My schedule has been running a little wild and amok lately but I’ve been praying to God to slow things down a bit. In fact, last night He made it happen. I suddenly found myself at home grilling burgers for myself and enjoying a good quiet time with Him after dinner. I planned to read just 4 chapters of the Bible – a practice a friend taught me to train myself to read The Word on a regular basis. Before I knew it, I read more than 4 chapters and was immersed in His words, filled with encouragement and a beautiful stillness.

The thought of a grilled cheese sandwich with Asiago, Parmesan, Mozzarella and Cheddar still snuck in sometimes, okay? 🙂 I’m only human. Human frailty is still present but yea I shoved those picturesque desires for crunchy gooey munchies and focused on my real Bread of Life.

Manang’s Clubhouse in Ateneo

October 3, 2010 by Janey

After plurking/tweeting about grilled liempo, Richard challenged me to try the best liempo he’s ever tasted. And this liempo can actually be found in Ateneo De Manila University.

On one agreed Wednesday in August, Richard and Irene picked me up from the office and we headed straight to my first choice of school, the ADMU grounds. Manang’s Clubhouse is quite famous for dishing out the best tasting liempo around, plus other dishes, and at such an affordable price.

On the Table

Manang’s Famous Liempo PHP 45 (2)

Thanks to Richard, my eyes were opened to the great-tasting liempo of Manang’s –who has become such an icon in the school grounds.

The slim cut of liempo, appropriately priced, had the right amount of sweet and soy marinade that seeped into the meat. The liempo was smoked perfectly leaving appetizing charred marks on the meat.

Ginataang Kalabasa at Sitaw PHP

Beans and Pumpkin in coconut cream was the perfect pair of the liempo. It’s a healthy side dish that complemented the grilled meat.

Giniling

Sautéed ground pork in tomato sauce with green peas, carrot, green bell pepper and potato

Rice (3) PHP

Bubba followed quite late but he was able to taste the liempo (complaining that I only left him a few pieces) and I got another cup of rice because two just didn’t cut out for both our appetites with the delicious Filipino viands in front of us.

After eating, I bought 2 more orders of liempo to go, which Bubba and I enjoyed at home. Next time, I’m going to buy more liempo to bring home and try their other dishes.

I’m from the rival school but if I knew Manang’s Clubhouse back in college, I wouldn’t mind driving all the way to Ateneo just to get lunch there.

By the way, CONGRATS to the Blue Eagles on the back-to-back UAAP basketball championship!!! 😉

72nd UAAP Men’s Basketball Finals (2009) Game 3: Battle for the Title

October 7, 2009 by Janey

The Ateneo Blue Eagles aimed to bank back-to-back titles when they clinched the first win in the final series of the 72nd UAAP men’s basketball tournament last October 1. The game ended with a 78-71 score with the Eagles leading the way by 13 points since the 1^st quarter. The UE warriors didn’t make it easy for the Eagles retorting with a 19-1 run before the end of the first half. The Eagles however held on to their game with the 2008 Most Valuable Player Rabeh Al-Hussaini clutching an impressive game with 28 points and 14 boards and Jai Reyes piling sets of triples.

Game Two proved to be a totally different story. University of the East made the most of the best-of-three finals bringing the series to a do or die match Game 3. Ateneo received quite a blow from the Warriors being behind by 20 points after the final buzzer. It’s been 24-years since UE scored a UAAP title and they want to discontinue that record this year. Last time Ateneo pulled a back-to-back series was in 1987-88, Ateneo is vying to replicate that.

The heat is rising –a smoking Game Three to watch out for.

Game 2 Scores:

UE 88 -Espiritu 22, Llagas 19, Lee 13, Acuña 12, Lingganay 7, Reyes 6, Zamar 5, Duran 4, Tagarda 0, Bandaying 0.

ATENEO 68 -Al-Hussaini 18, Monfort 12, Reyes 11, Baclao 10, Austria 6, Salamat 4, Long 3, Chua 2, Buenafe 2, Sumalinog 0, Salva 0.

Krispy Kreme Apple Cheesecake

May 5, 2009 by Janey

Two weeks ago, I had a movie date in Greenhills Theater Mall with my Mama Mia and Bubba. We watched Crank that stars Jason Statham and Amy Smart. I cringed a lot during the movie because it showed a lot of brutality and nekkid ladies and I was sitting beside my mom.

Right after the movie, the Krispy Kreme light was still on and dear mother craved for some hot donuts. She treated Bubba to a box of his choice donuts while we brought home a box.

Mother’s Day is around the corner. It is in fact this coming Sunday, the week following the Pacman – Hitman bout. One place I will surely head to is a Krispy Kreme outlet to get my mom a box of their lip smacking Apple Cheesecake Doughnuts.

Krispy Kreme fills the doughnut shells with tart, apple filling offset by a sugary drizzle of caramel and rich cream cheese icing. The Apple Cheesecake indeed looks like a mini cake with fresh slivers of red and green apples decorating the top.

Whatever you give Mom on Mother’s Day, it’ll be a small compensation for everything that she’s done for you.

Splurge on something decadent, sweet and indulgent for the occasion that celebrates the sweet loving woman in your life.

Serve for breakfast-in-bed with a steaming cup of coffee to start her day right or stop by any Krispy Kreme branch and treat her to the indulgence of the new Apple Cheesecake doughnuts, paired with Krispy Kreme Signature Coffees.

Krispy Kreme Doughnuts. Hot. Fresh. Now.
