What's with the Cajun Fish 'n Rice of Pizza Hut Ala Carte Menu?

So, it was that time of the day when I feel so alone and just want to satisfy my craving to perhaps overcome this depression. I really don't know what brings me in that food chain. At first, I am thinking of ordering a carbonara which is one of my ever favorite pasta recipe. But then, upon exploring Pizza Hut's menu, I didn't realized that I've ordered Cajun Fish 'n Rice. Maybe, because of the food presentation on the menu that has caught my attention. Forgot to mention that I've checked-in at SM Masinag, Pizza Hut. :)

I have waited for 10-15 minutes before my order was given. Upon seeing the meal, I was quite not impressed on what I've seen. The picture was really deceiving. I thought that it was somewhat toasted but it was like half cooked fish inside. I don't know or have no idea though if what a Cajun fish 'n rice should look or taste as it was my first time tasting this kind of meal. I'm giving it a 3/5 star because it somewhat satisfied my hunger but not actually my craving :) I should have ordered Carbonara over that Fishrice. :(
The receipt and a certain code(which you will get after completing the survey) is needed once you want to claim the FREE banana split

After eating and paying the bill, the crew gave me the receipt and inform me that I can claim a FREE banana split on my second visit at any Pizza Hut branches once I completed their survey on their website, www.pizzahutfeedback.com.ph. Hopefully, I can visit the food chain so I can claim my Free dessert before my voucher expires!
I received this along with the Pizza Hut receipt

Round Trip to Manila, Philippines - First Time Visit with No Traffic!

Manila, Philippines was once a very busy place before, mainly because of the extreme traffic that you have to deal with in everyday transportation. However, just recently, I was shocked or should I say amazed to see the main road of the city without a trace of traffic in the roadways. How did it happen? Well, it is basically because of the new traffic scheme which Mayor Joseph 'ERAP' Estrada and his alliance that have implemented. This scheme has got more compliments and give a bit of problem with the commuters though. Even so, one thing is for sure, that this rule will obviously the start of improvement of the city!

Okay! Enough of the traffic issues now. The issue stated above was just one of the many things I had encountered during my trip to Manila. This trip wasn't supposedly planned, but because it was the last stay of my very close friend in the Philippines, we choose to accompany her in one of her favorite hangout place. She actually have a flight to United States, so the trip was just a short time.


The first stop was at the hotel where she is staying. We visited her at Eurotel, Pedro Gil. The hotel is located in front of Robinson's Place Manila. The hotel staffs were all friendly and very accommodating. And also the main reason why she choose this hotel was mainly because Manila International Airport is just an easy access to the hotel.


The next stop was at the Quiapo Church, where you can find the miraculous Black Nazarene. There were lots of people coming everyday from different cities hoping that their prayers will be heard by the miraculous saint.


After giving a visit to the Black Narazene, we head to find a restaurant to take our lunch. We took a pedicab going to Cafe Mezzanine located in the heart of Ongpin, Binondo.

Their foods were superb and actually did give us a full tummy. By the way, I ordered baby back ribs.

The rest of my companions ordered these (Please see the photos below) from the menu.

The restaurant is located at the heart of old Chinatown, so you'll expect a lot of Chinese customers eating in there. The crews were all accommodating as well. Though, if you want a convenient place to eat in there, I suggest you to choose and dine at the second floor because it is fully air-conditioned compared to the first floor of the establishment.





After taking our brunch, we headed to the last destination which is the Binondo Church to pay a visit. The old church looks very fascinating. I did take the chance to thank the big man to all the blessings he has given me. And of course ask guidance for my family and myself. By the way, here's some snapshots of the church.

We actually had a 5 hour trip to Manila. Not bad compared to my previous experience to Divisoria which is all hassle and full of stress! I certainly would love to visit the place again. I just hope that the traffic scheme implemented by the recent government will be maintained and strictly managed.





By the way, Manila isn't a 'gates of hell!' Just how Dan Brown described it on his book. The city is obviously improving and eventually will become a better place for businesses and transportation.

MyBro Plan 999 Review - The Strongest Connection Ever?!

It was about a year ago since I updated this blog. And since this is my first update this year, I would like to have this dedicated to my internet provider. I couldn't update this blog without it, you know!

MyBro Brochure


It's actually been a month since I subscribed to MyBro plan 999, one of the promos of PLDT. It provides an unlimited wireless broadband internet connection where you can connect your laptop/computer and even your mobile devices through the provided signal of the modem. It also says in their website that you can get a speed of up to 1mbps. I'm a bit disappointed to say that I haven't got at least 1mbps of their connection. Perhaps it is because of my location having lots of trees around the house.



I've tried pinging to see how fast the connection I'm getting. However, it shows a 0. something mbps of connection. You may see the image below for reference.



Ping test result by speedtest.net

I've once tried applying for a canopy plan, however, the smart agent told me that it was impossible because due to the poor connection based on their testing device. They've told me that it is due to the many trees surrounding the house.


The image below is another tool that they provided to test the speed of my internet. The agent said that having an above 10.00 CINR is a great indication that my signal is stable. Well, I think, that convince me to subscribed on it.



WiMAX Mobile Station

Currently, I have downloaded at least four movies through the wifi connection. I think that is a great way to start this subscription. During rainy days, the connection is a little poor though.


Well, I believe, I have to patronise the service since I signed a lock-in contract with them for 24 months. I will just longer my patience in times of poor connection, I guess.
