My Food Adventure At Aguirre Street

The idea of going to the South scares me. I think anyone would feel the same way especially if you're about to traverse an unfamiliar territory. But then again if you're like me you easily get tired going to the usual route of food places like Kapitolyo, Maginhawa and Lilac Street, the prospect of visiting an unknown place can be an enticing idea. Armed with guts and a few directional instructions from my friends, I set out to visit Aguirre Street in BF Homes.

What I Enjoyed Doing (And Eating) This Holiday Season

My prolonged absence in the blogosphere is truly unforgivable. Aside from a very tight schedule, it seems that each passing day I could only just accomplish little with the list of things that I wanted to do. But then again, you wouldn't really achieve anything if you really didn't sit right down on it and write. After all, delaying tactics will really not get you anywhere.

So I'll give you a summary of what kept me busy during the holidays. I'll try to be brief and hope you find it an interesting read, at least.

Broasted Chicken, Icy Gelato & Damn Good Mexican Food

Detailing a few good eats I've been to when I visited the Magnolia-Gilmore Street in a not too distant past.

Taking My Nanay Out To Eat

My Nanay is not the kind of person who usually eat out. Especially on restaurants she has never heard of. Quite the opposite of me who's usually on a prowl every weekend. It's my way to distress after a hectic workweek. My Nanay usually busies herself on church activities during her "me" time. If ever she would eat out with her church buddies, it's usually the fast food chains that they zeroed in to. So on the very few occasion that I'm able to convince her to go out with me, I usually bring her to restaurants that's new to her but would not alienate her at the same time. I usually chose for her restaurants that has a homey feel to it and that promises a relaxed meal.

Food Prowl in Lilac Street

Marikina is, no doubt, a treasure trove for those on the prowl for good food. I, for one, have a list of food places to visit here. But the seemingly maze-like streets and passageways could scare people like me who's directionally challenged. Good thing I have a number of friends who are well-versed with the nooks and crannies of Marikina. So now I'm quite confident that I could now pay Lilac Street a visit which I was clueless before on how to get there.
