Alex III: USDA Angus Ribeye!

Alex Restaurant
236 Scout Bayoran cor.
Tomas Morato, Quezon City

USDA Angus Ribeye 

(Regular P729 / Mini P489)

One of Alex III's best sellers, USDA Angus Ribeye, is good with or without gravy (I like my steak medium well). It is served with House Salad (I opted for Caesar Salad), Fried Potatoes and white rice.   

Alex III: Mushroom Soup!

Alex Restaurant
236 Scout Bayoran cor.
Tomas Morato, QC

Mushroom Soup (P105)

Before I had my Angus Ribeye (Regular, P729), I ordered for a serving of Alex III's Mushroom Soup (thick but not too thick). It was the perfect way of preparing my system for the coming protein overload. 

Ryzza Mae, Giving Out Instructions!

"Yes, ma'am!"
Siguro naman nakita na ninyo ang mga Make-up Transformations ni Mr. Vic Sotto and the rest of the Dabarkads? Well, ngayon malalaman ninyo kung sino ang tumulong na gumawa nun! At serious siya in giving out instructions! May vision siya at highly-creative ang imagination! 

Ryzza Mae: "Kwentong Barbero!"

A Happy Child! 
She is a happy child! At bagay na bagay sa kanya every time sabihin ang kanyang 'motto' na "Bawal ang sad!" We caught her na nakikipag-kwentong barbero habang inaayusan for her show, The Ryzza Mae Show and she has proven na very creative na siya plus, masayahin pa! Kaya naman ay napakaraming humahanga AT nagmamahal sa kanya! 

Kofta Arabic Beef Skewers!

Lg10 Century Mall, Kalayaan Avenue

Kopta Arabic 

Beef Skewers (P380)

served with Arabic bread 

side salad

I was reminded of the materials I have of Azzurro when my friend (Yzl Cruz) and I had a dinner meeting at a restaurant in Timog where they serve middle eastern food. Here at Azzurro, I had good Beef Skewers which can actually feed two persons (you just need to order more yogurt sauce). 

Spaghetti Carbonara (P320)

Salmon Nicoise (P260)

Ryzza Mae and the New 'Tambay' Pose!

First, it was 'Look Up'...
Then, there was 'Bawal Ang Sad'...
And now, the 'Tambay!' 
On the second video, Ryzza Mae will explain kung bakit Tambay ang tawag sa latest pose to hit it big! Go, and make the Tambay! 

Ryzza Mae: Oopss... Wardrobe Malfunction!

Oopss... wardrobe malfunction!
The truth is, when you look closer hindi naman butones ang reason at medyo nakasilip ang damit ng Phenomenal Child Star na dali-dali namang inayos ni Mommy Riza kundi medyo malusog lang talaga si Ryzza Mae at bumibigay ang mga butones. :) Pero for us, wardrobe malfunction na lang ang may kasalanan! Right? 

Alex III Specials: Beef with Broccoli!

L26 B14 Chevelle cor.
Pontiac Sts., South Fairview
Park Subd., Fairview, QC

Beef Broccoli (P389)

After Adobong Pusit and Inihaw na Panga ng Hamachi, here now is the third Alex III Specials which came out a few weeks back (they are big sellers among the regulars and new guests!) in all Alex III branches (Wilson, San Juan; Tomas Morato, QC; Matalino Street, QC; Robinson Galleria and Fairview, QC)... Beef with Broccoli! 

Ryzza Mae: "Nagbago Na Ba Talaga??"

"Si Ryzza Mae, nagbago na!"
Biro ni Mommy Riza sa anak niyang Phenomenal daughter habang pinapakain ito! Of course, hindi totoo ito! Naglolokahan lang ang mag-inang madalas magbiruan. At alam ni Ryzza Mae na hindi dapat mangyari ito. The Little Lady is grounded. She is surrounded by people who know to how to guide her well. By the way, kinakain ni Ryzza ang isa sa mga paborito niyang ulam... Sinigang na Isda! Teka, ano ba talaga ang "pinagtatalunan" ng dalawa? :)  

Ryzza Mae, Stop Eating Your Hair!

Gutom???
Nagiging ugali na si baby Dabarkads na paglaruan ang kanyang mala-sutlang buhok na dumadaan sa blow dry before her show. When we say 'paglaruan' we mean, she gently strokes her hair. Like a proper little lady. Pero kahapon, may bago siyang ginawa! Binuhol niya ang buhok niya at para matanggal ang buhol ay kinagat na ito! Naku, dirty! Well, she promises not to do it again. Don't worry... she's a good kid. She does what she says. :)

Alex III: Boneless Chicken BBQ & Tempura!

L26 B14 Chevelle cor.
Pontiac Sts., South Fairview

Boneless Chicken BBQ

with Tempura (P469)

A big plate of Boneless Chicken BBQ, Tempura with Veggies and Java Rice is a meal I don't mind having everyday. Alex III's Boneless Chicken BBQ (with Java Rice) is included in my comfort food list and Tempura is something I don't say no to. The combo is just so right (no wonder it's one of the biggest sellers!).

Java Rice

35 Years of Eat Bulaga!

35 years of Eat Bulaga. The longest-running Filipino show. Wow. And in 35 years, hindi pa rin matinag ang tatlong nagsimula nang lahat... sina TVJ, sina Tito, Vic and Joey (kasama din diyan ang kasamang nagtayo ng EB, si Mr. Tony Tuviera, TAPE's big boss). Everything has been written about the three, positive and negative yet, nandiyan pa rin sila. One proof na meron silang ginagawang tama. Of course, sa 35 years ay nakaranas din sila ng mga challenges (tulad ng low ratings) pero nalampasan nila ang lahat nang yan. 

The pictures here were taken from original photos na naka-frame na nakasabit sa Broadway studio. We noticed na ang photos which we featured in our earlier blog post entitled "Random Images of a Young Eat Bulaga" ay napalitan na nang mga pictures na makikita ito ngayon. May I say that these are the pictures I can personally relate to dahil ito ang panahon na nagtrabaho ako sa EB as a writer. Inabutan ko pa sina Tita Coney, Christine Jacob, Lady Lee, Aiza Seguerra and Rio Diaz. We were relatively small then compared to the EB of today. But one thing ay hindi nagbago... ang pagiging lovable ng TVJ. 

Congratulations, EB.

Ryzza Mae, The Expert Adviser!

"Ito ang mapapayo ko..."
She's like an old lady giving a much-needed advise! At ang expertise ni Ms. Adviser ay... Loom Bands! Of course, dyan expert ang Phenomenal Child Star! May lumapit nga sa kanya at humihingi sa expert adviser at syempre naman, nagbigay ito... for free! Kaya nyo yan?  

Ryzza Mae: May Request si Tito Sen!

Pwedeng mag-request?
Super love talaga si Ryzza Mae ng buong Dabarkads! Madalas pinapasok pa ng mga hosts ang Phenomenal Child Star sa kanyang dressing room just to see and greet her! Do remember yung time na nagkulong si Ryzza Mae sa CCTV room at pilit siyang pinapalabas ni Tito Sen??  Riot yun! 

And this time, pinasok siya ulit ni Tito Sen sa dressing room para mag-request kung pwedeng gahain sa Loom Band ng Baby Dabarkads ang rosary niya! Talagang ginagawa nang career ang Loom Band! You can do it! Go!
