Coffee, tea, or me?

Standard

Hello world! Each one of us have our own way of relaxing. Some may go on vacation to another country; travelling with their friends or family. Others go to the beach, have a bit of a tan maybe surf for a while. There are people who especially the twenty somethings maybe prefer to go clubbing. Have a few drinks here and there, dance like there is no tomorrow…..then there are people like me. Give them their fave food or drinks at home and they have the best time of their life already.

Sipping my tea or coffee even if they are just instant ones makes me happy. It is the way that these drinks makes me relax is what matters.

Till then ciao!

Green ATS Bulalohan and Restaurant

Standard

Ahh Tagaytay! One of the most famous spots here in the Philippines. It’s my hang out way back during my 4 years in college. It was a perfect place to unwind, relax and chill out with your friends and family. There are lots of scenic places and good food. Speaking of food let me share to you a nice restaurant that I discovered together with my friends way back last year. (I also celebrated my birthday there! Ha ha ha!)

What a view!

 

The menu consists of Filipino foods in which there are some meals that can serve 2-3 or 4 persons. There’s your typical Filipino breakfast such as tapsilog and losilog. The main dish consists of kaldereta, kare-kare, lumpiang shanghai, sizzling, pansit and more.

Pansit for a long life.

UPDATE: 11-1-2016 It seems that How Cow Milkshake Factory is no longer found in SM Lucena nor in the other places that they operate. We do not know the reason why they close but too bad. The place looks promising though.

Old McDonald’s has a Farm E-I-E-I Ohhh!! And on his farm he has some cows. E-I-E-I Oh!And a moo-moo here and a moo-mo there!
Well enough singing ladies and gents! I came here not to sing a children’s song but to introduce to you a new treasure I found called How Cow Milkshake Factory. I have tasted milkshake before during my last elementary years using my own concoction through recipes I found in a book and some magazine so this is nothing new to me.

         Nowadays if you serve an ordinary milkshake it will still be delicious I agree but to adults you need something more!
How Cow Milkshake Factory originated in SM Baguio as told by the man behind the cashier (I kept asking questions! He he he!). A couple owns this business and the cashier guy told me that those 2 vacationed in the States and drank a milkshake there after that a light bulb went up their heads and viola new business idea!

The cups ranges from 12, 16 and 22 oz. Price range is from P45.00 to P95.00 depending on the cup size, flavor and additional toppings.

This tastes like mango flavored medicine. Ugh!

This tastes like mango flavored medicine. Ugh!

         Unfortunately though I only tried 2 flavors namely strawberry and mango. I didn’t like the mango because it tastes like medicine. Sorry about that but good news is according to some blogs the other flavors are really delicious and Rocky Road is their best seller.
