Yesterday, 150 bloggers were invited to join the Trinoma Bloggers Food Tour which were organized by the said shopping mall and Yehey! The tour started around 2:30 for the registration at the Cinema Lobby and meeting fellow bloggers. They divided us into 5 color groups (consist of 20-30 bloggers) that represent which floor the bloggers will start the tour. Aside from that, they also handed us a give-aways which contains Hershey's Chocolates, Ayala Notepad, Yummy Magazine and a free cinema admission ticket.

Well, it was an afternoon of fun and food. Just imagine going to 34 restaurants and eating all the food they prepared for us. It was an afternoon of pigging-out. To name a few of the 34 restaurants who confirmed for the tour were TGIF, Jack's Loft, Italianni's, Holy Cow Chop House, Fish & Co, CYMA, Bubba Gump, The Madison Grill, Hosseins Persian Kebab, La Maison, Crustasia, Cabalen, Terriyaki Boy, Super Bowl of China, Bacolod chicken Inasal, Conti's and Bread Talk. Isn't that wonderful? Well, we didn't get the chance to go to all 34 restaurant ''coz we were full after our 5th stop and of course we run out of time for being such a camwhore ;) The tour ended with a band performance by SOUND and raffles prizes were given away. Unfortunately, I didn't get any grr..

Well, all in all it was a great and fun experience. There are food that are ok and there are those that are really sumptous. So here are some of my favorites from last night tour. I'll just let the pictures talk for themselves. Opps! Sorry! I don't have a photo of La Maison's sumptous Creamy Wine Mussels. But I asure you it's really very yummy.

The restaurant has a great interior and a nice ambience. The food are not that expensive but unfortunately it has a small serving. The staff are really friendly (of course they should be hehehe... ). And lastly, the service is really good and really fast.

Early this morning, I went to SM Megamall around 8:30 for my first (and I hope not the last) Bloggers' Breakfast at Sugarnot. And thanks to Enrico for bugging me for days just to go. Actually he's been inviting me to attend press cons, launchings, blogger events and so fort and so on, but my usually reply was "ok! Thanks but no thanks!" or "Sorry, I don't know anyone there, I'll just get OP". Well, I don't know what came to me and I said "sure why not?!" Maybe because I'm about to go back to Bacolod and I want to grab the chance to experience it and meet fellow bloggers. Well, whatever the reason is, I'm grateful that I went and meet this bloggers who were present during the breakfast, namely: Bea and Mark of Clickthecity, Ajay, Marc, Nina and Ryan, Noemi and Eric. And before I forget, we also met Sugarnot! CEO Wolf Lambsdorff, who told us everything we need to know about the company.

Sugarnot! is the first and only sugar-free coffee shop in the country. Not only do they serve coffee but also they offer meals, cake. Well, this coffeshop/pastry shop is really good for diabetics and dieter who wants to satisfy their sweet tooth without worrying about their sugar intake and counting calories of what they are about to eat for sugarnot! offers a sugar free, low-carb and low-fat goodies. They uses Isomalt sweetener in their concoctions as an alternative to sugar for it only contains 2 calories per gram.

Well, my favorite in all the food spread in front of us earlier was the Last Temptation their all time best-seller. It is really sumptuous and you won't think that it is sugar free. Everything just tastes good from coffee to pastries. And what's best to my first Bloggers' Breakfast are the take home goodies. Yippie! More Last Temptation, Oatmeal cookies and yummy Ensaymada. We were also given Gift Certificate and a VIP card which entitle as to a 10% discount.

st Monday, my friend MM, Mei and I went to Greenbelt for a quick lunch, or should I say dinner 'coz it's already 4PM. While, brainstorming (hahaha..) where to eat, one of our friend, Tintin, text that we should try Tropezz Restaurant Bar 'coz according to her the place ambience is really good and the food are great. So, we went there, even though we don't have an inkling on what to eat.

When we arrived at Tropezz, we asked the waitress what’s their best selling food and she said we should try Spag tropezz. So Mei decided to order Spag Tropezz and I ordered Linguine de adobo, while MM, who arrived 2hours later, ordered Tropezz belly mucho. Well, the food is great, the servings are very large and what’s best is the prices are affordable. Also if you're hanging out with friends they have a live band every night around 9PM 'till the wee hour in the morning.

Well, this is a must try Restaurant Bar. So, what are you waiting for?

Well, today is my birthday and we (me and my sis) celebrated it at CrustAsia. My sister wants me to invite my friends for dinner but unfortunately they are not available. I told her that I'll just treat my friends out for dinner the next day. Anyways, our first plan is to eat at burgoo (podium) but when I arrived there, I was craving for seafood, so we ate at CrustAsia instead. We ordered garlic oil Lobster, buttered oatmeal shrimp, kangkong lechon and bagoong rice.

I like eating there 'coz the food are scrumptious, especially the Garlic Oil Lobster. The design of the place is really good and it has a nice ambiance. And the good thing is the price is not that expensive.

Well, I just want to thank my sister for it. And thanks to everyone who greeted me.
