US Frozen Potatoes Easy Cheesy Fries with Bacon Recipe

This Easy Cheesy Fries Recipe was inspired by the many possibilities or should I say, potato-bilities that anyone can come up with using US Frozen Potatoes - in business or at the comfort of one's own home. 

US Frozen Potatoes have been around the market for quite a while now. While most of us know that some of major food establishments in the country made use of US Frozen Potatoes for their culinary creations, some of us have little idea that as a consumer, we can also recreate those potato-based dishes at home.

That is not to say that we can completely ditch the idea of supporting our favorite restaurants, I am after all a food blogger that leans heavily on writing about restaurants. I am all for supporting creative minds feeding people with good food and decently making a living out of it. What I am presenting here however is the alternative spin when one got no time for eating out - especially if ingredients for your favorite dish are widely available in the market, just like the US Frozen Potatoes. 

Burger Company PH Got You Covered This International Burger Day

Truth be told, the Burger Company in Quezon City is one of my favorite local burger restaurants in Manila. It’s always on top three of my list whenever I am being asked for best burger place recommendation. For those who have already tried Burger Company’s burger offerings and then some, I am pretty sure you could understand why. 

But just for the record, let me say it straight, they are one of those that serve the best burgers in Manila.

So while I am working on food research for a writing project that requires me to visit the Burger Company, I figured it’s also the best time to check out their latest offerings especially that the International Burger Day (May 28) is already on the horizon.

McDonald’s Sans Rival and Oreo McFlurry

McFlurry with Sans Rival and McFlurry with Oreo - two of the many reasons why I have been frequenting McDonald's this summer season. With scorching heat of the sun, there couldn't be more apt way to beat the heat at a very affordable, not to mention sweet way than to indulge in these two McFlurry flavors by McDonald's.

Sans Rival and Oreo McFlurry are two of the Summer Desserts Lineup at McDonald's this season alongside Apple Pie ala Mode and the Apple Kiwi Surprise McFloat.

These two aren't really new kids to join the exciting food items at McDonald's. But due to popular demand, Sans Rival and Oreo McFlurry made a comeback to make McDonald's desserts aficionado  way sweeter. 

Kumori Japanese Bakery Philippines

Kumori Japanese Bakery which hails from Japan hit the Philippine shore recently and has now two branches; one in the basement level of Landmark Makati and the basement level of SM Makati. Kumori which bears the slogan “It’s Japan baked Daily” prided itself with their natural, handmade, fresh, and quality breads, cakes & pastries that echo artisanal baking craftsmanship of Japanese tradition.

First time I learned about Kumori was when I read it from Table For Three, Please blog. I am a big fan of cheesecake, hence, the Hanjuku Cheese, a bite sized Japanese cheesecake caught my attention immediately.

I have not visited the physical store as of yet, but it is one of those places I wish to check out sometime soon when I visit Manila. Friends from Kumori however sent over a package recently as a prelude of what to expect from Kumori Japanese Bakery Philippines.

Hap Chan Restaurant in Antipolo City [Antipolo Food Trip Series]

Hap Chan Restaurant located along Circumferential Road in Antipolo City is one of the few Chinese Restaurants in the area. Few being the operative word since majority of the restaurants in Antipolo is either Filipino or anything else not Chinese. For someone who loves Chinese food such as myself, it can be disheartening. Good thing though that there is Hap Chan Restaurant, one of the famous Chinese restaurant chains in the country.

There are two Hap Chan branches in Antipolo, the other one is located at the new Robinson's Place along Sumulong Highway. But the branch my parents swear by is the one along Circumferential since it is the one they frequent to especially when having our car checked at Goodyear Servitek located just in front of the restaurant.

While I have attended a family gathering held at Hap Chan Antipolo way back, I have not really dined in there as a customer ever since I moved back in Antipolo. But I know some people aside from my parents who are pretty much happy dining at this branch hence, I know I should visit sometime soon.

In celebration of Mother’s Day, Red Ribbon, the leading bakeshop in the Philippines has launched two special products; the all-time classic limited edition Mother’s Day Black Forest Cake and the Mother’s Day Mamon. This tribute to the special women in our lives is available at all Reb Ribbon branches nationwide from May 8, 2015 to May 10, 2015 only.

I have always been a fan of Red Ribbon cakes, as a matter of fact, during my first few years of blogging, I always write about my favorite cakes at Red Ribbon. Fast forward to today, it is still one of my go to bakeshops when we need celebration cakes. Now that it is nearing Mother’s Day, I am happy to know that they do have this promo, thanks to the good people behind Red Ribbon for sharing this good news to us.

Cake Shots PH: Cupcakes Infused with Booze!

Cake Shots PH is a home based food business that specializes in alcohol-laced cupcakes. I cannot count how many cupcake businesses I have come across with here in Manila but I must say that Cake Shots is one of those that piqued my interest from the get go. Not just because  I am appreciative of alcoholic beverages (specifically cocktail drinks) but also because it is such a breath of fresh air to encounter something unique within the boundary of something familiar.

I think I may have mentioned before here on the blog that I am not really big on cupcakes. I guess it has something to do with the fact that we have bunch of people in the family that could bake pretty mean cupcakes that I've already exhausted enough happiness from it to last me a lifetime.

Kapitbahay Filipino Restaurant in Antipolo City [Antipolo Food Trip Series]

Kapitbahay Filipino Cuisine is one of the new restaurants in Antipolo City I recently visited and decided fit for my Antipolo Food Trip Blog Series. Located along M.L. Quezon Extension, Kapitbahay Restaurant is fairly easy to spot since it sat just right in Palm Square Building compound in front to Antipolo Doctors Hospital near Lores Country Plaza. It occupies the same space of the now defunct Goto King Antipolo Branch.

We always passed by this restaurant to and from Antipolo Town Proper and with its nice view of its interior made possible by its see through glass walls, I cannot help but be enticed. The name is a dead giveaway that it specializes in Filipino cuisine.

I have not fully exposed myself in my hometown's restaurant scene since I've come back here but one thing I noticed by far is that most of the locally owned restaurants mostly focuses on Filipino cuisine. I still have some Antipolo restaurants to write about and majority of it is Filipino restaurant. Safe course to take, but it only goes to show that locals love our very own which is not really a bad thing.
