First Food!

Okay, I'm not really a food blogger; but since I'm a foodie at heart, I will try to post some of my gastronomic adventures here in my blog haha! 

First up would be my family's all-time favorite gourmet resto! 

Actually, this resto holds a lot of memories. Take this one for example: it is where my mom and dad had their first date! Haha! Dad said that the first branch of House of Minis was in Greenhills (was able to eat there when I was young; I'm just not sure if it's still there up to now); but lately, they only cater to foodcourts except for the one in Pasig. 

Whenever we want to eat out, specially when we are craving for MEAT,this is the first restaurant that comes into our minds! So whether, it's an anniversary,valentine's day, family day, or even just Sunday (hehe) this is our ultimate go-to-resto! 

In House of Minis, you'll really get your money's worth! They serve a full-course meal in here, and it's so good that even the appetizer could count as the main course haha! I would have to say that their steaks really are the best! Whether it's tenderloin, sirloin, or filet mignon, it's simply just the best!

Enjoy the pics! Haha!

( mmmmm soup!)

( their bread is so good that my mom's bestfriend from the states cannot forget them until now!)

( Filet Mignon)

(Mom's fave: Golden Fried Prawn)

(They also serve pinoy foods like sizzling sisig!)

( Dessert: you can choose among coffee, tea, or ice cream)

Yum!! That's it! If you have time, do visit them at this address:

Christmas 2011: ZOOBIC

Follow my blog with Bloglovin

Oh my Goodness! I can't believe I'm only posting this now...Anyway,So my family only go to the same places every yuletide season. Actually, It's only either Baguio City or Subic; and last 2011, SUBIC WON! However, this year, we only went there for a day just so the family will be able to go out of town just like what we are used to every year. 

We've decided to go to Zoobic just like in 2010. 

The travel time from our place to Subic is only around 2 1/2 hours to 3 hours. We left at 5am and arrived there at around 7 or 8 in the morning. We first had breakfast, then proceeded to Zoobic just as planned.

When you get inside Zoobic Safari, you will first be having a group picture which will be taken FOR FREE; but the PICTURE, you have to pay. Hahaha! After that,you will be grouped according to the people that you're with (We were called the"Althemar" Group..hehe...). You will have an orientation, and after that the walking tour (which  would take up around 2 hours)would then begin.

When we went there last year, the animals were sort of placed differently. They must have re-arranged the animals already. 

Here are the pics! =)

After the first part of the tour, the next part would be the TIGER SAFARI, where you will ride in a caged jeepney and enter in a close-fenced area where tigers are freely roaming around. You will be given a choice to ride the TRAM (fee is 50 peses per person), or you can also bring your own car. (We've decided to ride in our own car ). You will ride in a jeepney either containing only your group (when you are many) or be joined by another group. You will be asked if you would like to have the tiger fed with a chicken which would cost 200php. The thrill this time, by the way, was not as much as  the last time we were there. Probably because this time, we already know what would happen, and the tigers were a bit tamed (probably because they have already been fed).

 (Oxie cried beacuse he said that he wanted to ride the "train"; so he and his nanay got to ride on it on the way back..and for free! hahaha!)

After the Tiger Safari, the next is the Aetas Trail, where the natives will be performing their tribal dance. Okay, a little spoiler: they will have a "surprising" performance, which again did not surprise us that much anymore. But nevertheless, the aetas were very great! =)

The last part is the Croco Loco part, where you can also feed the crocodiles. They are very strong by the way! whew! WILD!

That wraps up my post about my Christmas last year. Christmas is definitely the season to be JOLLY and HAPPY...Advance Merry Christmas Everyone! =)
