Rarely Ordered | Adventurous dining or insanity? You decide.

Last year, when KFC released the Double Down in the Philippines, I had the idea of combining it with Mc Donald’s Double Cheeseburger(sans the buns). And the DOUBLE DOUBLE was born. Mostly because they have the word ‘double’ in their names. That, and cholesterrific food are the best kind of food. True story.

So imagine my delight when KFC relaunched the Double Down a few weeks back. The Double Double lives again! This time, with a third ‘double’. I decided to Lutherize it by adding two Krispy Kreme doughnuts as buns. Congratulations, your DOUBLE DOUBLE has evolved into the TRIPLE DOUBLE!

Damn, son! Just look at that!  I placed it in the microwave for around two minutes to melt the cheese. When it came out, the bottom doughnut collapsed under the weight of all that meat after absorbing so much of the Triple Double’s death-juice. Continue Reading →

I NEED TO KNOW!

Somebody tell me!

We interrupt your regularly scheduled SITE INACTIVITY for a..*gasp* BLOG ENTRY!

I got a call from the bestfriend a few of weeks ago. He and his girlfriend were on their way home home from their long-weekend trip at Lian, Batangas. He yelled “SEA URCHINS” for a good 30 seconds before asking me to meet them at his place for a midnight snack. He had acquired half a cooler of sea urchins that were STILL ALIVE and wanted me to document the process of gutting and eating it. How could I say no to that? Continue Reading →

What I expected:

What I got:

I’m not saying that I’m pissed off at the false advertising here, but lets face it, wouldn’t you want to have that MVP quad stack near your heart?

I like that the thing is quite big, the meat was plentiful and burgerrific. It’s a bit too burgerrific. Not enough bacon and pickles to balance out the flavor. I consumed like 10 packets of ketchup before I could even finish it! For the price of P 265.00, the four patty one is worth a try. The three patty I would order if I’m hungry, two patty would be good for an in-between, the single patty for a snack.

Giving it a 4/5, worth trying but gonna not buy again soon.

You can be sure that if a food place starts with the word "WANG" there has to be something interesting about it.

One of the best places our family went to during our winter trip to Beijing is the Wang Fujing night market.

The highlight of the place was all the street food! Most notably, these exotic food items which are a little bit pricey but quite worth it for the experience. They had a wide range of food items such as scorpions, tarantulas, moths, centipedes, snake meat, chrysali, and a lot more.

Case in point:

I never knew starfish were even edible.

I would have eaten this but I used to keep one as a pet.

And this too I kept as a pet. As for the centipede, I just didn't eat it because it was plain expensive.

Now THIS is what I ate. The poor caterpillar never got out of the cocoon... and those that did still got their wings removed and served right here.

Don’t you just have those times where you just want to buy food from two different restaurants? But you then find it awkward to bring food from another joint? Well we apparently lack the embarrassment organs so we were able to even do this:

With the power of Mcdo and Shakey’s combined!

Ren here, after the ashes cleared for the end of the Christmas season. My friends decided to conspire against me and go on diets! So what does a good friend do? I conspired too, to kill, desecrate and humiliate their diets!

me with willing victim no. 1: Joanne: who bought a box of cupcakes at Serendra.

The not so willing victim no. 2 RJ

To kill his diet we decided to dine at Zong at the fort. To make things worse, we made RJ chose what dishes we would eat and destroy his diet with. It will now be his job to describe each delicious dish, to add to his torture.

Still under the dilemma of where to for lunch and deciding to leave it to a coin toss Napoli’s is where we ended up.

Its a small italian restaurant located in Thomas Morato Scout rotonda. It has a white, green, red banner hard to miss.

Hungarian Sausage Spaghetti

My phone decided to be a bitch today and let the picture of the other dish get corrupted so I can’t post it. Other than having three sausages in the plate, a fact pointed out by my cousin.  Its pretty good not sweet, kinda sour which hits the spot. The size of the serving is enough for the both of us as we were both *ahem* large.

As for the sucky pictures you gotta take them as I don’t want to carry such a huge expensive camera to take good shots. I’m no Jedi hence I can’t use the force to take good pictures with an UBERLY expensive camera.

More notably they can’t fit in my pants.

Other than our usual activities of humiliating ourselves in David’s kitchen, we decided to humiliate ourselves further by coining this idea of making crazy burgers. I think the next time we try this again we shall be disowned and or be hanged in their yard.

Chocolate Burger

I know what you’re thinking right, what came to our minds to actually come up with this crap. Well this is just one of my brilliant ideas.

As expected it tastes what exactly the ingredients are burger and chocolate (We were aiming to have a chocolate center which I guess caused this). Continue Reading →

I was walking down Pearl Drive, Ortigas near University of Asia & the Pacific today when I noticed a stand with a name that got me curious:

Sprite ZERO.

The stand offered free taste: a tried and tested PR mechanism that lets people become familiar with a product line – especially effective if it is new.

They even had a cameraman get testimonials from people who got the free taste. I agreed to give my testimonial.

After drinking a cup I asked “So what is the difference between this and Sprite Light?”

“Sir Sprite ZERO has zero sugar and zero calories.”

Funny enough, Sprite Light already did not have sugar or calories. And some of you may even wonder at this: but neither did Coke Light. Check the nutrition labels: 0 sugar, 0 calories – all of them.

So you may ask so why is it that they created the ZERO variants in the first place?
