Lunch at Sunshine Kitchen

Our family had lunch at Sunshine Kitchen yesterday.  I first heard about this place from Patty Laurel's blog and I made a mental note to check it out in the future.  Then sometime in May they had a 50% off Groupon deal, which was just perfect.  I was soooo glad I checked the expiration date of my vouchers last Friday because this one almost expired (August 6).

We were there at 11AM and most, if not all, of the tables already reserved.  Make sure you call for reservations before coming here.  The place is quite small and getting popular so you might get turned away, like some customers last Sunday.


Our voucher was good for 6 people but there were only 4 of us, including yaya and Neil, who don't eat much.  Naturally, most of the food became dinner fare at home.

Appetizer was shrimp + squid + pesto.  Forgot the official name.

Southern style fried chicken, primarily for Neil because his favorite is anything "rice and chicken."

Famous 6-hr Slow Roast Porchetta. So good, especially the fat.=)  These were perfect with the custom-made sawsawan.

Sunshine pizza. The waiter recommended Diablo but we went with this which was also good.

Key lime ice cream for dessert.  Sarap!

We enjoyed everything!  Food tasted great and Rich thankfully agreed as well.  I am the one usually checking out these deals and he is typically suspicious (baka di daw masarap) so I feel personally responsible that the food be good.  This is also why I don't just buy vouchers unless I've read favorable reviews from my trusted blogs.=)  The prices were reasonable, too.  We used the 50% off voucher but even if we paid full price, it's still worth it.

Happy tummies

Filipino Friday 3: Reading Habits and Book Formats

Reading Habits and Book Formats . Where and how do you read? Can you read anywhere and everywhere, or do you need a certain place/mood/state of mind to get reading? Do you read more in the morning or at night or any minute that you can? Where and how do you usually read? Are you exclusively for print, or do you go for ebooks more than print? Have you ever tried audiobooks? I am old school.  Even as most books now have digital versions, I still prefer the physical, ink-on-paper variety.  I like holding a real book, flipping the pages and being able to see my progress based on the thickness of read/unread pages.  Somehow, I feel more engaged and focused reading a physical book vs. from a gadget. I very rarely reread books so most of my collection just sit on the shelf after I'm done with them.  I feel it's a waste of precious trees if they are not shared with others.  So I started a Google doc at work where the team can list down their collections and anybod...

Trivia and Reading

Image
I am currently reading The Happiness Project by Gretchen Rubin and I am inspired.  It’s about the author’s year-long quest to be happier.  It’s purposeful and practical and has lot of tips that I can apply or have started doing. Rubin focused on different areas every month and for May, it was Be Serious About Play.  The author was trying to go back to activities she enjoyed as a child. This led me to also think about a favorite childhood pastime, which was collecting trivia.  The Philippine Daily Inquirer used to run a trivia section by Bong Barrameda and I would religiously cut and paste them onto scratch papers, which I would then collate and read again and again.  Nerd zone! Not only that, I also kept a trivia notebook where I researched and wrote down interesting information like areas of study, capital cities, historical figures, scientists and discoveries, everything!  That was fun for me.  I was about to say they were useless info, ...

Moonwalking with Einstein by Joshua Foer

Image
There is something to be said for collective recommendations like bestsellers list.  I found this title on such list at Fully Booked, read a few pages and decided to buy it.  I was intrigued by the theme of the book which is memory, specifically, how the author started as a journalist covering the US Memory Championships and ended up as a contender in the finals of the same competition one year later. It claims that with proper training, one's memory can be improved to be at par with the top mental athletes of the world.  Memory training has become an esoteric discipline because we practically do not need to remember a lot these days.  Information is very easy to retrieve from electronic devices and what not.  You just need basic search terms and the Google provides the information you need and more. Photo from Rainy Day Books I have to admit I rely on external memory a lot.  I can recall birthdays of my very close family members but outside of tha...
