Our Story:

We are here at wicked snow located inside sm clark. This place offers korean shaved ice creams called bingsu or snow sherbet and toasts. Yup, that's the only thing they got on the menu.

The place looks really nice. Cold. Cute and very fancy, Mewtut said its classic but i think its more of fancy. The theme is about wicked witches with some stories behind it that i didn't bother to know. Im kinda lazy reading the story that is posted in every wall of the store. The tables and chairs looks really nice and comfy. There is a tv ad playing all day that is kinda annoying because you will hear it for a hundred time as you stay in the store.

We order one of each kind. One wicked choco bingsu and one berry toast. Expensive! Is it worth it? Lets find out!

We waited for a short period of time. There's no wifi but there were electricity socket on the floor where you can connect your phone and charge. And there's this one boy who just did, i did not notice the charger so i tripped and his iphone fell on the floor. Not my fault!

They hand you a gadget that will buzz when your order is ready then pick it up on the counter. Ours buzzes and i had to stand to get my order, again i tripped on the stupid charger! And mocked the person, why the fuck are you charging in the pathway! He did not answer and he removed the charger.

So here is the Chocolate Bingsu. It looks a little bit different from their sample food display, but its ok. Its small so we thought its not worthy of the price - we have been to a great place in Marquee Mall called SnowBun and they got the best bingsu there so i know when i say this one is not okay.

This one got some wafer sticks, brownies, a cookie, some chocolate crushed biscuits and chocolate shaved ice - it has no ice cream on it. The wafer stick is hard and not good - stick-o is better. The brownies tastes really good, its not too sweet and its really nice. We thought that the cookie is a cream-o or an oreo but its not, its worst that a hi-oh cookie biscuit. The sherbet taste like Milo. But Mewtut said its bad and every time he take a scoop he complains how bad and how not worthy it is. I thought its ok but SnowBun is better.

Then we got this berry toast, I was so disappointed it doesn't look anything like the sample food display. It has no blueberries on it. The toast is not toasted, I thought it would be a waffle but its a pan like Gardenia.

This one got some berries, berry syrup, some glazing, almonds, icecream and this bread that has something inside -I cant figure out what's inside but its like a coco jam.

It taste ok, nothing i ever had before, its sweet and sour because of the berry-icecream compliment. Its satisfying.

So there, after eating we talked how good it is and decided to not to comeback in this place ever again :) but its just us. you should give it a try, you might have a different experience and enjoy it.

Easy Fried Shrimps - My 1st time cooking

8:02:00 PM

DewDew Story:

Mom is ranting on how her 1000 pesos disappeared in a minute! She said she bought this and that etc including shrimps. I got caught up with what she said and asked her where's the shrimp she said she's not cooking it today. And that's not ok because i wont get to eat it if she wont cook it today. Yup! I love shrimps! I super duper love it.

So i had an idea to cook shrimp for dinner. She said she wont cook it for me. I said ok i will cook it on my own but she must tell me how. And she told me to do this

1. Put breading on a bowl. The amount depends on how many will you use for the food. I do not recommend the brand I used. I really dont know if that's the best brand or what. I just used it since its the only available in the kitchen.

2. Put the flour and cornstarch on one bowl. Mixed it together. Again, the amount depends on how much you need.

3. Get the shrimp. You can leave it with skin and head or you can remove the skin if you want to make it easy to eat. I did not remove the head since my tatay likes it (not really, he just thought its a waste if it wont be eaten)

4. When the shrimp is ready, put it, deep it, roll it and cover it with the flour mixture first, then into the breading then set aside. On tv, I saw them put egg but mom said egg is optional. Since there's no egg available in our kitchen I did not use egg.

5. Now turn on the heat and put oil onto the pan. Let it be. Hahaha. Make sure to put a lot of oil because it should be a deep fry process. Now that the oil is boiling (not really, i didn't wait that much) place the shrimps and let it be.

6. She said i should just let them be. But i monitor and wait til they become orange. I saw it on tv when its orange it means it cook (i was wrong) so i turn it on the other side and wait

7. Then when you feel like its cooked remove it from the heat. Place it on a plate full of tissue to loosen the oil of the food. Let it dry

8. Charan! Ok that's it! Now i got my own fried shrimps!So proud of me! I cooked! Its my first time :)

My sisters were there waiting for it to get served then they taste it. And they say its not good. I laughed and said great! Now its all mine!

I got excited so i get a plate and rice (not hot) and sit on the table. I took 5 shrimps and left 5 for them in case they want it. I remove the head..and...it looks not okay.. I looks like its not cook. I didn't dare to try taste it. The meat is so soft and squishy. I dont know what to do.

I look for mom but she's not around. So i thought maybe i will try to cook it again and burn it a little to make sure its cook. I heated the pan and wait til the oil is really boiling. I put the 5 shrimp (yes, only my share) and deep it again on the oil. I let it be til its color brown. Then i took the other 5 pieces and place it on the boiling oil also. Then when i felt like its cooked i removed it and put on a plate with tissue to remove oil and dried it. Yosh! Done!

My mom came then she begun screaming and yelling at me blah blah blah. I just ignore her and proceed on the taste test. Now the heads automatically separated from the body maybe because its cooked. Then i taste it.. Its not bad but its not good its.. Tasteless hahaha there's no crispy texture so the breading is fake. It doesnt taste like shrimp. But its ok. I end up eating all of it because nobody wants to try them. Mom said maybe i did not put salt on it that's why its tasteless. And did not put egg that's why the breading is not good. I gave her a sharp deadly look. She never told me to put salt! And she said maybe its okay without the egg.

But anyway, lesson learned. I will just try again next time :) but will ask google on how to do it properly.

NOTE: do not follow my cooking procedure and ingredients
