A day of ultimate food tasting experience “Foodgasm invades Maginhawa” #Foodgasm2015. I was really honored and flattered to be chosen as one of the blogger-judges of the event. Well Nov 17, 2015 was the week Lando decided to invade the area of responsibility.Judging that day was a definite challenge, I wasn’t able to use my DSLR, the fear of getting my cam to get soaked under the rain so I used my iphone instead. Well I was able to get a few shots and some were not of good quality. Imagine me, foodtasting under the pouring rain (well it drizzled most of the time) and scoring/judging the same time (hassle but challenge accepted). Kudos, also to my fellow bloggers for this “buwis-health” moment, for the giving justice to food. Im just glad I have my pals, Jacky and Jovi with me to assist me.
with Jovi and Jacky!
The best part is the eating part! Yes. Before anything else, I really aimed before the event to reach my fitness target goal of 79 kgs, and luckily I did. Deep down inside, I know the event would be my ultimate cheat day. I would be tasting 40 different food stalls (Set A and Set B). To be fair I would not be revealing my faves, because as a judge I have to be fair. Actually I had a hard time on deciding which – would it be the savouries or the sweets (I’m guilty of having a sweet tooth).
@krishgeekness
Not bad for P200 (pre-selling) / P250 (door price) to purchase tickets, I was able to ask some people who I met along the way and said it was “sulit”. For just one time payment, you get to taste a lot of foodstalls. There was also a bazaar, eating contest, programs & festivities prepared and I heard the concert was a hit, based on the posts I saw on instagram and twitter. The were also other concessionaires who rented a space, The main participants of the events were not charged for their tents. A back story of how they were able to gather participants – some of them registered and others were invited via emails and they did door-to-door. The proceeds of the event will be collected and used to support their college, high school scholars and partnered communities.
I congratulate UP Economics Society along with the sponsors and partnered organizations for being able to pull off the event even though it rained and there was a delay in following the allotted time frame. Foodgasm is an outlet to promote new up-and-coming food businesses in hand with the bloggers and social media partners in promoting the event. Congrats also to the winners!

The 2nd Open Kitchen Food Bazaar: The Best Kept Recipes of the Stars.
Would you imagine all of your fave local celeb foodie entrepreneurs gather together? Believe it. You’ll probably get a chance to have a selfie with your fave celeb.
A selection of goodie treats food selections and scattered at the Trinoma Activity Center – its hard to choose and decide (Seriously)
We spotted stars who were present that day (Saturday), PBB All-in Fifth Solomon, Celeb-politician, Ara Mina, The gorgeous Maricar Reyes, The young looking, Jean Garcia showcasing here home cooked recipes, The hunk actor and such a gentle man!, JC De Vera and The irresistible, Sir Chief himself, Richard Yap for LUNA J (He was about to leave, then he saw us and granted our simple request for a selfie- Thank youu!).
Other booths, I recall there was: TWIST (by the Endrenals) , Nacho Bimby (Bimby Aquino-Yap), Yobob Lechon (Paul Jake Castillo), O-shopping booth etc. We saw Vice Ganda’s face on the poster, but we ain’t sure which booth he owns and I heard of Kean Cipriano’s sisig somewhere.
My friends and I wondered what was the commotion going on at the Activity Center, then my friend noticed why are people taking lots of pictures– May mga artista eh. Well after our movie, we opted to grab a bite to eat, I suggested why won’t we check the place out to look for pasta. We roamed around, we weren’t able to try everything. We were looking for pasta actually – pero wala haha! 🙁
But then when we came upon JC DeVera’s The Burgery, I’ve heard of the good reviews and I wanted to try it ever since but their branch is so so far at BF Homes and to my excitement they might have a branch at Circuit (yipee!). I was telling my friend, I’m not gonna miss this opportunity. We had to wait tho for 30 minutes since they had a line of orders. But it was like less than 30 minutes, actually. The staff, the crew, JC even were so accommodating and kind 🙂
I ordered the “FAT TONY”, their bestseller. Then my friend ordered the BIG AL. The price rates are affordable and the burgers are big in proportions. Both were P170. My baby sis ordered the Bugsy (P130), She was indeed satisfied, she said “Its like Crabby Patty! – reference to SpongeBob Square Pants” –Seriously natikman mo na HAHA – baka sa istura ? pagbigyan ang bata.
Here is the menu:
To our surprise, ANG SARAAAAAP!
(BEST EVER Burger I had so far, authentic and legit beef patty, I love the sauce ❤️, the flavors played well right into my mouth. DELISH😋 – @krishgeekness
A good combination of sugar, milk and cocoa to create Nothing but great taste Cocio. Last September 3, 2015 at Whitespace Manila was the launch of the Iconic Danish chocolate milk drink. Cocio is now set to delight Asia for the very first time, starting in the Philippines, with the launch of Cocio classic and the global launch of Cocio Dark.

The Cocio Dark, which is my fave among the two, (since I love dark chocolate ever – its healthier!) was first introduced here, we are ahead of Denmark BTW! My take on the classic is ofcourse lighter compare to the bitter-sweet taste of Dark Cocio, but I love the flavor! The sweetness is just right, just how I love my chocolate milk drink.
Photo by Charlene Ajose
Here are some photos during the launch, the media had a taste of both, the classic and dark cocio. During the event they explained the contents of the drink, The history and future plans for the brand. I sincerely feel that the brand will be embraced here in the Philippines, Well Filipinos love sweets especially chocolate!
Photo by Charlene Ajose
The event was lively, there was band that played, good food was served, they served red wine that goes with the entree of cheese! I love the ambiance of the venue and they have great spots to take photos if you are going for a minimalist white backdrop. Honestly I arrived late but I was able to enjoy and meet people from the media 🙂
Photo by Charlene AjosePhoto by Charlene Ajose
Cute story, I was carrying a bunch of Cocio drinks, in the elevator of my friends’ condo I just got home from the event, a kind citizen helped me out with pressing what floor I am going to because I have my hands full. And she noticed the drinks and I told her you’ll be seeing them soon in the market, so watch out 🙂 – I think its already available?

PH Launch of Cocio Marks the Brand’s First Launch in Asia
After winning over the hearts of Europeans worldwide, Iconic Danish chocolate milk drink Cocio is now set to delight Asia for the very first time, starting in the Philippines, with the launch of Cocio classic and the global launch of Cocio Dark.
Jens Krog and Jun Cochanco
Local Cocio distributor FlyAce, a company that endeavors to bring the best of the world closer to the Philippines, finds Cocio remarkable in that the brand embodies FlyAce’s commitment to great taste and responsible ethical production.
“I was impressed with Cocio’s meticulous processes when I visited their office in Copenhagen. Every step involved – from choosing ingredient suppliers to advertising the product – stayed true to their core values,” said Fly Ace President Jun Cochanco. “Cocio is undoubtedly the best chocolate drink in the market, and we think it’s about time we share it with the country.”
This marks the first time that Cocio classic will be sold in the Asia Pacific region, and the first time Cocio Dark, which features more cocoa in each bottle, is to be launched ever.
Unlike other brands, Cocio advertises nothing except its great taste. It does not believe in overly hyping or in doling out claim after claim of benefits a consumer can get. Cocio instead uses their trademark wit and dry humor to focus on letting consumers know they can only guarantee one thing: that each bottle contains Nothing but Great Taste.
Not only is Cocio known for their distinct approach to their beverage and their marketing, the brand is a staple in the lives of Danes. Commonly paired with hotdogs, Cocio’s versatility invites consumers to think up of even more Cocio pairings.
A Tradition of Great Taste, Preserved
Developed in the home kitchen of Danish couple Anker and Ella Pallesen in 1951, Cocio is the result of much trial and error over the course of 2-3 years. In the pursuit of the greatest chocolate drink, they discovered that they didn’t need much. What was important was the quality of the ingredients and the science behind the process.
The recipe they created uses only 3 ingredients: milk, cocoa, and a little sugar, all of which are sourced from premiere suppliers around the globe. The milk is from Arla Foods, the world’s largest multi-national dairy cooperative owned by over 14,000 farmers; the plain sugar is from established sugar suppliers; and the cocoa are UTZ-certified from West Africa.
The fact that the brand uses beans that are UTZ-certified means that they are supporting the farmers. It means that Cocio supports sustainable farming and better living conditions for the impoverished.
Free from preservatives, Cocio has no artificial taste. Cocio is the only chocolate drink free from stabilizers in the market. Bottling the beverage and cooking them for a specific amount of time gives Cocio that rich and silky smooth feel. This is where the ingredients mix together to create a unique flavor. To this day, Cocio still uses the same recipe from 1951 and still upholds the same ideals.
A European Staple Coming to Asia
Following the immense success of Cocio in their native Denmark, the brand was then introduced to their Scandinavian neighbors Sweden and Norway. In more recent years, Cocio has also branched out to other European countries, and to the USA. Cocio continues to make waves as the beverage of choice for anyone looking for a straightforward cocoa drink.
This year marks the time the brand finally reaches Asia, through the Philippine shores. “We know that Filipinos will love Cocio because not only is it delicious, it’s also made from natural ingredients, ingredients that are perfect for those trying to adapt a healthier more wholesome diet,” explains Jens Christian Krog, Senior General Manager of Arla Philippines.
“Cocio satisfies the sweet tooth without any additives or false promises. It’s the kind of beverage that Filipinos will surely love.” Krog ends.

When I hear Auntie Anne’s, I remember one my best friends, Aimee, she loves their pretzels and I guess it has been her fave snack/merienda ever since college. I agree , Yes, their pretzels are delish! I’ve been a fan of their almond pretzels – which I mostly buy at Auntie Anne’s and lately I tried their pretzel filled with cream cheese (can’t remember the exact name), it taste good when you dip it on caramel sauce. They have other sauces like chocolate, caramel, cream cheese and cheese but I go for the caramel, it goes good with everything.
Well we’ve seen Auntie Anne stalls around your one –stop local malls and they’ve established a name already for baking, selling good quality and mouth watering pretzels. When you say their name, automatically, PRETZELS come to your mind. They have been in the industry for a long time and now, they upgraded themselves with a new look and concept but still its still the same Auntie Anne we love.
May 8, 2015 McKinley Science Hub Tower 2 – Keeping track with their number of branches, The launch of their 34th branch at the heart of Bonifacio city, a modern outdoor store located at Tower 2 McKinley Science Hub Tower 2. It is the newest Auntie Anne’s concept store, still baking fresh pretzels and concocting delightful beverages then providing the perfect Auntie Anne snack treat experience. This is their first non mall store, with the opening of their newest branch is the launch of the trending Slathered nutella goodness, and best seller Auntie Anne’s Pull-A-Parts, topped with Auntie Anne’s signature almond crunch and baked in a unique zigzag shape that makes it easy to tear and to be shared. Trust me, for all nutella fans out there is very satisfying, my tatste buds love it because I love sweets and hello its Nutella, for crying out loud! P85 not bad 🙂
If you love their pretzels, you’ll dig their NUTELLA PULL-A-PARTS (Slattered Nutella Goodness) 💛💙 Check out Auntie Anne’s new look and they just opened their 34th branch at McKinley Science Hub tower 2, at the heart of Bonifacio Global City, their first outdoor/ non mall store 💙💛 on the blog SOON.

I am thankful for the invitation of the launch of their newest branch. I am embracing their new look and since its an outdoor store they have seats and tables to seat near by- Finally , but I wish they have more, also their mall branches. I bet since its an office area, every break time office employees will be craving sweet and salty pretzels goodness and a cup of lemonade to go with since its also hot outside nowadays.

A Golden state of mind, and an endless summer—that’s the CaliFresh vibe that CaliBurger gives off. CaliBurger brings the highest quality, made to order burgers and only use pure, fresh, and simple ingredients that are “Always Fresh”.
Ever since CaliBurger opened its doors last February 2014, it has brought together the California lifestyle under one roof: great food, great service, trendiest design, art, and music.
CaliBurger has also already shared its amazing burgers to different parts of the world: Hong Kong, Shanghai, Taiwan, Kuwait, Dubai, Philippines, and soon also in Kuala Lumpur, Washington DC, and Canada!
Last, April 15, 2015 CaliBurgerPH Invited selected Bloggers for the #EatShootBlog Event at Century Mall Makati to try their latest addition to the menu this summer. I am very lucky and grateful to be invited and try the Cali Chicken Sandwich, Chipotle BBQ Sandwich and new milkshake flavors. I have tried Cali Burger before at their Timog Branch, across GMA Network and I could say, it was delicious, good flavors and legit beef patty. I am a fan of their “summer -set sail – bright colored interior”.
Now that summer is here, CaliBurger is celebrating it with new and delicious additions to their menu:
7 New AmazingMilkshake Flavors
In addition to CaliBurger’s classic milkshake flavors (chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry), there are 7 Amazing New Milkshake flavors that all the boys (and girls) in the yard are starting to talk about. This summer, you can now cool down the heat and enjoy CaliBurger’s refreshing new milkshakes: Tutti Frutti, Bubble gum, Butterscotch, Coffee, Mixed Berries, Blueberry, and Rootbeer. All of CaliBurger’s milkshakes are hand-spun and made with real rich creamy ice cream and fresh milk! (Price: Php175)
Had the opportunity to try the different flavors of milkshakes. My fave is the Bubblegum flavor (Best seller), My next fave is the Coffee – its semi sweet (I love coffee that’s why), Next Butterscotch (Similar to sea salt caramel) and then Blueberry would place last. The difference between the Blueberry (More sweet) and Mixed Berry (This is lighter in the tummy)
Spicy “Chipotle BBQ Chicken Sandwich”
I am not really allowed to consumed a lot of spicy food, but If you are a fan and into spicy food, you can definitely try this. Its delish but its up to you to handle the “spicy-ness”, Moderate spicy I could say. The condiments, are compose of a JUICY and TENDER lemon & herb marinated chicken breast, GARDEN FRESH red plump tomatoes, CRISPY bacon, TANGY pickles, sliced onion, and their house made SPICY chipotle BBQ sauce, this hot new concoction by CaliBurger is sure to bring more heat this summer! (Price: Php 215 a la carte; Php295 meal with fries and drinks). It is GRILLED.
Healthy “Cali Chicken Sandwich” with Avocado sauce!
Last but not the least, what better way to start summer than with the newest and healthy addition to their menu, the CALI CHICKEN SANDWICH! Made with grilled succulent CHICKEN breast, garden fresh vegetables, and mixed with their special AVOCADO sauce, this dish is simply delicious! (Price: Php 185 a la carte; Php265 meal with fries and drinks). It is GRILLED too! Im not really an avocado fan or guacamole but Im a fan if its a donut flavor and now on a sandwich, its really good and its the healthiest choice on CaliBurger’s menu. Time to savor and be fit this summer !
Driven by the commitment to provide the best, most attentive and friendly customer-service and engagement, CaliBurger has been taking technology by the helm, creating activities such as Cali Trivia Nights, Xbox Kinect interactive play, live NBA viewings, LIVE viewing parties like the “Pacquiao vs Mayweather” fight this May 3rd, as well as private party packages at Century City Mall. Many things are also in the pipeline such as new menu items that are worth breaking that diet for.

Okay, I have been trying out different ways of losingweight. I have been in this debacle dilemma for years.(Masarap kasi minsan kumain, Amen to that!) Story of my life: You lose then gain, then lose then there gain ulit. (a repetitive cycle)
I started losingweight seriously, when I started hitting the gym at 18, It was a “debut” gift to myself. Apparently,
I was having a hard time juggling with my studies and gym (I take like 2 hours +) , . I “stress-eat” that’s why. Especially
my course is Nursing, the subjects were getting harder every day plus duty at
the side. Ofcourse, my social life, friends asking you out to dine here and
there (who wouldn’t resist). So I’ve stopped hitting the gym during the
second semester of my 3rd
year, I was more focus for my review for
the board exam then until I passed my PNLE last May 2014, thats when I decided to
get back to shape. #BalikAlindog2015
I admit I got so fat. I got to the point I was 90 kilos
plus.
My mom and Godmother were suggesting I try those “Healthy
Home Delivery meals” that they see local celebs posting on their social media
pages. I’m like, why won’t I give it a try, in line also with my workout and my daily
routine at the clinic. The thing is that
I have no time preparing my meals because It’s sort of a hassle for me. Then I
mostly hit the gym on weekends. So I definitely
suggest this kind food delivery instead of fast-food , especially those who
live in dorms or have a busy work life.(Para
hindi ka na mag-isip what to prepare and it is healthy pa!)
Not bad P1800 for 5 days, Take it like this, if you divide it for 5 days, It is P360 per
day. Admit it you tend to spend more than that, Other services offer 2k plus. It maybe “gastos” for others, but it is an investment.
Reasons why “Healthy Food delivery” is beneficial?
1.
It isn’t time consuming – somebody has that job
covered to prepare the meal plans.
2.
You tend not to “labas” pera all the time. One payment basis thru bank deposit.
3.
It is healthy pa!
4.
You get to control what you eat – It is already
in portions (You can cheat naman, “tikim-tikim”
only – Don’t deprive yourself)
A quote I learned from the gym, they say “70% nutrition and 30% exercise”. My
mom would quote, “ Sa kain lang yan,
talaga”. Having atleast exercise 3 times in a week and a good diet =
healthy lifestyle.
It’s a blessing in disguise that Delicious diets were
looking for lifestyle/fitness bloggers to try them out.
At first I was a bit hesistant (SInasabi ko, kaya ko ba to?), I just told myself Summer is
approaching, “tiis-ganda”. Since the challenge is Monday to Friday, I have work
at the clinic from 9am till 6pm then I only
do night swimming as my exercise. The week I started with DD (Delicious Diet) I
got to miss a day or 2 , not able to swim because I was hella tired with duty
and chores, but then I always felt “light”.
Food diary:
Here is the Delicious Diet Meal Plan during Jan 26-31, 2015
Weight(Jan 17,2015- Muscat, Oman): 86.8 kilos –
I was already losing weight before pa.
Note: Try to
atleast weigh yourself early in the morning on an empty stomach.
Day 1 (Monday) : 5/5
I complied. I just
wasn’t used to it, just having those certain portions, It didn’t seem enough,
My typical breakfast is rice talaga.
I had a bit of side cheats but it was “tikim-tikim”
of pancit canton #MSGpaMore from my co-workers – they tried to tempt me JOKE!
Our canteen makes the pancit canton looks so appealing and the smell is very
tempting (Yeap, I listed down my side
cheats, so It seems very “makatotohanan”).
Going back to Delicious diets, After you microwave every
meal, the aroma fills the entire room.I
suddenly became a fan of the organic rice and their wide variety of teas. Love
the tea biscuits tasted like pesto , (so good) .
Everything tasted delish, pero bitin. YUN NGA LANG.
Day 2(Tuesday) : 3/5
I love the breakfast, its my typical everyday breakfast, but
it was a way healthier version.
I wasn’t a fan of the
quinoa rice, I had issue with the smell but If you ate it was “masarap naman” I loved the taste of the herbed chicken.
For snack, I wasn’t
really a fan of yogurt at all ever at all when I was a kid, I had issue with
the smell also. I ate atleast half of it though. I just said to myself
(tiis-ganda).
The dinner tasted so good,I finished it instantly.
SIDE CHEAT: So
far I only cheated with a condesada
skyflakes crackers – just one pack.
Day 3(Wednesday): 5/5
MY FAVORITE SET – I swear I didn’t cheat
EVERYTHING TASTED LIKE HEAVEN.
Day 4 (Thursday) : 5/5
– THIRD FAVORITE
I Love TEA TAHRIK (3-in-1 tea) – the aroma and taste so
soothing plus that and the sandwiches, I felt full already.
Growing up I love eggplant especially “tortang talong”, kaya the lunch was bitin but it was masarap, the
dinner too. I love to munch on the biscuits during my break time.
Note: I did not cheat. – I was trying too because I was seeing the results
at the weighing scale.
Day 5 (Friday): 5/5 2nd
FAVORITE
Oh-la-la carbs galore. From breakfast to dinner, everything
tasted great. My taste buds were enjoying everything. Mabilis din ako nabusog infairness.
SIDE CHEATS: Had
a few spoonfuls of cake.
Note: Everytime I
side cheat – I had to have to do extra lapses when I swim and I do light abs
and core workout – to compensate .
Weight: 83.9 kilos –
Booyah!
Second week, was a
charm. “Masyado ko na enjoy ang
weekend” haha! – I went back to 84 something kilos. I was unable to workout
during the weekends too, so sad. I was aiming 82 something. See the effect, “Kain talaga”.
Here is the meal plan
for Feb 2-6, 2015
Day 1/5(Monday): 5/5
(Photo @mariesteller/@krishgeekness)
All was perfect, love
everything especially the dinner (mashed potatoes <3 ) Good vibes to
start the week!
SIDE CHEATS: A
sandwich and slice of cake (lagi may
nagdadala ng grasya sa clinic)
Note: No workout much within the week, I was able to swim
probably only twice because I got tired from volunteering at the wellness
booths/medical mission during foundation week of TUA.
Day 2/5 (Tuesday): 4/5
Suprsingly “nabubusog
ako agad” I didn’t have the urge to crave more. Congee wasm y favorite. My
first time to try Baba Ganoush, taste similar to Hommus (middle east kid <3 )
Day 3/5(Wednesday) : 5/5
(Photo @mariesteller/@krishgeekness)
Waffles for breakfast, the bomb! <3 The rest were yummy meals, yet “bitin” but you have this “sanay” feeling. It was my favorite set
that week.
Day 4/5(Thursday) :
5/5
It was my first time
to try OMURICE, delish.
My fave was the tea crackers – MAGIC FLAKES Barbeque flavor
<3
Day 5/5 (Friday) : 5/5
Beef Shawarma!, plus point. Suprisingly by dinner time, I
was full, wasn’t able to finish the salad. The cupacake for the snack was so
good, I wasn’t able to ask what was the flavor tho. Oh well, it tasted good. Haha! – Sorry busy
saving the world (buhay NARS), marami inaasikaso at
iniisip.
Weight: 83.6 kilos
not bad, krish.
Why Delicious Diet?
1.
The meal plans they prepare per week, isn’t just healthy but appealing. Different meal plans per week,” hindi ka magsasawa”. Their choices of teas and snacks (pastries)
are awesome – not typical or common brands. All heavenly delicious, “bitin” but
you’ll get use to it.
2.
P1800 per week
for 5 days ain’t bad, inclusive also of delivery (as explained kanina)
You only pay once a week thru bank deposit. Compare to others, DD is way cheaper,
you get to save more, other healthy food deliveries offer like 2k plus. – I got
a lot of friends, who subscribed. They saw the benefits because we have the
same living condition and we all wanted to lose weight. – Thanks friends!
3.
1200 calories, okay na diba?- The point is, “Isinasanay ang tiyan mo na kumain ng kaunti kaunti lang”
4.
Hindi na ako nag-iisip kung ano kakainin ko from
Monday to Friday, its just over the weekend I have the challenge to cook and
learn recipes since its my day off. (My mom ain’t worried anymore)
5. They deliver everyday, served fresh and good quality. Just have to
refrigerate to preserve it.
6.
They deliver AM 5 AM-9AM, and Night 5:30 pm and
9pm. Not a hassle, I go to work before 9pm actually, so its more of your
preference.
7.
The owners are awesome! They attend to you when
they can
8. Proven Trustworthy.
Your loving and sweet PBB girls (ALL-IN) love their Delicious Diet Meals

A quote I learned from the gym, they say “70% nutrition and 30% exercise”. My
mom would quote, “ Sa kain lang yan,
talaga”. Having atleast exercise 3 times in a week and a good diet =
healthy lifestyle.
It’s a blessing in disguise that Delicious diets were
looking for lifestyle/fitness bloggers to try them out.
At first I was a bit hesistant (SInasabi ko, kaya ko ba to?), I just told myself Summer is
approaching, “tiis-ganda”. Since the challenge is Monday to Friday, I have work
at the clinic from 9am till 6pm then I only
do night swimming as my exercise. The week I started with DD (Delicious Diet) I
got to miss a day or 2 , not able to swim because I was hella tired with duty
and chores, but then I always felt “light”.
Food diary:
Here is the Delicious Diet Meal Plan during Jan 26-31, 2015
Weight(Jan 17,2015- Muscat, Oman): 86.8 kilos –
I was already losing weight before pa.
Note: Try to
atleast weigh yourself early in the morning on an empty stomach.
Day 1 (Monday) : 5/5
I complied. I just
wasn’t used to it, just having those certain portions, It didn’t seem enough,
My typical breakfast is rice talaga.
I had a bit of side cheats but it was “tikim-tikim”
of pancit canton #MSGpaMore from my co-workers – they tried to tempt me JOKE!
Our canteen makes the pancit canton looks so appealing and the smell is very
tempting (Yeap, I listed down my side
cheats, so It seems very “makatotohanan”).
Going back to Delicious diets, After you microwave every
meal, the aroma fills the entire room.I
suddenly became a fan of the organic rice and their wide variety of teas. Love
the tea biscuits tasted like pesto , (so good) .
Everything tasted delish, pero bitin. YUN NGA LANG.
Day 2(Tuesday) : 3/5
I love the breakfast, its my typical everyday breakfast, but
it was a way healthier version.
I wasn’t a fan of the
quinoa rice, I had issue with the smell but If you ate it was “masarap naman” I loved the taste of the herbed chicken.
For snack, I wasn’t
really a fan of yogurt at all ever at all when I was a kid, I had issue with
the smell also. I ate atleast half of it though. I just said to myself
(tiis-ganda).
The dinner tasted so good,I finished it instantly.
SIDE CHEAT: So
far I only cheated with a condesada
skyflakes crackers – just one pack.
Day 3(Wednesday): 5/5
MY FAVORITE SET – I swear I didn’t cheat
EVERYTHING TASTED LIKE HEAVEN.
Day 4 (Thursday) : 5/5
– THIRD FAVORITE
I Love TEA TAHRIK (3-in-1 tea) – the aroma and taste so
soothing plus that and the sandwiches, I felt full already.
Growing up I love eggplant especially “tortang talong”, kaya the lunch was bitin but it was masarap, the
dinner too. I love to munch on the biscuits during my break time.
Note: I did not cheat. – I was trying too because I was seeing the results
at the weighing scale.
Day 5 (Friday): 5/5 2nd
FAVORITE
Oh-la-la carbs galore. From breakfast to dinner, everything
tasted great. My taste buds were enjoying everything. Mabilis din ako nabusog infairness.
SIDE CHEATS: Had
a few spoonfuls of cake.
Note: Everytime I
side cheat – I had to have to do extra lapses when I swim and I do light abs
and core workout – to compensate .
Weight: 83.9 kilos –
Booyah!
Second week, was a
charm. “Masyado ko na enjoy ang
weekend” haha! – I went back to 84 something kilos. I was unable to workout
during the weekends too, so sad. I was aiming 82 something. See the effect, “Kain talaga”.
Here is the meal plan
for Feb 2-6, 2015
Day 1/5(Monday): 5/5

All was perfect, love
everything especially the dinner (mashed potatoes <3 ) Good vibes to
start the week!
SIDE CHEATS: A
sandwich and slice of cake (lagi may
nagdadala ng grasya sa clinic)
Note: No workout much within the week, I was able to swim
probably only twice because I got tired from volunteering at the wellness
booths/medical mission during foundation week of TUA.
Day 2/5 (Tuesday): 4/5
Suprsingly “nabubusog
ako agad” I didn’t have the urge to crave more. Congee wasm y favorite. My
first time to try Baba Ganoush, taste similar to Hommus (middle east kid <3 )
Day 3/5(Wednesday) : 5/5
(Photo @mariesteller/@krishgeekness)
Waffles for breakfast, the bomb! <3 The rest were yummy meals, yet “bitin” but you have this “sanay” feeling. It was my favorite set
that week.
Day 4/5(Thursday) :
5/5
It was my first time
to try OMURICE, delish.
My fave was the tea crackers – MAGIC FLAKES Barbeque flavor
<3
Day 5/5 (Friday) : 5/5
Beef Shawarma!, plus point. Suprisingly by dinner time, I
was full, wasn’t able to finish the salad. The cupacake for the snack was so
good, I wasn’t able to ask what was the flavor tho. Oh well, it tasted good. Haha! – Sorry busy
saving the world (buhay NARS), marami inaasikaso at
iniisip.
Weight: 83.6 kilos
not bad, krish.
Why Delicious Diet?
1.
The meal plans they prepare per week, isn’t just healthy but appealing. Different meal plans per week,” hindi ka magsasawa”. Their choices of teas and snacks (pastries)
are awesome – not typical or common brands. All heavenly delicious, “bitin” but
you’ll get use to it.
2.
P1800 per week
for 5 days ain’t bad, inclusive also of delivery (as explained kanina)
You only pay once a week thru bank deposit. Compare to others, DD is way cheaper,
you get to save more, other healthy food deliveries offer like 2k plus. – I got
a lot of friends, who subscribed. They saw the benefits because we have the
same living condition and we all wanted to lose weight. – Thanks friends!
3.
1200 calories, okay na diba?- The point is, “Isinasanay ang tiyan mo na kumain ng kaunti kaunti lang”
4.
Hindi na ako nag-iisip kung ano kakainin ko from
Monday to Friday, its just over the weekend I have the challenge to cook and
learn recipes since its my day off. (My mom ain’t worried anymore)
5. They deliver everyday, served fresh and good quality. Just have to
refrigerate to preserve it.
6.
They deliver AM 5 AM-9AM, and Night 5:30 pm and
9pm. Not a hassle, I go to work before 9pm actually, so its more of your
preference.
7.
The owners are awesome! They attend to you when
they can
8. Proven Trustworthy.
Your loving and sweet PBB girls (ALL-IN) love their Delicious Diet Meals
