[30 DAY BLOG CHALLENGE] If you could only live off of one food and one beverage for the rest of your days, what would they be?

Hiya, guys!

I'm on my tenth day of the blog challenge, and I'm asked with the question, "If you could only live off of one food and one beverage for the rest of your days, what would they be?"

Honestly, I don't know the answer to this question because I love to eat and I love exploring new tastes. And because I love exploring new tastes, I kinda tend to get easily bored when I eat the same thing over and over for, say, three meals in a row.

But even that fact given, there is that one food item that are so good that, in my opinion, I could eat them every day for the rest of my days.

And that food item is...

Adobo Connection -- Adobo Indeed Connects Us All!

Hiya, guys!

Two weeks ago I went to a job interview which had a very early call time -- 7:30AM call time, yo! And I finished everything -- exams, interview and whatnot -- at, wait for it, 11:30AM! I'm telling you guys, that was the longest exam-cum-interview that I've been in my entire working life. So much that I felt famished after that even though I had a heavy breakfast before stepping out of the house.

So right after that session somewhere in Greenhills, I headed straight to SM Sta. Mesa for lunch. But the hungry adventurous palate in me wanted more than the usual fastfood fare without breaking the bank.

Then I heard the sound of a loud, booming sound system. When I came closer, it was Adobo Connection having its relaunch at that mall. I decided to try that out not only because of the relaunch but because a friend once recommended this resto as an alternative to typical fast food options.

Forgot to take a photo of the restaurant facade, so I took the logo at the table number instead. 
The restaurant here in SM Sta. Mesa is a little on the small side, but it definitely have this casual Pinoy vibe. It kinda feels like someone's living room converted into a small restaurant because the owner cooks awesome food. Which I really like.

Sweet California Berry

Yesterday was the last day of my officemate Minnie in our group, because tomorrow she will be working for another group in our department. So to send her off, we had a 'fro-yo' session in California Berry in Tomas Morato (herein after known as CB.)

Actually, we've been planning to go there since February. Upon seeing a discount deal for CB in Metrodeal, we immediately bought four vouchers for the deal. However, we have been putting off the plan because we have been assigned to different shifts for the past four months. We finally decided to use these vouchers now, before it loses its validity on... now. *wink wink!*

It was a rain-soaked afternoon when we got there, so much that we have to get a taxi to get there. AS you could see here, it was raining hard outside the CB.



Thank goodness for the quirky and cheery vibe of CB, with its white and mint-green interiors, with a little pop of pink at the counter.

The chair colors looks cute!

Mosaic tiled counter + white countertop = KEWL!

Love the origami lamps!

I sure have a Californiaberry day! :)

Now I know how much they really cost.

Even the utensils and materials lean on the cute and bright side!

How cute these cups are!

Spoons in rainbow colors. If only the spoons at home come in colors like these. Hahahaha!


Now we go to the fro-yos. We each had a large cup of frozen yogurts, topped with different flavors. Unfortunately, because Minnie is still observing Ramadan, she had to give her voucher to our other officemate, Mark. Notwithstanding that fact, she still watched us 'eat with our heart's content.' He he he. Anyways, here are our topping choices:

Choco cereals and mint choco cookies for me.

Cherries, banana chips and marshmallows for Ethel.

Cherries, marshmallows and mint cookies for Krisha.

I personally find the yogurt itself just right for my taste. It's sweet once it touches your tongue, but halfway through you taste the tangy taste inherent to yogurt. I actually winced when I tasted the yogurty tang when I got a big spoonful. (note to self: eat one small scoop at a time) But then, this is better than the other fro-yo that I tried (it's Yoh-Gurt Froz)

But of course, no food trip will be complete without the customary picture-taking!

Oh, Minnie. We'll miss you and your (sometimes) covered head. But we still hope to see you around some time. And have another cup of fro-yo. :D
