Mum Eats: Let’s Talk Food

Note: This article first appeared on my foodie blog, Mum Eats, on 25 October, 2013.  :plate: 

Food and eating are probably two of everyone’s most favorite subject. Everyone loves food and everybody enjoys eating, after all! Food may mean a lot of things to different people ~ it may be a reward for a job well done, a source of comfort, a pat on someone’s back to keep going, a treat to celebrate a birthday or another special occasion, or simply a source of nutrition to give one the strength and energy needed to go about their daily activities. Either way, I bet you will agree, that we all share the same fascination for food.

Eating, in the same manner, can also mean a multitude of things to different personalities ~ it can be a means to survive, a source of pleasure, or a form of exercise. We have various ways on how we enjoy eating and some may be as mundane or eccentric as the next, depending on who sees it.

Anyway, however and whatever you eat today, make sure you enjoy the exercise, and the food, to the fullest. And while you are at it, you might as well enjoy these fascinating facts about food that Food Talk Online put together. Bon Appetit!

My nephew, Sean celebrated his 11th birthday earlier this month and he requested that we treat him to Wence’ Dessert Cafe. We’ve been wanting to try the place out but never got the chance to do it yet, so we set out to visit the place on Sunday afternoon.

It was a full house that afternoon and we were made to wait outside for awhile until a table is available. After several minutes, we were informed that a table for 6 has been vacated at the 2nd floor.

It is a very small place and since it was packed with diners that day, it was a relief to be upstairs where there are less people and noise. I wish they’d made the windows bigger, though, as the limited space upstairs is really claustrophobic!

We went to Aristocrat in SM North ~ The Block for the little man’s birthday lunch. Although this restaurant is well-known for their barbecue, we decided to skip it that day since the little man is not yet eating that. We opted for their friend chicken, instead, coupled with their pancit and ordered a couple more dishes. For our serving of vegetables, we had an order of fresh lumpia and laing. To complete our meal, we also had a serving of their beef caldereta.

The little man was preoccupied with his new toys, a pair of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles action figure, which we gifted him for his birthday. He only had a couple of spoonfuls of his serving of pancit before he went on to play with his new toys. The grown ups, on the other hand, had a really satisfying meal. I simply love the fresh lumpia and its sauce! Laing is something I do not eat quite often, since I do not know how to prepare it, so I really enjoyed this dish. It was just delicious with the right amount of spice in it. The crowd favorite that afternoon, though, will have to be the beef caldereta. It was tasty and the beef is so tender. I wish I can make my own version of this dish, I’d probably cook it every week if I know how to prepare it! 🙂
