Foodie Critic: PIZZA HUT's TUSCANI

My not so many followers probably know how much i love pizza - I even dedicated one post about it years ago; and even wrote reviews about some local pizza joints found in the city of the Generals (Mamma Marias, Calda Pizza and Pizzahan).

To add to that list is PIZZA HUT's newest menu addition - TUSCANI PIZZA!

As customers started to ask for a thinner crust pizza, Pizza Hut also made some innovations with its menu to satisfy their customers and came up with their version of thin crusted pizzas and called it TUSCANI PIZZA. Unlike other thin crust pizza that are cracker-like crispy, Pizza Hut's Tuscani Pizza's dough is chewy soft and tastier. Tuscani Pizza's toppings are generously scattered from the center to the crusts of the dough. It comes in five delicious flavors and two available sizes  (Medium & Super Family), that customers with varied preferences would surely have one particular flavor to love.

So here is a quick review of the five different Pizza Hut's TUSCANI PIZZA:

SUPREMO

For those who want everything on their pizza, Supremo "THE ULTIMATE" Pizza is for you. The combination of meat (beef, italian sausage, smoked ham, pepperoni), cheese and veges (black olives, garlic, bell peppers, onions), plus generously spread premium tomato sauce,  would surely satisfy your pizza craving. This is best for those who are afraid to explore new tastes and just simply wants their usual kind of PIZZA. With the thin dough used, you would surely enjoy the flavorful toppings to the fullest.

PREMIUM ALL MEAT

Pizza Hut's Tuscani Pizza also got something for its meat lover customers. The Premium All Meat has bacon, beef, italian sausage, pepperoni, salami and smoked ham on a layer of mozzarela and parmesan cheese and premium tomato sauce. With each meat's distinct flavors, this Tuscani is surely a deliciously sinful treat.

Antigone's Rating: 7

GOURMET BBQ CHICKEN

Meanwhile, for our friends who are into a healthy diet, the Tuscani Pizza flavor that is right for them is BBQ Chicken with honey BBQ sauce, marinated chicken, olive oil roasted bell peppers and red onion. This might not be your usual pizza flavor, but the distinct taste of honey blends well with the BBQ chicken. Can be considered a light pizza, Gourmet BBQ Chicken might become a must try for those who wants to enjoy good food, guilt-free.

Antigone's Rating: 8

ROAST BEEF.

A personal favorite, this Tuscani Pizza flavor appeals to three senses - the SIGHT, the SMELL and of course the TASTE. As this best seller is served, you would surely be enticed with its presentation. The white stripes would not only stir the curiosity of its eater but would also also make them salivate with its mouth-watering aroma. The premium roast beef used for this particular Tuscani Pizza is simply scrumptious, plus the shiitake mushrooms, cheddar and mozzarella cheeses and the premium tomato sauce used made it tastier plus the white-stripes are drizzle of garlic steak sauce and not additional cheese.

Antigone's Rating: 10

THREE-CHEESE, BACON & SPINACH

Pizza Hut, must have thought of children when they created this Tuscani Pizza flavor. The combination of three kinds of cheeses plus spinach would surely be a hit to picky eater children who loves cheese. This one is another personal favorite since I love to eat cheese and the combination of three cheese on my pizza is a cloud 9 for me. So if we share the same obsession, this flavor is a must try. The cheese toppings goes well with the soft dough making it an easy eat. Its a pizza covered with cheese and topped with spinach and bacon. This one is surely a must-try.

Antigone's Rating: 10

A fearless forecast on Pizza Hut Tuscani Pizza: It would be a sure HIT! With the unusual soft thin dough, those who loves thin crust pizza but is tired of the super crunchy texture they commonly get in other pizza stores would surely troop to Pizza Hut and try these freshly made traditional crusts that are soft on the inside and slightly crispy on the outside.

You can get a taste of those new gourmet pizzas at any PIZZA HUT branches nationwide. In General Santos City, Pizza Hut is located at the KCC Mall of Gensan. They are open from 10am to 8pm.

Special thanks to: Pizza Hut Gensan for hosting the first ever Pizza Hut Blogger's Pizza Party in Mindanao. Thank you to Pizza Hut (KCC Gensan) Restaurant Gen. Manager - Jasper Barraca and the rest of the staff for the warm accommodation. To Sir Avel Manansala and the rest of the Sox Bloggers! 

Foodie Critic: FIRE & ICE GRILL and STEAK BAR

In the late 90's, Anchor Driving Range gained its popularity among the golf enthusiast in General Santos and its neighbors. As years gone by, different management come and go in handling the said establishment. Before the year 2011 ends, the once Anchor Driving Range will be undergoing extreme make over through a new management under the supervision of businessman Mr. Rey Billena, transforming it into GENSAN SPORTS CENTER. Come this 11-11-11, watch out for grand opening of the newest food, sports and wellness center in General Santos City. For you will surely HAVE FUN IN THE URBAN.

Meanwhile, together with the SocSKSarGen Bloggers, I was able to attend a week long taste testing at one GENSAN SPORTS CENTER initial offerings, the FIRE & ICE Grill and Steak Bar. So here is a brief review of the latter.

AMBIANCE. The non- air conditioned Fire & Ice Grill and Steak Bar gives you a casual dining experience.  The structure which is composed mainly of wood and native products is not intimidating though it looks like a high-end  Barbecue/Chicken Resto. If you are looking for a peaceful and relaxing dining experience, this is the place to be since Fire & Ice Grill and Steak Bar is far from the main road - less noise and less disturbance. The place is good for groups for it can accommodate up to 30 customers. Given that it is an open-air restaurant, it is best to go there for breakfast and for dinner. Do not fret, Gensan Sports Center has another restaurant to open which is air conditioned (hopefully be featuring it pretty soon). 

FOOD. Fire & Ice won't be called a grill and steak bar for nothing - and boy their steak is something to watch out for. I am no chef but I can tell delicious from a so-so meal. This one from Fire & Ice surely belongs to the delectable steak in Gensan archive. Its meat is juicy and tender and the taste is not too salty with a hint of sweetness. The next time you crave for steak or you grew tired of your usual steak house, try Fire & Ice's steak. I also have to make mention of the beef stew they served that night, they should include it on their menu,retain its taste and they will surely get a best-seller out of it. Fire & Ice Grill and Steak Bar will be offering more menus once it will operate full blast.

SERVICE. Since it is a marketing introduction, I wont be reviewing about their service and staff. For that night, everyone was courteous and amiable.

OTHERS. Gensan Sports Center got a spacious and safe parking lot which is definitely a PLUS for the costumers. There is/are security guards from the gate that keeps track of who comes in and gets out. 

Haven't checked the rest rooms though, I do hope they would include them in their renovation as well.

Fire and Ice Grill & Steak Bar is open from 6 AM to 10 PM daily. It is located at the entrance of Gensan Sports Center (formerly known Anchor Driving Range) along National Highway, Gen. Santos City.

Foodie Critic: HOUSE OF CASHEWS

My mama and I share the same cravings for roasted cashew so when I heard about the opening of a more accessible House of Cashew. I brought her there together with my other sisters.  With the purpose of simply checking the place if its worth a second visit, I came up with this review.

AMBIANCE. The 5-tabled place (4 inside + 1 outside), housing different cashew dishes got a homey feel to it. Best for a couple or a small group of four, the House of Cashew located in one of the spaces of the new ECA Building, made a wrong decision in furnishing their Showroom and Delicacy House with bulky hardwood tables. They should rethink of putting tables and chairs that would make a small space look bigger. They can put the bigger tables outside instead. Anyhow, the use of recycled and handcrafted menu board and other stuffs inside the resto is commendable.


FOOD. We came to the House of Cashew for what they became famous for - their FRESH LUMPIA. The grounded cashew as a substitute to peanut gave the dish an oomph. The taste is indeed better compared to the other available local fresh lumpia. They also have a generous serving that would make you consider the Fresh Lumpia as a complete and satisfying meal - good news for those who are on diet. I would highly recommend people to go and try the House of Cashew's FRESH LUMPIA.

A pasta lover in me also tried the House's Lasagna. The regular serving for the price of Ninety pesos can be shared by two. The crunchy texture of the cashew made it unique and worth trying. I find the lasagna too sweet for my taste though, maybe my taste buds was used of loads of cheese on my lasagna.

SERVICE. It is really good to note that if you dine at the House of Cashew you will surely be take good care of. The owners are really hands on in managing the place that you would really get a quality service from their staff. Orders usually arrive the customers table after three to five minutes from the time the waiter took your order.

If you wish to visit HOUSE OF CASHEW:Showroom and Delicacy House they are located at #5 ECA Food Arcade, ECA building, Dadiangas Heights, General Santos City.

Foodie Critic: PIZAHAN

From the name itself, it is pretty obvious that PIZZA is the main attraction of this joint. With Mamma Marias introducing thin crust and huge pizza in General Santos City, followed by the equally famous Calda Pizza (both were featured on my previous posts) another Pizza Salon is getting popular for the Pizza lovers Generals.

If you are looking for a romantic place for your date, this is not the place for you. Pizahan is designed for a family, friend or a group who simply wants to enjoy each others company over pizza. Since it is an open space with picnic tables over big umbrella, the best time to dine there is late afternoon till the evening. Pizahan is more spacious compared to its neighbor Calda Pizza which is also has an Open Space Setting. We were at first a constant customer of the latter until they became too famous that they can no longer handle the growing demand of their customers specially on weekends and after work. Then we discovered this other PIZZA Joint on the same BLOCK which is less crowded and busy.

Hesitant at first but when I got a taste of Pizahan, I know I found a new place to go in times of my pizza cravings. Like its neighbor, Pizahan is generous with its spices, cheese and other toppings. Plus, its is a bit cheaper compared to its competitors. They also give freebies for its valued customer. Right now you XXL (36Inches) Pizza comes with 2 Pitchers of Ice Tea for FREE and for you XL (31inches) one pitcher of ice Tea. Aside from Pizza, they also got pasta and chicken meals on their menu.


During my last visit, they got new Pizza Recipes on their menu, like Shawarma and Barbecue among others. We usually order Quatro Stagione so appease everyone in my family's cravings.

Another worth noted is that Pizahan is open till Dawn and they serve beer incase you do not know. So if you are tired of the noisy bars and prefers the cozy type of drinking Spree Pizahan offers that type of fun.

Pizahan is located beside Lea's Pension House along Champaca          Street, General Santos City.                                  

These are FEW of my FAVORITE things - KAKANIN

I remembered when I was a child, when our rented apartment is five minutes away from the public market, my mom used to go to the market early in the morning almost everyday and comes home with a pasalubong at hand - Kakanin most of the time. I missed eating freshly cooked kakanin. Carb and sugar Overload! That's what you'll get if you are fond of eating few of the best Filipino Kakanin!


What is/are your favorite kakanin? Here are some of my favorites.

Kakanin OverLoad

PALITAW. Made from glutinous rice covered with shredded coconut meat. What made it more delectable is the sugar that comes with it. You can sprinkle the sugar on your Palitaw or you roll the Palitaw on the sugar before putting it on your mouth, either way is fine. I prefer the latter though. Now I am salivating.

PUTO. Steamed rice cake, eaten as is or with butter and/or grated fresh coconut or as accompaniment to a number of savory dishes for breakfast. As a personal favorite, I love pairing it with DINUGUAN.

BIKO. Rice is the main ingredient for this delicacy. Sweetened Rice Cake you may call, you will often get a served of this during All Souls Day. 

MAJA BLANCA. Made from coconut milk, cornstarch, and sugar. Often called Coconut Pudding, this luscious dessert is easy to make and the ingredients are very common here in the Philippines. Maja Blanca becomes extra special if you add corn kernels and top it with cheese. Yum.yum.

Foodie Critic: ASIAN TONGUE

The Food-Lovers in General Santos City got something to watch out for this March 13 of 2011. Another food haven  that would be serving dishes that are popular in different Asian Countries and they literally call the place ASIAN TONGUE RESTAURANT.

Situated in an area where most Government Offices are stones throw-away, the Restaurant is a big add-on the a growing food industry of the city. Not to mention, another place to do the Gastronomic Adventure that most Generals are up to these days.

Together with the other Socsksargen Bloggers for an "invite-only" treat, I got the chance to have a first taste of what Asian Tongue has to offer. Let me start with the ambiance.

AMBIANCE. The structure of where Asian Tongue is standing was once a simple Barbecue Joint. From the outside, the place seems unassuming but wait till you step inside. The renovation created a great transformation for the place and will now be known-ASIAN TONGUE. From the name itself, expect an Asian Theme of the restaurant. Since it has no AC, its advisable for the place to serve the eating public beginning late afternoons till the wee hours of the evening or so. The lighting is perfect for couple who are out on date or for a group of friends who want to chill and dine. Asian Tongue offers live entertainment for diners as well which you might consider an added attraction. 


Note to Asian Tongue: One thing the management has to improve though is their restroom. Make sure not to turn-off your possible regulars with smelly restroom. A simple but CLEAN restrooms are a good to go.

Food. Asian Tongue served the bloggers a complete meal during their visit. First, we got a serving of the  interesting Cheesy Seaweed, which by the way a "freebie" for their diners; sort-of a give away while waiting for their orders. The Cheesy Seaweed is a deep fried seaweed topped with cheese powder. 

Cheesy Seaweed

Next, is the Asian Chicken Salad for appetizer which am pretty sure our friends who love fresh salad would surely enjoy. Then, we also got a taste of their Tom Yum soup - Asian Tongue gave an extra kick to this soup which is a must-try, Came the main course which is the Chef's Chicken Inasal. To complete the meal, the group was served with Asian Tongue's Palitaw made of glutinous rice balls with a filling of langka covered with generous amount of sesame seeds.

For the food, I give Asian Tongue Three out of Five Stars. All in all, the food is good but lets give them a chance to improve. Remember, the place is yet to prove itself.

purely Asian Palitaw

Service. Upon arrival, I was ushered to my table and was warmly welcomed by a staff. Everyone was giddy and seems pretty excited for the opening of the place. Everyone was all smiles - from the manager to the waiters. It must be because they are trying to create a good impression. I am just praying that they will retain the  type of service they gave us that night. Good note about the waiters are they were somehow trained on how to handle their customers. Its good to mention to the diners on how long they will be waiting for their meals and standing up for the time you promised and Asian Tongue can give you that. Two Thumbs Up for Asian Tongue's Service.

Other. Asian Tongue has Wifi, a bonus for you who cannot live to be disconnected for the world wide web.     

Asian Tongue is located along Roxas East Avenue in front the City Social Welfare and Development Office.

They will be open to the public on May 13, 2011!

FOODIE XPRMNT - Beef Sapiaco

Its been awhile since the last time I made a post on one of my Kitchen Adventures. Maybe because, I kept on making the same dishes over and over, which is not worth posting.


Today, I thought I am going to prepare a Chicken Dish. I was about to search for a simple chicken dish aside from the infamous adobo when I checked the fridge and found out that the chicken is still rock-like frozen. The meat of the Beef is availably inviting though. So off to the Search Engine and check how to make the beef a bit special for a Friday Dinner. Then I remembered saying that I'll try making Beef Salpicao one day and today is that day.

Beef Salpiaco ala D

Here's the ABC in preparing the Beef Salpiaco:


1. You must have the following ingredients:
                          - beef meat (preferably sirloin/tenderloin) cut it into cubes.
                          - salt and pepper to taste
                          - minced garlic
                          - olive oil
                          - oysters sauce or soy sauce (whichever is availble)
                          - butter or margarine


2. Mix together the beef meat, salt, pepper and minced garlic.Let is stand for 10 minutes.
3. Add the Olive Oil. Marinate for 30 minutes or more.
4. Heat the frying pan. Sear the marinated meat. Make sure that the meat are browned uniformly.
5. Let the liquid dry-out before adding the butter to the mixture.
6. Serve while its hot.
7. You may also top it on plain rice.

TAGUM's Best FRESH LUMPIA

Here is a treat for you food lovers there in Tagum. No, I am not giving away free food coupons. I am just going to tell you where to get the best tasting fresh lumpia in Tagum City.


No, it is not regularly sold in your usual restaurant or food joints, but you need to order at least a day before to have a taste of this lumpia. Even big time caterers from this proud city ask for bulk orders once valued customers ask for Fresh Lumpia to be part of their menu.


Here is Mila's Delights FRESH LUMPIA. They concocted their own wrapper, experimenting at first until reached the perfection of a smooth fresh lumpia wrapper. For the filling, the key ingredient is the "UBOD NG NIYOG" as google translater put it Coconut pith. Added with other vegetable like carrots and sprinkled with spices, the filling is quickly fried to maintain its natural sweetness and crispiness. 

the anatomy of a fresh lumpia

Wrapping fresh lumpia is like an art that needs religious practice to be perfected. The secret though is not wrapping a very hot filling right away. Let it cool for some time before you work with your filling, your toppings(which may include cheese and peanuts) and your presentation.

Oopps, lets not forget the sauce - the one that completes a fresh lumpia. Mila's Delights got this yummy sauce specially made for their fresh lumpia.

Salivating now? Try Mila's Delights Fresh Lumpia. Tell your friends living in Tagum or visiting Tagum to try Mila's Delights. They also make a mouth watering Leche Flan, Chicken Lollipop and many more! 

For orders, you may comment below this post leaving your contact details.

Foodie Critic - Chicharong Hito @ BAR_KO

In a street where a line of food houses offering delicious barbecue to crave for, BAR_ko may look like one of the others. But wait! As we always say, DO NOT JUDGE THE BOOK BY ITS COVER. 

BAR_ko: Dine & Drink Restaurant is one of the food havens in Tiongson Arcade, Barangay Lagao, General Santos City. This unassuming place offers grilled chows like their delectable pork and chicken barbecue and seafoods.

the garlicky grilled panga

One of their best sellers is the Chicharong Hito which is to crave for. Even as I write this, I am salivating with just the thought of eating there again. The Chicharing Hito just got the right crisp on the outside and mouthwatering once you put it in your mouth. A special tasty vinegar sauce that comes with it gives an extra ooomph to the Chicharong Hito. Whether you are up for a drinking spree or food tip, Chicharong Hito is both good as "PULUTAN" or "ULAM".

the Chicharong Hito to die for

The next time you pass by Tiongson Arcade in Lagao, look for BAR_KO and have a taste of their CHICHARONG HITO! If your lucky enough, the proprietor himself ARVEIN JOHN LLIDO might be preparing it for you or his famous mom the City Councilor - Hon. Virgie Llido might be entertaining you.

Foodie XPRMNT - Chowking Inspired CRISPY FISH FILLET

Everytime I dine at Chowking, it's their Crispy Fish Fillet that I always go for. Its exact crispiness on the  outside did not dried up the juices of the fish. The white sauce it comes with is the perfect partner, complementing the fillet very well.

In one of my not so lazy days, I decided to prepare my version of Crispy fish Fillet for dinner. Praying for perfection, I came up with this:

For the not so master cooks like me, it is advised to have your fish, fillet at the market. For this one, I used TUNA BELLY (which is originally for the KINILAW of my papa...sssssshhhhh). Here are the ingredients used: fish fillet, bread crumbs, salt, pepper and other spices to taste and beaten egg. First things first, marinate your fish with salt, pepper and other spices you like, add the beaten egg. Then refrigerate it for 15 minutes. Then, roll it to the bread crumbs. Refrigerate for another 15minutes and it will be ready for frying. Insider tip: DO NOT FRY THE FISH FOR LONG, IT MAY DRY UP THE FISH. Once they are golden brown, take it out of the pan.


For the white sauce, you only need chopped garlic, parsley and mayonnaise. Put them together and VIOLA, you get your home made white sauce.


Perfect for a weekend meal with your family.


Bon apetit!

Foodie Critic - CALDA vs MAMMA MARIAS

 If you had been going around General Santos City lately, you must have noticed that there are lots of FOOD JOINTS sprouting like mushrooms. Another sign that the Tuna Capital of the Philippines is indeed progressing. Two places that are claiming popularity these days are the Pizza Joints-Calda Pizza and Mamma Maria's Pizzeria.

Both serve  affordable, large pizzas reaching up to 36 inches with different toppings to choose from. In case you been out of this planet and didn't heard about these two pizza joints, let me compare the two according to AMBIANCE, SERVING STAFF and FOOD.

Foodie XPRMNT - SPINACH FETTUCINI CARBONARA

Ten minutes to midnight and here I go again with my endless Cravings... Checked the Fridge and guess what I whipped up:

my version of the Spinach Fettucini Carbonara

Trying out the San Remo Spinach Fettucini (that's why our pasta is GREEN), made an easy to cook Carbonara sauce. Topped with cheese and bacon, we are good to GO!.. 


As professional chefs usually say, BON APETIT!

Foodie XPRMNT - Dimple's Taquitos

You can buy ready made Taco/Taquito Shells at your local grocery. It will not matter what brand you buy. Your FILLING and SAUCE will make the great difference. For your meat filling, you may either choose pork, beef, chicken or fish. For this one, I had sauteed beef sprinkled with spices. Prepare your special sauce,    a simple all-purpose cream will do (let your tastebuds explore and add extra spices if you wish). Chop other fillings, like fresh tomatoes, cucumber and onions. Grate cheese as well. Layer your filling on your taco/taquito shell. Have your meat as your based and the grated cheese as the toppings. If you wanted an extra kick, just add hot sauce.

Foodie Critic - Mamma Maria's Pizzeria

General Santos City is now one of the homes of the BIGGEST PIZZA in the world!

Yes!

Mamma Maria's Pizzeria is now in GENSAN. Located along Quirino Street of the downtown area you can have a taste of Authentic Italiano Pizza and Pasta...

Drool over the 27 different pizza flavors from a simple margerita to an interesting kinilaw pizza...

It's my second time there and I havent tasted all of their pizza...

During our first visit, we had the Mamma Mia Pizza consisting tomato sauce, mozzarella cheese, ham, ground beef, salami, onions, bell peppers...

On our second visit, we had this XL Family Size Mexicana "Hot" Pizza. An XL sized is a 21" that could feed up to 10 persons..

Pizza's of MMP are thin crust and is freshly made. That is why you have to wait for 15 to 20 minutes for your order..

Large Pizzas are served on a plywood...

The taste? the price you paid is worth it! See for yourself! Simot Sarap!


Meanwhile for their PASTAs..

They only have 8 varieties to choose from...

They have bolognese and Carbonara like these two...

These two are just so so compared to my favorite Pepperoni Pasta which is not available during our visit. Must be a best seller indeed..


Craving for Pizza and Pasta why don't you try them out one of these days..

Foodie XPRMNT - B&M Penne ala "D"

Here is another creation worth sharing everyone!

You might have noticed that TOMATO SAUCE and CHEESE is a staple on my creations..

For some obvious reasons, those are my favorite.. 

With Beef and mushroom, you can never go wrong in making a sauce...

Using Noodles Pasta, this is a plain SPAGHETTI...

But to glam it up, i used PENNE instead..

Enjoy!

Bon apetit!

Foodie XPRMNT - Pizza Melt ala "D"

Here i am in the Kitchen... craving for something rich and cheesy...

Blame it to my taste buds and my cravings that I tend to conquer the kitchen and ransack the fridge...

With the following ingredients at hand:

1. Loaf of Bread - we are a big patrons of JANICA Bakeshop
2. Quick Melt Cheese - i am using EDEN's quickmelt cheese
3. Ground Beef
4. Tomato Sauce
5. Various Spices

I present to you... my very own PIZZA MELT



If you can remember, years before, JOLLIBEE came out a variety of their pies called PIZZAMELT... I am totally a big fan of it that I was a bit disappointed when they ditched it from their menu...

Making these is very simple that you may do these with your kids at you very own home kitchen..

THE STEPS:
1. Prepare the filling:
- the SAUCE, is like what you used for spaghetti but for this particular dish you have to make it thicker. That is how easy it is.
-the CHEESE - i will give you the choice of either using grated or sliced cheese. as for me, the thicker the cheese the yummier it is.

2. Once the filling is done just set it for awhile.

3. Spread a generous amount of filling to your bread, top it with cheese and put another bread on top.

4. You may toast or bake the sandwiches. Whichever is available. For me, we have this special kind of toaster that divides a sandwich into half.

5. Pizza melt is best served warm...

the oozing cheese is heavenly

THESE ARE FEW OF MY FAVORITE THINGS - Pasta

I am a LAZY SLOB... i admit that!

i am a "Señorita" in the house!.. im sure my younger siblings hate me for that..

but... when one of the days that i feel like moving around, i do my rare KITCHEN EXPLORATIONS...

most of those days, i try to reinvent may favorites foods..

This one is my version of LASAGNA... got the idea of the white sauce toppings from GREENWICH Lasagna...

and thank God, trying it out was a success.. taste even better..

sorry for the mess... i still have to learn the art of food presentation

With some left-over pasta and a little bit of sauce left and almost forgotten in the fridge, which is usually the case everytime i am experimenting with food, I came up with a spaghetti style Lasagna...

Using scissors (clean ones of course), i stripped the lasagna to make it noodle-like in form

Heating up the sauce then voila!

You got an instant SPAGHETTI/LASAGNA

THESE ARE FEW OF MY FAVORITE THINGS - Pizza and my ASUS

In this world full of life pleasures... We cannot avoid to have FAVORITES...

This is only the first posts dedicated to my FAVORITE things, foods and etcetera in LIFE...

FIRST stop..

MY ASUS lappy...

this might be not the high-end type of notebook you see in the market but what i like about this is its SIZE and WEIGHT!... That i can even put it in my everyday bag. Inspite it's size this is pretty durable - as tested by times and by my little sister's curiosity... This is also good for NET Surfing...

Who does not eat PIZZA?

For me, i like THIN CRUST variety... i also crave for the PIZZA with everything on it with some oozing cheese...

You will enjoy eating PIZZA if you have someone to share it with..
