Take a Taste: with Samgyupsal dinner night at the Samgyup Mukbang restaurant [Recorded: May 12th, 2024]

Hello! It’s time for another “Take a Taste”! The series is about delicious food with my two paper dolls.

Yesterday was a blast to celebrate Mother's Day ! So today, we're at a different restaurant called the "Samgyup Mukbang" restaurant to see the trending yet traditional meal known as the "Samgyupsal", a traditional Korean cuisine. 🇰🇷🥢🥩😋 So, what is "Samgyupsal" and how to eat? 🤔 Let's find out, right now.

If you haven’t seen my previous episode, then please click → [CLICK ME!].

IMPORTANT NOTE: No #OnThisDay throwback post for this date.

So, without further ado, let’s get started:

1st to 3rd Image(s) 📷📲: ↑

• So, we're here at this wonderful establishment! Once we sit with my entire family, we meet this pig mascot of the "Samgyup Mukbang"! Say hello, you two! 👋😊🐷👨‍🍳

• The fitting name "Samgyup Mukbang" was established in 2021 during the pandemic lockdown. Like other independent Samgyupsal restaurants, it started as a small establishment before expanding to selected branches throughout Metro Manila. 🍴🏢🇵🇭 It's a cheap-based Samgyupsal restaurant, and we're curious to see the quality meals they offer. 🤔

4th to 7th Image(s) 📷📲: ↑

• For those who don't know about "Samgyupsal" 🇰🇷🥢🥩... Actually its "Samgyeopsal" (삼겹살) or "samgyeopsal-gui" (삼겹살구이) is a type of gui (grilled dish) in Korean cuisine. Which, literally translates to "grilled pork belly". 🇰🇷🥢🥩 Similar to the Japanese Shabu-Shabu (しゃぶしゃぶ), the traditional Korean cuisine involves a mini gas stove with various K-ingredients and K-side-dishes. And unlike Shabu-Shabu, the "Samgyeopsal" involves a frying or grilling of the meats to perfection. Once it's done, you could either eat it straight, add steamy rice/condiments (sometimes for the latter), or wrap it around using a fresh leaf of cabbage and shove it into your mouth for a good dose of healthy veggies. Yum-yum! 😋 And you can see right here is the example of preparing the "Samgyeopsal" cuisine! We've chosen the ₱299 variant of "Pork, Beef, and Side-Dishes", with an additional ₱55 for the spicy cheese sticks.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Yes, we've been to Samgyupsal before with my paper dolls, but I haven't chance to explain the culture of this wonderful Korean cuisine. 🙂

8th to 18th Image(s) 📷📲: ↑

• Here are the snapshots of what "Samgyeopsal" looks like. Although, you wondering why the pan was covered in parchment paper (as my paper dolls pointed out)? 🤔 That's because you don't need to add cooking oil, it'll prevent less spreading oil from frying meat. Plus, the Samgyeop meats are already covered in fatty oil. On the bright side, it is pretty damn delicious, don't you think you two? 😁😋

19th to 24th Image(s) 📷📲: ↑

• [19th to 22nd Images] Anyways, once the meat is done, it is time to DIG IN with a small portion of steamy rice, along with a few side dishes.🍚🥩🥔🍜 I'm using chopsticks over fork and spoon in respecting the Korean culture. 🥢😋 Thankfully, I know how to use chopsticks, properly. (So, help yourself by watching a chopsticks tutorial) C'mon, let's eat you two! 😁

• [23rd & 24th Images] A single steamy rice is enough for me to full, so now let's switch to a leafy cabbage for the right way to eat "Samgyeupsal". 🥩🥬🥢Although, mine was fully packed with ingredients aside from meat, make it unable to wrap around. But hey, it is my construction food after all. So go nuts! 😅😋 Uh yeah, did we mention that this restaurant has 2 hours of Unli-Samgyeopsal meat? Yup! Meaning, we could grab some meat and side dishes as much as we want! ⏰🥩🥢😁 However, don't exceed the 2 hour limit because you'll be charge owing to the restaurant's rules. ☝😮

25th to 28th Image(s) 📷📲: ↑

• And after a long hour of munching meat dishes, we're all full and empty plates! Man, what a dinner! 😋 There's a rule about this restaurant, though. And that was "no takeout meal", or else you'll pay ₱300 per plate if someone didn't finish a meal. ☝😮 Thankfully, we were on the medium-sized feast for less than an hour, and we cleared all the plates and stoves without a single food left behind. 😉

Overall:

• What do we think about this Samgyeopsal restaurant? 🤔 It is awesome! The atmosphere is nice albeit smoky because of the stove, the meals are good, and everything seems A-Okay! Plus, the price was dirt cheap yet satisfying for a whole family, like us! 😁👍 One notable "con" for me is the lack of quality drinking water. 👎🙁💧 Why? Because some of the cups were forgot to rinse properly, and I encountered one. When I drink a cup of water, it is soapy and oily, that they forgot to inspect. I was utterly grossed, that someday should be addressed to the manager. Another "con" for me was their 1.5L soft drinks we're slightly pricey, so we decided to drink water instead of sugary drinks. However, that doesn't stop us from eating "Samgyeopsal" for dinner! So, we're gonna do this again for special occasions (like "Mother's Day"), at least. Otherwise, we've rather switched to the home version way of "Samgyeopsal", so we won't worried about paying leftover meal. 🏠🥩🥢🥬😉

Well, that's all for now. 😊

Why leaving the city to settle in the province is one of the best decisions in my life

I already drafted a post earlier, pero nawala lol. So, here's my second attempt.

Before the pandemic, I was living in a condo along EDSA with my then-fiancee now-husband. We paid 18K monthly for a studio-type condo, with pool and gym amenities. It was a dream come true for me since my previous homes in the metro were in not-so-Instagrammable places.

So a bit of a history of my living situations in NCR:

I left Laguna since HS for college and stayed in a dormitory. There were about 2-4 girls per room and my parents who crawled my expense through graduation often paid my rent late.

Then, I graduated and vowed to not have my parents pay a single cent for me anymore. I lived independently paying ALL of my living expenses including rent, food. My first home that I paid for myself is another dormitory with about a 7 x 7 room shared by another girl.

Then, I lived in with my then-fiancee and toxic ex in a 2-BR apartment in the middle of a busy Manila baranggay. When he left me, along with needing to pay some unpaid rent, I moved into a smaller a 1-BR apartment. Both were in the middle of a noisy, crazy Manila neighborhood where people drink and gossip 24/7.

So, fast forward to the pandemic doom, I got initial info (being an EHS & BCP person) that there would be lockdowns. My then-fiancee now-husband and I then rushed packing and left our condo unit (even after spending hours panic-buying some supplies) to go home. We never really imagined the pandemic lasting years, so for the first 3 months, we lived with our parents... transitioning between his parents' place and mine while we work remotely. But then, since we are getting married, we decided to buy a house. If there's one thing the pandemic made us realize is that HEALTH IS IMPORTANT... and he and I both know that we cannot live in a boxed condo as a permanent home. Luckily, his work perks allowed us to choose a model unit (fully furnished but a bit outdated) so it's basically ready for occupancy. It took us barely 6 months to get the papers settled (while also preparing for our wedding) but we got it.

We now live in a 2-story house located in a city in Laguna, near an SLEX exit. I'll save the logistical, administrative costs and construction gulatan costs for another story, but we were able to save enough to have some improvements like a gate, home gym, pocket garden, and repainting. We'll be spending our third Christmas (WOW) here and yes, it's still the life I want because:

Province life allows for a slower, mellower life. I am not sure if I can put it into words but there's something about waking up, walking down the stairs, taking a peek at the window and seeing Lolas sweeping their front yard, smiling and waving at you. There are neighbors who even if we rarely go out, reaches out to us to ask how we are, share a laugh or two. There are kids going to and from school. Even the traffic is way way better, not only because its decongested but because people are not in a rush? Like, kapag naluwas kami para pumasyal or for work, even a 2-3 second delay from the go-signal would cause people behind us to hit their horns like they are dying. Gulat na gulat kami at how full of rage drivers are, while here, people tend to give way. Though may mga kupal minsan, pero like 1:50 ang ratio compared sa NCR na 40:50 ata.

Everything is accessible. Maybe it's the smart location that the village is located, but Nuvali is 15 minutes away so we get to do our weekend runs and grocery shopping there every weekend. When we want a different view, Alabang or Makati is barely an hour away. We also have access to foodpanda and Grab, so we can also order food. And, when we grow tired of that, we also have an online Facebook page for the village where we can order food and have it delivered too. Kanina lang nga, dahil naka-isolation kami, pati pandesal inorder namin sa online village store.

The view can easily put you in a better mood. I remember during the MECQs, we'll just jump in the car and do a quick drive-thru run to Mcdonald's or Starbucks. We'll sometimes bring the cats with us para masanay sila. We'll eat inside the car, just open the windows a bit and see lush greens around us. On days when work feels too much or when I get depressive or anxious episodes, we'll just drive around, and instantly, I feel better as we pass by trees, farm lands and sunset view. When we run too, there's always a mini trail to discover.

We are nearer to our families. Though we may not be able to visit them as often as we want, but connecting is easier. We can have lunch outs over the weekends, or they can easily visit us at home and spend some time together. Malawak yun bahay at bakuran, so they can sleep over. Kapag may emergency, iba pa din yun may mga kakilala kahit paano na pwedeng takbuhan. We have my husband's office mates near the village and my Dad's office is also 30 minutes away from where we live. So, minsan sa amin din sya nauwi. Our house also offers a breathe of fresh air sa Mom ko when she wants to relax and play with her apos aka cats LOL.

Expenses are cheaper. Gas, groceries, services are cheaper here. Though we are not safe from the ~golden era~, we do have options like talipapa or wet markets. Since nearer din kami sa mga sakahan or isdaan, mas mura din talaga yun mga fresh produce. Sa Nuvali and LB area, madalas din may community market. Also, the 18K rent we paid for the condo? Imagine we pay less than that and we are owning this house after a few years. To share, even the 7K rent I paid for the 1-BR apartment can pay for a house here in Laguna too. No, I don't think renting is a waste of money since tinitirhan nyo naman sya, but imagine how getting a house can be a future asset (yun lupa, hindi yun bahay, but that's also another topic). But basically, LAND does not decrease in value ever. Ever ever. Kaya din bahay kinuha namin over condo.

There is space - to move, to breathe and to grow. Literally and figuratively. Literally, I am lucky to have my own home gym, and garden and garage that like now that we are in isolation, we can move around. It's easier to partition our lives between work and home, kasi may home office din ako. May place to sleep, to eat, to work out and that's important for an ADHD person like me. There also is room to grow... ewan ko pero the more I see how people can live in the provinve, the more lumawak yun pananaw at pangarap ko. No, I don't want a bigger house, but I now know that having a slow and steady life is possible. Yun, hindi kailangan pagod at ngarag to earn money, because people here, maraming may passive income and all. Parang here, money flows in even when you don't do much. Hindi ko ma-explain pero siguro totoo yun kapag mas malawak yun paligid mo, mas feeling mo din hindi ka nakakahon? (Though, we really need to do some spring cleaning LOL kasi ang kalat na ng bahay.)

My mental health has greatly improved. Probably because of all the reasons mentioned above. But, you know, taking myself away from that hustle and bustle of the city, really allowed me to slow down and think about what I really want in life. Dito sa probinsya ko narealize na life doesn't need to be complicated. Dito ko din na-allow ang sarili ko stop when I tend to want want want a lot? Kasi, in the midst of every grit and grind work day, masaya ako to just slow down, have a coffee or a glass of wine and spend time with my husband and cats. And really, that's all I need. In a world that tells you that you need to work-out, prep food, be excellent at work, learn new things, have a hobby, stay connected with loved ones and all sorts of MUSTS, the province life allowed me to tone it down and just do what I can. The more we do so much minsan, the more we lose who we are... or that's how I feel. The province life allows me to be just me~ whoever I want to be.

I know not everyone has this privilege, and for this I am grateful - for the opportunities that came our way, for the blessings given to us and for the hard work we put in. 🧿 It's weird pero the pandemic really did turn our life around, kasi naipakita sa akin kung ano yun importante - Health, connections and peace of mind. Yan lang pala talaga kailangan ko.

So, anyways, ayun lang. If you have the chance, give it a think. Alam ko hindi lahat possible ito sa work nila, but this is also why I chose to make it a non-negotiable when I consider work offers. Either remote or hybrid. Because this is now home and I can't sacrifice this peace for career progression or additional pay.

I hope you read this not feeling like I am boasting. Sa totoo lang, hindi ko inakalang dadating ako sa ganitong level of contentment... o baka natuto lang talaga akong maging grateful sa araw-araw. Good or bad, there's always something positive (gaya ng antigen test namin, eme). Nagpapasalamat lang talaga ako sobra for being here... so I really try to pay it forward too. My husband, I noticed, does the same na din. Every chance we get, we share our blessings.

Universe, thank you. I trust that 2023 would only bring us closer to the simple farm life we want. 🧿. 🪬. 👁️‍🗨️.

Guevarra's goes beyond the buffet table, launches new website

My entire family loves dining at Guevarra's in San Juan City. It's always a family affair. When we want to celebrate a special occasion, or just want to get together in Metro Manila, this buffet restaurant is always on top of the list.

Then, the pandemic hit. Dining in, especially buffets, became obsolete during the lockdown. Businesses tried to cope by shifting to deliveries. Some barely managed to stay afloat, some unfortunately had to close, while some thrived in the delivery world.

Guevarra's kept on doing what they do best: Making good food for everyone. They offered their usual buffet favorites for delivery, like their Pork Bellychon, Angus Beef Tapa (our all-time fave!), Beef Kare-Kare, Pancit Palabok, and Beef Kaldereta, in various sizes. They even have their own delivery riders for convenience.

As the lockdown stretched to almost two years, the people behind Guevarra's kept moving with the times, adapting to the public's needs and wants. Aside from their buffet best-sellers, they created their own version of food trends, like Lechon Angus Baka (ridiculously tender and flavorful angus beef, best enjoyed with the sweet-savory sauce). If you're eating it at home, you can enjoy it the fool-proof way with some garlic rice or go a little rogue and turn it into the best burger you'll ever make at home.

As restrictions eased, dining in slowly returned to pre-pandemic normalcy. Guevarra's decided to give us more reasons to literally get up in the morning, even on weekends. They recently started offering Breakfast Buffet on Sundays featuring morning staples, from cereals to crispy bacon to Pinoy almusal classics like Champorado, Arroz Caldo. They also put their own twist on Western faves, like Chicken & Waffles, but instead of fried chicken, you get chicken adobo. I know, it sounds weird, but trust me on this: the sweet and slightly crisp waffle (with their whipped butter and maple syrup) goes so well with the garlicky savoriness of adobo.

While their Chicken & Waffles (or pancakes) is an absolute must-try, Guevarra's take on Vigan Longganisa is a revelation! Swimming in a pool of umami-filled tomato sauce (with a healthy layer of oil for good measure), these chubby parcels of meaty goodness are tender (those pockets of fat make sure of that), packed with flavor, and will definitely have you reaching for another cup of rice. And for someone who hates bell peppers, this dish is making a compelling argument for 'em. You can enjoy Guevarra's Vigan Longganisa at their Sunday Breakfast Buffet or when you order their Sariling Sikap Box.

They also had in mind those people who were still stuck at home alone or those who are going back to the office. In 2021, they officially launched their Solo Meals, featuring a single serving of their buffet best-sellers served in a convenient bento-like container with stir-fried veggies and steamed rice. They have seafood, pork, chicken, and beef options. These meals are also perfect for meetings (Zoom or physical), parties, and even baon for roadtrips (#RevengeTravel)!

They've also gone beyond the usual buffet offers, giving diners the option to elevate their dining experience at home. Another personal favorite from Guevarra's line-up is their Spaghetti Marinara with Meatballs. Definitely different from sweet Pinoy spaghetti, the sauce is a bit more sour and tempered by the saltiness of the parmesan cheese and the savory meatballs. Pro-Tip: If you're ordering at home, keep it in the fridge because it's even better the next day (if you can keep yourself from eating all of it).

There are so many reasons to love Guevarra's, but there's nothing like their sweet selections to keep you coming back for more. When dining in, their Frozen Brazo de Mercedes (served in shot glasses) should not be missed. If you're ordering for delivery, don't forget their cakes and desserts, like their indulgent Brigadeiros and milky-chewy Kalabasa Pastillas, which are perfect for gifting or as a sweet ending to a satisfying meal.

The people of Guevarra's also made ordering a lot easier! Now you can have their signature dishes delivered to your home with just a few clicks. They also have frozen goodies so you can stock up on your favorites! Visit www.guevarras.com to place your order. They deliver daily from 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.

Guevarra's is located at 387 P. Guevarra Street corner Argonne Street, San Juan City. For more updates about their latest offers, follow Guevarra's on Facebook or Instagram.

5 relaxing Spotify playlists to listen to during lockdown

Metro Manila is set to be placed under enhanced community quarantine for the third time to combat the spread of COVID-19 Delta. This has led to increased isolation and stress, prompting people to seek ways to cope with the pandemic. Aromatherapy is a great self-care practice, and pairing it with soft-feels playlists can provide a relaxing experience. Some playlists include LoFi Beats, Rainy Indie Afternoon, Relax and Unwind, Calming Acoustic, and Deep Focus. LoFi Beats features slow melodies and fluid rhythms, while Rainy Indie Afternoon is a tranquil vibe for downpours. Relax and Unwind is a Zen-inspired playlist, while Deep Focus is instrumental ambient tunes for working from home. These playlists can help alleviate the negative effects of self-isolation and make quarantine life more bearable.

Used car sales in Philippines to cross 4,50,000 units by 2026. Will Philippines continue the support for increased sale of used cars?

Citizens refraining from using public transport in Philippines

The pandemic year brought a drastic change in the preferences of people in terms of public transport. Although, the quality of public transport was already deteriorating forcing multiple people to opt for their personal cars, Covid-19 made owning a personal car unavoidable.Due to the social distancing protocols, people don’t prefer travelling from public transport anymore. Majority of the people using public transport before the pandemic were the ones who could not afford a car (or brand new at the least). However, it became inevitable after the pandemic struck the country and demand for used cars increased drastically once the nationwide lockdown was lifted in the third quarter of the year. The increase in sales was drastic enough to compensate for the sales lost during the ECQ months and in 2020 there was only a slight decline in the used car market as compared to 2019.

Other Challenges in Philippines Used Car Market Outlook To 2026

2. Mixed Effect of Covid-19 on the Used Vehicle Market in the Philippines

INCREASED DEMAND The demand for used cars increased drastically in the months of June and July as soon as the ECQ (Enhanced Community Quarantine) was suspended and the strict lockdown measures were eased

INCREASED INVENTORY OF REPOSSESSED CARS Approximately 2 million Filipinos lost their jobs due to the pandemic. Several others had to face pay cuts and temporary layoffs. Thus, the source of income for several individuals was adversely affected and a lot of them became bankrupt.

FINANCE CRUNCH Banks in the Philippines rejected multiple loan applications due to the risk factor brought in by the pandemic. The increasing delinquency rates was also an important factor. Sour debt at two banks BDO Unibank and Metropolitan Bank and Trust Co., jumped 120% in 2020.

ADVERSE IMPACT ON SMALL USED CAR DEALERS The pandemic rendered a lot of small used car dealers out of business. Since the used car business requires an ample amount of cash at spare for shelling out (for procuring pre-owned cars), some small (and unorganized) dealers were unable to withstand the losses incurred during the ECQ months.

Day 1 of Metro Manila Lockdown

Today is the Day 1 of Metro Manila lockdown. But for me it is a typical Sunday vibe. Less people, less cars, peaceful street, but even fewer.

I went to the nearest fast food to have my lunch and went to my favorite salon to have a footspa, manicure and pedicure.
