How to Spot the Perfect Affordable Home

Everybody dreams of their own home and if you're just starting a family or just buying one, you must know how to choose the best one especially with the tons of properties out there that offer tons of stuff which you don't even need. The essentials should be covered, but if you are given more than what you expect to be there, wouldn't that be amazing? This is why you have to spot a good deal, especially when you are going to spend years living in it. What do you look for?

It should be affordable and be of superior quality. Some real estate companies have really good deals like BRIA Homes which you can get as low as Php 1,897 a month. It doesn't need to be just a cement box, it should be stylish and modern with enough space to roam around and be inside a good community. It takes a village to raise a family and they've done that in several places in the Philippines and tons of families would attest to it. Nobody ever got happiness with debt on their banking records, it's a tough world.

Your home should also be in a perfect location. It shouldn't be in a though spot to get to the hospital, school or church. When I said essential earlier, it comes with that and it shouldn't be negotiable. You have to be in a place where you could thrive, where you could grow and if life permits, a little fun in shopping, entertainment and really that wouldn't hurt right?

It should be secure too. A community that doesn't have CCTV would be unimanigable in this day and age. That and a gated spot would deter and limit crime. We don't want anything bad to happen with our loved ones, nor to us too.

You think it's not possible but BRIA already has that inside their community. The only thing you should do is check it out, pay for it and live in it. That should be easy, nothing overboard, and should be easy to spot when it's already there.

Surely, you would want to live here.

Good Stuff at Rong Hua Bak Kut Teh

I had a hard time finding this place, that I actually got lost and walked frantic looking for it. Like a gem that you have to work for hours, this Singapore based restaurant has opened their first branch in the Philippines. This is Rong Hua Bak Kut Teh which has been franchised in the Philippines by Silver Lush Food Corporation, a company involved in bringing in international food brands in the country. 

Bak Kut Teh literally means Meat Bone Tea which would reprise much of the ingredients of this pork ribs soup. This is founded by Chua Ah Hua and Rong hence the name. I have officially designated a new pin here on Google Maps but if you can't find that, try the Teleperformance McKinley West because it just sits on the middle part of the two buildings. (Don't go to the Asiatown marker in Upper McKinley because that's where I got lost).

You can also choose Madrone in McKinley West because it just sits in front of the Rong Hua Bak Kut Teh Restaurant. It's also pretty outside so take lots of photos!

We went inside and sat down, it could accommodate around 40-50 people if I'm not mistaken. It's still new so it doesn't smell like a chinese tea house of sorts, just usual new furnished shop.

We were served the Cua Pao first, which had smooth nice fatty slices of pork, tidied up in a steamed white bun and lettuce. They have a dipping sauce with this which was more like honey. I liked it a lot.

The secret of Bah Kut Teh is the broth, this was made for hours together with cinnamon barks, star anise, cloves, fennel seeds, coriander, pork bones and Sarawak White Pepper which made it a little spicy. I guess it's why Singaporean favors this as their comfort food because it's homey, a thing that you could curl up with on a rainy day.

The Bah Kut Teh was soft and had nothing fancy, it was a good thing we had a bowl of rice nearby. Honestly I thought it was going to be overwhelming but no, it's not too oily and not too murky, it was light and had a small spicy kick from the peppers I mentioned earlier.

This is the tofu skin which had ground pork inside. I love this with anything, just order this before the Bah Kut Teh so you don't have to eat too much later on in the show lol

I don't eat chicken feet so I passed on this one but look at it, it's a good version of those things you get in chinatown

Tried this Sliced Smoked Duck if you want something nice on top of white rice, I had a few of these. The roasted thing outside makes it sweet and very savory. Check blood pressure at home lol

I love tofu so much that I had a few servings of this together with the savory ground pork on top and the soy based gravy.

To end the meal, they got us this really mean Panacotta which had Avocado I think, or maybe pandan hints too. It was good until someone ate it in less than 2 minutes.

If you're raring to have a taste of authentic Bah Kut Teh in Manila, this is the place you can get it. There are other items in the menu which you can also try like the throng of seafood (I'm allergic) that they have like Abalone, pig innards soup, even fried chicken, just make sure you get a drink which you could perfectly pair with it. A glass of ice cold Coke would do.

You can check out Rong Hua Bah Kut Teh on IG @RongHuaPH for all the food you might want to see. It's waiting for you, try this legit restaurant now!

PROMATE at the Villman Gadget Sale 2019

This morning was good as I got to visit the Villman Gadget Sale at SM North Edsa Annex's 4th Floor. The events center was filled to the brim of brands that Villman handles so it was a lot of laptops, routers, mobile phones and just about everything you could imagine especially the accessories.

PROMATE has got this promo where you can roll the dice and win even more prizes after you purchase 300 pesos worth of items in their kiosk

I love the headphones, good for music junkies

For those upgrading their TV's, an essential thing is this HDMI cable so you can watch HD videos for hours

They also have tons of powerbanks in different capacities, try to find the one with cables on it because it is very convenient. I prefer the lightest one though because I already have cables of my own.

Other brands like Linksys were also present so make sure you get the deals right here at SM North Edsa

They will only be here for 3 days so if I were you, I'd drop by and see what I could get for less the price. I'm also a little bias with PROMATE because their previous ones still work for me. :)

It lasts. You should know.
