Yellow Cab's Pizzarrific Opening at Centennial Road Cavite

I've always been a fan of Yellow Cab though we don't have a branch in my hometown back then. I remember travelling up to 2 hours just to get a taste of their great pizzas, because the nearest branch happens to be in Baguio City. Oh The things I'll do for some good pizza.

Yellow Cab Pizza Co. also has good stuff happening to all people from the South, especially to those who are around Gen. Trias Cavite! 

Yellow Cab's latest branch is located at EPZA-Tejero Bypass Road (Centennial), Brgy. Bacao II, Gen. Trias Cavite, they already had their soft opening last October 31, 2015. 

Menu

And, last November 4 was their Pizzarrefic grand opening which I was invited together with two fellow bloggers and Ms. Irene Layno of Yellow Cab Team. We arrived around 12 noon to a busy store since it was already lunch time. The store isn't that big, I believe it can accomodate up to 30 diners only at a time. But they set up an extension outside to accomodate more, since they also have some opening promotion for diners.

No matter how busy, we were welcomed warmly by the friendly staffs and our needs were attended accordingly. While waiting for our foods to be served, we began with the pizza making activity. The activity was set by 2 batches, 2 bloggers at a time and my 2 fellow bloggers went in first. The other blogger didn't make it to the event so it was just me for the second batch. 

I was a bit nervous at first but eventually enjoyed making my own pizza, the Yellow Cab way! I was taught and assisted by sir Franco to make one of their best seller pizza, the New York's Finest which happens to be one of my favorite. Yey!

The pizza dough was already prepared so we just did the toppings, which are the following:

1. Pizza Sauce

2. Mozzarella and Parmesan Cheese 

3. Pepperoni

4. Ham

5.  Bacon

6. Ground Beef 

7. Garlic

8. Onions

9. Red and Green Bell Peppers

10. Mushroom

11. Olives

12. Italian Sausage

13. Mozzarella and Parmesan Cheese

I'm not really sure if I got the spices in the right order but what I do know is that each of them comes in generous amount. Each spices are weighed and are carefully patterned with the goal of covering the entire dough up to the crust with toppings. And, that's what makes their pizza really great compared to other pizzas wherein the toppings are mostly just around the center leaving the edges of the crust empty. Aside from learning I definitely had fun especially on the part where Sir Franco told me to toss the Italian Sausage with feelings, as if I'm mad haha. I wasn't so sure if he was just joking or he really meant it, but I did what he said anyway (lol).

 After filling the crust with toppings, here's what it looked like.

Ready to be baked in the oven for 5 minutes under 450 degrees Fahrenheit.

While waiting, I had a quick lunch, Charlie Chan Chicken Pasta and Hot wings! 

Finally my pizza is done and I get to slice it too!

Ooooh! It looks deliciously gorgeous!

After the pizza making, we got the chance to meet and have a small talk with the owners, Dr. Leonard Lao (wearing blue polo) and Dr. Ismael Mercado (wearing yellow polo) of Divine Grace Medical Center.

Picture with the owners, fellow bloggers and staffs

When asked why they chose to franchise Yellow Cab, Dr. Mercado answered:

"We do believe in the company, and whenever we go to Manila or elsewhere we would always hang around Yellow Cab so we thought why not just bring it here!" 

Now they don't have to go far just to relax and hang out because their store is just very accessible to the hospital where they work. 

The Store opening was indeed a Pizzarrific success, thank you so much for having us!

Visit them now at, EPZA-Tejero Bypass Road (Centennial), Brgy. Bacao II, Gen. Trias Cavite or call them at 416-9999 for delivery.

Chinese Food Fest! Part 2 at David's Tea House (Mall of Asia)

Lots of empty seats isn't really a good sign but we thought on giving it a try.

This is the 2nd Chinese Food Review for restaurants that we went to last October. It was our first time to eat here to Celebrate my husband's birthday. The place does look good in all honest opinion but we were wondering why there wasn't much people around. It could be the time which we arrived around 7pm. We ordered some of the usuals that we order in chinese food restaurants.

First was the Spinach soup... My husband immediately commented about how sour it tasted. We thought it was just him but after 2 spoons full we also tasted the sour taste of the soup. We immediately asked to the waiter and got it confirmed that it was already spoiled. They asked us whether we want to change it and my in laws to said to just change it to Nido Soup which was again another mistake. We can probably make tastier soup at home. Appetizers really sets your expectations of what to follow and it gave us a bad impression which pretty much ruined the mood.

Radish Cake (Needs salt, Lots of salt)

Shrimp Siomai was good.(they have a promo of buy 2 take 1 by the way)

Fried rice and Pancit Canton (Definitely need to order these right?) The only dissappointment is the serving size.

Laput Lapu. We like it but there was a bit of disconnect with the waiter. We wanted Steamed Lapu Lapu since it's easier to eat. (ended up accepting it anyway)

We also order shirmp broccolli but to be honest we already lost a bit of appetite to even take pictures and just wanted to get things over with. I'm not sure if we'll ever go back. (Hopefully the second chance we'll give them sometime in the future would be worth it.)

Let's not forget group pictures! Trying to smile and still be thankful for another year of blessings.

My Belkin Wishlist

A day without my gadgets reminds me of that movie where all technology got destroyed. Yes, it would probably feel like it's the end of the world hahaha. My husband and I are always on the go as bloggers, parents and professionals. I remember what we used to also say to our customers when we used to work in a telecommunication company as sales representatives in the US. "Even kids nowadays have cell phones right?" Our gadgets especially our mobile phone really have a big role in our life. May it be checking our emails for updates from our clients, checking out our social media accounts like facebook, twitter and instagram, taking a bunch of pictures for blog reviews and even with our selfies! We want to always be on the go, luckily we encountered some of these must have "On the Go" products from the merchant, BELKIN PH BY MACPOWER.

My #BelkinWishlist

You can check these out at Lazada for reference.

What could possible go wrong without these? Chaos and Madness! *Ok that's too much exaggeration but you get the point* Definitely an experience you can solve with some Belkin magic~

Belkin Premium 1.2 Meter Lightning Sync/Charge Cable (White) 

Choice of 5 metallic colors to mix & match

 Belkin Black Mamba Mixit Micro USB to USB Cable (Black)  

Choice of 5 metallic colors to mix & match

I love how these are specifically made for specific type of devices. One for the Apple Woman and One for the Android Man. We can just simply plug it in to charge, sync media files to our device, or upload data to a laptop. What we love most about this is it's durability. Both have braided cables with Aluminum shells that makes these the perfect partner to withstand heavy usage.

I can only imagine the horror of having to buy new ones cause of our frequent usage especially since we have some playful kids in the house.

Belkin Mixit 4000mAh Power Pack (Pink) and (Blue)

Also comes in (Black)

First things first! I love the matching colors which coincidentally our favorite colors. The fact that it's compatible with any usb enabled devices makes it the perfect battery backup you can always rely on. (4,000 mAh for hours of charge) The best part is that it has a Belkin Connected Equipment Warranty. If your device is damaged by an electrical charge while properly connected to the charger, Belkin will repair or replace it up to a value of $2,500

We sometimes can't resist using our phones before going to different events, travelling or simply going out. In some cases it will be him playing some games and me going online. It would be terrible to lose out on some instagramable pictures as well as staying in touch with your friends and family while going to different places and events.

Belkin Road Rockstar 4 Port Family Car Charger Port 7.2A (Black)  

Imagine a Barkada Size Pizza (Oopps now I'm craving for one haha) This is my ideal on the go car charger for the whole family. It allows up to 4 devices to charge all at the same time at optimal speed. (2 USB ports for driver and passenger, while 2 USB ports extend to the backseat passengers.) It's also covered with BELKIN CONNECTED EQUIPMENT WARRANTY

No more Chaos and Madness! (again with the exaggeration haha) Every one will never have to worry about taking turns on charging their devices. 

The family that charges their devices together takes a groupie together ^_^

How about you? Do you have a #BelkinWishlist ?
