Maginhawa St. Gastronomic Walk #9: Theo's Baked + Brewed

Last Friday being a holiday (Eid al-Fitr, the end of Ramadhan), presented to me a fine opportunity to go on yet another food trip down my favorite eat street - Maginhawa in Quezon City. I tagged along my daughter and went to one of the newer places there - Theo's Baked + Brewed. As it was a holiday, I thought it was a good day to find empty places and the best seats but alas, Maginhawa was teeming with students chilling with friends on a no-school day! Fortunately, we came at the right time and not had to wait long for a table at Theo's. Inside, it's a charming place that has a little bit of country and a little bit of modern, chic style. It is small, though (the ground level, at least, 'coz there's a second level which I didn't get to see), and be prepared to squeeze and huddle if you plan to go in a group. 

Anyway, we ordered: 

Chicken Pockets, P155. There's two pieces of fried drumsticks stuffed with ham and cheese and bathed in a creamy sauce. This was sooo good! Served with rice and
buttered corn and carrots 

Al Pesto, P130. Fettucini with pesto sauce. Served with half a piece of wheat bread. 
This was my daughter's order which she liked, too. I also loved the tang of real and fresh basil combined with the saltiness of parmesan cheese.

Cookie Shots, P65. Pour milk on the edible cup made with cookie
that's lined inside with chocolate. Drink the milk, eat the cup! Fun to try and yummy too!

Real berries, P110. This is a healthy smoothie made from mixed fresh berries. Delicious!.

Mocha Frappuccino, P115.  Coffee-based. Yummy too!

Blueberry Cheesecake. We didn't order this, though. I only took a shot of this at the counter while I ordered the Cookie Shots after our meal.

Theo's Baked + Brewed at 106-C Maginhawa St., Diliman, Quezon City

We loved everything we had at Theo's, that's for sure, and was I happy for my new discovery! Nice place, good food, friendly service, affordable prices. What more could I want? Well, a bigger place, maybe, and a lengthier menu 'coz they only have quite a few choices.
Try Theo's Baked + Brewed, folks! Happy eating! 

Today's Word: 1 Peter 2:24

Sickness is inevitable, especially with the kind of weather that we have nowadays. It's so easy to catch a cold or flu after getting wet in the rain or going through a crowd. As a woman who's fast approaching 50s, I get aches and pains every now and then aside from the occasional colds and cough. Sometimes, I get worried, thinking about what could be ailing me. But God has been good, not only to me but also my children. He is our Jehovah Rapha, the great Healer! He has answered all of our prayers for healing. Sometimes, healing is instant, 

sometimes, it takes some time. 

Are you suffering from a disease today? Ask God for healing because He does restore good health. Remember that when He suffered and gave His life on the cross, Jesus not 

only gave us eternal life, He also gave us victory over sickness. 

By His stripes, we have been healed! All glory to Him! So fear no more, 

and trust in Jesus for better health and strength.

God bless you today.

KFC's 'Chizza' is one bright idea!

Fusion food. The best of both worlds. Hitting two birds with one stone. Whatever you'd want to call it, I just think KFC's "Chizza" is one bright idea. Doubles the yum, doubles the fun! Well, that is if you love fried chicken and are nuts for pizza, too! I don't know when KFC came up with Chizza but it got my attention only last week and I wasted no time trying it. Me and three of my kids had the perfect reason to eat out for lunch last Saturday - our "ulam" of "ginisang munggo" got spoiled. 
Haha! So off we went to the nearest KFC where I had this Chizza 
while the kids still went for fried chicken and rice plus the sidings.

Chizza. Ala cart is around P120.

Mashed potato and coleslaw 

Bucket of fries 

Mushroom soup

Pecan pie. Goes well with brewed coffee! 

Strawberry Lush Krushers

My family has always loved KFC for their delicious fried chicken and I thought Chizza, with the usual pizza toppings that we love - pepperoni, pineapple, bell pepper bits and cheese - added a brand new way to enjoy it. The creamed mushroom soup, by the way, has been my favorite, too at KFC and a must-order whenever I visit. I also got to try and like one of their new offers, the pecan pie. It's quite small but just right for me coz I don't want to be eating a lot of sweets. It was a perfect pairing for my brewed coffee, which I'm so glad to have become part of KFC's all-day menu. 

Well, thanks to KFC, I didn't fret over spoilt "ginisang munggo". Haha!.
