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 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.

These are FEW of my FAVORITE things - POWERSPOONZ

I may be out of tune with this post; but hey, this belongs to the FAVORITES category. Its been awhile since I made a post about my favorite things. This time I will be writing about my latest DISCOVERY. It is quiet surprising for I am not a big FAN of NOISY Rock Bands, but the kind of the noise this band brings sends me to Nirvana (exxagerating a notch there).

I heard and seen them first at the ATTACK OF THE SOUTH Gig in Davao of March 26, 2011. They were with Urbandub (another favorite) who topbilled the event. I went to the event because of Urbandub, not knowing that I will be meeting one of the Most Awesome Bands of my time. This time, its not an exxageration! Its a FACT.

Powerspoonz @ Davao

Like the now popular band URBANDUB, Powerspoonz hails from the Queen City of the South - CEBU! Composed of Francis "Akit" Po on Vocals, Franklin "Franny" Veloso and Brian "Baby Brian" Estellore both on Guitars, Ian Lim "Yanix"  Sekong on Drums and Simon "Boobop" Nuñez on Bass, the guys are among those respected bands in Cebu. With quiet a number of followers in their hometown, they are also getting famous in some parts of Mindanao like Davao and General Santos City through internet.   


Speaking of the Power of Internet, Powerspoonz are one of the newer bands to lend their musical talents to Live! The Album, and already their sounds are inspiring Filipino gamers worldwide! Their music can be heard worldwide, as two of their song “Bakbakan” can be heard at the Game Heroes site! Game Heroes is dedicated to all the online gamers worldwide that are the very pinnacle of their favored online game. Another song, "Barrio" can be heard at the Level up! Music Site!

The blend of rap, hip-hop and nu metal of Powerspoonz originals are addictive. I even have "Fire on the Dance Floor", as my phone's Ring Tone. I never grow tired in listening to "Serendipity" which is one of their slow tracks. 


Another quality of the group that got me attracted to them is their never-ending energy during a live performance. It seems like Powerspoonz' music and performance electrify their crowd and turn them into Spoonhead Zombies - in a good way. The MUSIC and ENERGY is CONTAGIOUS!

As written, Powerspoonz gains its influence from such genres as; reggae, rock, nu metal, progressive,industrial and old skool rap amongst others. In some of their performances, it is evident that the group is inspired by Bob Marley and Damien 'Jr. Gong' by covering them both.


You may haven't heard about Powerspoonz yet my Dear Readers! One thing I can tell you, WATCH OUT FOR POWERSPOONZ! 

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!

Trying SWEDISH MASSAGE

I've been longing for a full body massage since the beginning of this month. Schedule had been so very busy for me the previous months plus a big event lined up for me on the second week of the December add up the Holiday season.Whew!


Can somebody treat me for a nice and relaxing massage?


Wait no more! Just yesterday, I had a taste of what they call a Swedish Massage for FREE!


I was not impressed at first. I am used to hard massages like the traditional HILOT, not until I had my left arms finished.

Swedish Massage got me on my arms

For you massage virgins, Swedish Massage is the way to go, especially if it is your first time at a spa. 

During Swedish Massage, massage therapists use massage oils to facilitate smooth, gliding strokes called effleurage. Other classic Swedish Massage moves inlcudes kneading friction, stretching and (sometimes) tapping.

about.com

Swedish massage uses firm but gentle pressure to promote relaxation, ease muscle tension and create other health benefit.

Relaxation for FREE

Commonly, during your Swedish Massage session, you are nude under a towel or sheet lying down; but for my case, since it is free, I am on a sitting position with my clothes on. It must be more relaxing when your lying down and nude, must try that one soon.


Again, Swedish Massage is best for first timers but if you had been going in and out of spa for times already, you might not be happy with the gently and smooth strokes you will be getting from this particular type of massage.

a Gentle Head Massage

Did i mentioned I had it for FREE? Yes, I got from the Stratford International School Swedish Massage Students under the program of Technical Education and Skills Development Authority or popularly known as TESDA. They need to massage number of people as part of their On-the-Job Training.

Special thank you to JOHN MICHAEL- the trainee Massage Therapist 

and to Laurienz for these camera phone photos.

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.

the CONVENIENCE of the backyard MALUNGGAY

Before we say goodbye to the Nutrition Month, which falls every July, let me give you a special NUTRITION MONTH entry.


Rainy days is officially on for this tropical country. It is nice to include a soup dish in every meal to invigorate our wet and tired human bodies after a hard days work. In one of those type of days, I decided to prepare a simple "TINOLANG ISDA" or fish soup. Since it is raining hard, I was too lazy to go buy some vegetables to complete the soup, thank goodness for the MALUNGGAY from our backyard to the rescue.

moringa leaves

Known as an excellent source of nutrition and a natural energy booster, Malunggay or Moringa oleifera Lam is loaded with nutrients, vitamins and amino acids. In the Philippines, pregnant women and nursing mothers are advised to have a daily dose of soup with young malunggay leaves for it is helpful in increasing breast milk in the breastfeeding months. It also provides nearly all of the woman's daily iron and calcium needs during those stages.

Aside from its leaves and bods, other parts of Moringa have different uses as well. Commercially, the BEN OIL extracted from flowers can be used as illuminant, ointment base, and absorbent in the enfleurage process of extracting volatile oils from flowers. The oil, applied locally, has also been helpful for arthritic pains, rheumatic and gouty joints.

Our grannies made full use of the Malunggay in their backyard, by doing the following:

•  Pods for intestinal parasitism.
• Constipation: Leaves and fruit
•  Decoction of boiled roots used to wash sores and ulcers.
•  Decoction of the bark used for excitement, restlessness.
• Pounded roots used as poultice for inflammatory swelling.
• Juice of roots is used for otalgia.
• Seeds for hypertension, gout, asthma, hiccups, and as a diuretic.
•  Juice of the root with milk used for asthma, hiccups, gout, lumbago.
•  Poultice of leaves applied for glandular swelling.
•  Pounded fresh leaves mixed with coconut oil applied to wounds and cuts.
• The flowers boiled with soy milk thought to have aphrodisiac quality.

                                                                             Source: STUARTXCHANGE

As I was preparing the dish, I came to the realization, that poverty is not the ultimate reason for malnutrition and hunger. Growing vegetables in the backyard is only one of the easy ways to hinder the growing number of unhealthy children in the world. Moringa is one of the many vegetables that can be grown in our backyards or in pots (if you lack space). 

Let us not blame each other for what is happening with the world, better start doing something for the betterment of it.

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 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
