Tikim 68: Maria's Ilocos Empanada (Fairview, Quezon City)

Have you ever tried eating Empanada? or at least tasted Ilocos Longganisa? An empanada is a stuffed bread or pastry, baked or fried. I have tried different kinds of it, but Maria's Ilocos Empanada gave me a different view of their one of a kind empanada.

A lot of my friends told me to go visit their place and try one of their empanadas for a change.

I ordered one of their best sellers The Double Longganisa with single egg (P80) since it is really recommended by many.

 

besides its famous empanadas, the place also sells Ilocos delicacies and items!

AND HERE IT IS! I was really surprised to see this BIG empanada served in front of me! it was really not what i was expecting since I have only tried a few empanadas in my entire life and they were the cute and tiny ones, just for snack time. Although this one's different since the coating was unusual, crunchy and tasted much better than bread or the typical coating of an empanada.

The inside part was filled with delicious Ilocos Longganisa and the egg made it taste even much better! 

Every bite was definitely worth it and now i know why this is highly recommended by many. 

If you're an empanada lover and would like to taste something different that the usual empanada, Maria's Ilocos Empanada will be a sure satisfaction for you guys!

Tikim50: Tea Prince (Fairview, Quezon City)

So far, all of my recent posts are about tea places and drinks, but before i take a turn into trying another thing, let's try to see my new chill place TEA PRINCE. 

Tea Prince

I've always wanted to check this place out because i find the name interesting and all and when i got there, it gave me the aura that i was expecting. The place was bright and cozy. great place to study or unwind.

We all know the saying "curiosity killed the cat", right? well, I'm curious whether they offer same teas like every other tea shops or if ever they'll satisfy my craving for a new taste.

They had different drinks to offer and even a few snacks if you're hungry.

Oh, and a new add-on too!

I tried the Cherry Blossom fruit tea and my friend got the chance to drink the Dark Choco Milk Tea drink.

And remember the saying I stated above?

Yup! Definitely gave in!

All I can say is that they gave me the new taste I want to try and you have a chance to write on the opinion board.

Oh and yeah! I'll introduce you to a cute figure below.

So if ever you need some place to relax or want to satisfy your curiosity with a new drink, TEA PRINCE is definitely a must try!

Tikim35: Read and Brew Coffee Shop (Pontiac Street, Fairview)

After a tiring day from school, I felt like eating some sweets since I already ate dinner out. I tried to visit a coffee shop near our place called Read and Brew. Read and Brew, or most commonly known as RnB offers really great pastries and coffees, but not only that! They offer different Pastas to Milkshakes! 

Here's their menu set. Blackboard with colorful chalk writings!

their super colorful counter.

                                                                      

and as you can see below, they have a white boad which you can write about anything (even your secrets or contact details if you like. HAHA.)

their wide variety of flavored tea.

and since I'm still full that time, I just ordered BANANA CUPCAKE which I haven't tried yet.

it's crunchy on the outside but really soft and chewy on the inside! considering I haven't eaten Banana cupcakes for a long time, i think it's really good to eat something like this after a long and tiring day. 

They offer great and yummy delights for affordable prices. :)
