Weekend Food Trip at: Wooden Spoon Rockwell Powerplant Mall

Tucked inside the posh Rockwell mall is a Filipino "Comfort Food" restaurant called Wooden Spoon by Sandy Daza.  I grew up watching the "Dazas" on TV learning recipes after recipes.  I always tell myself: "They look great on TV but I bet they don't taste as good in person!"

When the family and I had were finally at the mall and decided to grab dinner there, it was perfect timing for me to see if it is worth the visit!

Lechon Kawali

Php265.00

This is every Filipino's favorite.  I agree, they use the leanest pork belly and simmered it until very tender before deep-fried.  That explains the crunchy texture on the outside and juicy soft pork on the inside!   This comes with 3 different dipping and I love them all!

 Pan Grilled Tuna Belly

Php310.00

I've always been a fan of Tuna Belly from Gery's, but this is definitely a-must-try dish at Wooden Spoon.  Why?  Well, the tuna belly here is juicy and grilled in perfection!  With kamatis itlog na maalat, crunchy green magoes and bagoong, this reminds me so much of HOME.

Unbox: Asus Zenfone2 Laser 5.5S

I have been using my Asus Zenfone 2 Laser 5.0 for quite some time and I'm very happy with its' performance!  I heavily rely on it for Social Media postings, checking of emails and Youtube for Kyle Nash!  I know I said I'm 100% happy, it doesn't hurt if the same Zenfone 2 Laser phone comes in bigger screen!

Unboxing, my newest Asus Zenfone 2 Laser 5.5S!

Zefone 2 Laser 5.5S looks similar to my Zenfone 2 Laser 5.0 particularly because I got both units on same Gold shade!  

An Everyday Pink Blush

Pink Blush?  *Stays away*

That's my reaction ever since I turned 30!  And that was 7 years ago so it has been a good 7 years that I haven't touched a PINK blush unless I am going to apply that on a teenager or a young client!

Then one day, I met with Poise Makeup Professional and found a subtle matte pink cheek color that I can finally call MINE.  Meant for every age.

According to Poise Makeup Professional ---
Rich pigmented formulation with minerals, vitamin E and botanical extracts to provide a silky, soft, light weight application.

Estee Lauder Double Wear Makeup To Go Review

So, you love your foundation too much but you just take the foundation bottle with you for the fear of "foundation-explosion".  I know I feel that way so I always accept the fact that I don't look at fresh as the time I left home.

Thankfully, brands like Estee Lauder thought of something, the same Estee Lauder Double Wear Foundation we love is now housed in a compact, just like BB cushions from Korean Brand.  Same concept, different content.

BUT, if you need to click "x" and stop reading, you may have to know that this is NOT the same Double Wear Foundation formulation, the Makeup To Go is thinner in consistency and works especially well as retouch foundation because it won't dry the skin as compared to thicker foundation.

Eureka Moment: Vitamin C For the Skin Does Help!

Remember last month when I visited the Laneige Pop-Up store at SM Mall of Asia?   I love it that I get to talk to fellow bloggers who are Laneige user and of course, talk to the people behind Laneige and get tips from them on which products are the best!  (I seriously believe they know better because they get to try the products first!)

I am happy with our long-afternoon talk with Laneige's Brand person Ms. Mela Fortes, big reason is that, she was very vocal with the products that work for her and those that do not (Even if it is her own brand!).  She honestly shares to me her personal experiences on the products I am intrigued with and that is one major reason why I believe her when she gushed on Laneige's newest skincare product called Clear-C Advanced Effector.

I had to pick one to try!

Laneige Clear-C Advanced Effector contains 150ml worth of Vitamin booster with 92.5% super berry extracts that have clarifying effects, giving you a brighter complexion.
