First Bite: Poke Shack

I have this insatiable appetite for salmon. My family and friends know this and it's a great way to know how I see you as I only share my plate of salmon sashimi with people dear to me. But one poke store made it easier for me to share as it offers generous serving of this delectable seafood in every order!

Hello, Poke Shack!

Poke Shack has been around for quite some time now. Located near Tiendesitas, it serves as a great dining option for people working within the area. It even offers free delivery for foodies at Tera Tower where Poke Shack is located.

All-Time Favorite: AySee

I used to dislike food such as isaw, laing, and yes, even sisig… but now, I just can’t get enough of it.

Last Sunday (yes, that was the day after I ate one giant chicharon for an eating contest), my mom and I went to Tiendesitas for some pork isaw from Archie’s.

On our way to Chillers for some shakes, I noticed something familiar… AYSEE!!! The famous sisig-an near Ultra is in Tiendesitas (and they just opened a new branch at Greenhills). Okay, I hardly visit Tiendesitas and I found out that they were there since 2010.

I wanted to order Tuna Sisig so that I will feel less guilty (as my heart was screaming for greens ever since I ate that giant chicharon). However, they ran out of tuna… and I was still craving for sisig. So… I ordered Pork Sisig (PHP120) instead.

If there’s sugar-less, there’s sugar-full!

Meet one of my favorite desserts—Sugar Full!

I find it interesting how we accidentally discovered this delicious dessert.

My mom and I were looking for something to share for a potluck lunch. Since there will be a lot of kids, we thought that dessert was the most brilliant idea ever. We then searched around Tiendesitas for cake or just about anything sweet so that we could say that we were able to bring something… anything. Then we came across KG’s Kitchen that sells desserts.

We asked the seller for their bestseller and she suggested SUGAR FULL. We were bewildered by the name. SUGAR FULL? We’ve all heard of sugar-less desserts but SUGAR FULL?

She gave us samples to convince us that SUGAR FULL was not a dessert that deserves to be laughed at. And she was right.

The fluffy mammon-like texture plus whipped cream and topped by sugar, sugar and more sugar (well some were melted and was turned into a crispy outer layer) was simply delightful. I fell in love... with sugar!
