COOKIE MUG

Marikina will never run out of interesting food places, quite notable is the foodie haven boom at Lilac Street! My friend KC Astroboy, blog author of Fly, Astroboy, Fly, recommended this cool dessert cafe at the other end of Lilac: the wonder that is COOKIE MUG!

You'll get immediately drawn to the place by the smell of baked goodies and freshly brewed coffee, and maybe the statue of Betty Boop that I wasn't able to take a picture of (booo). The most interesting product of the cafe was of course, the cookie mugs. Edible shot-glass shaped cookies into which you can pour milk, caramel, or chocolate milk. The best part of course is eating the cookie mug after you finish your drink. Enjoy the photos!

 Cupcakes are for celebrations indeed! 

 A platter of goodies! Yeyyyy!

 Oreo Cream Cheese Scoop with White Chocolate Melt (35 PhP) --- SUPER YUMMY!

 Cheese Cookie-Cake Shot (100 PhP) --- YUMMY AGAIN!

 Here is the most talked-about specialty of them all --- a cookie mug shot! I ordered one with milk.

 How can you not love cookies with milk, right? :-) Nom nom nom!

 I would love more of these please!! XOXO

ERSAO

The first time I learned there's an ERSAO branch in Lilac Street, I was the happiest being on Earth.

I love Ersao, since my UP teacher days, I often checked them out at the UP Shopping Center, ordering nothing but the spicy squid rice every time. Six years after, Ersao is in Marikina and the menu is still just as delicious - of course, with the spicy squid rice, hehe!

What I really love about Ersao is the variety their menu offers. From appetizers, to side dishes, noodles, rice boxes, and of course, milk tea, shakes and other refreshing drinks... No one would have a problem picking out what to order from the menu.

 With my ninja side-kick, Sis! :-)

 They have a freedom wall too!

 Spice rack

 Love their menu! Next time I'll order cuajitos!

 For take out, you might want to try their frozen boxed items.

 The spicy squid rice (85 PhP) I have been raving about since 2006. Hahaha!

Sis ordered the chicken rice (105 PhP). Yummy sauce as the spicy quid dish. 

 The free soup that I just couldn't get enough of. Those pork bits and fats... raaawr.

Adobong tofu (45 PhP) that is insanely flavorful!

Ersao offers quality and delicious meals at affordable prices. Visit them at Lilac Street now! (And make sure you try the spicy squid rice! hehehe)

BURRITO BROTHERS

Finally, a Mexican foodie spot in Marikina! Driving along Lilac street on our way to SKOW the other week, we saw this place and immediately included it on our list. Yesterday, we all agreed to have lunch at Burrito Brothers. (They are still on soft opening, as they just opened the place last May 25.)

Burrito Brothers accepts orders for pick up and take out. The dining area can accommodate 10 to 15 people. It is a self-service restaurant, so for orders and all your other needs, you can just approach them at the window.

 Me and Sister while waiting for our orders

Nice mini-landscape at the dining area - plus, their chairs are heavy and really sturdy!

Let's get to the grub!

 Nacho Grande (Everything on it at 110 PhP)

 Super Burrito (129 PhP)

 Beef and Cheese Nachos with an extra order of Jalapenos (70 PhP plus 25 PhP for an extra order of Jalapenos)

Super Taco (Man, that is one BIG taco at 129 PhP)

It's a Mexican feast we're having! (Those sticks are Flauta Cheese rolls with salsa at 55 PhP)

Visit Burrito Brothers and satisfy your Mexican food cravings today! Like I said, they also accept advanced orders for pick up. Just refer to the numbers below. :)
