Red Bean Bun + Vanilla Ice Cream

A match made in heaven! Being from Toronto and all, I've had my fair share of wickedass red bean buns. Bigup all the Chinese bakeries in Scarbs, btw. But today, after I decided to try the Red Bean Bun from Breadtop Bakery here in Melbourne, a lightbulb went off over my head... why the hellz not eat it with vanilla ice cream? The bun wasn't off the hizzy... but cold, classic vanilla ice ice baby + red bean bliss = KILLER COMBO.

Naturegg Omega 3 Hard Boiled Eggs

Don't mind my monotone-y disheveled-ness. It's just that simultaneously, I felt greasy, sleepy, lazy AND hungry in this vid. And it was still a 2-hour hike until we reached the end of our journey! Gotta ♥ backcountry camping. Hmph, I hate admitting I buy these eggs since I usually boil+peel my own eggs at home. But on-the-go and/or in a crunch for time, they're just so damn convenient. And they're somethin' like a dollar from grocery stores like Sobey's and Metro. Overlooking Little Salmon Lake in Frontenac Provincial Park, here I am eggin' it up. Get eggy!

[shnacks] pandesal + portobello + provolone

This was but one of the many snacks I had today. Sick of eating my pandesal (a sweet, airy bread eaten by many Filipinos) with butter or cream cheese all the darn time, suddenly, I was inspired. Here's what happened:

—One pandesal was toasted in the mini-oven until browned and crispy.
—Thick slices of portobello mushrooms were sautéed in a wad of butter.
—The pandesal was taken out of the toaster and sliced open.
—A slice of Santa Lucia sweet provolone was placed inside the pandesal.
—Portobello slices were slipped inside the sandwich and the concoction was pressed down.
—All 3 ingredients squished together and the cheese softened, melting all oo-ily and goo-ily.
—Gobbling gobbled gone.

Three seconds after biting into this sandwich-y conction, I started to enjoy it. Something about the juicy, aldente portobello mushrooms sandwiched between warm, sweet pandesal and sweet provolone made me happy about life. Please note: any kind of bread would suffice for this snack idea, but if you haven't tried pandesal, now's the time folks! The airiest and most authentic-tasting pandesal in the GTA can be found at Baker's Best Bakery.

[shnacks] Mr. Smugface :| Sandwich

This fantab foodie idea was conceived by my dear cousin, the lovely Lisa. Toast 2 slices of your favourite bread. I like Mr. Smugface on Pita Break's Multigrain Sandwich Buns. Then, smear slabby slices of ripe avocado on one piece of toast, and scoop spoonfuls of Clover Leaf's Spicy Thai Chili Tuna onto the other piece of toast. Prepare to experience heavenly creaminess, zestiness, crispness & heartiness. Yaow-za!
