Whats your favorite book you have read?

 

Readers are plentiful: thinkers are rare.

* Harriet Martineau

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

my favorite books are fantasy especially the ones written by R.A. Salvatore, Neil Gaiman, Robert Jordan, Anne Rice, Margaret Weiss and Tracy Hickman

OK boys and girls! Dunno if this has been done before. Kakatamad to backread on the whole forum kasi.  Mods if there's a similar thread, feel free to close this one. 

 

Anyway, This thread is kinda self exlanatory, so just let 'er rip!  No holds barred on whatever kind of book you've read, or when you've read it.   

 

To kick things off...

Last Read:  Rainbow Six, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.

Currently Reading: The Da Vinci Code

Whats so special about starbucks? im wondering why starbucks is a huge succes here in the philippines inspite of our economic crisis people are still speding hundred box just to get a sip of a special coffee..

 

tell me MTC members what's so special about starbucks?

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

I used to like starbucks but when I tasted coffee bean & tea leaf's coffee, I didn't want to go back anymore. Way better than seattle's best.

Sawang-sawa na ako sa mga "established" restaurants! Problema kasi sa mga resos dito sa atin pagsumikat na ang establishment, at dumarami na ang branches, ang kalidad ng produkto nila bumabagsak na!

 

Example: Triple V restos, Gloriamaris, Hapchang, Dencio's, Gerry's Grill, tia maria, Yellow Cab...

 

Ayaw ko na rin sa mga restos na "sell out" meaning hindi authentic ang pagkain nila, o kaya'y kinokompromisa nila ang kalidad, o SUPOT lang talaga chef nila!

 

Example: Tempura, Teriyaki Boy, Saisaki, Chowking, Little Asia, Pho Hoa....

 

Kaya hanap ko na lang ngayon mga holes-in-the-wall, kung hindi mga di sikat pero masarap talaga ang food.

 

Example: schwarzwalder, Old Swiss Inn, Jerusalem, Kikufuji at yung maliit na puwesto sa former-Ultra sa Pasig na sisig ang specialty.

 

Share niyo naman dito mga ibang lugar na ganito!

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

try nyo yung almer's sa likod ng UST, masarap na mura pa

a good place for buffet will be the coffee shop of the heritage hotel.  they have a good line up of food.  u may go there either lunch or dinner.  the only downside i think is... its not that cheap.  its around P800 per person.  oops, before u give a violent reaction... MAN, ITS WORTH EVERY PESO!!!

(ps:  to the thread owner, i edited the title of the thread a bit.  hope u dont mind.  thanks.  - c3)

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Well the best place for buffets is Vegas. I mean everywhere you turn there's buffet this and buffet that. The cheapest is $2.95 and the most expensive I saw is $80. But the best one I've tried is the one in Mandalay Bay, it's around $40 excluding tip but I'm telling you fellas they got everything. From lobsters to snow crabs, tiger prawns, prime rib, pastas, pizza, 10 kinds of cheesecake. From american to european to asian. by the way, this comes with champagne too.

I like Selecta's choco nut which tastes like the good old chocnut that Lea Salonga sings about. If you want sosyal chocnut flavor, go to Uva's at Greenbelt 3 where a gallon will set you back P 800. It's also available by the cup.

Sa imported brands, I drool over Haagen Dazs Tiramisu. I don't know if Ben and Jerry's is available locally but I like all their flavors.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

I like Haagen Daz's Dulce de Leche, Ben & jerry's chunky monkey but if you want awesome ice cream, you should try coldstone creamery. They got a wide selection of flavors and add ons. They'll even mix it right it front of you and if you leave a tip they'll even sing for you. How's that for an ice cream.

WENDY's is the best tasting

HOTSHOTS ok din

BURGER KING and CARL'S JR tastes ok but identical in taste

McDo pwede na

 

Ayaw ko sa langhap-sarap...Gusto ko langsa-sarap

 

Jollibee tastes artificial...halatang maraming flavor extenders and enhancers

 

Haven't tried Brother's Burger

 

Burger Machine and Scott's are the worst tasting burgers

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

In and Out is the best I've tasted here but when I'm in the PI, nothing beats burger machine

WHICH STEAK HOUSE DO YOU LIKE?

                          AND DO YOU LIKE YOUR STEAK ? WELL DONE!

                                                                            HALF COOK

          I prefer well done - T-bone its so masarap

            and like to go to STEAK TOWN THE PLACE IS COZY AND VERY ROMANTIC. :heart:  :mtc:  :cool:

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Morton's is the best, try their cajun ribeye. It's a little bit pricey(about $50 and up) but it's worth it. Try the one in La Cienega, great atmosphere too.

Pasta has somehow lost its allure due to the emergence of the Atkins and Southbeach schools of thought. But as recent as the 90's, pasta was touted as a health food rich in fiber.

 

Dread not, my fellow pasta lovers! Give it some time, and I'm betting the next diet trends will again include this momentarily battered dish. (Like recent findings suggest that too much protein that Atkins and Southbeach prescribe is harmful to the body afterall.)

 

So pasta aficionados, share your favorite pasta dishes, and/or good pasta places to visit...

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

I like the pasta at Louise's Trattoria

mahirap nga maghanap ng matinong sandwich shop dito sa manila, puwera na siguro mga matinong deli shops ng mga ibang hotel (century at pen masarap deli nila)  dati kumakain pa ako sa oliver's dito, at sa almon marina, bago sila nagtipid sa palaman... sarap reuben sandwich doon.

 

dati kumakain ako ng italian roast pork sandwich sa south philly sa tate... hoagy bread, palaman slow-roasted pork, roasted sweet peppers, mozzarella cheese, tapos patungan mo ng horseradish. sarap!

What kind of foods touches the "senti" in you?

 

Like,

 

macaroni soup with evaporated milk - brings back my childhood memories of my mom serving this to me whenever i am sick, or

 

Master Spanish Sardines - istudyante pa lang ako noon, at isang lata nito, napapakain kaming 8 magbabarkada ... dinadaan na lang sa kanin.  Simot talaga ito pati mantika, hehehe!

 

Sarsi with egg.  paborito ng tatay at kuya ko.  If I want them to smile, bigyan ko lang sila nito.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

gusto ko pa rin yung puto seko na nabibili sa bus stations sa province

I didn't have any lunch but I had dinner at Zeke's barbecue.  Awesome ribs and sausages pare.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Well I'm going over my friends house tomorrow este today na pala. We're having a lobster and prawns fest. Sorry guys, by invite only.

ok, so there's pizza hut, shakey's, greenwich, yellow cab, don henrico's, cpk, sbarro, and a whole lot of other choices... so where can you find the best pizza in town?

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

the best pizza I've ever tasted is from Mauricio's restaurant. I forgot what kind of pizza I ordered, all I remember is that it's got tons of ingredients. prosciutto, black forest ham, wild mushrooms and a lot more. grabe my mouth is watering just thinking about it

Ngayon tanghalian ko spaghetti alang pera eh.. :cry:

o di ba, pasok na pasok sa travel and cuisine ang topic.

 

anywhere i go in the world,  i always make it a point to try out the local food and the local beer.

i'm no connoiseur but i feel it helps me have a clearer understanding of the local culture.

what beers from which places have you tried and what do you think of them?

 

Thailand - Singha beer and the locally brewed Heineken...both are ok, medyo matapang ang singha. ice cold, it is a perfect partner to all the spicy thai dishes.

 

Hongkong- Tsingtao, carlsberg, san miguel....ok naman...the san miguel of course tastes different

 

Cambodia- Ankor beer tapos meron din silang Anchor beer. para siguro yung SMB at Beer na Beer dito sa atin. pareho lang naman ang lasa.  masarap....also goes well with cambodian food....

 

Netherlands- Amstel beer, Heineken, Grolsh....they say amstel is brewed using water straight from the amstel river or mga heineken employees lang ang nagsasabi nun?  honestly i thought heineken a little too overrated after trying it there.  I think Grolsh is, by far, the best commercial beer i have ever tried.....

 

Germany-sadly wasn't able to try much at the the beer capital of the world.  just a few from some microbreweries which were sooooooo gooooood.....also tried Poulaner beer pala. ok din

 

UK-Boddington's.....oh yeah. nothing like a pint of boddington's in an authentic english pub.

 

Mexico-Corona and Dos Equis....not too sure if dos equis is brewed in mexico or in another south american country, anyone care to enlighten me?  but i like it better than corona.....i can wolf down a lot of corn tortilla soft tacos with a cold bottle of this....

 

USA....tried a lot of them like Miller, Coors, Budweiser, Beck's, and a lot more i can't remember....for a country that drinks a lot of it, their beers are not really that spectacular.....sabi nga, they're all the same, just piss-colored water s'all.....give me a san mig pale pilsen any day......

 

In Italy and France it is all wine so i did not get to try any beer while i was in those places. parang tubig lang ang wine dun eh...

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

any of you guys tried Mississippi Mudd, it's like a brown ale beer. If you can get your hands on some, try it. It's really good. They got over at Trader Joe's.

BREAKFAST - The first meal of the day, usually eaten in the morning.

 

Anong breakfast mo today? Ikaw ba ay nag-kopi na lang dear?

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

I very seldom have breakfast coz I work nights so I usually wake up around lunch time but when I do get to have breakfast I usually go this diner and order spinach and feta cheese omelette with a side of pancakes. Yum!
