[FOOD TRIP ADVENTURES] SALILUNGAN : JANY'S STOP & EAT and their awesome MUSCLE BURGER!!!

Got an awesome experience with Jany's Stop & Eat with their awesomely tasty "Jino's Muscle Burger" on their menu. At first I was really hesitant to buy but when hunger kicks in and I am on "meryenda mode" I really order out and eat what looks tasty specially if there is meat on it!!!


JANY'S STOP & EAT for the first time I've encountered this food stall in SALILUNGAN just around San Fernando Pampanga. They cater different kinds of burger servings so it's kinda like the common burger stalls you usually see in the metro manila if you've been there.

With that kind of thingking I was really hesitant to buy from them (I was really trying to avoid the "unang kagat tinapay lahat"/"first bite will be all buns") but since am really on "I need to eat something mode" that day so I kinda give it try...



So among their Meat Burgers I decided to go with their no.5 Jino's Muscle Burger worth P160.00
I was really shocked when they started to cook the burger patty for the order (too bad my camera phone went out of juice)

To tell you about the cooking process the unexpected part was they actually pulled up two big chunky patty for a serious grilling. Each order from the meat burgers comes with a French Fries serving. So after a few minutes of waiting the take out order, got home and finally took a picture just so I can finally eat with all my hunger.


Under two sesame seed buns, two grilled meaty burger patties with BLT (Bacon, Lettuce, Tomato) and a buttery cheese served with fries. Due to its overwhelming unexpected awesome taste I'd say I've taken some few bites and here's the result...


I was really saying to myself that I just have to take a few little bites to take more photos but, oh well I actually almost devoured the whole thing and fries were already gone :P

I'd say for the rates for this awesome burger is 9/10
*the meat patties 10/10 perfectly grilled and chunky meaty juicy awesome
*the buttery cheese 10/10 you can taste something like an extra ordinary cheesy margarine flavor that stay with your taste buds that is a driver for more bites with the meaty burger
* BLT is also 10/10 spread evenly and does not give a weird taste like in any other burgers where BLT is not well balanced and most are overpowering the taste of the patties.
*Bun 8/10 not too good but not too bad either
*the Fries? I'd give it like a 7/10 maybe because they didn't drain the oil on it due to fast service and stuff. but I'd say its good enough.

[FOOD TRIP ADVENTURES] SALILUNGAN Food Court at San Fernando Pampanga

After a long time of not blogging my food tripping adventures, here's one I can give you.
Just after a long day at work, I got home and mom decided to buy snacks (Meryenda) over at the newly established SALILUNGAN just around SAN FERNANDO Pampanga.


It's like a stop over canteen for travelers along the highway, for the time being these are the stalls that caters foods inside (I don't have my D3300, so I have to shoot with my phone camera).


Taking a look at the inside...


There is Teresita R. Razon's  Halo-halo & Palabok that serves one of the best Halo-Halo and palabok in Pampanga and expanded its branch through out the metro manila

 


Crispy Factory first time seeing the stall mom bought some dinner ("ULAM") here.
Variety of choices and stuff, and I really have no idea what some of the dishes that mom bought for dinner is called. Since I forgot to take pictures of it all I can say is the taste is quite satisfying.


Lugaw Republic well obviously it's "LUGAW"  and right beside is Buko House and Kabigting's Halo- Halo that also serves awesome Halo-Halo with its Yema (sweet soft chewy candy like thingy) fillings.

[FOOD TRIP ADVENTURES] Dinner at 1CHIBAN EXPRESS REVIEW

 We decided to have to dinner over at 1CHIBAN EXPRESS today, we drive through Mc Arthur Highway from Lazatin Road. The restaurant is beside Matutina's on KINGSPIRE business center along the right side of the road if your going to Angeles City from San Fernando driving along Mc Arthur highway.



Just to be sure here's a google map image for you if you feel lost along the highway! :)



Here is the look outside of the ICHIBAN EXPRESS ( or 1CHIBAN really don't know what's the original but if am not mistaken ICHI means 1 in Nihongo [ nihongo = japanese language ] so I think its kinda ok)  in case you got lost and wondering what it looks like (this is actually my first time eating here too so its cool!). Just below the image is the inside view from table we sit in.


Now time to order! From their menu there's actually a lot of cheap prices for a meal you don't usually see with that kind of price from other food chains. So here have a look yourself of their menu, because I really did take the liberty of taking pictures.



From the cashier looking at the menu displayed you can already see two sets of cuisine, there is Japanese and the other one is Chinese.

Now look at the price carefully, try to look at the goods and its' corresponding price. To others who looks for cheap food that belongs to either Japanese or Chinese cuisine, and some who wants to eat them both at the same time this place is for YOU! or should I say US! 

Bring in a budget of P100 - P200 peso for a Chinese or Japanese rice meal, sushi, dimsum, soup, desert or even drinks this place may become one of your favorite dine-in place!

After a few  minutes of thinking which food to eat on their menu, my Mom finally decided to JUST order a Kani Salad which is owrth around P120 peso which I'll tell you it's really WORTH IT! for it's humongous serving! also she add up some Gyoza which I think she just happen to "want to try and taste it" habit whenever we are eating somewhere new. The five piece gyoza was worth P100.

Then the next order was my Beef Curry which is worth a P150, and very worth it for me too, due to its' soft juicy beef and flavor full curry sauce over the rice made me satisfied for my dinner. Also there was a 4 piece Chicken Feet serving that my Dad ordered that we really did enjoy, It is worth P70 pesos and looks a good score for me dealing with the taste I'd give it a 7/10 for a chicken feet.

Wondering how the meals look like? Don't you guys worry I've taken a few snaps of 'em!








Each meal is served with a soup ( I really didn't get from what kind of soup meal it came from but from what I understand its a "soup" and it's free). We also ordered a pot of hot tea which is worth P50 pesos we emptied the Pot for all three of us and just asked the management to just fill the Pot with another hot water because the tea leaves inside is still usable.

The Kani Salad is dressed with Japanese Salad Dressing (or so I think that is what it is called). It was the first one to come to our table followed by the Chicken feet and the beef curry together with the hot tea and the soup!

The last order to arrive was the Gyoza which I think come on 3 or 4 minutes after the last order was served.

You will be served with chopsticks and can also request for spoon and fork if you do not know how to use a pair (and from my experience it really is hard to eat a rice meal with chopsticks specially if you're not used to it).

There were supposed to be five chunky Gyoza in there but by the time I picked up the camera the first one was already in her mouth so I was like, oh well might as well take the picture of what remains.  

After a few minutes of eating everything up of the tasty, deliciously cheap food, I did say my "Gochisousama!!!" and be done with it. I took off and try to take a few snaps of the "lucky money cat" display at their front entrance, after a few shots we got out and went home full and ready to take the good nights rest.

ICHIBAN EXPRESS is open from 10AM to 10PM in the evening at least that's what I saw from their opening and closing hours.

If I am not mistaken there are also lot of ICHIBAN food chains around the Philippines I just haven't been to some of them, and this was the first time I have ate and dine with the restaurant. From the branch that we ate from I'd say they gave us a good service and food so I'll give them a 8/10 for the service and 9/10 for the food!!! 

 
aaaand here is the cute lucky white CAT!!!

[HOW TO- TORIALS] Create your own Business / Call Card in PHOTOSHOP in 5 quick and easy steps

Here comes the quick and easy steps on how to create your own business/ call card for your own company, other people or just for your self.

These steps are made assuming you already have created your own Logo or Name for your own Company or group (Note* the numbers and address that I've used are all made up).

STEP 1: On your Photoshop (either what CS it is 4 5 or 6) click on the File Menu and click on New



STEP 2:  You will be prompted with a New screen which will ask you the width, height resolution. The common size for a call / business card is around 3.5 inches x 2 inches (width or height depends if you want it on a portrait or landscape look). Then make sure that you change the resolution to 300 or higher but I'd really suggest to make it 300 just to be safe (this is for printing purposes).


STEP 3: Place your ready made, downloaded or custom designed Logo by clicking on File and click  Place. After that you will be prompted to screen where you will have to browse your logo either in .jpg or .png (or any image format your Photoshop likes to read). But this time I'd really suggest you design and pick a logo under a .png format. Select the image and click on the Place button.

 

STEP 4: Place your logo depending on what position or layout you are following (most people look for a reference material in making designs and layout, means they just use some template and make use of its layout for their cards). Place your logo on a position it is readable, easy to read or see and make sure it has chemistry and balance when all the details you want when it is mixed with all the elements of your business card (like how the fonts look like, how the fonts interact or looks good with the logo, the position of both the logo and text).


The elements that you must not forget inside your card is your address, contact number, email address (if any), your website (if any), your name, position on the company, group, or organization, and your services or what you are offering.

STEP 5 Finally Save your work either as .jpg or .pdf and print your work on a quality printer and cut it down to a size if you have the cutting board to that cuts exactly the size of a standard call card or make sure to put some red or bleed lines on the side of your design or layout before printing so you will know where to cut when you print. you can always save your work and ask someone who knows how to print this kind of stuff.



Here is my sample output when I tried printing on a bond paper:
