Yellow Cab's Mrs. Hudson's Pizza

Yellow Cab’s 

Mrs Hudson Pizza

No protests are heard, no second thoughts.

Everybody in my family agrees whenever

we decide to eat in Yellow Cab-

everybody’s favorite pizza restaurant.

So when everyone chorused that there’s

a vacant parking space in Yellow Cab-

it’s everyone’s way of saying let’s dine there.

There is actually one very good reason

why we wanted to return to Yellow Cab-

…that is to try their new 
Mrs. Hudson’s Pizza.

Inspired by New York’s historic Hudson River

and named after Sherlock Holme’s landlady,

…this new pizza by Yellow Cab brings the classic

Italian American flavors and dubbed as a pizza

without a sauce but bursting with the flavor

of herbs, proscuitto and boursin cheese.

It also has a medley of toppings made of

fresh tomatoes, onions, tarragon, bacon

and a combination of premium cheeses.

We still ordered our all time favorites

like the Bacon Mango Folded Pizza

with bacon and mango of course, a blend

of premium cheese and scrambled eggs.

Juicy Galapeno Chicken Wings,

Creamy Chicken Alfredo Pasta garnished

with sautéed chicken strips and black olives

Savory Baked Potato Wedges

served with fat free garlic dip.

My son wanted a full rice meal

so we ordered one for him

at the nearby Bigg’s Diner.

Good thing with Yellow Cab

they deliver

 their best tasting pizza-  24/7

Isn't it time to call a 

(Yellow ) Cab now?

Naga City’s Flores de Mayo at Penafrancia de Mayo

Naga City’s Flores de Mayo

Horrible Sounding 'Sta. Cruzan' Characters
at Penafrancia de Mayo

We were dining at Yellow Cab

in Magsaysay Avenue on a Saturday Night

after attending an anticipated mass,

 

-when there was a sudden commotion in the street.

We later found out that there was a Flores de Mayo

passing by as a part of the Penafrancia de Mayo festivities.

 

Flores de Mayo is a colorful Filipino tradition

held in may cities and towns during the month of May,

 

Depicting the search and finding of the Holy Cross

by Queen Helena, mother of Constantine the great.

 

She is called the Reyna Elena by the Filipinos

and appears at the tail end of the procession.

 

  
In between were various queens and princesses

representing whatever the organizers may think of

according to their whims and caprices.

It used to be an honor for young ladies

to get invited to join
 the Flores de Mayo procession, 

I had an older sister who had been asked
to become a hilarious sounding Reyna Banderada 
when we were kids and she paraded wearing a gown 
bearing the colors of the Philippine flag-
and she is still getting nightmares until now
for that horrible experience despite the fact 
that she did not spend anything then and the gown
was rented for her by the Hermana Mayor.




…but lately, choosing the Flores de Mayo queens

are being done by bidding and whoever gets to

pay the most cash to the organizers-

gets to be the Reyna Elena…

… the lowest bidder gets to become

the weird sounding Reyna Templaza-

…or the uncanny title of

Reyna Fortaleza…

-or even the bizarre sounding

Reyna Prudencia.

I wonder why these young ladies wound want 

to be called by these outlandish sounding titles 

aside from their pretty real names.

It’s funny that some of the Flores de Mayo

partcipants were somewhat acting unqueenly

like texting on their phones or even

talking with the people around them.

 

In Naga City, the end of the procession

comes the most beautiful Queen of them all-

….the Lady of Penafrancia.

I wonder why she should still be paraded

with strange characters that ruin the solemnity

of the otherwise beautiful May procession.

NB: This post is a satirical social commentary so
I blotted out the names and faces of the
'sagala' participants as they are not one way or another
being critized by the author. They just happened
to be participants during the event.

KFC Original Fried Chicken Finger Lickin’ Good No More

KFC Original Fried Chicken

Finger Lickin’ Good No More

But Is There Anything Better?

I remember in the mid 1990’s when KFC opened in Naga Centro, 
(which later moved to SM City Naga in 2009)

They would always ask us for rice or roll to go  with their 
yummy, finger lickin’ goodoriginal KFC fried chicken.

We would always find the question unnecessary since  eating them by hands 
with the tasty  roll was the only way  to enjoy  the KFC Original Fried Chicken. 



And just like the majority of Filipino dinerswe would always 

choose ROLL (of course). Who would want to eat KFC Fried
 Chicken  with rice?It's like eating  Adobo with rolls, silly.



You can lick your fingers later to savor the eleven secret spices  
 used  to marinate their most sought after fried chicken.



In what I consider a major marketing blunder of KFC  
 in the Philippines, they took the roll out of their menu.



KFC Fried Chicken does not go well with rice-

and the poor Filipinos are left with no choice

but to eat the chicken with spoon and fork.

 

So it was goodbye to the finger lickin’ goodness -

as no one would want to look like a puppy

licking the spoon and the fork clean after eating.

Now the good thing is- they finally came out

with great chicken sandwiches like

the Zinger- hot and crispy chicken fillet

served between firm and tasty buns-

 

…and the Double Decker Sandwich,

made up of two slabs of Original Chicken

also served  sandwiched between tasty buns.

Taken together with their mushroom soup-

…KFC is still finger lickin’ good after all.

Who needs a spoon and a fork?

Bring the Rolls Back!
