New Bombay Indian cuisine part II

Check out the first part of our New bombay authentic indian cuisine part 1

Our tummy pinpoint this again.

It seems that we plan to try each of their dishes haha. Anyway, here's another steaming spicy dishes from New Bombay Authentic Indian cuisine.

Mutton (made of lamb) biryani (rice-based food)

             

Chicken madurai

Last time I ordered Chicken Tikka masala, now chicken madurai for a change. I love this curry dish because of its creamy consistency, medium spicy and very addicting!

 

Err.. hubby ordered this and he forgot its name. Tsk

Anyway, it's chicken. If we dine here again (surely it is) I'll take note of this ;) 

 

Samosa

Empanada-like.

 

Cheese naan

Oh we super love this bread! even if it is "just" a bread, its cheese blends well inside that as if you're eating solely a cheese.

dry fruit shake (Lassi)

Yogurt drink (Lassi) on which it has a very coarse grain of nuts and dry fruit. Not suitable for people with cough :p

The owner of this resto is very nice and proactive. The funny thing was, we thought he doesn't speak tagalog because HE IS AN INDIAN. So we talked to him in english.  But then in the middle of conversation, he suddenly said " dito na po ako lumaki sa Pilipinas." :D

Happy weekend!

Chocolate is the first luxury. It has so many things wrapped up in it: Deliciousness in the moment, childhood memories, and that grin-inducing feeling of getting a reward for being good.

Mariska Hargitay

Bacon and mushroom carbonara. Success!

My ingredients for our dinner..

What I did:

1. Cook the pasta (whether spaghetti or linguine) for 10-15 minutes, al dente
2. After draining the pasta, set aside for awhile.
3. In a separate pan, add 2 tbsp of olive oil then cook 6-10 rashes of sliced bacon until brown
4. Add sliced mushrooms then wait for 5 mins
5. Add the creams (as shown above) then simmer for 5-10 mins
6. After that, add 2 egg yolks, stirring  it continously to the pan. As an alternative you can put cheese instead of eggs.
7. salt and pepper (1 tsp each)
8. Mix it with your pasta.

And that's it. Easy

Ta-da!

The outcome is rich and creamy.

If you want it a bit thinner, add 1/4 cup of water.

What to do with the egg whites?

Mix it with your fried rice. Don't waste it

New Bombay: Authentic Indian Cuisine

Grocery again, that means eating out.

We scour first the Glorietta 3 restaurants to try something new to our taste. We were actually thinking if Vietnamese or Indian cuisine. And so we've made our decision.



Indian cuisine it is!

When you think of indian dishes, you say, "Ah! curry", "spicy".
They also have a stall at Food choices inside Glorietta 4, however, I find it less tasty and refined than their food in restaurant.

 

Onion Cheese Pakora

165Php

It tasted like potatoes and onions with 2 dips (spinach and uhh.. I forgot the other one..barbecue -like sauce?)

Fish Kadai

245Php  

Aha, hubby ordered this, so expect that this will burn your tongue!

Chicken Tikka Masala

245Php-265Php*

Then this is what I've ordered, I told to the waiter to make it medium spicy.
By the way, this is yummy. Creamy and lots of blended spices and herbs.

Shrimp Biryani

245-265Php*

Biryani, the most popular indian rice dish.

Even if their servings are small, I tell you it's so rich that you'll feel full.  

DESSERTS SIDE:

Gulabjamun

115Php

Hubby ordered his desserts, Gulabjamun. It tasted like caramel sauce, almond nuts, rosemary sauce, saffron and sweet ball like bread.

Kulfi (Indian ice cream)

                                                  125Php

While I ordered my desserts, Kulfi.
At first,  it may be odd. But then it gets yummy and yummier in every bite.
And it has this grit texture due to grinded almond nuts also with rosewater, vanilla and cream.

We spent 1,120Php to our dinner, but hey we were able to take home some of our food.

Pretty Furniture. But heavy.

Indian music. Completes the ambience.

*Due to memory gap, the prices are just estimated.

What I just bought from VMV Hypoallergenics

Worth 580Php

My skincare is not much into makeups which gives weight to my face that makes me so uneasy. Lip balm/gloss, loose powder and eyeliner is fine, sometimes BB cream. So I prefer more of a cleanser and moisturizer.

I first heard of VMV Hypoallergenics from the blogs I read and has pretty much of good feedbacks and reviews so I got curious and bought it yesterday at Glorietta.

My previous facial wash was Milk tea facial foam from Etude House which lasts for a year. You may notice that I only use one facial wash per year. Because.. That's me.

Anyway, I tried it awhile ago to my face, and I'm happy to say that I'll be buying one again from their boutique. This orange cream has this small beads to sloughs off my dry and rough skin particularly on my nose and forehead. The after effect still made my skin smooth and moisturized unike other wash I used that I have to frequently put on moisturizer.

They also accept major credit cards.

ABOUT MY SKIN:

My Skin type?

Normal to dry skin

Zits?

None. But only during PMS and lack of sleep.

Allergies?

Hmm.. Dust maybe. Usually if the climate is hot, my pores on my nose opens and itchy!

Skincare intervals?

I wash my face 2x a day (morning and night)

Other skincare?

Massaging your face upward will make your skin relax

Tri Mo Shawarma Co.

Pork Sisig

From 80Php now 90Php-95Php (I forgot the exact price)




Shawarma Sisig

100Php-105Php (I forgot the exact price)

At first sight the name Tri Mo Shawarma Co. Was like a company but then if you re-read it, "Try Mo Shawarma Ko." get it? clever isn't it?

I first heard it from my sister, she told me that, "May masarap na shawarma sa Lagro, sobrang dami tapos malaman pa." But that was way back then before I tried it. :)

Tri Mo Shawarma Co. Is the talk of the town especially if you're living near fairview. Out of curiosity, hubby and I scour the place of Lagro.

There you are Tri Mo! We found you, It was just near the main entrance, near the arc of Lagro.

What they say is true. Very affordable, big servings and so meaty! They've come up with 2 yummy sauces (the white and the red orange)

 And oh! A little confession to make, my post may sound "first time" but the truth is, I've tried for the nth time already. Anyway, let's ASSUME this is my FIRST shall we?

MOVING ON..

The place is exposed, simple, not too extravagant and crowded at peak hours (around 8pm-10pm). The thing I like about is the ambience, it's like you're free to be yourself. No pretensions at all.

Goldilocks: Chocolate mousse cake

Chocolate Mousse

500Php

Cakes aren't just for special occassions BUT for cravings as well :)

I also tried Red Ribbon's choco mousse, in comparison I guess RR's choco mousse is better than Goldi.

So what makes Goldi and RR's choco mousse cake different?

Their mousse.

Goldilocks's mousse is more buttery taste rather than creamy milky unlike RRs'.

But then based on Goldilocks and Red Ribbon's prices which are 500Php and 594Php respectively. It commensurates.

Pizza hut: Dessert sampler

Dessert sampler

199Php

After dinner, I still crave for desserts so hubby and I went to Pizza hut, Park square.

Hubby ordered Mozzarella stick (139Php) while I ordered Dessert sampler.

I super love their trio desserts which consist of mango panna cotta, mud pie sundae and choco lava cake that really satisfied my cravings. And it was "almost" all mine :)

Stackers burger, I'll be back :)

Strawberry Glaciers 

45Php

I didn't have a chance to buy their burgers due to unexpected circumstances. Anyhoo, I just can't wait to invite my hubby to dine in here and to taste their burgers :)
