my current craving..

you want one too? they are called gyros/shawarma, keema gyros to be specific.

they are really good!

i think the real gyros(from greece) is made from lamb, if i'm not mistaken. same as the shawarmas served in the middle east. (grilled tomato)

special note: i want to extend my thanks to mr. hanson go of thewi thai massage for giving me a free massage. well it was not him who gave me the massage personally.. lolz.. i was surprised one night when he sent me a PM telling me about the free massage. i couldn't believe at first. mr. go found my post about thewi when he searched google. i'm glad i made someone happy through blogging bout the things i love. :)

the thewi staff were really nice and accomodating. i can still remember the scent of their place.. really aromatic , refreshing and super clean. i lost count how many lysol cans and mr muscle cleaner sprays they have in their CR's. hehe.. i have this thing about CRs. if an establishment has a really nice and clean CR, often times, i'd like their place. :)

thanks thewi for pampering my body, mind and soul.. i'll be back soon! :)

wack-wack driving range with my college friend, meg.

MEN AT WORK

starbucks doesn't look very appealing from this angle..

everywhere you go, it seems that a lot of construction is going on along the roadsides..

is it good or bad? i just hope they finish them quickly. the sidewalks in our street is barely finished..and it's been months.. :-/?

according to the sales lady, these "elepants" were from thailand..

i frequently see this old man walking near our street every morning. it's not difficult to spot him because he dresses differently but familiar. he somewhat looks like Elvis Presley. the hair, the boots, leather pants, jacket and the shades (in our country's weather??) would never fail to catch your attention..i wonder where he goes.. is that what he wears to work? :p

i was driving by one AM when i thought of taking his picture.. you think he saw me? :p

Penang Hill offers malaysian-singaporean-thai food experience.. i can't remember all of their names though.. i'll just try my best to recall their names.. anyone's free to correct their spelling.. hehe.. :D

hainanese chicken-why the name? i dunno?

tom yum-not the best one i've tasted..i still like wok's tom yum better..

has strong lemongrass flavor..

beef horfun(?)

thai oyster omelet

nasi goreng

i've never been to malaysia but i think ive tried nasi goreng way, way back when we visited singapore..

i heard malaysian cuisine has a lot of spices and usually bombarded with curry..my friend jac said that it might be due to the fact there are many indians in malaysia.. she hates curry.. they went to malaysia a few weeks ago and recalled only eating fish balls since she couldn't take the smell and taste of curry..lol.. i, on the other hand, don't have any problem trying other cuisines.. as long as they are edible! haha.. i have this dream of going to different countries and tasting all their local food..

i missed my mom and so i texted her last night.. she visited me today.. hehe

she came all the way from Nueva Ecija.. She'll be back this week coz my brother will be celebrating his 21st bday..

We just had lunch at Napoli- Timog..

the food was great. during the entire meal both of us just kept coplimenting the food..

and that was kind of weird.. haha.. we are critics really.. but we loved it. i remember the movie ratatouille... Ego was a food critic.. he is thin and looked sickly but claimed to love food.. he's considered as the ultimate food critic and was feared by everyone..chef's lives were ruined once criticized by him. but then when he tasted Remy's(the rat), he couldnt help but praise the food.. and so he lost his credibility for being honest.... ironic..

and so back to the story.. i used my phone camera so the pix are a bit darker..

Appetizer- Napoli's Family Platter--french fries, potato cheddar balls, crab roll(?); dips: ranch and i forgot the red one.. i think its salsa.. hm.. chicken ceasar salad.. my favorite so i usually order it in restaurants

its good.. Mary Grace Cafe's ceasar salad is also good.. plus the apple cinnamon iced tea.. :D
spaghetti and meatballs... i was thinking of ordering carbonara but my mom chose this.. a bit bland for me.. but tastes healthy.. i prefer this over italliani's spag and meatballs.. price is around P250-

Napoli's special pizza.. if ill be asked to describe it, it tastes similar to shakey's manager's choice pizza.. but this one's better bec ull be fooled by the crust.. the crust is actually thin and just fully laden by ground meat!

do we look alike???? hm..?

my dad also visited me 2 days ago.. he seldom does.. one of those things that happen once every blue moon.. we ate at shaolin tea house(formerly david's tea house).. i think the business partners who owned the chain of this chinese restos had an argument and so they separated ways.. haha.. chismosa noh..

i was also glad my dad finally replaced my almost 4 year old phone! yup.. 4 years old.. but it was still working when i replaced it... i wont give it away or even sell it.. lots of sentimental value..and i think it would be worthless.. for them!:p but for me it's priceless.. (literally? haha) i think ill just tuck it away in a safe place... :p

my new buddy.. Sony Ericsson P1i- overall i think it's really nice.. i love it.. nice value.. not that expensive for a fully-packed phone.. cant see any downside though.. all ups for me. nice features..touch screen, plays music, 3.2mp camera.. pretty decent..has autofocus, compact design, has fm radio(i love listening to radio talkshows..) etc.. qwerty keypad will take me time to master.. my fat fingers have difficulty pressing the keys..all i get are jumbled letters..

i was really waiting for the sony ericsson w960i but my dad was so excited that he bought this for me. he thinks i deserve it daw.. for being a good girl.. LOL.. :D
