Kare-Kare Mix (P338)
Alex III Restaurant serves two kinds of Kare-Kare: Kare-Kare Short Ribs and Kare-Kare Mix with both Oxtail Tripe at Oxtail Tail which I had at their Fairview Branch.
The tripe and tail were very tender, the sauce thick (but not too thick!) and nutty and the color, not too red. The blanched vegetables (cabbage, pechay, string beans) were still crunchy (so unlike most restaurants'). The bagoong had this salty-sweet taste, the indispensable partner to the Kare-Kare.
Who's cuter: Ryzza Mae or Hello Kitty?
Siyempre dun tayo sa Yahoo OMG Awardee at siyempre dun tayo sa bida ng pelikula na confirmed na # 1 sa box office sa first day ng Metro Manila Film Festival! Tingnan natin ngayon kung sino ang talagang Bossing! Congratulations, Bimby ang Ryzza Mae!
Siyempre naman, cute din naman din si Hello Kitty at katunayan ang isa sa mga favorite characters ng ating Aleng Maliit. Dahil pasko nga, bumbaha ng regalo para kay Ryzza Mae galing sa mga fans na patuloy na pinasasaya niya!
For the nth time, nahiram na naman ng ating Little Bossing (don't forget: December 25!) ang aming camcorder at siya mismo ang umikot ng umikot sa studio at kinunan ang staff, crew and even the guapos na Los Viajeros ng Trip na Trip sa backstage na binati ng Merry Christmas!
MERRY CHRISTMAS!
That day, hindi naka-live ang The Ryzza Mae Show at naabutan namin siyang naka-playful mode. Kaga-galing niya from school at mataas pa at hyper na hyper pa rin ang ating Little Bossing (don't forget: December 25!) ikot ng ikot sa backstage using her extra energy!

Except for the usual ham, cheese and fruits, our family doesn't have any traditional Noche Buena food. I remember that for several Noche Buenas, we had Lechon De Leche. We also had (my favorite!) Chicken Galantina which mommy used to get from a store in Rustan's Cubao (in their old location across Ali Mall!) and occasionally, Roast Turkey which a family friend/neighbor/caterer used to do for us.
We never had Crispy Pata though we have been toying with the thought. A few weeks back and after tasting the Crispy Pata of Alex III the thought made a comeback. I'm actually considering ordering this really crunchy pork dish for this year's Noche Buena! Why not? A good Crispy Pata is just a phone call away!
Chopped!
Busing-busy ang ating Little Bossing (don't forget, it opens on December 25!) preparing for the holiest (and the most exciting!) of all holidays... Christmas! Excited siya doing stuff tulad nang specific na araw na yun na nag-drawing ng dalawang Christmas symbols... Parol at ang Christmas Tree! Very creative young lady!
Kettle
5/L Shangri-la Plaza
East Wing
It was my birthday two months back when I thought of spending the day alone in Shangri-la Plaza's East Wing. As predicted, I ended up pigging out in the new restaurants there. One of them was Kettle. I got attracted by the name and cozy feel of the place.
I didn't plan of stuffing myself since I was meeting a best friend in QC for dinner. Temptation got the best of me. I had to try this Shrimp Po' Boy (P419). It had fried Cajun Breaded Shrimps on Soft Ciabatta Roll (read: hotdog bun) with fries. It had a bed of vegetables and served with a drizzle of sweet-spicy mustard sauce.
Did I like it? I enjoyed the crunchy shrimps to bother with the bread and the fries. One more thing, there was just too much carbo.
This is the second half of the "My Little Bossings" (Metro Manila Film Festival entry) Bloggers Night! Tuwang-tuwa ang mga bloggers sa wit at bilis ng utak ni Ryzza Mae sa pagsagot sa mga tanong sa kanya! She's definitely one intelligent little lady!
The Bloggers' Conference for "My Little Bossings" was a well-attended event at Annabel's last Friday, December 13 despite the heavy traffic. Parang lang naglalaro ang "mag-amang" sina Vic Sotto at Ryzza Mae habang nagkwe-kwento ng mga experiences nila sa paggawa ng pelikula. Sayang, hindi nakarating ang iba pang cast members like Kris Aquino and son, Bimby and Aiza Sequerra dahil siguradong mas riot kung kumpleto sila. Anyway, My Little Bossing is an entry to Metro Manila Film Festival. Don't miss it!
Tonight is the night!
We have been invited to attend an exclusive Bloggers' Night for "My Little Bossings" tonight at Annabel's in Tomas Morato! I promise to share with everybody ang mangyayari mamayang gabi! Siguradong riot na naman ang bloggers conference para sa pelikulang kasali sa Metro Manila Film Festival topbilled by Vic Sotto at ang Aleng Maliit! Stay Tuned!

I have eaten Laing na makati sa dila more than once in the past. That's why I was a bit hesitant to order it at Alex III (Matalino Street). But they insisted to give it a try. So, I did. Good thing I did (there was no kati at all!). The slightly thick sauce had that sweet coconut milk taste which I like. That why when my good friend (from the Blue School) Gabby visited from Denver a month ago, I made him try the Laing at the Robinson Galleria branch of Alex III. He finished a third of it. Way to go, Gab!
Bicol Laing (P359)
'Beautiful Barbie' is in town!
Masayang sinalubong ng ating Little Bossing sa backstage pagkatapos ng kanyang show! Tuwang-tuwang nagpapicture-picture si Ryzza Mae sa mga new blond friends na aliw na aliw din sa kanya! Lumalaban ng Enlish si Aleng Maliit hanggang sa... naubusan na siya tumakbong palabas ng dressing room! Nagka-nose bleed yata!!!
Panic! Ano'ng nangyayari??
Ah... normal. The Little Bossing needs to go the comfort room... but Fast! She has to be back on stage bago matapos ang commercial break! The challenge of live shows! Did she make it on time?

Of all the four Alex III Specials offered exclusively in the Wilson Branch, I love this dish the best next (of course!) to the Sizzling Boneless Fried Chicken. It's lightly-battered Fish and Shrimp served with fried potatoes and Tartar sauce (and like another Alex III Special, Grilled Tanigue Steak, don't forget to squeeze the lime wedge on the fish and shrimp).
Fish and Shrimp (P339)
I saw her right after The Ryzza Mae Show perched on top of the writers' table. Parang isang ibon si Ryzza Mae na nakadapo na kunsaan ginagawa ang mga creative work ng EB. And as usual, maraming tanong at maraming kwento ang Aleng Maliit na sinagot naman ng mga EB tulad ng mabait na writer na si Tyrene.
Lambing mode ang Aleng Maliit. Actually, the little Bossing is in this mode especially if Mommy Rizza is attending to other important matters na madalang naman. Don't worry. Ryzza Mae gets all the attention and all the care from the whole staff of EB just like this Floor Director na talagang alagang-alaga ang batang little sister ng lahat.
