Kumain Tayo sa Anghel

My lola just came home from the states and we opt to dine out for dinner today. She's already turning 90 so she doesn't want to go far. The nearest if not the only descent restaurant here is Kumain tayo sa Anghel located at the heart of the town at the 2nd floor of Puso mall in Hagonoy Bulacan. It's just walking distance from our house so it was the perfect choice.

You can pass through the kitchen on your way up

The first time I went to dine here I fell in love with the ambiance.


It's kind of intimidating when you look from the outside but you'll be surprised that their food are affordable.

Table centerpiece

They offer the usual filipino cuisines.
The Menu









Their servings are just right for the price
Lechon Kawali PHP119

Chicharong Bulaklak PHP97

Spaghetti PHP105

Kare-kare PHP122

Pistang Baryo PHP175

Dessert
Halo Halo PHP49

Buko Pandan PHP27



Overall, its a good place to dine without burning your pocket. The food is good and I love their desserts. It would have been great if they offer a variety of coffee. It seems like a good place to chill and drink coffee. :)

Women's Day Ops

In light of the celebration of Women's Day, Resistance Pilipinas rallied its forces to join a global effort involving resistance women.

Resistance Pilipinas has one of the largest number of women who play ingress. To show this, we decided to create the largest level 8 all women's portal in the Philippines. Target areas are Intramuros, Rizal Park (Luneta), University of Sto. Tomas (UST) and Quezon Memorial Circle (QMC).

March 9, 2014 3:00 PM Assembly at Manila Cathedral

A total of 16 ingress women joined the operation. Enough to divide into two teams to cover more ground. Team A will cover Fort Santiago while Team B the rest of Intramuros. I was part of Team A along with other agents. 
Team A: from left to right, akosiemily;ninjamoves;ravenangel;fauxlivia;cydoki;kurochan(me); then xlushx and evrael at the back.

 Team B: from left to right, c6h12o2; seraque; missungit; supremakalliope; kesocheese; yunha;japanesedoll; empressk;

Fort Santiago is a defense fortress built by Spanish conquistadors inside the walled city in Manila also known as Intramuros.






After Fort Santiago, one of our team mate was already feeling dizzy and had to go home. So for our next area, we had to stick together. It was already dark when we finished upgrading portals in Intramuros.





Rizal Park is the Kilometer Zero in the Philippines located adjacent to the walled city. It is a historical site that honours the Philippine national hero Dr. Jose P. Rizal.






We weren't able to go to UST since it was already about 8:00PM when we wrapped up at Luneta.
My feet were already screaming at this point so when we arrived to the next location, QMC, I upgraded some portals then left.

The result of our hard work? 250 level 8 all women's portal. not bad considering we were targeting 300 portals.
 Intramuros: 125 level 8 portals

 Luneta: 65 level 8 portals

QMC: 60 level 8 portals

It was fun meeting these girls.


And all these people who accompanied us along the way.




The world around you is not what it seems. Our future is at stake and you must choose a side. Resistance, a way of life. #Ingress

Binondo Food Trip!

A food trip in Binondo has been long overdue in my to do list. I can always go alone but good food and memories are best shared with friends :)
We took the LRT to Carriedo station and walked from there.
My friend has already been here so she knows how to navigate.


Our first stop was in Dong Bei Dumplings.

They were making dumplings when we arrived.

The Menu

So we ordered noodles.. no of course we ordered dumplings hehe.
PHP150 for 16 pieces of fried dumplings

PHP100 for 16 pieces of steamed dumplings

Serving is good for 4 people. It doesnt disappoint. Tastes good even without the black vinegar.

Next we went to Lan Zhuo La Mien or at least thats how I remember it. No I dont read chinese. It was written in the employee's shirt.

The Menu

The place looks like pretty much like the ones in hongkong.
You can see the chef making the noodles through the glass.

Free Tea

Beef La Mien PHP130

Seafood La Mien PHP150

Lamien Guisado PHP160

Servings were very generous. So when you're on a food trip it's recommended to share.

After 30minutes of eating

After an hour

Don't get us wrong..the noodles were good its just too many.. (X_X)

After this we didn't have the stomach to eat anymore haha and this is how our food trip ended :). We'll probably go back to try the other shops :)
