Shawa Wama invades 8Cuts Burger #i8Shawa

-
Love burgers? Love shawarma? Well in an ordinarily normal world, these two types of food items will never ever mix. You can only have one or the other. But who ever said life is ever ordinary? The metro's well-loved shawarma joint, Shawa Wama, recently invaded the space of its sister restaurant - 8Cuts and I personally couldn't be happier.

You see, Shawa Wama opened their first branch at the Powerplant Mall and for somebody who rarely gets out of San Juan City, this has been on my to-try list for the longest time. Thankfully, I got wind that Shawa Wama will be at 8Cuts until November 11, 2018 so I made the most of this opportunity and dragged Paul out for an impromptu shawarma date at our neighborhood 8Cuts outlet for lunch one day.

I could have easily ordered my 8Cuts favorites but I was a woman with a mission that day and it was purely all shawarma, hummus and pita on the agenda for that particular visit. We got the Beef Special Set (Php. 345) which is a hearty platter of your choice of protein (beef/chicken/primo beef), rice, slaw, pita, hummus and iced tea. This was so delicious! I love how tender the beef was and the rice was fluffy and fragrant just the way I love it.

What really made our meal all the more interesting were these four homemade dips which we happily alternated in trying. I personally love the creamy white garlic sauce paired with some bird's eye hot chili (which I felt was still lacking in heat).

We also tried the Stuffed Pita Sets (Php. 299) which is good for one but we opted to still share as we both wanted to try these two dishes. This is one that I don't mind ordering to go for the movies. The ground chicken was well packed inside a warm and soft pita pocket and stuffed with creamy hummus and sweet potato fries. Once again, we drizzled this with lots of garlic cream sauce and chili before a bite.

Oh...that sweet potato and hummus combination was amazing! ♥

Both are really good but if I were to play favorites, then it got to be the Beef Special Set simply because I love rice. I think the serving size made this a good, reasonable offer. At least for now until the 11th, I can have an excuse to indulge on Shawa Wama's specialties, don't you agree?

Head over to the nearest 8Cuts Burger outlet near you and get your Shawa Wama fix!

Franny Mommy Finds : Happy Noz Sticker Patch

As a parent, I have one thing that I dread the most and that's when any of my kids fall sick. From the moment we detect the faintest sniffle followed by sneezes and runny nose, we know one thing is for sure -- we will be having a couple of sleepless nights. For twins, it is very common that when one falls sick, expect the other one to follow suit in just a matter of days, sometimes within hours even.  A few years ago, my twins would catch a cold and we really would struggle because they'd become very fussy and cranky at night. They're sleepy and tired from the cold but with a clogged nose, they can't really have a restful night and this means, either one of us will have to sit up and carry them all throughout the night. It came to a point wherein both kids were sick and Paul and I eventually caught the bug too. It was just so hard to care for the kids while you're not in the best condition as well. This got me researching on remedies on how we can have a good night ...

Bag of Beans (Charito) in Tagaytay

I can't believe that we have been frequenting Tagaytay for more than a decade now and not once have I written about Bag of Beans ! I tried searching all over this blog and I found..nothing. To think that not a single trip to Tagaytay, back then, would ever be complete without stopping by Bag of Beans for lunch or merienda. I must have been to engrossed with their coffee and bread that I wasn't able to take photos of the place and their food thus no blog entry. They, after all, have one of the best brewed coffee in Tagaytay and the yummiest bread to go with it too. Bag of Beans has been an institution in Tagaytay. Just like us, other tourists and visitors would make sure to drop by in order to grab a bite or to take home some of their homemade goodies every time they find themselves in Tagaytay. Bag of Beans started with one branch along the Tagaytay-Nasugbu Main Road across Residence Inn Zoo and it wasn't even overlooking the Taal. While they may lack in having a scenic ...

IKEA Singapore Pyjamas Party

For those who have watched the movie 500 Days of Summer starring Zooey Deschanel and my ex-boyfriend Joseph Gordon-Levitt, you probably also loved this scene: Paul and I are regular shoppers of IKEA . It's highly possible that someday, we will be able to furnish our future home with IKEA furniture pieces and items as it has been our go-to place since our 1st day here in Singapore. We would joke that if only we can live in IKEA, we probably would go for it. Well, who would have thought that the opportunity would come for us to "spend the night" in IKEA? A week ago, Paul and I were chosen to be one of the lucky few to join the exclusive IKEA Pyjamas Party . It was a 4-hour event starting at 11PM and we were told to come in..what else?!...our PJs. We were too shy though so we just went in our comfy t-shirt and shorts. Well, some were really brave and came in their full PJs complete with fluffy bedroom slippers! This event was to launch the 2015 IKEA catalogue also...
