My kind of guy - The Sandwich Guy. That is a bad pun but whatever. This post is however, dedicated to the sandwich lovers out there (*coughs*). 

Aesthetically wise, they did a good job at the details which is a plus for me because I take everything into consideration. The interior is very smart with the hexagon shape which you can obviously find on the sandwich and the tables and chairs. The sandwiches look good too as you can see in the photos below.

As for the taste, tasty but not overbearing because you'll still be able to taste the wheat bread. Mushy Bacon is worth every penny. Well, you can't go wrong with bacon but there is just something very comforting to the taste buds when it comes to the combination of bacon and mushroom melt - a foodgasmic experience. In the case of Angry Beef, still yummy but it would have been better if the chili con carne taste would turn up because the veggies took over the meaty taste and as the name implies it should explode with some crazy beef action. But I still liked it though.

So, the recent rave in the category of spreads is Trader Joe's Speculoos Cookie Butter. Nutella jars must be so jealous because the pre selling of these jars are always sold out.

 And now, Gonuts Donuts have definitely seen the hype, adapted its taste and made their own tasty mix to it by having the glazed donut topped with the cookie butter. It was first released on April 1, 2013. The cookie butter itself tastes cinnamon, with a little gingery kick (Maybe that's just me imagining the taste.) and what I like about this is that it doesn't have that over the top sweetness that makes you wanna leave the donut unfinished and with classic glaze it's just a perfect combination. 

All in all, it is a delish flavor and a great addition to its other flavors and I must say that it truly is a piece of heaven in your hands. 

The price is Php 36.00 per piece and Php 285.00 per dozen.

If you haven't tried this, and go ahead and grab yours now. They are available at:

• SM North EDSA
• SM Makati
• SM Mall of Asia
• Market! Market!
• Shopwise Arcade, Araneta Center

All I see is RED! This recipe is based on Kevin Lynch's recipe or rather more of a response to his recipe. It is actually pretty doable for a beginner in cooking (like me). All you have to do is saute, add ingredients and let it boil then simmer. When you have this for left over, it is much tastier because the ingredients were marinated for a long time.

Ingredients:

1 teaspoon sesame oil
1/2 pound pork belly (cut into bite sized pieces) - samgyeopsal

                    in this recipe we used bacon as a substitute
2 cloves garlic (chopped)
2 cups dashi (or water)
1 cup kimchi (cut into bite sized pieces)
2 tablespoons gochujang
1 tablespoon gochugaru
1/2 package tofu (cut into bite sized pieces)
1 small onion (sliced)
1 cup zucchini (cut into bite sized pieces)
2 green chilies (sliced)
2 green onions (sliced)

Directions:

1. Heat the oil in a large sauce pan.
2. Add the pork and saute until it is no longer pink, about 2-5 minutes. In this case, since we run out of pork belly, our alternative is bacon. A bit pricey but it's definitely worth the price I tell you.
3. Add the garlic and saute until fragrant, about a minute.

4. Add the kimchi and water or dashi, bring to a boil.
5. Mix in the gochujang and gochugaru and simmer for 20 minutes.

6. Add the tofu, onion, zucchini and chilies and simmer until tender, about 5 minutes.

7. Remove from heat and add the green onions.

And now the finish product!
