Since its launch here in the Philippines, I haven't tried KFC's Double Down. I don't know.

Here are some articles.

KFC's Famous Double Down Is Back In Town

LOOK: KFC's iconic Double Down is back.

These two items from McDonald's Philippines.

Before the lockdown started here in the Philippines, one of my favorites from McDonald's Philippines's is their sandwich Sausage McMuffin with Egg, and their hash brown.

I don't remember the last time I ate the aforementioned items from the aforementonined fast food chain. But today, ngayon ulit ako nakakain nun ng nasabing fast food chain.

One year and six months. 1 year and 6 months.

Minute Burger, Burger Machine, and Angel's Burger.

I miss eating a burger of Burger Machine. And I don't remember the last time I ate a burger of Burger Machine. I remmeber eating Bulilit Burger of Burger Machine way back around late 1990s, when I was still in high school.

I remember that one of the people we know gave us a plastic bag of hamburgers, but I don't remember the name of the brand, but it is not Angel's Burger. I din't like the burger, but the burger is not from Angel's Burger.

As speaking of Burger Machine and Angel's Burger, I don't remember eating their burgers.

On this superhero-themed café in SM Megamall.

Too bad, this superhero-themed café in SM Megamall is already closed. Since the café opened in 2018, until it was permanently closed yesterday, hindi ko pa nasusubukan kumain dito.

McDonald's Philippines' Fish and Fries

For the past two (2) years McDonald's Philippines offered their customers with Double Fillet-O-Fish. This year, the popular local fast food chain a British twist. It is called "Fish and Fries".

I think they offer this because of the Lent season.

It contains fries and crispy fish fillet. It has only one fish fillet. It also comes a dip of your choice, with either Sweet & Sour, Tangy Thousand Island, or Creamy Tartar Sauce.

Please be informed that McDonald's Philippines offer this for a limited time only.

iEat dinner at Aozora Japanese Cafe + Bistro.

Bago tuluyan umuwi, ako, nanay ko, older brother ko, sister-in-law, ko at 2 nephews, kumain kami sa Aozora Japanese Cafe + Bistro. Overlooking Taal Lake & Volcano, kaya lang gabi na nung kumain kami sa restaurant.

Masarap sa akin yung Japanese-inspired na bulalo, yung Aozora Ramen. Syempre, hindi mawawala ang tempura sa Japanese food.

Kaya lang, hindi kumpleto ang food ng restaurant na ito. Kumbaga, kukulangan ako.

iEat at Lido Cocina Tsina.

It was my first time to eat at Lido Cocina Tsina. And it was my first time to eat at their branch Mindanao Avenue, Quezon City.

Lido Cocina Tsina is a Chinese restaurant. And their branch at the aforementioned branch is small, and it has two (2) floors. And it is near/beside Phoenix Gas Station gasoline station.

Their food is like most Chinese restaurants. Pancit, fish fillet, rice, etc.

The one being a first timer visitor, and being a first time diner.

Last night was my first visitor at Fisher Mall. Last night was also my first time to eat at Pedro 'N Coi as a diner.

I haven't the chance to roam around the aforementoned shopping due to the fact that my family & I went their to eat and celebrate my father's birthday (although he's currently in the Samar province) at the aforementioned restaurant.

Nakakaliw yung mga pangalan ng mga pagkain sa Pedro 'N Coi. The restaurant has two floors in the third/3rd level of the shopping mall. It has two/2 jeepneys to seat in; small jeepneys for the seasonings; and other items that I forgot that common here in the Philippines. The restaruant has also some Philippine history features.

Some of the food are good for 2 to 5 or 6 persons. And if my memory serves me right, it was design by beauty queen Shamcey Supsup.

This breakfast meal from Greenwich.

There was a branch Greenwich along F. Ortigas Jr. Road (formerly Emerald Avenue) in Ortigas Centre. It was located on the Ground Floor of the building Raffles Building & beside Starbucks. I don't know why that branch closed. But that's not the pic of this post.

The post is about the Greenwich branches that offer breakfast.

I forgot the taste of those two hotdogs* and that scrambled egg. If my memory serves me right, the drink/beverage I have at that time is Coke.

The photo/picture was taken last December 23, 2011, Friday.

* Depende kasi sa ingredients na ginamit at sa pagluluto.
