Weekend Food Tripping at: Sango

Sango, I've tried it first at Shangri-La mall but I wasn't able to report about it because it was a "to-go" order.  The first Sango food I've tried is the Yakiniku Kimuchi Rice Burger which has my favorite Kimchi and the beef is just amazingly good!  

After an event, Mr. AMW and I plan to drive all the way to The Fort to go for another food tripping, but because it was great catching up with fellow bloggers, it was 7:30pm when we've decided to eat!  The pig inside my stomach will complain if we have to go through traffic!  

We've decided to dine in at Sango, Powerplant, Rockwell branch...it was a great decision and here's why....

Unlike the tiny restaurant at Shangri-La Plaza, the Rockwell branch is more spacious and the ambiance is so relaxing!  As we got in the entrance, a nice, clean counter greeted us with Photo Menu!  Photo menu is perfect for couples who's always undecided!  <--- kami yon! (Us!)

This time, it was a speedy order....


Yakiniku Rice Burger
Php145.00 (approx $3.45)
I can still remember Mc Donald's first Rice Burger and it was really oily!  With the Sango Rice Burger, it's perfectly made and I don't feel like I would want to take "Xenical" tablets after!  The beef is very juicy yet the taste is not overpowering!  The whole Rice Burger and the Yakiniku beef blends in perfectly inside the mouth!  Just like eating a whole meal --- burger style!


Katsudon Rice Meal
Php225.00 (approx $5.35)
Because that is how we food trip.  We wanted to the Rice Burger and the Rice Meal.  I actually wanted to try their Japanese Burger too but our stomach won't be able to handle it!  Next time!

The Katsudon Rice Meal includes my favorite Miso Soup!  The rice meal was served super hot so be careful not to burn your tongue!  Generous servings of Katsudon (Pork) and eggs!  There are parts of the Pork Katsudon that's difficult to chew but the rest was good enough!


Green Tea Shake
Small : Php60.00 (approx $1.40)
Large : Php85.00 (approx $2.00)
I ordered small because I don't want to waste anything if I don't like it.  The thing is, this is the best Green Tea Shake I've tasted! I wished I've ordered Large because I just can't stop sipping!  It's one of the bestseller according to the lady!  So give this a try when you visit Sango..please!  And try to buy me one too? :P


They mean it when they say the food are freshly made upon order, you have to wait for a bit but waiting isn't a problem!  I am not a Japanese Anime person, mine you, but the Manga collection is just amazing!  Look at the 2nd layer 2nd from right, that's a good collection of my favorite Death Note!  I actually read the first book in a flash eventhough I knew the story already!  Now it made me want to have my own collection of selected Mangas.

Super cozy ambiance, you can see your food being prepared!  Very clean kitchen!

Revlon Super Lustrous Lipsticks (Fire & Ice Collection) Review



I blogged about the Revlon Fire & Ice Collection Nail Polish a week ago and I reported to you that the polish shades have their matching lipstick partner.  Finally, I am ready to review these after more than a week of usage!  I tried alternating these shades daily to work so that I get the "feel" of these and give you a well-deserved review.

Something New: MAC Sheen Supreme

Something New from MAC....


 "Sheen Supreme --- is the combination of the strong, sensually saturated color of, say, Tilda Swinton's I Am Love Milanese Lipstick, leavened with the light feel and clear vibrancy, the see-through sheen of a modern New York City Girl Gloss.  Imagine no muddy undertones, gliding in pearl or creme finish, moisturizing with no sticky/tacky feel.  This is retro/modern --- and devastatingly chic."


Suggested Retail Price:
Php1,000 (approx $23.80)
 

  1. Supremely Confident - Pale nude
  2. Bare Again Pinky - neutral beige
  3. Can’t Get Enough - Beige neutral
  4. Behave Yourself - Light blue pink
  5. Gotta Dash! - Pale clean coral
  6. Full Speed - Bright clean yellow pink
  7. Insanely It - Watermelon pink
  8. Ultra Darling - Mid-tone yellow pink
  9. New Temptation - Vivid blue red
  10. Quite the Thing! - Deep blue plum
  11. Impressive Neutral - gilded plum
  12. Look at Her! - Metallic copper
  13. Can’t Resist - Golden purplish red
  14. Good to be Bad - Deep burgundy
The reason why I use MAC lipsticks mostly on clients because luckily, clients have better looking lips than the AMW Make-up Artist!  *laughs*  I prefer lipgloss with a hint of color as it looks healthy and natural on my very dry lips!  With the new MAC Sheen Supreme, I wish I could at least find MAC lip products that works for me!  The great news?  These are made non-sticky! *woohooo!*

Eureka Moment: Moisturizing Liquid Soap

I have a tube of hand cream inside my bag, on top of my office table and right beside my bed!  Do I use them as often as needed?  *smiles sheepishly*....NO!

I think a lot of you have the same sentiments as I do.  It feels weird to use a hand cream after every wash especially when you're off to write or type or especially when you plan to eat!  Hats off to people out there who are very determined to have soft hands!

If there's a will there's a way, there are products for lazy people or people with a lot of excusses. *me!*  I am into liquid soap because it does not strip as much oil as regular soaps!  I've been a liquid soap user from Brands A-Z!  I've used a couple and found nothing spectacular!

Eureka Moment!

A brand that makes good body lotion came out with a Moisturizing Liquid Soap!  Housed in a very simple white and mint green packaging, I've tested it right away!


Jergens Extra Moisturizing Liquid Soap (as copied from back portion of this packaging)
Cleans Completely : The rich, creamy formula creates a soft lather to clean thoroughly, removing dirt and germs.
Gentle on Skin : Jergens skin care products have been trusted for generations.  Enriched with real Jergens lotion, the pH balanced formula will leave your skin feeling soft and clean.
Smells Great : The classic cherry-almond fragrance is almost as well known as the Jergens Brand itself.  Enjoy this clean, soft fragrance every time you wash.

Jergens Moisturizing Liquid Soap comes in 2 sizes:
200ml retails at Php107.75 (approx $2.50)
500ml retails at P183.75 (approx $4.40)

The best part?  Jergens Liquid Soap is available in economical refill sizes!  I wish all liquid soap companies would do this!

I am not promoting on not using hand creams because I envy you if you are loyal to your hand  creams.
To most of us who are too lazy, we should at least take care of our hands during washing!

Are you a regular soap user? Or liquid soap lover?
What's your favorite brand?

Stay happy!
