DAY ONE Giveaway: Gift Certificates at Pho Hoa + My Thai Kitchen (2 Winners)


As I have promised, before the end of my birthday month, I shall begin the gift giveaway 🙂 My gift giveaway will start out with prizes for local (Philippine residents) readers, and will gradually come to encompass international readers. *I am sooooo excited to share what prizes are, but I think I have to keep mum til the day of the contest* 🙂
 
UP FOR GRABS TODAY: Php 2,500 worth of Gift Certificates for Pho Hoa,

and for the 2nd winner,  Php 2,500 worth of Gift Certificates for My Thai Kitchen.

There will be  TWO WINNERS for today’s contest 🙂 This particular contest is only open to those who currently reside in the Philippines and have access to either Pho Hoa or My Thai Kitchen 🙂

Pho Hoa is a perennial favorite restaurant of mine, it’s my default go-to restaurant when I want noodles in soup.  I grew up loving steaming hot soup and noodles in soup, so when I first had my taste of Vietnamese pho in the latter years of my secondary school life over summer in San Francisco, I knew it will always be a favorite.

I’ve tried plenty other Vietnamese noodle places in Manila, so I know very well that Pho Hoa is the best around town. 
 No other Vietnamese pho place would ever top it in my book. I eat at Pho Hoa at least 5x a month without fail. And I never forget what I order– Noodle Soup #38 (with Flank, Tendon, and Meatballs). 
My children love eating at Pho Hoa because of their Caramelized Chicken Drumettes. I on the other hand, would not only order Noodle Soup #38, but would also go for the Fried Rice Paper Roll with the Lettuce Wrap. If I am reaaaaalllly hungry, I will order an extra dish of Fried Squid with Green Onions and Chili. (Yessss,  I can finish them all on my own!)
On days I do yoga, I only order the Pomelo Shrimp Salad for take out. What a way to diet, eh 🙂 At least I love what I eat. One misconception about going “healthy” with the food choice is, picking the least tasty food (which meant going saltless). But not me. Even “healthy” food has to taste good. 
 
My Thai Kitchen is a fairly new restaurant also by the Pho Hoa Group, and they serve the best and most affordable Thai dishes in town. Their restaurants have a casual, for-the-family vibe, and is very popular among diners who frequent malls. When I get the chance to swing by My Thai Kitchen (I prefer the Mc Kinley Hill Piazza branch because both Pho Hoa and My Thai Kitchen are in the same place– best of both worlds!), I never fail to order the Tom Yum Soup (I love sour soup too, by the way!) and of course, have endless orders of Thai Iced Tea 🙂 

Pho Hoa and/ or My Thai Kitchen branches include Mc Kinley Hill Piazza *02-4212049*,  Greenbelt 1 *02-8135809*, VMall at Greenhills *02-7260236*,  Paseo Center *02-8125234*, Alabang Town Center *02-7723894, SM Mall of Asia *02-5560636*, SM Megamall B *02-6830167*, Robinson’s Galleria *02-6345323*, Eastwood City Libis *02-4212047*, Wilson Street Greenhills *02-7264066*, Toledo Bldg Tomas Morato *02-4126389*,  Edsa Shangrila Mall *02-6338481*, Trinoma Mall *02-9166635*, Robinson’s Place Ermita *02-567-2126*, SM City Manila, SM City Fairview, SM City North Edsa, Robinson’s Otis, Centris,  and many more branches (wow that’s a LOT of branches, yeah?)
Now here’s the QUESTION for TWO WINNERS:

What is your latest bag purchase? Or if you haven’t purchased yet, what bag are you lusting for at the moment? I’d appreciate the name of the brand, or if there’s no brand, a description of the bag– the color, style 🙂 
There is no wrong answer here, but hey, I love details, so do share!! You know how I love hearing about my readers’ latest bag “conquests”/ “lust- fors” 🙂  Please leave your NAME  *no need for last name* and make sure you “sign in” to my comments page with your VALID email address/ contact info.

I will have no access to who wins until I publish all your comments. ONLY ONE ANSWER PER READER, PLEASE 🙂
GOOD LUCK, EVERYONE !!!!! 🙂
P.S. You might have noticed my blog’s new “look” which resulted in the loss of my comments page earlier 🙁 Soooo sorry about that! I have reduced the “winning numbers” because of the screw-up. I’ll make up for this tomorrow and allow for more entries. This is what happens when I get bored in the middle of the night (caffeine overload yesterday!)- I experimented with the blog’s look and I lost comment settings and didn’t even know it until a few minutes ago! My bad!! Sorry again! Good luck, peeps!!  -7.45am
