Ryzza Mae & the Flappy Birds!


Why the smile?
Well, natutuwa na naman ang ating Aleng Maliit sa kanyang mga "best friends"... ang mga Flappy Birds that keeps her company before and after her high-rating show! It doesn't matter kung hindi na nagfa-flap ang mga birds dahil dinelete na siya ng mismong gumawa nito basta ang ating Child Wonder ay play pa rin ng Flappy Birds. Kids will be kids...

Breakfast at Hatch 22!

Hatch 22 Bakery and Cafe
Power Plant, Makati City




NYOB - Not Your Ordinary Benedict (P540)
"Fresh baked rustic muffins, wild mushrooms, sous vide eggs, 
Italian ham, sautéed spinach and torched citrus hollandaise"
 
We (Tita Nelia and I) were craving for a good pancake breakfast that morning. Sadly, the Pancake House in Rockwell was full so we just for Hatch 22 which was a few steps away. Tita was a bit reluctant having eaten there and found that the food was, well, not good. We took a table, nonetheless. Why? One, walang tao. Second, malakas ang aircon. 

 


I ordered for NYOB - Not Your Ordinary Benedict. We both loved it and the presentation earned high marks from us. We couldn't say the same for their Blueberry Ricotta Pancakes. Good thing that we enjoyed the NYOB enough that we didn't anymore consider returning it to the kitchen. 


Blueberry Ricotta Pancake (P325)
"Buttermilk pancakes filled with blueberry compote, 
ricotta and toasted almonds. 
Served with cinnamon butter and cognac maple syrup"

Ryzza Mae is Not in the Mood!



Wala sa mood ang baby.
Madalang namin siyang makitang wala sa mood. Pero like any other normal kid, ay may oras na wala siya sa mood. The good thing about it, sandali lang naman ito at after a few minutes she's back to her usual, bubbly and adorable self... with her Flappy Birds!

Ryzza M. & Derrick M. : Up Close & Very Personal! Part 2





English Tutorials??
From talking about crushes and puppy love, kunsaan-saan na napunta ang topic ng dalawang magkasama sa TV show na "Vampire ang Daddy Ko" na sina Ryzza Mae at Derrick Monasterio at Ate Princess Nicole. Hanggang napunta na rin sila sa usapang English. At nagsimula nang nagnose bleed na naman ang ating Aleng Maliit dito sa Part 2 ng Exclusive video.

Ryzza M. & Derrick M. : Up Close & Very Personal! Part 1




Ryzza M. & Derrick M. Getting Up-Close & Very Personal! 
Close na sina Ryzza M. at Derrick M. dahil magka-sama sila sa sitcom na "Vampire and Daddy Ko" then, they saw each other sa Eat Bulaga sharing the dressing room. At first, both were busy with their cell phones when Kuya Derrick sat with our Little Star and started talking with her. Asking her kung anu-anong bagay. At ano naman ang naging usapan nila? 

Isang bagay lang... it's Explosive and Exclusive!  




The video lasted for almost 10 minutes and we decided to cut it in half (dahil unang-una mahirap at matagal ma-upload ang video kapag ganung kahaba). So, please watch out for the second part tomorrow.

Ikkoryu: Sea Salt Caramel!

Ikkoryu Fukuoka Ramen L/5 Shangri-La Plaza East Wing #477-8333
 

Sea Salt Caramel (P100)

After a satisfying meal of ramen (I highly suggest the best sellers, Ajitama Tonkotsu or Yuzu Tama Tonkotsu) the perfect dessert would be the Sea Salt Caramel and Kurogama Ice Cream!


Kurogama Ice Cream (P100)


Both flavors are creamy, just how ice cream should be. I expected the Sea Salt Caramel to be on the extra-sweet side but the sea salt tempered it.

Ryzza Mae, Spaghetti & Macaroni!




Spaghetti and Macaroni!
We posted this blog not to help with the marketing of El Real Spaghetti and Macaroni. Not at all. Pinost natin ito dahil natutuwa kami na lumalaki na talaga ang bunso ng Eat Bulaga. Na ang baby Dabarkads is growing up well and that she is definitely getting smarter at kayang-kaya na niya talaga to host a show on her own (of course, with the guidance of EB's creative people)? Naalala ba pa ninyo almost two years when we started writing about her at sinundan natin ang kanyang paglaki? 
 Ang bilis ng panahon!

Alex III: KARE-KARE SHORT RIBS!

Alex III Restaurant        
L26 B14 Chevelle cor Pontiac Sts.,     
South Fairview Park Subd., QC    
#376-5179



Kare-Kare Short Ribs



Alex III serves two kinds of Kare-Kare: Kare-Kare Solo Mix (tripe and ox-tail) and Kare-Kare Short Ribs. Both are best sellers at all Alex III branches and personally, I like both. It's just that I'm more familiar with Ox-Tail and Tripe Kare-Kare having grown up in a household that have that favorite on the dining table every Sunday.



Anyway, Alex III's Kare-Kare is how I like it: thick, nutty sauce and the meat, really tender. I can actually eat it with steaming rice everyday.

Ryzza Mae Sings: "Buong Bansa... Eat Bulaga!"



Eat...


Bulaga! 



"Buong Bansa... Eat, Bulaga!"
She was singing the theme song the whole morning. Pina-practice niya with the EB staff, alone along the corridor ng backstage, habang nakikipaghabulan, habang sumasabay sa bagong OBB (Opening BillBoard) ng "favorite noontime companion!"  Aba... dapat lang na ma-memorize yan ng youngest Dabarkads dahil for sure, matagal niyang kakantahin yan sa show! Agree?

Ryzza Mae: Tumulo ka, Please?? Focus!



Focus! Focus! Focus!
Slowly, gumagaling na si Ryzza Mae mag-drama it was very evident sa kanilang Box Office hit na "My Little Bossings" kunsaan tumulo ang luha niya sa mga dramatic moments. And recently lang kunsaan guest niya si Ms. Aiko ay super-concentrate ang Aling Maliit. And in front of a live audience ay hindi lang tumulo kundi umagos ang luha ng Best Child Performer! Pero nabanggit ba namin na tuwang-tuwa naman kami sa ginamit niyang paraan?  Para siyang manyikang walang kakilos-kilos na naka-upo naka-focus... habang tumutulong at full-support naman ang EB staff!

Si Ryzza, si Ate Princess at ang Galunggong!



Absent si Mama...
Pero dumating si Ate Princess Nicole at sinundo siya mula sa stage pagkatapos ng Ryzza Mae Show papunta sa backstage. Close na close ang magkapatid kaya ganun na lang ang tuwa ng Child Wonder nang makita ang nakakatandang kapatid. At dahil lunch time na, naghain na ng tanghalian ang EB staff para sa dalawa, ang masarap at masustansiyang: Sinigang at Fried Galunggong at Rice! Kain po tayo!

Level 5, Shangri-La Plaza
East Wing (#727-0333) 

Unlimited: 
Kimutaku
Cabbage Salad

Ebi Mayo

I must admit that even before we started on the Kimukatsu, we were already stuffed with the best selling appetizers/side dishes our host, Mr. Kenji Komuro (Director of Public Relations) ordered for us to try. I liked the Ebi Mayo (plump shrimps with sweet Japanese Mayo!) the best followed by the Cabbage Salad with the Sesame Dressing.
