Firefly’s dinner

Ces — Thu, 15 Jul 2010 16:18:48 +0000

the other night, we had dinner at Fireflys on a whim. it was a totally unplanned decision right after we picked up M from the train station. and it was go-ood! the kids had burgers and mac n cheese with french fries while M and i shared a platter of BBQ ribs and chicken with sweet potato fries, french fries and corn muffins. add to that a complimentary bowl of pickled cucumber, which is so refreshingly delicious. plus they also had complimentary chocolate chip cookies, huge ones mind you and candies!!! all for $23! beat that! just a simple comparison would be a meal for 4 at any fast food burger place would total to around $18. and if we really wanted burgers, which might be getting more often and going through fat burner reviews is in order… Firefly’s burger is definitely a much better choice for almost the same price with extras!!! that is to conclude that we are going to be regular customers of this nearby Barbecue restaurant. and i can’t wait to try out their other yummy grubs! next week, maybe?

breakfast buffet

Ces — Wed, 17 Feb 2010 01:31:31 +0000

…something that we all look forward to when we go for a night or so hotel living, or should i say living of reality for a few days. when we get away to unwind a little. when we forget about everything behind to have room service, a nearby pool to wade in and yes…eat all you can breakfast!

…and i love love love this muffin! yummm-eeehhh! i even got another one with blueberries to go! haha!

…we can never have complete breakfast without the scrambles right?

this one’s S’s bagel. definitely with cream cheese.
had to end it all with a bowl or two of fresh fruits! no photo though, sorry..i decided to enjoy the last few bites without the camera getting in the way.:)

what’s that? before you scroll down…can you at least try guessing first? demanding! haha!
this has been part of our weekly ritual…the hubs and myself, that is. more often than not, Saturday mornings are spent in this place while the kids are in their karate class. it’s also the only ‘our-time’…and we make good use of it…

Lasang Pinoy Sundays: Dimsum [freestyle]

Ces — Sat, 03 Oct 2009 15:58:15 +0000

…Saturday mornings, more often than not is our ‘you-me-while-the-kids-do-karate’ time as a couple or something like that. our less than an hour gastronomic date. or shall i say, our ONLY date a week if we’re lucky enough. as simple as it is, we definitely love it and always look forward to this ‘luxury’ that we are blessed with.

Lasang Pinoy, Sundays : foodSIGN

Ces — Sat, 11 Jul 2009 15:59:52 +0000

This may not be my favorite restaurant especially when i crave for seafood, but it poses to be a most eye-catching FOOD SIGN for a lobster spot, don’t you agree? Needless to say, we lurve LOBSTERS!… who doesn’t really? pardon me, i know i have posted a lot on these crustaceans, mostly home-cooked. still, i opted for this photo on this week’s theme, even if it’s a little noisy. too far and my hands are shaky from starvation! i guess. hee!

…the place is called The Weathervane, located in Kittery, Maine. My choice that day was something out of the ordinary. that would mean, not just steamed or grilled whole or cut in half…but one that looks like a pie. hence, it is called Lobster Pie!:)

…for the price, i must admit it’s not all worth the deviation from the humongous shellfish that i was accustomed to greeting me on my plate. taste-wise…a 6.5. overall…i told myself i can even do this myself! oh well…lesson learned. wicked, yes..if we talk about the come-on signage. cheap? not at all.
