Maki House by MaƱosa

    There are many Maki House and some of them even specify from what other resto they are connected. This Maki house is situated along Benavidez St. almost near the corner of Salazar St. in Binondo, Manila.

 The picture above is the first thing you will see upon entering the store a big culdron of pork, beef and fish maki super delicious. It can also be view from the outside also


The  picture above is the menu you can see upon entering  the entrance door which was posted in a wall

This is my take out of the fish Maki doesn't have any fishy smell and really delicious. But you can also make your own as the fish maki mixture also available  at Arrangue market

 
 The interior of the Maki House a bit small so if a big crowd wend in other people have to wait in line as there is less than 10 table inside. Below is a continuation of the menu above.
 



Hongkong Dimsum and Noodle House (Quezon Blvd Branch)

 
   The interior of Hongkong Dimsum and Noodle house upon entering you will think that it's very narrow but at the end of it there is still table inside it's almost shape like an L inside so that is still spaces.


The picturesque view of Hongkong posted near the counter


 The menu with price list so that it will be easier for customer to see the food they plan to order, This is also where they display the roast product and the noodle being cook.


The menu of Hongkong Dimsum and Noodle house ain't the price cheap enough to eat.


 My 2 take out order The Sparerib tausi rice topping price P69.00 per order and the Ham Siu Koh (which was not listed in the Menu and my husband complain that he didn't know they have it). The reason I know about it is because it was listed in their first branch at Citystate Hotel at Carlos Palanca

FTW Promo (Ordinary thing to extraordinary


     What ordinary thing that I make extraordinary?  Once try to join a contest from a website (which during those time I do not know how to join and ask my daughter to do it for me since hardly do to restaurant) and won. Able to win the prize and share some of my winning with my sister and kids.

     Gradually been convincing them, one of them did not believe me and ask to try nothing to loose at the end she won but a bit going overboard. So that if I won some prize and can hardly pick it up I just ask her to do so and at the same gave it to her (as this has been the arrangement). My other sister is not as greedy as her and just join this year. Not only paste it on facebook I have to call them that there is this promo and that and if they win I also have to call them. Since I still have a job to do try as much to get them updated during the night or lunch time.

     Still  try to convince my sister in law which hardly want to tag or join. A promo in facebook wherein just by opening there FB will guarantee a GC which I convince to do since I send her one. Since this promo at FB has an even bigger prize at stake at the  she won P30K of GC.

     I may not win the bigger prize or use some of the prize at least I know other people enjoy it. Even won some concert ticket that I pass it to my daughter's in law. Which my son been complaining why join if I am not planning to use them and been giving it away.

Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf (Robinson Place Manila)

lol
Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf Open house for November 2011 Red Velvet Hot Cocoa and Red Velvet Ice Blend
 
mad The cakes and pastry display in their shop
smile The coffee machine they are promoting with the different flavor capsule.
lol Nice display of their counter
lol A new paging system used by Coffee bean. This what it's look like when you are still waiting for your call. Without this they have to shout the name of the person from the counter
mad It will gradually light up and buzz when it's your turn to pick up your order. Isn't it cute! Don't know if every branch of Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf offer this type of paging system

 
My order of the Red Velvet Ice Blend nothing unusual just like drinking your ordinary Zagu without the pearl.
 Maybe should have try the Hot cocoa. The different bake product display

  

Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf (Smart Araneta Center Branch)

 
 The counter where they made their coffee mixes.

lol The view from inside out of Coffee bean and Tea Leaf in Gateway Araneta. 
You have a choice if you prefer to sit outside for fresh air or inside with the air
conditioning away from pollution
 
mad My Double Hot chocolate at least you have an option to add how many sachet 
of sugar in your chocolate.
 
mad The beautiful cake of Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf, if only I am not watching my food
