Shrimp Bucket (UP Town Center, QC)

Last Sunday, after Centris we went to Shrimp Bucket in UP Town Center for lunch. The inside was full so we just got the tables outside. We bought their Salted Egg Shrimp, Mussels, Beef Short Ribs, Fish and Chips and Fried Squid. I was not able to get the names of the dishes but that is it more or less. We were first served the fried squid. It was really delicious and will definitely order it again. The squid was very tender and it was really tasty. The dipping vinegar complemented the squid. Next to be served were the Shrimps, Mussels, Beef Ribs and Fish and Chips. The Beef ribs was very salty.

Farinas Farinas Empanada (White Plains, Quezon City)

Image
Yesterday, i went to Farinas Empanada to buy Empanada. I took a break from waiting at the bank. My number was 457 and the number they were calling when i left was just 200. I got the Ultimate Empanada for 99 Pesos. Then also saw they have dinakdakan too, ordered that too for 130 plus rice. My buddy M ordered Miki. The dinakdakan was so-so. The dinakdakan which our caretaker makes is  much much better. The empanada was so so too. The miki according to M was a failure.

Yesterday Afternoon we went to Megamall to buy a Clothes Dryer at SM Appliance and when we passed by Tim Ho Wan there was no line so after buying the dryer we decided to eat there. We informed the girl who was taking seat reservations that we were 3. She told us to wait. In a few minutes she asked us if we were complete. We said yes and asked the reason for this. She said they will only give the table to those physically present and if there was someone not present then you will have to wait for that person. Tim Ho Wan Megamall Branch Anyway, we were seated and menus were already on the table (their placemat is the menu) and a checklist & pencil was there where we will put our order. We got the following: Baked Bun with BBQ Pork - Delicious hot buns with very tasty BBQ Pork filling. A definite must order. Prawn Dumpling - very fresh tasting prawns. Delicious. Another must order.
