Serenitea Chicken Chop

There's a huge gap in the archives of my blog. I failed to for about 3 months. However, that does not mean I failed to document about things. I like to go to places and I like to sample dishes from that place, especially those unique at that particular place. I'd like to share some pictures of those things that I liked.

I got rid of my Nokia E72, the phone that took these pictures. I switched to BB and now, I kinda miss the powerful camera on the E72. Now I have to rely on my hubby's Nikon DSLR for our food pictures.

Serenitea Bubble Tea

Serenitea isn't something new. Serenitea is one of the first bubble tea players in the country. You can choose from their wide selection of teas and they will brew it just after you order. Yes, there must be some sense of zen waiting for your (bubble) tea to be done. That's why you have to wait at least 10 minutes to get your order. You may also adjust the sweetness of your tea: 0, 25, 50, 75 or 100 percent. Pictured above is their snack, chicken chop which ia a steal for around 50 pesos or so. It is a deep fried skinless piece of meat with breading. Simple enough, right? But so delicious. It is peppery and the fried basil that comes, I assume, as a garnish also does well with the chop.

I would recommend this as an alternative to coffee. However, the shop itself isn't at all like the coffee shops that you can lounge around. I know of 2 branches, one at Banawe and one near N. Guevarran in San Juan (right across Ristras)

Fiona's Frozen Brazo from Parvati

Parvati Home-Made Dessert Shop is a one-stop shop selling products of home bakers and I am a big fan of Brazo de Mercedes and the frozen rendering of my favorite dessert sends me into girlish giggles. My brother and I looove it! Parvati Home-Made Dessert Shop is located at the Mindanao Lobby of Trinoma Mall, Quezon City.
