On this trip, I got the rib eye steak, my brother got the T-bone steak, mum got a spicy sausage and my sister got a cheese filled sausage. To top it off, we got grilled bacon with mash just in case we were still hungry after that. They were all good, but if I had to choose the lowest ranked dish, it would be the cheese sausage.

The bottled Mang Tomas lechon sauce or gravy had been part of our lives as Filipinos, using it as…read moresauce for either lechon, chicken, grilled or fried pork, and sometimes even lumpia or fried spring rolls. So imagine my shock when, on route to Quezon City from a sourcing trip to Manila, my friend told me we could pass La Loma to buy Mang Tomas lechon. I thought I hear him wrong or that he was joking, but he was VERY serious. On the way, he tells me that they were indeed the master creators of the sauce that the makers of the bottled sauce later on bought the recipe from. This however has not stopped them from roasting lechon and serving their heavenly sauce. It's really just a stall selling lechon and there is no option for dine-in, so we bought the lechon, got the sauce, and headed home to eat. Boy, it was delicious! Again, DELICIOUS! The lechon was superb, but the sauce, oh my goodness! It was thick and rich, with a distinct bite, and could be reminiscent of the bottled sauce but better. WAY BETTER. This is seriously the stuff legends are made of. For the company that bought the recipe, it's the stuff their company is made of and built on.

As a mommy, I do a lot of grocery shopping (obviously, I don't want my family to starve). MyOwn…read moreMeat Shop is my favorite place for meat shopping. Don't ask, mom's do that. We shop separately for everyday groceries, for clothes and yes, even for meat. This is a place where a lot caterers and restaurants get meat and fish in bulk. I love how everything is so organized. There are sections specifically for seafood, chicken, for imported steaks and for every kind of cut imaginable. The meats are packed so neatly, too! They vacuum-sealed in square bags so stacking them in the fridge is super easy. I love how fresh everything tastes when they're cooked and how lean the pre-packed meats are (even the pork). I love the selection of fish they have -- from Black Bass to Norwegian Salmon and in different cuts, too! Plus, if you're a frequent buyer, they keep records of you. Just tell them your name and they can show you records of what you've bought in the past. Great for keeping track of your budget...I don't know if they do this for everyone though, maybe just those weird moms who buy a week's worth of groceries as much as caterers do for a big event.

I am a gym goer, and there are seasons that it actually shows (albeit few). So I get a lot of…read morequestions about what I eat, how I prepare them, and where I buy my stuff. Well, I eat beef and fish, salmon in particular, and this is where I get them, in bulk. MyOwn Meatshop is, well, a meatshop, but they sell all sorts of frozen meats and seafood. Here you'll find imported steak cuts, frozen imported seafood like mussels, cod, salmon and other fish I've never even heard of, and I learned of this place by asking a caterer where they get their salmon supplies from. It is quite cheap, the salmon and the cod in particular, and they have it in different sorts of cuts and fillets. Do call in ahead to check on stocks though, as they are quite popular with bulk buyers and stocks may sometimes be limited. As for how I prepare my fish, let's just say that it isn't something that you can stomach on a daily basis, so let's leave that for another post somewhere else. "My meatshop? MyOwn Meatshop!" I just made that up. Thought you needed some cheese with your salmon. No? Ok sorry.

Don't get me wrong, this place is really convenient for those who live in the area. They have meat (obviously), vegetables, cooking oil, herbs, noodles, different sauces and ice cream. (I only go for the ice cream.) If you're a senior citizen (like my mom), don't worry if you forgot your senior citizen ID. They have all the senior citizens who live in the area and frequent the shop fill up a form. The cashier will just ask you for your last name, does some math and you get your discount. Another great thing about this little shop is that they accept all major credit cards. Don't have a credit card? You can use your ATM or debit card. Sorry, they don't make 'pa-utang' or 'pa-lista' though. Oh, and they accept reservations! Last Christmas, we needed chicken to make relleno. They didn't have any that day, but they said if you put in an order the day before you need it (your chicken or meat), they'd have it for you the next day.
