Toast Box!

I was supposed to eat in “Shiok” that day, but then chanced upon another great Singaporean restaurant along Rizal Drive in Bonifacio Global City - “Toast Box” ! Always game for new things, I opted to dine there instead, and did not regret it!

the counter

their Milo Dinosaur, which is soo much better than Shiok’s (uber concentrated, just the way I like it! Not diluted at all :> )

was this Nasi Goreng? Anyway, it was good!

and the classic Chicken Rice (Hainanese-style) - yumm! Almost as good as the ones in Singapore, where incidentally I was at last weekend. But I didn’t eat Hainanese there, I ate roasted Chicken Rice all the way, complete with MSG-doused rice and all, for lunch and dinner, almost everyday. Except for that one lunch when I almost burned my throat eating overpriced laksa at Universal Studios. :|

And while we’re on the Singaporean food topic, there’s this hole in the wall but to-die-for-delicious “Singapore Chicken Rice” place my sister and I randomly found in Cubao, near Shopwise. Their black pork adobo and not the chicken rice, ironically, was my favorite.

More on my Singapore trip last weekend next time  :)

Bento Box and Kinder Surprise

discovered Bento Box along LP Leviste Street today! As in, the Bento Box that used to partnered with World Topps along Katipunan Avenue before, beside Flaming Wings! I spent many a dinner there during my Freshie days. I remember exactly where I used to sit, who I used to see/go with there… Franny Ledesma’s Health Sciences block, the MGT-H block with Mario and Pao… Francis, Jonah, Sabs… I don’t know if you can remember…

Anyway, the best thing there that I’d never fail to eat was their Peanut Butter Mango Cobbler. Basically it’s a small bowl of vanilla ice cream with mango slices, peanut butter, and crushed grahams. This Makati branch disappointed, however. Service was horrible, waiters didn’t know what they had on the menu, they seemed absent minded and plain dumb, it was such a bust.

This was what Tam ordered:

delicious Sukiyaki

I ordered from the other menu (Bento Box was sharing a restaurant with I <3 BBQ) - “Sizzling” chicken barbeque, no part of which was actually sizzling.

I <3 BBQ deco

what was inside the Kinder Surprise my officemate gave me today - seriously, when was the last time you worked on a jigsaw puzzle??
