Churreria La Lola

Me and the hubby battled through the SM Megamall 3-day sale traffic for some tech accessories shopping and of course, to finally get a taste of Lola!

Being that it was the weekend of the 3-day sale, La Lola had quite a line. It did not matter since we really wanted to try their churros and Xuxos.

We ordered a Large Churros Classico (Php 195) with a large Hot Chocolate (Php 100) and a Nutella-stuffed Xuxos (Php 120).

The Churros was served fresh, hot of the fryer! It was crunchy on the outside and was soft on the inside. Their hot chocolate dip was spot-on! It wasn't too sweet, nor too bitter, and the consistency was just right. It paired perfectly with the classic churros. This would probably be ranked as my 2nd favorite churros ( I still love the one from Mercato), based on both taste and price. Now, the Nutella-stuffed Xuxos is a whole different story. It was oozing with Nutella, and I fell in-love with in on the first bite! It was sinfully addicting and I could just care less about all the extra calories that it gave me. Also, no-sharing for this yummy baby.

Taste-wise, we loved La Lola's Classic Churros and Xuxos. However, we did found it just a bit more expensive than other places that served churros (i.e., Dulcinea, Don Churros), because you have to purchase the hot chocolate dip separately. They do offer the Chocochurro (chocolate dipped churros), but it is also priced a-lot more than the classic churros.

Overall, it was a great experience. I do hope they eventually come up with a pricing that offers the classis churros and hot chocolate as a bundle. :)

Brown Derby

Last July 28, I celebrated my 30th birthday. I initially ordered a pan of lasagna from someone I knew, unfortunately, she had a last minute cancellation excuse. Oh well, lesson learned.

Anyway, thinking about an alternative merchant whom I can order pasta from, Brown Derby came into mind.

Brown Derby is just a hole-in-the-wall take-out counter. They're known for their Footlong Hotdogs, but their pasta dishes are also delish. We've been ordering from this place ever since my high school days, and the proximity to our place is a definite plus! It's actually been a while since I've been trying so many other foodie places. So now, once again, I come home to Brown Derby.

I ordered a "bilao" of Spaghetti that was good for 15 people and a box of 25 pieces of Pichi-pichi.

  

Do note that you have to order in advance so they can accommodate you. I forgot the exact prices but my entire bill did not cost more than Php 1,000.

All I can say is that both the spaghetti and pichi-pichi were super yummy! I felt like a kid while eating these dishes.

Thank you so much for making my birthday a happy one! ^_^
