Lam Tin Tea House

Looking for an affordable Chinese food? Try Lam Tin Tea House. It’s a casual dining restaurant that serves reasonably priced food. This is our favorite place to dine whenever my family and I are craving for Chinese food on a tight budget. Been here for numerous times already yet their food never failed to disappoint me, I always leave with a happy tummy ;)
 
Last night, as my mom was not in the mood to cook our dinner, she suggested that we just eat out. We don't want the typical fast food thing at the moment, and payday is still way too far, hence, we all agreed to have our dinner here once again.
 
 
 
Our all-time favorite is their Noodle Feast. This dish is large enough to share. It's a serving of flat noodles with bits and pieces of everything... white chicken, spicy pork, beef, dumplings and Chinese pechay. This comes with a semi-sweet sauce usually served on top of the noodles, but in our case, we always request them to serve the sauce in a separate bowl simply because we want to be in control of the taste.
 
Around Php240.00
 
Another thing we like here is their yang chow fried rice. It has generous pieces of shrimps, pork asado, scrambled egg and green peas. One can enjoy it even in the absence of a main dish... hehehe.
 
Yang Chow Fried Rice Php90.00 - Good for 2 pax
 
We also love their version of buttered chicken, sweet and sour shrimp, and fried squid (sorry, got no pictures of it). These are what we usually order every time we dine here. And of course, as a typical Chinese restaurant, they also offer free tea plus refillable soup! =)

February... my Feborite month!

Woohoo! It’s the first day of the Love Month ♥♥♥ My Birth Month too! I can’t explain my excitement every time this month arrives, the same way I feel towards the month of September (our anniversary month) and November (my son’s birth month). These months have a special spot in my heart!

I’m such a hopeless romantic person, a sucker for love stories, a believer of happy endings, even emotional at times. And to justify this craziness, I’m correlating it to the fact that I was born in the Love Month… hahaha!

Surely, I’m excited to spend another Valentine’s Day with my family, but I’m more excited to celebrate another year of my life with them. A few days from now another year will be added to my age… uh-oh!... but hey, they’re just numbers, I can have a selective amnesia for that… hahaha! Well, seriously, I think that the additional year to my age is a reminder that now I have to be more cautious with my health and diet. I need to have a healthy body, mind and spirit so my family and I can spend a lifetime of years.

Goals for 2013

There are a lot of things I want to accomplish this year... and here they are... I hope I can achieve all of them... just a wishful thinking! ;)

By the way, they are in no particular order...
 
  • Be active in blogging. I really admire those who manage to maintain an updated blog... how I wish I could do the same. Well, to start off, here I am making my first post for this year ;) 
  • Lose 30 lbs. From 100 lbs. back in college (year 2002), I consistently gained weight year after year... hahaha... thanks to my superb appetite, not to mention those pounds I gained during my pregnancy days... thus, I'm now weighing 150 lbs. Booo! =( So for this year, I'm trying to go back to my "dalaga" weight which was about 120 lbs. Sana lang makayanan ko... hahaha!
  • Invest in a mutual fund. For my son's future.
  • Witness the Hot Air Balloon Fiesta. I have always been fascinated with hot air balloons. For so long this has always been listed in my yearly plans, but never ever materialized due to time and budget constraints. Kasi naman lagi kasabay ng birthday ko yung event, kaya tuloy laging wala kong budget for this... hahaha!
  • Dine at Antonio's Garden. Ironic how I'm dying to lose weight and here I am fantasizing of dining here. But pardon me, I was in love at first sight with the place the first time I saw its pictures in the net and other blog sites.
  • Explore Ilocos Norte and Ilocos Sur. I have been to Vigan during my teenybopper years, when I played a part on my cousin's wedding entourage held in that province. Wasn't able to maximize our stay there because the focus then was on the wedding. I only had a few minutes walk on the famous Calle Crisologo. I once told myself that I'll definitely come back here and explore it.  
  • Experience Boracay. Who doesn't want to huh???

That's it for now. I don't want to make a long list, for the longer it is the more impossible it will be for me to achieve.
