Mad For Garlic: Wow! I See Garlic, But I Don't Taste It!

Wazzup Pilipinas!

This food review is long overdue. I promised it will come out within a week but I have been so very busy the last few days until now, and the coming days so since I was with my kid when we visited this restaurant, I asked him to write it for me. He loved the dining experience so much that I am encouraging him to blog as well, so he will soon have other opportunities in the near future. Maybe he is not the youngest blogger out there but it would sure help a lot to improve his writing skills.

So please remember that I am posting the article he wrote as is, without any correction or modification on my part. Please also take note that he is just a 13 year old kid, and this will be his first time to "blog" or write a food review.

Please read on the food review of my 13 year old kid, Hezron Kyle.

An email coming from an IRRI staff excited me that day because it was another opportunity to get out of Metro Manila and visit Los Banos, Laguna. My first visit there - attending a Hackathon - gave me great memories, and I'm glad the IRRI people remembered me because I would like to have beautiful memories again.

Without any hesitation, I immediately replied and eventually we were able to arrange for transportation to take me and a few of my Wazzup Pilipinas family of bloggers to IRRI's Photo Exhibit of Birds.

That's me! Eventhough the invite was just for me, I always make it a point to share the experience with my peers. To share the blessings with my fellow bloggers who would also like the opportunity to witness a very noble program ran by great people who aim for the greatness of our country.

It was again that time of the month when my wifey needed some pampering....and what else would be equally great or better than shopping, but to go on a beauty make-over.

We only have one name to go to for that particular requirement and that's at Ystilo Salon, partially owned by the popular celebrity Vina Morales.

What's great about the salon is that it has very friendly staff that's willing to help you out in your make-over decisions. They would advise you of the proper and more appropriate treatments that would be perfect for you.

Budget-wise, the salon charges very reasonably - right-smack to what we can afford.

I really never expected that there could be a place that would surprisingly serve street-smart gourmet dishes that's fit for a king but priced for the average citizenry.

Chef Arch's Lime (Streetfood na Pina-Sosyal) exceeds all expectations, similar to my experience at their Kanto Freestyle Breakfast where you'll be in extreme awe once you've seen and ate the meals that comes out of their small kitchen.

Its a feast that's comparable if not totally beats anybody else with a fancy ambiance and prime location.

It seems like just a neighborhood family business, which is true, but wait till you taste their specialties, and you'll probably wonder "Why on Earth are they still stuck in this place?"

If you thought Cif Cream was just for the kitchen, think again.

It also emphasizes that even though Cif is made for tough cleaning, it’s still gentle enough to use on a variety of surfaces. It can be used in the kitchen, the living room, the garden, and even on dirty leather goods.
