Food Review: Urban Street, World's Best Street Food

One rainy morning, I was early for work and rode by Lilac Street in Marikina. I passed by Urban Street, was curious, and of course, tried it.

Here's the view inside.

Menu was simple yet attractive. Isaw, Kwek kwek, Pork BBW, Thai Pok Pok Chicken Wings, to name a few. Since it is rainy, I tried Churros with Chocolate Sauce and had their Thai Iced Tea converted to a hot one. Okay, I admit I have a sweet tooth, thus, choosing Churros. :)

Here's what I got:

These churros are yummy. Unlike others that I have tried before, they are thick. They served it on the hot side, too, and I loved it. The chocolate sauce just have the right consistency. Not too thick, not too thin. I hate when the dips are so thin that it falls off from the churros.
Price: P90

The Thai Milk Tea tasted just right as well. Not too sweet. I wished they served it hotter, though. But, still good. :)

Price: P75









While writing this blog, I needed more energy booster. I then ordered the House Iced Tea.

House Iced Tea priced at P75.











The ambiance is cozy. Soft music is playing in the background. The staff are friendly, smiles at you when your eyes meet, and are very courteous, too. And they are not those types who goof around with each other which is sometimes very annoying to customers. They are very good in suggesting orders, too. I was initially looking for a hot drink, so they offered a Lipton Iced Tea or their Thai Iced Tea, but will be served hot, instead. Presentation of the food is nice, too. They used small wooden chopping board as trays, which I find unique.

Overall, I give this place two thumbs up. I will definitely be coming back if I want some quiet time. I will also bring hubby and kids since they love street food. Isaw, kwek kwek and the likes being offered here will surely be appealing to them.

Well, once people discovers this place, too, it will definitely be a different story. I hope those who will hang out here won't be the rowdy or noisy type.

My Very First DIY Baby Clothes

Being a mom opens new windows of arts, crafts, cooking and other DIY-ing. One of which I recently became interested was sewing, influenced with my love of cloth diapers. I came across a facebook group on cloth diaper sewing. Last December, I wanted a sewing machine a Christmas gift. A second hand one will do for ne since I am just beginning. So, hubby became my santa and bought me this!

Now, I am proud to present my very first cloth diaper and an upcycled pajamas from hubby's old shirt. 

For the pajamas, credits to http://www.makeit-loveit.com/2011/09/super-simple-leggings-only-2-fabric-pieces.html for the inspiration. Thanks fellow, mom! :)

So, that's it. I am loking forward to putting my brother sewing machine into more uses. :)

Review: Jungle Heat Online Game

Way back in college, I have always been a gamer. I spent my school allowance on Counter Strike, Red Alert and Yuri's Revenge, to name a few. Recently, I've been playing Clash of Clans in iOS. Then, a friend recommended Jungle Heat.

Jungle Heat has the same concept and almost the same platform with COC (Clash of Clans): a strategy game where you create your base, build your defenses, train your offenses, join a clan, and participate in wars or tournaments. Both have in-purchases that is very appealing to those who have low EQ. 

So far, I am enjoying both, but Jungle Heat's developer has yet to develop and fix some bugs. It is very disappointing to be disconnected from the server after raiding another base successfully. 

Notice the top post showing that I lost, yet I have deployed so many troops. I know some won't understand, but gamers like me would know that it would be impossible to let go of such number of forces, but you get to raid zero resources. What's worse is, you lose the troops. So, that means, the amount (oil) you spent in building your offensive troops will be deducted from your resources. That's a double wham! 

Having said that, I just hope that My.com will soon be able to fix this bug, among other bugs. Although I admit that I would still continue playing, hoping that it will turn out better soon. :)

****UPDATE****
July 9, 2015 - Boredom won over me. I uninstalled this game and continued to play Clash of Clans.
