Far from what I expected, which is the supposed coffee shop hopping at Bonifacio Global City, I had opted for the random food deliveries also known as random acts of sweetness from my Dada loves for this month's Eats post 💖 March 28 is the fourteenth day of my self-quarantine. Since I believe that I would still not go out after that day for safety purposes, these are the only food I could show right now -- the ones I had before the implied lockdown. But, it is okay! I super love the memories behind these take-homes anyway :) Yes, that is completely right! I could feature my loving grandmother's three-day feast because the family had different celebrations from Thursday to Friday to Saturday. However, I want to keep the moments private. It is my choice what I want to write. It is up to me what I wish to post. Besides, the first night just had homecooked meals. I love all Lola's cooking! Like, so much! She is the best chef ever in the world for me! But the simple handa was just really spaghetti and macaroni. Then my sister bought a cake and a few meat viands. Thanks to Makati's cake for some additional desserts. And yup, that was just it. Then on Friday, Tita Grace sent Max's Restaurant treat as usual for our dinner. Max's is a classic for the fam as we dine here especially on special occasions. I kinda mentioned how precious this restau has been in our lives in my earlier posts, so it should be thank you, next Food blog feature, please. While on Saturday, yay for The Frazzled Cook moments! Even when I placed advanced reservations and was more prepared now, even when there were more delicious dishes for this visit, and even when we had the enclosed function room all by ourselves, I already blogged about The Frazzled Cook, eh. Really enjoyed because I spent new memories with the people I love here. The Frazzled Cook is turning to be my latest favorite eating place. And even my happy place, to be honest! So that, that is correct, it all then boils down to the random feeding program from my Love which I am truly grateful about because Nanay's catered food were already presented before. I thought of just sharing the sweet deliveries sent by Dada to me this March instead of not posting anything. Better to have an entry than none -- I have some story to tell anyway so let us g this! :) For the first random delivery, Subway! Actually, Subway is not new to me anymore. I love this sandwich place even before I saw it in Korean dramas. It was my usual lunch when I was still working in Ortigas. My usual in Subway is the six-inched barbecue sauced BLT on wheat bread. And since I have started my diet already, Dada thought of sending something good but at the same time nutritious, so here! Unlike my regular order, I had roasted chicken with fresh lettuce and juicy tomatoes on wheat bread since I prefer healthier options now. Since BBQ was not available, I chose Honey Mustard dip instead. I still savored the sandwich though! Especially with my iced instant caramel coffee on the side. And it was a treat from Dada. Hihi. As for the second one, it was a surprise. If the previous one was sent by Dada through an app, this time, he delivered it by himself! Before going home, he passed by our house and handed these amazing takoyaki balls from O' Takoyaki. Aww, right! Aside from the authentic and generous seafood per takoyaki ball, it was Dada's gesture that made me happy. I love Japanese food and I hope to go to Japan with him once this is all over. For now, I allow us to try new Jap brands around the city in the meantime. Haha! After this sweet unexpected delivery, we had another. But for this said period, we were together already. He spent one Friday with me and we ordered our forever favorite, Seattle's Best Coffee. Yay me! The reason why I am adding this here despite mentioning this brand lots of times already is because it was my first time to try my all-time fave Classic Javanilla with coffee jelly sinkers! I thought the plain was the best already, but this one is even best-er! Been an SBC member for almost a decade already, but I just knew this amazing secret this month! I would not forget this. Such an aha moment for me. Lol. Coffee rush plus learning anew and mi Dada luv by my side all day really made me so, so glad! Greatest are the random and little acts of love, indeed! 💖 Since I am talking about food deliveries already, I just want to tell you that eating at home would be better than dining outside. Of course, I pray for the healthiest state for everyone, so homecooked meals are encouraged the most. But in cases that you cannot cook because you are too busy and all, just go for delivery instead. Cases are rising again, so staying at home would be best. Let us work together and make this world a better place by starting at ourselves. Stay healthy! Stay sane, y'all!
