205 Kitchen -- Frozen Meat and Premium Ready to Eat Dishes

-

Woah! I can't believe it's November and in 8 full weeks, we're bidding 2020 goodbye. Are you excited for that? If 2021 means having a better and fresh beginning that's free of sickness and calamities then I'm so ready to bid 2020 goodbye. 

I had a very relaxing weekend that I think I just kept on napping whenever I can. In fact, I intend to spend my weekends that way. 101% of my time focused on my family and catching up on sleep whenever I can. My kids are growing up so fast and I just want to savor every moment with them. See, a few weeks ago, they celebrated their 3rd birthday. Can you believe it? It just feels like yesterday that I delivered them and Paul and I were still trying to learn the ropes on how to take care of newborn twins. Today, they're very opinionated toddlers who are not afraid to speak their mind and they can really make choices too. Anyway, more on the twins' birthday party as I can't wait to share how it went with you too. 

For now, let me talk about one of my favorite food vendors this quarantine period -- 205 Kitchen. The crew behind 205 Kitchen started their business last year selling Smoked Lechon Belly, Steak, Ham and Smoked Pulled Pork to name a few. Later on, they've added in more items to their line-up such as their best selling Wagyu Beef Brisket, marinated pork barbecue, assorted sausages, Honeycured Bacon and more.

One of my favorites is the Pork BBQ which sells for P300 for 10 sticks and it's so easy to cook! Just fire up the grill and cook this to perfection. No need for any additional basting sauce but if you really must, they also have their barbecue sauce available for sale too. I've been ordering this for months now and has been sharing the cooked version with family for my birthday and recently the twins' birthday too.

I also love their Honeycured Bacon. Readers of this blog know that I was never a fan of bacon and it takes a really delicious and good quality type of bacon to impress me. I got to admit, it took me a while to use this pack of Honeycured Bacon from 205 Kitchen but finally with a fresh batch of enoki mushrooms and asparagus, I created bacon-wrapped enoki and asparagus one evening and even without much seasoning, this one turned out to be really yummy. We pan-fried it, but I think having it grilled would make it even better as it will be less oily. 

Apart from their frozen meat, I love 205 Kitchen's Baked items. From their Dynamite Sushi Bake to their Smoked Nachos, I just love how 205 Kitchen has managed to elevate what is seemingly a common dish into something more premium and special with the use of top quality ingredients. The serving is also very generous so it surely gives you a lot of bang for your buck.

Allow me to talk a bit more about the Nachos. I am a fan of nachos and I thought I've tried them all. Not until I tried 205 Kitchen's Smoked Nachos which has Smoked USDA Minced Angus Beef with 3 types of cheese, jalapeños and their signature salsa. It's so good and addicting that normally one sampler tray can easily be consumed in one sitting. Imagine that from the usual ground beef, they decided to give it a nice smokey flavor and how this complemented the milk cheese sauce that covers it. So good! 

They have recently also launched their very own Kare Kare and Cajun Shrimp Boil which are the two things next on my list. I love Kare Kare and I have a bottle of 205 Kitchen's bagoong here at home and it's one of the best that I've tried. It has a nice sweet kick perfectly complementing your dish instead of letting the strong aroma and flavor overpower your senses. If their Kare Kare is the kind that goes well with their delicious bagoong, then I can just imagine how much I'll enjoy this one too. 

Regardless if you're throwing a mini celebration at home or you just want to enjoy a good meal, 205 Kitchen is definitely one that you have to keep in your bookmark to make ordering a breeze. Look like I'll be placing another order as writing this entry is making me crave for their Smoked Nachos and Barbecue!

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...
