What we ordered at La Chinesca in BGC 🌮
(super late post)

In our foodie quest to find the best birria tacos, recos from foodie friends led us to La Chinesca, a modern taqueria / Mexican resto. We had high expectations & we’re so happy they didn’t disappoint.

Here’s a quick look at what we ordered:
- Wagyu Suadero
- Carne Asada
- Chicharron
- Quesabirria
- Carnitas
- Campechano
- Beef Tostada
- Guacamole
- Horchata & Mexican Coke in a bottle

Our tacos came with their salsa roja, salsa verde & chipotle hot sauce.

Stay tuned for our vlog/video review! 😊

Mister Kabab - one of our go-to restaurants!

What’s your usual order at Mister Kabab? 🤔

Eto yung laging order namin:
- Mixed Special Kabab (beef & chicken, double ground)
- Hummus (nabubusog kami agad dito 😅)
- Sizzling Keema (minsan, with eggplant)
- Meaty Pizza (usually for takeout)
- Shawarma (yung ikaw ang maga-assemble 😁)
- Yoghurt shake!!!
- Garlic sauce (we usually order a bottle for takeout din 😁)

We love their West Ave. branch kasi any time na mapag-tripan namin or nagka-craving, we can go there since it’s open 24/7.

We’ve also tried different branches ng Mister Kabab (yung sa may NAIA, sa mall & sa Makati) pero yung West Ave. branch pa rin talaga binabalikan namin. 🥹

KFC’s new Original Recipe Tenders & dips, plus the Double Down is Back!!

We've been waiting for KFC to come up with something like Raising Cane's, and they finally did it!

These are Original Recipe Tenders -- they're made with REAL chicken talaga, like boneless chicken breast, and they're quite juicy.

We tried all 4 dips: Finger Lickin' Good (FLG), Buffalo Ranch, Sticky Chicky, & Smoky BBQ. Plus perfect din sya with their gravy!

We ordered extra servings ng dips nila para mas Raising Cane's feels with the dipping.

Ranking the dips:
- Tie ang FLG & gravy
- Then Sticky Chicky, Smoky BBQ & last yung Buffalo Ranch pero we loved its yummy spicy kick.

They also have Cali Maki Tenders Twister na we think is better kasi you get chicken meat in every bite.

Oh, & their Original Recipe & Zinger Double-Down sandwiches are back!

Stay tuned for our quick video review -- it's coming up!

Dunkin' Mochi Donuts vs Mister Donut Pon De Ring vs CHIDO PH Mochi Donuts!

We're reviewing & comparing the newest Dunkin' Mochi Donuts with the classic Mister Donut Pon De Ring and the premium Hawaiian-style Chido Donuts from Marikina/BGC.

We love mochi donuts or these Japanese-inspired pull-apart donuts, so we had to find out which one we'll like the best in terms of chewiness, texture, and flavors.

Which one have you tried na? Or baka may alam pa kayong ibang mochi donut na we need to try? Share nyo naman in the comments below! 👇
