A new find: Bacon-wrapped Double Patty Cheesy Tofu Burger

One very good thing about travelling is that it allows us to explore and discover more about our world and  our life.  As we go from one place to another, we meet new people and make new friends.  We learn more about and appreciate more the people whom we usually travel with.  We hear stories behind old  buildings and odd things, and we get to understand the likes ad dislikes of certain people of different culture . The most exciting of all, we get to savor new flavors in our palates that slowly make us a connoisseur of good food and drinks.

In our recently concluded  WAFP Funlakwatsa in Pampanga, I decided to reward myself with something scramptious and delectable after a long and tiring day.  As I browsed over the menu card of a restaurant owned and managed by a gWAFPo, Kurtz Ortiz,   a very attractive photo of a cheezy beef burger caught my attention.  Of course, burgers are usually considered as comfort food or fast food but Whythaus |Grill in Angeles Pampanga has a way of making this ordinary  beef burger into something exquisite and exciting.

Look at the picture of this |Bacon-wrapped Double Patty Cheesy Tofu Burger, the first of its kind in the whole country ( as claimed by Kurtz ).

 Instead of the beef burger and bacon sandwiched in a pair of bread,  these fillings were all sandwiched in a perfectly fried tofu ~ crispy on the outside but soft and creamy on the inside.  Unlike with the other tofu bought from the wet market, it was so fresh and no sourly aftertaste.  Whythaus Grill must have been blessed to be proximate to a tofu factory, hence the abundance of a daily supply of fresh tofu.  Not to mention, of course, the bacon which was excellently fried (it's oh so crispylicious) and the double beef patty which was  so tender and juicy.  The melted cheese all over the sandwich coupled with the fresh and crunchy greens made it extremely appetizing!

With a bottle of ice-cold apple-flavored San Mig Light, I ate my Bacon-wrapped Double Patty Cheesy Tofu Burger with much gusto.  With fancy cut fried potato wedges on the side,  my meal was indeed gastronomically satiating and  heavenly!

Since I love tofu, I have enjoyed Whythaus Grill's  Tokwa't Baboy before with its specially concocted sauce.

 Next time, I want to try another tofu recipe from them.  What would it be?

I love coffee . . . scrub and soap!

I love coffee!

For sure, this statement will cause the raising of the eyebrows of those people closest to my heart.  They know pretty well that I do not drink coffee except on a blue or a bloody red moon when I have to order a venti glass of ice-cold coffee jelly from Starbucks with my beautiful sister Eunice.  But like all coffee lovers and fanatics, I so love the addicting aroma of the ground coffee, much more when it is being brewed.  I would admit that I am always tempted to take a sip even if it takes an antacid to counteract my stomach acidity.

Recently, I found another good reason to love coffee!  As we capped our tiring day with a heartwarming dinner from Whythaus Grill in Angeles City, Kurtz Ortiz, the resto owner and manager handed each one of us a sampler of his two latest coffee by-products ~ the coffee scrub and the coffee scrub soap.  After saying "Thank You", I simply kept those items inside my bag.  I am a hypersensitive person when it comes to allergens and am quite very careful in using cleansing soaps, cosmetics, and various beauty products which may cause skin allergy/asthma.

At home and very sleepy, I took out the freebies from my bag and opened it.  The coffee scrub smells so good.  The sweet scent of the cinnamon concocted with the ground coffee, virgin coconut and olive oils tempted me to try it. With a pinch of moistened coffee granules, I rubbed it gently all over my face, my neck up to the nape.  I left it there for a few minutes as I generously scrubbed my whole body with the almost scentless coffee scrub soap.

After a day of exposing myself to dirt and oil, I never felt so clean and refreshed after  exfoliating with the coffee scrub and coffee scrub soap from Kurtz.  My skin felt smoother and looked more radiant than it did just before.  I also felt that all my pores were cleared with all the dirt and oils accumulated during the day and I was left with a cleaner skin ready for my night ahead.

Do I look more beautiful now?  Arguably, yes and no for beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder. But definitely, with my newer and fresher skin cells left at the top, I FEEL REJUVENATED AND BEAUTIFUL.  Nobody could ever question that feeling and that beautiful feeling is all that matters to me!

As of this writing, I am not very sure if the said products are already out in the market.  But I am one sure client of Kurtz' MY ESSENTIALS coffee scrub and coffee scrub soap and I am very excited to make them an essential part of  my body care must haves to keep a healthy and moisturized skin.

Wouldn't  you dare to try them, too?

As soon as these products are out in the market, I'll let you know.

Thank you for visiting my site.  Good day everyone and see you again, soon!
