Lugawan Republic and Sir Boy's BBQ

Hello foodies!

It's been a long time since my last entry. I've been quite busy with the new work and projects so I have not been able to update my blog. Anyway, last January, I had a sudden midnight craving for "lugaw" or rice porridge. My friend, Nina, raved about a restaurant in Timog which specializes in this kind of food; so I dragged my brother, Jantzen, for a spur-of-the-moment midnight foodtrip!

Lugawan Republic


The ambiance of the place is very simple and very "masa". It's quite clean and the menus are straight forward. They're usually open until around 4:00AM.


My staple drink, Coke Light.


Jantzen ordered Fresh Lumpia, which is just like Singapore's Popiah. Fresh vegetables mixed with peanut sauce and wrapped in Spring Rolls Shells. I'm not really a big fan of this but I guess, it was okay.

Pilugaw. This was a definite winner! It's like a mixture of "Palabok" and "Lugaw". Great with calamansi and a dash of pepper!


Hakaw. Jantzen ordered this as well. It didn't taste that good; but this restaurant does not really specialize in dimsum so it's expected.

After Lugawan Republic, we still had a craving for some BBQ, so we crossed the street to Boy Abunda's new restaurant. It's located on the 2nd floor. The stalls on the ground level serves grilled seafood.


Sir Boy's BBQ Menu. The food is quite cheap! They have packed meals for people under budget.


Cracklings, FREE. This will probably be good with a nice cold bottle of beer, if I DID drink beer. Hehe.

Me. See the eyebags? It was around 1-2:00AM already.

BBQ with Banana Heart and Rice. The BBQ was okay, but my mommy's BBQ can still beat this BBQ's behind anytime. :)

Lugawan Republic: A great place to go to when you have those sudden cravings at night.
Sir Boy's BBQ: A good place to hang out and drink, although I am not so sure about the security of the place.

Hospital Cheat Sheets

Hello mommies! Sorry I have been busy trying to balance spending quality time with my baby, the pastry shop @joaniescupcakes and our newly launched online store, Petit Bébé PH.  Check out our IG and FB pages if you have time, @petitbebeph. 😍 Anyway, a lot as been asking about the hospital lists that I made for my delivery so here they are! As some of you might know, I am quite OC about paperwork and I have no pain tolerance so I really wanted to make sure that my doctors did not miss anything about my medical history. I was also confined 3x during my pregnancy. This is why I wanted to make sure that my list is detailed so we could avoid mistakes. Information Sheet This is the information sheet that I made. I consulted my OB prior to my delivery about the things that will be asked during check in/ labor. The text is RED are things you need to fill out on the way to the hospital as you might not have enough time to print them when you start contracting. Birth Plan My s

Eating at Home

Reg and I have been trying to lose weight to better control our sugar intake. We ate out a lot when I was still pregnant so he gained "pregnancy pounds" as well. Haha! I have been going to the supermarket to buy 3 weeks worth of dinners the past 2 months and I have been making weekly menu plans to help us achieve our goal. Honestly, I have always felt lazy to do this menu because the meats available at the grocery varies every week. I tend to buy what looks good so I can't stick to 1 set of menu come marketing time. First, let's start with the supermarket. We are closer to Unimart Greenhills but I feel that prices there are higher and there are times when their stock delivery is delayed. I always end up not being able to buy everything that I need. In order for this menu planning to succeed, I now go to my trusty Landmark Supermarket in Trinoma. I used to shop there when I was still single but I stopped going when I moved after getting married because I hated the

Hospital Packing List

I’m an OC person when it comes to packing. I love checklists! When I was at home on bedrest, I had plenty of time to get ready for the delivery. I didn’t want to go to the hospital with incomplete things so I started researching online and mommy blogs on what to pack when D-day comes. I made this list 3 months before my due date. I was paranoid because I had 3 hospital confinements during my pregnancy. I wanted to make sure that everything was ready.  When my OB told me that I was being induced on my 37th week, I made sure I ran through everything with my husband and our nanny. I have very low pain tolerance so I didn’t want them asking me where everything was when I was recovering! 😂 I divided the list into 3 categories: Mommy Daddy Baby I had to make sure my husband had an extra pillow and blanket so his back wouldn’t hurt from sleeping in the couch. I was expecting us to stay longer than normal as I was being induced. He needed to be in tiptop shape for our baby gi
