BGC Food crawl stop 4: Wangfu take-Out

A quick takeout before closing the food crawl Hakaw – all shrimp filling up to the brim! I like it when there are no extenders in dumplings. Japanese Siomai – meatier than your average Japanese siomai from train station/mall stalls And that concludes the BGC self-organized food crawl! We used accumulated gift certificates to cover most of the bill for all the shops we went … Continue reading BGC Food crawl stop 4: Wangfu take-Out

BGC Food crawl stop 3: Brown Café

“What are the most picture pretty variants?” – me to the clerk Anchan Strawberry Latte with Rainbow bubble Photogenic indeed! A pink base from the strawberry milk and jam, blending to a blue hue from the butterfly pea tea = picture perfect drink. I liked that the strawberry flavor wasn’t that sweet compared to strawberry milk sold in tetra packs in the grocery. I’m not … Continue reading BGC Food crawl stop 3: Brown Café

BGC Food crawl stop 2: Shari Shari

Mango Lassi – mango syrup, fresh yogurt, mango topping What I thought would taste like artificial flavorings and candy-like mangoes turned out as a favorite! The mango toppings tasted, uhm, natural(?) and not like the ones preserved in syrup. I didn’t choose a fruit flavored ice since I thought it would taste like candy, but this didn’t. This one was sweet and sour and tangy, … Continue reading BGC Food crawl stop 2: Shari Shari

BGC Food crawl stop 1: Providore

Bacon Clam Chowder in Bread Bowl We are always on the lookout for the best clam chowder. If we see it on the menu, we order it! This one is served in a bread bowl which contained the soup. Some bread bowls are too chewy/tough to bite but this one still had a soft quality to it. There are lots of vegetable chunks and clam … Continue reading BGC Food crawl stop 1: Providore

You can cross order from Café Adriatico, also by LJC, which is just located next door and is connected by a doorway. Both … Continue reading Food: Abe – Family Meal

The store name is also there but in a smaller font. Bun Appetit at Stall #11 sells mainly seafood filled buns/toasts and a few others.

Food: Hui Lau Shan – Mangoes and More

The Food: The drink, rather. Mango and Coconut juice with Aloe Jelly You could taste a hint of creaminess from the coconut and the aloe flavor form the green jelly slush at the bottom of the cup. Previously tried the one with crystal jelly. It was a less sweet option and the jelly was more firm. Brown Sugar Milk Tea with Mini Chewy balls and … Continue reading Food: Hui Lau Shan – Mangoes and More

Food: Hogs and Cattle – grilled chops take out

Ordered take out and the GC was accepted as payment (hooray). Waiting time for takeout was reasonable. The interiors had the usual browns and reddish brown shades of a steakhouse/meat house type of restaurant. The Food: Both orders have a nice grilled flavor, and the amount of meat is sufficient too. Neither was overly seasoned. Country Chicken Quarter Grilled Pork Chops Actual dine in date: … Continue reading Food: Hogs and Cattle – grilled chops take out
