shopwise

yes, this is a food review.

a week ago, i went grocery shopping with my father in shopwise, cubao. right in the middle of their bakery and fresh produce sections is a food place. there are foodbooths that offer a variety of dishes and there are several monoblock tables and chairs where you can gobble up the food.

there were so many choices! there was a stand that sells my favorite shawarma next to the stall that sells my favorite bibingka. there's also a purefoods stand that has the hotdogs that i really love. even gloria maris has a stall! (i think it's becoming too obvious that i love food.)

anyway, fatherlily got adobo and prawn balls from a stall selling chinese food. i got roasted duck on rice from gloriamaris and one-fourth kilo of cebu lechon!

the only hitch was that the person manning the cashier's booth was on break so i had to line up at the regular booths. it took me about 10 minutes to pay so this lessened my excitement. but not by much! because when i got to claim all the food that we ordered, everything just looked and smelled so delicious!

father lily and i shared the prawn balls and the lechon. the prawn balls were huge and tasty and the lechon was really flavorful. the skin was still crispy! i loved dipping it in soy sauce and calamansi.

i also loved my roast duck. i didn't expect much from it - i was thinking that the food they serve in their restaurants would probably be a lot better than the food that they serve in such a small stall. but i was mistaken. the roast duck was perfectly cooked and it was served with all the condiments that are available in any of their restaurants. it was just perfect.

fatherlily also loved his adobo.

so we really had a feast and were very happy with each dish that we ordered.

and the icing on the cake? everything that we ordered, including the canned drinks that we got, cost less than P400!
