlier with Gia and Jeff after my Colonoscopy at Mega Clinic.

Since we can't decide what to have for lunch, we all agreed to dine at the food court.

We first stopped at Bodhi Vegetarian Health Foods. We had a hard time in choosing what to have, until we finally decided to just check out other food stalls, but I wanted to try the veggie meat barbecue so we had an one order of it. We didn't like the barbecue, the tofu was ok but the sweet asado-like marinade just didn't appeal to our tastes.

Veggie Meat Barbecue - Php 55 (2 sticks)

Went around and saw Balai Ilocos. Gia and I were delighted when we saw that they serve Ilocos Empanada. The empanada was like that of Ilocos Empanada in Katipunan, with mongo sprouts, and egg, but Balai Ilocos' empanada had sweet longanisa (which I didn't like). Gia and Jeff found it so tasty though.

Ilocos Empanada - Php 35 each

We came across Sisig Hooray and finally knew what we wanted for lunch. :p This sinful pork sisig is just soooo good! It was oily though, but we all didn't mind. Oh cholesterol! Haha! :p

Pork Sisig Barkada - Php 135

I was still feeling groggy from the IV sedation, but it didn't stop me from pigging out with my piggin' out buddies haha!

Just to set it straight, I only ate one rice :p

My Piggin' Out Buddies: Jeff and Gia

I wasn't able to eat for almost 2 days and I think it won't hurt if I delayed the doctor's advice for today and just start with having high fiber diet (or even going vegan) tomorrow. And besides, since tomorrow's a Saturday, I'll get to run and do aerobics with my mom. :p

...I got to eat at World Chicken again! I also got to go out on a food trip again! But this time, with my food-trip-buddy-for-the-mean-time, my sister Gia. :p

Was off from work because of headache and abdominal pains so I was accompanied by Gia to Clinica Manila in SM Megamall last Monday for my check up. We shopped around after the checkup and headed to the food court in time for merienda.

If you've been reading my posts, I'm sure you already know how World Chicken has become one of my favorites because of Mark, and how we both love having food trips together. :) Since Mark left, last Monday was my first time to eat at World Chicken again, and my first time to go out on a food trip again after 6 months!

And of course, I got what I used to order when Mark was still here.

Grilled Chicken Fillet with Gravy, Fettuccine Al Tono and Potato Salad - Php 152

Since it's Gia's first time to try World Chicken, she also chose to get what I got.

World Chicken First-Timer :p

Gia enjoyed her meal as much as I did, she was just not able to finish everything because we already had this mouth-watering roast beef wrap minutes before we headed to World Chicken. :p

Let me just say that this shawarma was just so delish! The beef slices were tender, the pita bread and veggies were all fresh, and the creamy cheese sauce, oh! And now I'm craving for it! For me Fireshack's is the best shawarma ever! *drools*

Fireshack Shawarma - Php 45

We also got these Kit Kat chocolate bars for free (2 Kit Kat chocolate bars for every Php200 worth of treats at the food court). :D


We both enjoyed our merienda. Not only are World Chicken and Fireshack Shawarma such delicious treats, they actually made me miss Mark even more! Can't wait for my original food trip buddy to be back home! :p
