Introduction
I had a date with my dear friend Chriza at Trinoma last Monday November 29, 2010. She need to buy gift for her exchange gift in their Christmas party. I agreed to accompany with a condition that we should have food-trip! heehee~

The one in stripes is me and the other one wearing the indigo top is Chriza.

By the way, Char is also with us! But she had to do an important matter so we had to separate.

On our way searching gifts for these two boys we tried...

In real life here is magtataho and sorbetero looks like.

(from top left clockwise: magtataho, taho, sorbetes, sorbetero)

FYI

• Magtataho - One who sells Taho.
• Taho - Fresh tofu with sago and arnibal.
• Sago - made from starch in small circle shapes when boiled in water it becomes edible.
• Arnibal - Sugar syrup.
• Sorbetero - One who sells sorbetes or dirty ice cream as they called it.
• Sorbetes or Dirty Ice Cream - Ice cream which is coconut milk is used instead of dairy milk with touch of Filipino flavors such as cheese, buko, cookies&cream, strawberry, ube, etc.

We had fun shopping, but too bad we did not find a nice green top for Chriza.

Chapter Two 
Food Trip - Crazy Crepes

We like sweets.
For a change, we went to "no cone zone"
and we met the Crazy Crepes!

FYI

• Crepes - very thin pancake with variety of fillings like cream, ice cream, fruits, chocolate, nuts, etc.

How do they make this?

1. They make these thin pancakes with a flat circular frying pan.
2. Then they will put the fillings you chose.
3. It will be rolled like a cone.
4. TADA its done!
   

How about the taste?

See those happy faces? haha

Sweet and creammmmy! yumm-yumm! Ice cream, whipped cream, fresh fruits, chocolate, nuts and the thin pancake taste delicious all together. I say its a perfect dessert! :)

And for drinks, we went to Starbucks.

Yogurt

Introduction:
What is Yogurt?

According to Wikipedia, Yogurt is a dairy product produced by bacterial fermentation of milk. Fermentation of lactose produces lactic acid, which acts on milk protein to give yoghurt its texture and its characteristic tang.
The milk is heated to about 80 °C to kill any undesirable bacteria and to change the milk proteins so that they set together rather than form curds. It is then cooled to about 45 °C. The bacteria culture is added, and this temperature is maintained for 4 to 7 hours for fermentation.

It has many nutritional benefits that is good for the diet. It contains Lactobacillus, good bacterias that is good for digestion.
Yogurt is naturally sour, but nowadays they put flavors to make it more tastier.

(this is not me!)

The first time I ate yogurt is when I'm a little girl at seven years old...
as far as I remember, It was a Nestle yogurt strawberry flavor.
As for a child who likes sweets, it taste awful.
It is sour and have tangy texture. I really don't like it.

Yesterday, we went to the grocery. On the dairy section I saw the Nestle yogurt, it has different flavors than before. I wanted to taste one again and to know what will my reaction be (because I hated yogurt because of the awful taste it made in my childhood.)

It has many flavors to choose from but I bought Nestle Melon Nata.

Billion live yogurt culture? I think my tummy will like this :)



When we got home,
I got my spoon,
Opened the cup,
scoop a little,
and then,
AAMmm... hmmm...

It taste quite good.

And I like the Nata with melon :) it is not sour but it still have tang texture.
And it feels so healthy eating yogurt because of its healthy benefits.

Yes, it stinks like damn.

Our written report!
(I drew this.. wew.)

After all, we were starved and we ate at the canteen..

Ceasar's favorite snack is the "Jjampong" noodles from Lucky Me

He usually starts off very fresh and clean (i dont know if this is the right 

term but.. oh well!)

And ends up super sweaty 'coz of the Jjampong's spicy-ness.. :))

(Left) Joyce ate biscuits and (Right) I ate Ensaymada -- w/c is not shown in the picture (Filipino term for bread filled with cheese) and Nescafe Freeze for drink. We also shared the Baked Macaroni.. :) Yum!

Cherie ate Pillows and drink C2. (too much detailing, i think)

Now, we're full :)

xoxo.

Note: Sorry for the lazy blogging. The blog bug's effect wear off.. Hahaha. Kidding. I'm just busy with all the schoolworks and stuff. I promise I'll make it up to you guys, though. Nina will fill up while I'm gone. :D That's the advantage of having two authors. <3 I LOVE my Co-Author/Bestfriend. :) *Giggles* Well, gotta take a bath now. So toodles! >;P
