Aside from the McDonald's Eat All You Can promo, another widely talked about food product we have recently is the Magnum Ice Cream by Selecta. I have not tried it but have heard so much about it. Somebody even said it's the social climber's ice cream because people from all walks of life are raving about it. They say even the not so 'rich' ones are trying to have a bite of it so as to say they have also tried what popular celebrities have tried or are endorsing in facebook and twitter.
I'll give a feedback about Magnum Ice Cream as soon as I have tasted. Perhaps tonight? Hmmmmm......we'll see.

McDonald's Eat All You Can P 149 on March 26, 2012 - continuation of the Buffet Saga
I tried to look for articles on the net to verify the McDonald's Eat All You Can promo on March 26, 2012 (7 - 9 pm). Unfortunately, Google didn't provide much help. There were only two blogs about it. One mine and the other one www.certifiedfoodies.com. The nice thing is that certified foodies found pictures of the tickets that are apparently being sold if you want to avail of the promo. The ticket is sold at P 199.00. I know, its P 50 higher than the supposed published rate. That's because a manager is supposed to verify first if you have no leftovers. If they find out you have none, the P50 will be returned.
McDonald's Eat All You Can P 149 on March 26, 2012
What's the truth behind the McDonald's Eat All You Can thingy in Baguio City? I saw at least two posts on my facebook wall about it yesterday. The post says that the McDonald's Eat All You Can promo will be on March 26, 2012 (Monday) from 7 pm to 9 pm. I mean everybody is all agog about it because the promo says the Eat All You Can costs only Php 149.00. There's actually a picture of a McDonald's Baguio Branch where there's an tarpaulin announcement.
Can anybody tell me please if this is true or not?

Saisaki/Dad's Eat All You Can (Japanese Buffet +++)
I was at Dad's last week. We originally planned to eat at the Saisaki part only but we were told by the lady who seated us that the price difference is only P40 (or was it P80) so we decided to just have a crossover.
As usual, the food they served at the Saisaki area was very good. Super yumyum. I had various kinds of sushi and sashimi. But the best for me of course was the uni. I so love uni. Then I also had sukiyaki. It's nice 'coz prepare in front of you.
I also went to the Kamayan portion. I had a few pieces of lechon. Sorry, I know it's not part of my healthy diet but I couldn't resist. Then I got a small slice of angus beef.
Eat all you or buffet a Dad's is always good. For a little over P600 you can eat a little of everything you are craving for.

How to Make Chocolate Candies - Valentine's Day Fever
Okay! It's February and as they say love is in the air! Well, I'm not so into this Valentine's Day stuff but since its something I cannot runaway from then I'll just join the bandwagon. No, I'm not gonna go out on a date on Feb. 14. I mean I'll just give you a recipe for making chocolate candies.
Ingredients:
chocolate block (dark or milk chocolate)
fillings (nuts, raisins, marshmallows, dried fruits, shredded coconut, oats, corn flakes)
Materials:
double boiler
spatula
mold
flutter paper cups
boxes
Procedure:
1. Cut the chocolate block into small pieces (to melt easily).
2. Put the chocolate pieces in a double boiler.
3. Place the boiler over steady heat. When the water simmers the chocolate will start to melt. This is the signal for you to start stirring (use wooden spatula). Stir constantly until chocolate becomes smooth and thick.
4. When the chocolate has completely melted, scoop some chocolate and pour onto the mold. Fill only about half of the mold.
5. Add your desired filling.
6. Pour chocolate again onto the mold.
7. Let the chocolate cool for a bit then put in the refrigerator (small ones could be kept in the refrigerator for about 5 to 10 minutes while larger ones would need 10 to 15 minutes).
8. When the chocolate is already firm, turn the mold upside down and tap to remove the chocolate candies.
9. Put in flutter paper cups or just simply arrange in a box.
You can buy chocolate candy molds at low prices. Some of the shapes are star, heart, moon, flower, etc. But do not be limited by the molds that you can buy in stores. Look around your kitchen and you will surely find something that can be used to give shape to your chocolate candies.
One thing I would like to try as a variation to the regular fillings is using fresh fruits. It may decrease its shelf life but fresh fruits are still nicer than dried ones. Instead of drying you may just need to drain the fresh fruit slices well so that whatever liquid they contain will not mix with the chocolate. I'll try it soon.
NOTE: Practice first with this simple recipe before venturing into making flavored chocolate candies. Also, practice with regular molds before trying to make chocolates with elaborate designs. Practice then practice some more. Who knows, maybe next Valentine's Day you can already make export quality chocolate candies.

Mr. Poon - A Second Serving
Here are additional pics from Mr. Poon (Guerrero St., Manila). You can visit the previous post about Mr. Poon to read more about the restaurant.
Their Lomi has thick sauce and lots of toppings. The Chicken feet is tender. The sauce is not too sweet nor is it too salty. It tasted good but I still added chili. The Mr. Poon mix rice (?) is a complete meal in itself. Get the one with steamed rice - yes there is fried rice but it is different even though they go by almost the same name (just ask the waiter for the diff, okay?). The Halo-halo has a lot of beans which I do not like so you can expect that I didn't like it much. But my friends did. I just wonder if you can ask them not to include the beans.
