Quarantine

Been several days since we came back form our trip. On a 14 day self quarantine and most of the world is on the same predicament. Our means of communication is through online news, Facebook and several other media outlet on different streaming mediums. For now, Anna's been catching up with her Netflix shows.


One thing we're so thankful is for the fast and reliable internet.

Yema Cake

Visiting Lola in Cabanatuan was one of our task that needs to be done while here in the Philipines. And a visit to Cakeland is a must. It's where we would get our baked goddie fixed. And the yema cake caught our eye. We've been wondering what the fuss is all about. Friends and family have been raving about it on Facebook, and unfortunately San Diego has not caught on, unless we've been to lazy to hunt it. By the way, yema is a sweet custard confectionary from the Philippines. It is made with egg yolks, milk, and sugar. The name yema is from Spanish for "egg yolk". As a kid, my mom and grandma would make these a treat and wrap em in a plastic colored celophane. Small community stores would also sell these. But upon trying it out, and since we've been on the Keto diet, the sweetness was just overwhelming. We have a video review to show our take on this gooey goodness.

AngryDobo

Judy Ann Santos is on our subscription list on Youtube. And now that we're in the Philippines, we get the chance to actually dine in her retaurant named AngryDobo which mainly focuses on her signature adobo dish.



We actually just happen to stumble on her Westgate branch since we just got done shopping some neccesities in S&R. It was passed 8pm and we cant decide where to have dinner. Upon strolling the nearby restaurants, Anna said we should try this place. The menu was easy and it was different take on most Filipino favorites.



So we ordered Kanchos, which was kangkong (water spinach) deep fried with batter topped with salsa, adobo flakes, cheese and black olives. Adobong Kangkong and Adobong pork belly. We also had the Calamansi Juice which was so refreshing.

All three are good but the pork belly was too salty for us. We think that this should be eaten with rice. Majority of the menu are adobo dishes. Too bad we warent able to eat/order more than 5. Given the chance, we'd probably go back just to try what other frankenadobo they have created

Price: 3 out of 5. Since we're based in the US, the price is actually not too bad.
  
Customer Service: 4 out of 5. You order upon entry and food gets served after seating. Staff was friendly and attentive

Food: 3 out of 5. Kinda like a Filipino fusion. The menu is probably 80% adobo dishes

Parking: 4 out of 5. We parked by Uniqlo/S&R and it's paid.

Address: Westgate Center, 1770 Filinvest Ave, Alabang, Muntinlupa, Metro Manila, Philippines

Website: They dont have one. They have an FB page (I think)
