Fast Food Fix

Categories UncategorizedLeave a Comment on Fast Food Fix

Lots of fast food joints are available in San Diego. Most of it are not exactly approved by Seff (hubby is fitness junkie period). From time to time he lets me experience a part of it.
The fast food industry here is quite diverse. I\’m happy for the variety so there\’s a lot to choose from (aside from my fave Subway sandwiches). I also noticed the humongous servings that they have! Which makes it sulit. Most of their drinks are refillable. A small or regular sized drink will do because you can refill it anytime. This is what I call  a well deserved cheat meal. 

1. El Pollo Loco

                                   

2. Chick – Fil – A – Specializes in chicken meals. I love them because they support the military. We got free breakfast from them!

                             

Chick Fil A Chick n Mini – Chicken in biscuit. Tastes good with their sauce ( I forgot the name)
Chicken, egg & cheese sunflower multigrain bagel for hubby.
   
3. Wendy\’s Old Fashioned Hamburgers – Even when I was in the PHL and SG, among the famous burger joints Wendy\’s has the best and juiciest burger in my opinion. Hubby told me that their meat are always fresh that\’s why he finds it expensive among the other burgers. 
I was thinking, how come Wendy\’s comes in a longer name/title. Hhhmmm…

I can\’t remember the name of this wrap. A healthy alternative from Wendy\’s aside from the salads.
Chili. Have to mix it with crushed crackers. It\’s delicious not too spicy.
4. Hotdog on a Stick 
I tried their cheese and its sinfully good.
The following are those that I wasn\’t able to photo because I was really hungry. 
6. Arby\’s

…known for slow roasted roast beef, turkey, and premium Angus beef sandwiches, sliced fresh every day. —-SOURCE

Roast Turkey and Swiss Wrap. Photo grabbed from their website.

7. Rubio\’s – First time I was here it was a Taco Tuesday. 
The Original Fish Taco
8. Stone Oven – Gourmet sandwiches and salads. 
Got this from their website.
I had their Santa Fe Hot Ham. Aside from the sandwich this includes a side item of your choice Gourmet salad, Caesar Salad, Pasta Salad, Potato Salad or Gourmet Potato Chips. So their serving are good for two people if they are diet conscious plus the drinks are refillable for sodas. 
If my brothers and sisters are here, they will surely love this food line-up.  
Till next my next foodie trip.

Pho "T" Cali – Clairemont Mesa

Categories Uncategorized2 Comments on Pho "T" Cali – Clairemont Mesa

My husband has taken me to his favorite dining places. One of these is the Vietnamese restaurant Pho \”T\” Cali in Clairemont Mesa.

I fell in love with the place because it\’s very clean. The staff are very courteous. When they see a customer come inside they quickly greet and accommodate them. Not to mention the staff smiles a lot.

My husband had his usual Beef noodle soup with all the greens. The servings are humongous! We were able to share the big bowl.

Ooops he that single strand right there.

My forever favorite, Fresh Spring Rolls! I had the beef filling for that day

They have the peanut sauce instead of the fish sauce ensemble when I was in Vietnam. 

They have a variety of dishes in the menu aside from the above mentioned. The restaurant is huge but they get full during lunch and dinner time so plan accordingly.

Around San Diego

I\’ve been here in Chula Vista for more than 2 months. If anybody asks me how\’s my stay, my quick reply \”Love the weather!\” Seriously the weather here is awesome! No wonder my husband is proud of himself for retiring here. It\’s fall season now. The sweater weather makes me excited of wearing jackets, boots and thermal tights.
Here\’s some snapshots of some of the places I\’ve been to. San Diego is huge! It may take me a lifetime. 
In National City there\’s Jolibee.  There are lots of Pinoys residing here. That\’s why Seafood City, Red Ribbon and point-point (turo-turo) joints are everywhere.

I just want to emphasize on what is going on the side. According to Seff, the ongoing construction is one of the governments efforts to decrease traffic due to increasing population.

There\’s one highway that they name Filipino-American Highway. I think it\’s near National City. But it\’s not this freeway.

The Iconic Rooftop of Hotel Del Rey in Coronado Island

Breaker\’s Beach. The quiet and secured part of the Coronado Beach inside the Naval Base.
Hikers and cyclists paradise. The mountain range near our home.

                               

Of course! How will I forget SHOPPING. I will post a separate entry for it. I\’m with my sister-in-law Ate Marilou. She accompanied me for some good old bargain hunting.
I\’m looking forward for more food trip, hiking and sight-seeing in San Diego. I\’m taking my time.
XOXO
