The "BurgerFuel" Experience

What a name!

What an awesome fast food chain! It really fuels one's desire to come and try their mouth-watering burger delights.

How annoying it was to see four easy-go-lucky guys  last night whose primary purpose was to check-out gym outlet yet ended inside a fancy-built and presumably one of the best servers of burger in town. Too bad there's none of it in Pinas.

Our not-so-hungry stomachs led us to one of its store -outlet in Carre-Four, Dammam. 

I'm speaking of the BURGER FUEL. This dominantly purple, highly decorated yet not-so-over-top fast food chain boasts of its cool ambiance and the awesome burger experience.

Burger Fuel originated in New Zealand and is labeled as the original gourmet burger.  And here's the short story about how it was formed.

Baskin Robbins: Your Neighborhood Ice Cream

Ice Cream!

I mean really?! Since when did I so crave to eat this junkie- I guess none that I remember. I don't buy it kasi di ako mahilig talaga. It's not that I completely do not eat it but I just don't go for sweet foodies.

Ang Pagiging Makata Ko

Kalaliman na ng gabi. Medyo inaantok-antok na rin ako. Bumibigat na ang pakiramdam ko sa dalawang bolang nagsisilbing tagasilip ng liwanag ng mundo.

Binisita ko uli ang mga panulat ni Gasoline Dude at napadaan akong muli sa kanyang entry tungkol sa mga nanalo. Scroll up! scroll down ang banat ko hanggang mapagawi ako sa nagkamit ng unang gantimpala. 

One Steaky Night

I claim I have a talent in cooking - a raw one but trainable, unrehearsed yet willing to be exposed in the kitchen. 

Soon I know I'll walk down the road of the lucrative world of culinary arts and have my degree from it. It's not too late though for talent doesn't choose an age.

I can cook and I know I have this gastro intelligence in me. Well, chicken cordon bleu is one fave recipe which excites me every time I prepare one. There were considerable numbers of Filipino recipes which I'm at par in cooking. Oh boy! I won't elaborate it here. Name it and I'll cook it for you...hahaha.

But being a neophyte food blogger is way far from the alleys of those professional ones, those whose living depends on it. My blog does not mainly focus on it. Food and resto reviews comes only when we dine outside our kitchen-court advantage at home (lutong bahay).

I feel the enthusiasm to test my raw talent in writing a food review with a resto I would say, is one that is at par with the rest of the best fine dining restos anywhere. Raising the bar a notch higher, I'm talking about STEAK HOUSE. 

Yes, it's spelled STEAK HOUSE! And this entry will evolve all about this fancy restaurant in a not-so-highly sophisticated city of Dammam.

Krispy Kreme - Krispi Na! Kreme Pa!

I'm not really into sweets! o kung sa sariling wika ko isasalin ay ganito lang naman yon: "di ako mahilig sa mga matatamis na pagkain".

Cakes, pastries, candies, tarts, and doughnuts - Oh boy! don't gift me with those or else your effort will just be wasted and disappointment would just slaps you right in your face. So, never ever give me one.

Three Books In A Cool Tuesday Night

Accidental purchase -- maybe or maybe not?

Perhaps what triggered me to have these books is basically my intense desire to read it. As a book lover, reading books for me is like smoking a weed - speaking of that restricted weed or so called "pot". It is so addicting that removing that habit is so extremely difficult for me that it could not complete a day or a month not having it in anyway. It's like it should be in a place where it can easily be sighted, one of which should be beside me when I sleep at night.

FOR THE LOVE OF "Starbucks Mugs"

She has a collection.

She marveled at the sight of it inside their house.

And so I am granting again another wish or shall I say humble request from her.

In one of our chat conversation through Facebook and before we flew in back in the Mid East, these were her wishes and humble requests.

“Jay, don’t forget my mugs from the Mid-East ha!, don’t have any of them yet, plus, the “ref magnet” pahabol at nakangiti niyang sabi. 

Who would resist granting these requests if the favor comes from someone as sweet and bubbly as my good friend Kay? I bet no one would especially if the request comes from her tender voice and disarming smile. Naks, disarming talaga..hahaha!

Business Meeting = (Meeting + Buffet Eating)

As agreed, the meeting was rescheduled at lunch time as against the should be 8pm dinner time. The reason for the change was that by 8pm today I'll be travelling to Al Ahsa to be with my wife and I can't sacrifice that. Good thing my work colleague Abdullah successfully negotiated the said time change.

"By the way, just to orient you with my job, I work in the Purchasing Department of our company. As someone who works as a purchaser, part of my job is to source out, seek out, and search out different manufacturing and trading companies all around the world to look and hunt for the suppliers with the best and most competitive prices of products we are dealing with. Along with the task, occasionally we meet different business people through attending business expositions & exhibits. Moreover, meeting out with them & discussing business opportunities through luncheon or dinner meeting."

Joining The Meme Hype

Recently, the DOT launched its tourism campaign for this year. Everyone's going ga-ga about it to the point of harvesting different reactions nationwide and even the world. While lots are happy there were others whom were so cynical about the idea.

The First Leaf of 2012

Wow! Amazing things has took place in my life for the past year. Indeed, 2011 has been so good to me, though, there were occasional upsets and setbacks, but nothing can beat the good things that had occurred in me.

It's too many to run down, but I'll just give you a generalization of those wonderful things
