Tramway Garden Buffet

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ATE NYDIA!!!

Thank you for the birthday blow-out at least nakapag-bonding ever tayo kahit konti. Nalaman ko kung paano kayo mag-jamming ni Tito Gener......nakakuha ako sa iyo ng tips kung paano ako makiki-jamming kay fudra in the near future...hehehe

My wish for you? Sana magkatuluyan na kayo ni ----blip!blip!---- at mag-produce ng maraming maliliit na nydia...hehehe.

Anyhoo,this is actually the first time I heard of Tramway Garden Buffet. Kung di pa magse-celebrate ng 18th [wink*wink*] birthday ang aking beautiful cousin na si Ate Nydia, hindi ko pa malalaman na such a resto exists in Timog Ave.

 Picture ni Ykaie habang naghihintay sa labas ng resto. Dinner time ito at yang mga oras na yan ay gutom na kami at natatakam na si ate sa lechon sa picture sa signage. Pero sa totoong buhay, wala palang lechon sa buffet table.......Ahahahaha

iismayl-smile yan pero wag ka, nung kainan na  borlogs sa couch....

Then here comes the food. Sorry for the blurry food pictures. Medyo nahirapan ako at itinatago ko sa ibang tao sa buffet table. Wala pang flash. Baka kasi malurky sila at kuyugin nila ako pag inakala nilang sila ang kinuluhanan ko ng picture.

Seafood Miso Soup

Di naman ako sure kung yan nga ang pangalan ng soup na yan pero sure ako na may miso at seafood yan..hahaha. nasarapan nga ako jan eh. May crabsticks at shellfish yan sa ilalim, kailangan kalikawin mo para makuha mo.

Egg Drop Soup

Actually, tinikman namin ito ni ate at the end of the meal. Parang naging dessert. Ganun talaga sa buffet, huli mong kainin ang sa tingin mo ay hindi masyado masarap, para hindi ka luge.

 Sa totoo lang madaming tao sa Tramway. Kasi naman sulit na sulit ang buffet nila na P208 per person during weekdays and weekend dinner.

Tig-isang plato ng Buchi at Pakwan

Bago pa simulan ang paglamon ay nagsikuha na agad sila nito. Excited. Kaloka!

Buffet Table

Orange Pork and Fried Rice

I was expecting Lemon Chicken pero  fueydi na rin...

Pancit Bihon at ..(?) Ginisang Pechay

Hindi ko ito pareho tinikman kaya di ko alam kung masarap ba sila at kung masarap ba itong mga pechay na ito...

Dimsum

The one under that, siomai. Ito masarap kasi masarap sya isawsaw sa chili-garlic oil, toyo at calamansi..

Fried Siomai

This one..I lurve!♥  Crispy crunchy siomai dipped in chili-garlic-calamansi-soy-sauce!

Steamed Fish

parang di na masyado masaya pichuran dahil paubos na pero masarap naman din sya.

Century Egg Slices

Yan ang dating tukso kay peanutbutter♥ noong nagtatrabaho pa kami bilang human coffee maker sa istarbak...

Squid Curry and Eggplant Churva

Peborit ko ang squid curry, may kinakainan kami nyan sa Ongpin na masarap talaga, pero itong eggplant churva ngayon ko lang na-try. Sa buffet pa!

Pork Roll and Chicken

Yung pork roll para syang ground pork na ni-roll sa nori tapos yung chicken parang soy chicken pero di ako tumikim.

Seafood Macaroni Salad and Sweet and Sour Pork

Another peborit ko yang sweet and sour pork kaya tuloy sandamakmak ang nakain ko nyan....burp!

Bread, Bicho-Bicho Rounds, Banana Roll with Sesame Seeds and Fried Veggie

Mga pampa-alis suya pag ayaw mo na ng meat...sweetened breads..

Salad Table: Veggies with Thousand Island Dressing, Pasta Salad, Buco pandan Salad and Watermelon

Syempre mas masarap ang Buco Pandan Salad ko dito, pero carry na..kinain namin ito lahat...

 Ginataang Halo-Halo

weird ang pagkalapot nito at lasang banilya [vanilla]

My first plate.

Tikman ang lahat. Kumuha ng tigkokonti.Mamaya na kumuha ng marami kung may magustuhan.

Matapos magsilamon at mangabusog ay nakuha pa magpa-picture..hahaha. [Fr L to R] Joffrey, Ate Tess, Ate Nydia a.k.a. Birthday Gurl and Ate Irene. Hindi ako sumama sa picture..hindi ko maatim..hahahahah..

Over-all experience? I had a nice time with everyone. Sana maulit ito kahit na walang manglilibre..

Saturday night....

Ang mga boys nagha- hapi-hapi. Magliliwaliw daw sila. Sigurado pupunta yon sa -----. I don't have a problem with that as long as they only LOOK or WATCH. Ano kaya gagawin kong libangan?? magma-malling? Paano ko naman gagawin yon? eh 11:07 na ng gabi at nagbabantay pa ako ng shop?

Mang-stalk na lang kaya ako ng tao sa Facebook? I assume I can also LOOK or WATCH. Equal rights.heehee. I just hope that these people I wanna stalk would stop being Jurassic and would try to make an account in FB....hay naku, I have to find an alternative.

 -----------------

Wala na akong gana kainin itong KFC Zinger na "supossed to be" dinner ko.......

Weekends

Weekends na!!! As if naman there's something new sa akin pag weekends na. Eh from monday to sunday, iisa lang naman ang schedule ko. Wala namang ibang nangyayari. Hindi ko naman day-off, dahil wala naman akong day-off. Ang kaibahan lang pag weekends katabi ko si peanutbutter♥, kahit na nga ba minsan ay katabi ko nga sya pero wala sya sa sarili dahil nagkayayaan sila magpe-friends na mag-inuman.
Maalala ko, natawa ako sa narinig ko nung isang araw sa radyo habang nakasakay ako sa taxi papuntang SM.

"Aanhin mo ang gabi,
kung wala ka namang katabi?
aanhin mo ang katabi,
kung wala namang mangyayari?"

Hahahaha,tawa ako ng tawa..oo nga naman, sayang!

LP: Hapunan - TENGALING

 

Ang Tengaling o Crispy Tenga ay masarap na pulutan o ulam sa mainit na kanin. Malutong-lutong ito,pero hinay-hinay lang at mataas din ang cholesterol nito. Sarap nito isawsaw sa Mang Tomas na sarsa o suka't toyo na may bawang at sibuyas. Yan ang ulam namin noong isang araw.

Kung gusto nyo malaman kung paano iluto ito ay pumunta lang sa aking kusina: The Peach Kitchen

ito po ang aking lahok para sa . Magandang Huwebes!

harassed ako ngayon

Waaahhh.. I feel so HARASSED today. As in!! Kagabi pa ako nag-iinstall ng games dito. Games, by the way, courtesy of Rizza of Life is Fun. Thank you, thank you sooo much! Ikaw pa dumaan dito sa amin..hehe at least nakita mo si peanutbutter♥ a.k.a. Sunshine ng super bagong gising.

May nagpa-reformat ng PC dito sa shop kasama na rin install ng games. Syempre itong si chuva ay may-I-tanggap naman. Hala, nakita ko ba naman kanina sa station # 4 bumoborlogs? Kawawa naman ang lolo,I'm sure pagod sya kasi galing sa pagko-callboy kaya pinatulog ko na. Ako na lang ang nagtuloy ng pag-install ng games. Bukod sa mga online games ay may dala pa yung customer na mga offline/LAN games na pag-aari nya at pinapa-install.

My gas! Sukang-suka na ako sa pag-iinstall, di na nga ako halos makapag-post at wala talaga akong nagawa buong araw kundi mag-install ng mag-install. In fairness, mukhang maganda itong Luna Online at  ang cute ng graphics. naeengganyo akong maglagay dito sa server at maglaro kaya lang mas lalo akong walang magagawa nito kapag idinagdag ko pang laruin to.

Nag-install din ako ng Audition at nami- miss na to laruin ng customers dito sa shop.

At yung Twelve Sky 2, na-install ko na rin pero di pa sa lahat ng computers..

P.S.
Humabol ako ng pagpost kase baka paggising ko bukas hindi ko na matandaankung ano ang mga nangyari sa akin ngayon..hehehehe

Ykaie Shots

Heto na ang resulta ng pagsayaw namin ni ate in Igiling-giling nung biyernes ng hapon...

tsarann!! O diba? ang ganda ni kulot??

Coffee Frozen Yogurt (large) with Bluberries, Peaches and Mangoes (P145)

I am a froyo junkie and a coffee lover so when I saw that there's coffee flavored froyo in californiaberry I didn't think twice and ordered a large cup with three toppings. I think I just died and went to heaven when I tasted my first spoonful.

If you are familiar with pinkberry frozen yogurt from the US, you will notice some similarity between that and californiaberry. Even the color scheme is the same.

I find this "have a free taste" stand-in very cute.

I wanted Ykaie to pose beside it but she was having one of her tantrums...

What's nice about californiaberry is that they offer their frozen yogurt in three flavors: Original, Green Tea and Coffee.

Racks

Racks was the "IT" restaurant back in college. This is where the sosyal people eat. I wasn't one of them, I think I was able to eat here once or twice back then..After that, lots of new restaurants started to come out and Racks slowly faded from the limelight. Now I think it's making a comeback with some newly built stores, one in SM North EDSA...

After a very tiresome afternoon...

Onion Brick (P140)

Sis wanted some onion rings but they were out of it so the waitress suggested this. It was supposed to be an appetizer but came in last so we were kind of full when it came.

I am not really a fan of Racks but when I saw this new store I know I would wanna give it a try. I didn't like it the first time,when peanutbutter♥ and I ate here for lunch but I give second chances... So I told sis, this is where we're having lunch last wednesday.

Racks Baby Ribs, half slab (P300)

Served with Racks baked beans, corn bread, sweet country relish and your choice of one side dish.

Those ribs won't be complete without Racks original barbecue sauce...yumm!

Gravy Fries

We chose this as a side dish because Ykaie loves fries...

Carbonara (P148)

I was craving for some oh-so-creamy sauce and this hit the spot!
