Nipa Hut Restaurant

On a random day while browsing the net I decided to check out Ensogo to look for a good Deal. The first deal that pop-up on my screen is from Nipa Hut. Click HERE to see the deal.

Have you seen the voucher? Enticing isn't it? I told all about this to Danwin, but the thing is the deal is exclusive only for BPI card holders (we're both have Metrobank) good thing his officemate has BPI credit card (yey! thank you so much!) sooo we boght this deal! Rice and drinks is not included though.

Nipa Hut is Located at Capt. H. Javier St. Oranbo, Pasig City


~After 2 Weeks~

Judgement Day
It was a cloudy afternoon, we felt the cold wind  greeting us as we went to the open space of the restaurant. The place, it reminds of Residence Inn in Tagaytay.

We chose to sit under the shade of the tent as it looks like it's going to rain. We gave the voucher to the waiter and waited patiently for our orders to arrive.

Food


Mango Shake

Crispy Pata
I'm not a fan of fatty foods so I don't usually eat crispy pata that's why I can't compare this with crispy pata.

Lumpiang Shanghai
I like it! Just like how my mother cooks it!

Kilawin ng Puso ng Saging
I don't also eat veggies but I did taste it though.. uhm, well I don't how I will describe the taste but it has a sweet hint to it.



Let's not forget...

Tequilla Sunrise

 
San Mig Light in Beer Below Zero
Cold. As in very cold.



What I have to say:
I never knew that eating crispy can be relaxing LOL! I really like the ambiance here, it's like you're in the province. Staff are friendly, courteous and accommodating. Our bill? Php 376 for the voucher and Php 400++ for the add-ons (2 rice, 1 mango shake, 1 coke in can, 3 San Mig Light BBZ and 1 Tequilla Sunrise). Total Bill: Php 800 ++. I'll definitely come back here!

Face Shop Power Perfection BB Cream SPF37/PA++


Item: Face Shop Power Perfection BB Cream SPF37/PA++ in Natural Beige (40g)
Price: Php1495

This is the BB cream I'm currently using and my first one. I bought this out of curiosity because an office mate of mine told me the wonders of BB Cream, so I decided to check it out and did some research on what is BB cream really all about.

Here's what I found from Wikipedia:
Originally formulated in Germany by dermatologist Dr. Christine Schrammek in the 1950s, the cream was initially used to protect skin after laser procedures and surgery, while also providing light coverage. Introduced to South Korea and Japan in the 1980s, BB cream has been named "the secret of Korean actresses" and has been heavily endorsed by Korean celebrities, which gained it large exposure in these Asian markets.

I went to Faceshop Megamall and this BB caught my attention. Well, mainly because of what this product promises:
- A ‘3-in-1’ BB cream (anti-wrinkle, whitening, sun protection) with perfect  coverage
- Total Skin Treatment BB cream(Special ingredients for rejuvenating skin): actively addresses all skin problems such as loss of firmness, dry skin, uneven skin texture and dull complexion
- Better makeup results (flawless coverage + good adherence + long lasting):

The SA told me that the best color for me is Natural Beige, I was skeptical at first because I think light beige would suit me best. But she's the pro and I'm not so I bought the natural beige which Im glad I did. (yep she's right :P)

On my hand
Swatch: The color matches my skin tone. Look closely at my scar :(

Blend! Blend! Blend!


As you can see, after a few minutes my skin absorbed the cream and my scar lightened.

A few drop is all you need because too much of this cream will make you look like a ghost.

Pros: 
- It lasts all day and gives me a healthy dewy look! 
- Has a mild scent 
- Easy to blend
- Has SPF!

Cons: 
- For me.. NONE!

Dinner at Blackbeard's Seafood Island - MOA


On the day of my birthday, Danwin (le bf) and I decided to eat at Seafood Island. We ordered Dapitan's Pride from their boodle line-up which is good for 3-4 persons and a soda for bf (the soda has a slice of lemon in it).

BEFORE

Dapitan's Pride
Shrimps, San Mig Clams, Grilled Tilapia, Grilled Squid, Laing, Steamed Crabs, Grilled Liempo, Kalkag Rice


** le me happy **


AFTER

* lots of rice left *

Since there are still lots of food (tilapia & San Mig Clams were untouched) left, I decided to take it home. When I got home I checked the food and I noticed that my San Mig clams (supposedly for my mother) are missing!! (0_0) 

Where the heck are my San Mig Clams???? 


Overall, the food is great and the place itself has a nice, cozy ambiance and our waiter is very accommodating. Our total spend? Php 865.98(service charge included). Not bad! considering the place, the taste and amount of food but it would be much cheaper if you can share this with your friends.

What I don't like? Nothing! well,, except for my missing clams!
