Days Off

You know when you deserve a break after days of work and stress. What better way to spend these fortunate days than spending it with the people you love. Going back to Davao is a way of unwinding and enjoying my vacant days. Since I rarely visit the city, my friends find time to squeeze me into their schedules even if it’s a little bit hectic and I appreciate them for that.
As a line from a song would say, “We don’t even have to try it’s always a good time.” There’s  never a dull moment when I’m with them.  Our team used to be all single. I think I was the first one to break the so called “curse.” Haha. But everything’s all looking good for us – career wise and happiness wise, because being single is never a hindrance to happiness! And umaarangkada  na ata ang lovelife naming lahat. Haha! *knocks on wood* Buyag!

It was time for them to meet CORNBALLS (our code name for him before which turned out to be his name for our team now). We spent the evening at the place where all the talking unveils – Starbucks Abreeza. Yes, it has to be specific because this is our favorite place. We honestly think they do what they do best. Comparing to other branches we've tried, the yummiest food & drinks are here. Although you think they’re all probably the same… Think again! It’s really different.
So much for that... we spent the whole night talking about random stuff mostly work, latest buzz, and anything under the sun. Catching up big time because there’s so much happening for all of us. We talked it over coffee and ended the night young. Cornballs and I had to go out with our friends from high school after the that so we had to dismiss earlier.

In another day of visiting the city just to get some documents from my alma mater, I spent most of my time catching up with them again. We had dinner at Café Mediterranean. We wanted to have coffee but everyone was drained from duty and we all need some rest. We left unusually early, looking forward for our next get together.
They day after, I had a lunch date with the absentee from the previous meet up – Pokieyaaa. After getting all the necessary documents from our school, we thought of where to go next because we wanted to put his car into use. We decided to go to Tea’Amo just to chill. Found myself hungry so I ordered their chicken parmigiana. Pokie only went for desserts because he was planning to eat a full lunch at their home.
Thumbs up for everything! :D Just can't get enough of this place. I hope we can have our christmas party here! After the lunch date we both headed our own ways to attend to different things... but that would be another story to tell... And that concluded my day current day(s) off. Shout out to Cindy! I miss you! Didn't get to see you.

All I can say is... When you're given a day off enjoy it. Spend it wisely! Go out and have fun! :D

Tea'Amo Bistro

Have you ever been to Tea'Amo before? Well, you should probably visit them sometime soon again because they just underwent some minor renovations and a little rebranding. It just started last year around March and looks like they're already making it big. They never really thought of having students as their target consumers but it ended up that way. It was a place for college students reviewing or just hanging out. As they made some changes they are hoping to cater different groups of people.
And that explains our simple gathering with the owner themselves and a few other bloggers. We were fortunate to have the leisure of time to ask them questions. 
 The place now looks more of neutrals rather than the colorful/girly/cutesy image before. So men... no need to worry about that anymore. I love the place either way of course. But it felt more "homey" before. Of course they were known for the sticky note walls. The space is now limited  for that but the sticky notes remain! You can still post them on a corner provided for it. The place also expanded which gives us a larger space for more people.
The choice of music is also good because it's relaxing and not too loud.

After getting a glimpse of the place we were lucky enough to get a taste of their main courses which they take pride of. I guess we should give them bragging rights for this because I loved everything!


Mamita's Chicken Parmigiana
Breaded chicken breast topped with tomato sauce, Parmesan and mozzarella cheese
Since it's already boneless it's so much easier to eat and the sauce is also very tasty. I'm not a fan of java rice but I really like how light the taste of their java rice is. Just the way I like it.

Caldereta Bordeaux
Slow-cooked beef bathed in our special sauce
This meal has a hint of red wine and I love how the meat is so soft and easy to chew. The flavors aren't just on the outsides but you can taste it with every bite.

Adobo Festival
A classic homegrown recipe of their family used to serve during festivals
When everyone saw this they were all complementing the presentation. So "pinoy" and we love how they pair up meals if it's better with plain rice or java rice but you can request whichever you prefer.

Spicy Pork Cracklings
Pork slices fried with that guilty crunch, served with a special tangy sauce on the side
Just the right amount of spice! And it's crispy like chicharon but of course tastier. "Pwede pang pulutan!" one of us jokingly said. They plan to server alcoholic beverages but it's not yet final and hopefully they will extend their store hours soon.

Curry Tilapia with Mango Cilantro Salsa
Freshly cooked curried Snapper/Tilapia infused in a unique marriage of Middle Eastern and Asian flavors
This one's amazingly flavorful. I could love how the flavors work inside my mouth. It's my first time to try tilapia paired with mangoes and it's utterly pleasing to the senses.

Creamy Chicken
Tender-cooked chicken with a veil of cream, topped with kangkong leaves

It stands up to its name. It is creamy and the kangkong leaves are very translucent and yummy!

Home Sweet Ribs
Soft ribs with that familiar home-cooked taste
I think this would be one of my personal favorites since it has that sweetness that I'm looking for plus the easy chewing and the wonderful java rice. I love how generous they are with their servings. You get what you pay for. Your money doesn't go to waste.

Coconut and Pesto Pork Braise
Slow braised pork blanketed in a cream mixture of coconut and pesto

Oatmeal bars and crinkles with an Oreo surprise
Their pastries are all home-baked. I like the way they put a twist on the crinkles. It has an Oreo inside!

and of course we got a free drink before we headed home.  I got the green apple kiwi iced tea! It's more on the green apple side :)

Everything looks promising eh? I can't wait to go back and visit it with friends and loved ones. Check them out as soon as you have the time!

Tea 'Amo

Just because we have come to love the certain places due to the review season... and we've been spending some of the last days of it here at Tea 'Amo. We could have been regulars if only they were open 24 hours and also if we weren't collecting stickers for the Starbucks planner. Haha! The place is just like a comfort zone. Sometimes I think I own the place. Hahahaha! Can you spot me somewhere at the counter?

I always get tempted whenever I see this.
We found love in this place. It feels so homey. The chairs are comfortable and the place just fits me well. I have a thing for non sense stuff, as my friends would call it, but I would rather refer to it as cute stuff. Their walls are filled with post its from their customers! I had my own fair share of post-its there I just can't remember exactly where it is now. The walls are definitely more crowded than out last visit.

I think the snowman is cute. If you can see the sketch of Anne Hathaway somewhere then... you're eyes are good.

What we had...
