Papa John's Pizza - now open in BF Homes Paranaque

Gerard and I are really into trying out new burger joints, pizza parlors etc. So when we saw that Papa John’s Pizza recently opened a branch along President’s Avenue in BF Homes, we decided to head over this restaurant. After all, Gerard said that he heard good things about this place. Actually, this popular pizza joint was started by John “Papa John” Schnatter in Jefferson, Indiana.

Just like most other restaurants in BF, parking was very limited, which can make it quite challenging for diners. But since we have observed that the place is jam-packed during lunch, we opted to try it out on a Sunday night. Good thing, we were able to get a parking space right in front of the restaurant.

The atmosphere is vibrant as the restaurant has a very cheerful and bright interior. The dark colored, cushioned-leather seats and tables gives a sharp contrast to the maroon-colored walls. Instead of the usual paintings and photographs that you would see in most pizza joints, there are wooden pizza shovels that were painted with different designs on one side of the restaurant.

The menu at Papa John’s is very much what you would expect from any pizza joint. It has a respectable selection of classic and specialty pizzas which comes in various sizes.  They also serve a selection of pasta dishes, appetizers and salads. They also have a few rice dishes to satisfy the Filipino palate.

Gerard wanted to order the Baked Italian Meatballs (P140) because it looks so appetizing – Here’s the actual description in the menu: Succulent beef balls prepared with special herbs and spices. Covered and baked in our delicious Pizza sauce and cheese. A melt-in-your-mouth experience…

But then he came across of the Pasta Bolognaise with meatballs (P195). So we think that we will have the best of both worlds… pasta and meatballs… Unfortunately, the waiter said that they ran out of meatballs. Sad. L


Sorry, I almost forgot to take a picture...

So, he just ordered the normal Pasta Bolognaise (180). It has a choice of spaghetti or penne pasta. The serving is quite small… just perfect for one person with a relatively small appetite. Taste was okay.

As for me, since I was not that hungry, I just ordered Cream of Chicken and Corn soup (P49) and a Jr. Papa Chicken BBQ pizza (P150). Soup was also okay considering that it is only cheap… nothing fancy.

For the pizza, it was topped with tender grilled chicken and bacon bits. Since I ordered the Jr. Pizza, the size was cute and perfect for a cheap snack. The BBQ sauce was somewhat sweet and I like it… I think they are true to their slogan – better ingredients, better pizza.  The crust was bubbly and nicely browned.

I also like the idea that they serve the pizza with a garlic butter dip. I think the garlic butter dip is a smart move so you can dip the pizza crust after you've eaten the rest (I know most people tend to ignore that part).

Service was pretty quick and we had our pizza in minutes, thanks to the metal oven conveyor that they used in their kitchen. But of course, as most pizza joints, allot around 15 minutes waiting time for the pizza since they just prepare it upon receiving the order. This ensures the freshness of the crust and ingredients which makes for a delicious pizza!
In general, we became happy and satisfied with the food, service and the whole restaurant. It is a good place to hang out with friends and family.
Will we come back at Papa John’s? You bet we will! J

Pan-fried Dory with Lemon Butter Sauce

Image
Here's another recipe of my lovey hubby Gerard. I’m so sorry but we don't have the exact measurements of the ingredients. What you need: Cream Dory fish or any white fish fillet Salt Pepper Magic Sarap Dried basil leaves Flour Lemon juice or calamansi juice Butter Olive Oil Fresh parsley for garnishing What to do:   Make sure your fish fillet is thawed (if using frozen) and the skin surface is dry. You can use a paper towel to dab the fish. Season fish with salt, pepper, magic sarap and dried basil. Note: we used freshly cracked sea salt* and pepper because we think that it gives more flavor. But I guess, normal salt and pepper will do. Magic sarap and dried basil will give an extra flavor and a hint of herb taste. Then brush the seasoned fish with flour. Make sure to put just enough flour. Brush off the excess. In a frying pan, melt the butter together with the olive oil in medium heat. Once brown, fry the fish fillet for 1-2 minutes each ...

Changing Center of Gravity and My Unexpected Visit to Asian Hospital

Image
Changing center of gravity: The first reason you may be stumbling is obvious—you're getting bigger. As your belly grows outward, your whole center of gravity is thrown. After walking perfectly for years, your body now has to constantly realign itself to keep you upright—no wonder you're tripping. It may seem that this new life inside you has taken over your brain. Be assured, this is not the case. As your belly begins to expand and your baby grows, your center of gravity will begin to shift. While you are pregnant you may notice your balance is a little off, increasing your risk of tripping or mis-stepping. Though your baby-to-be is well cushioned in your belly, falling wouldn’t be good for either of you. You will want to start being more careful when moving about. Here are a few tips: Try not to carry things around with you that if dropped, could harm yourself. Use the handrails when going up or down stairs. Do not wear high heeled shoes, but instead, comfortable shoes tha...

My labor story

Image
I know my due date is already near that is why we have been preparing for the big event. We prepared her room already. I have made the necessary arrangements at work. I already got the approval to work from home from December 17 onwards or until I give birth. After all my due date is still on the 31 st . I have drafted my birth plan and just for final approval from my OB. There are just some more things to pack in the diaper bag and our own hospital bag. Bottomline, to some extent, we were ready. Though, at the back of my mind, I really want to give birth on December 18. If you ask me why on the 18 th simply because it is my favorite number. But God has really prepared a plan for each one of us. It may not be the same as our plan, but definitely it is the BEST. On my 37 th week, in the early morning of December 12, 2011, I felt something weird inside. It was like a ‘twitch’ in my side. I got up and went to our bathroom. I saw blood in my pee. At that instant, I realized ...
