One of the ways to win these gorgeous diaper bags from ManilaBaby is by reposting their blog about their great diaper bag giveaway! So here, I'm reposting the full blog content, because I really need to increase my chances of winning in this superb ManilaBaby Shop Diaper Bag Giveaway Promo!

Hi everyone! August is shaping up to be a giveaway month not just for manilamommy.com but for all the manila family blogs- ManilaReviews, ManilaFitness, ManilaShopaholic and ManilaBlogs! Please try and visit all of our sites when you have time (thanks in advance!)

Anyway, as  I was saying it’s….

Let me kick off the giveaway month by giving away a Froot Loops diaper and travel bag and a LifeSavers bag from our very own ManilaBaby Shop! The promo period will start today, Aug. 9, 2010 up to Aug. 27, 2010.

The LifeSavers is a super light weight, canvas bag which we use to bring DW’s stuff for overnight trips. This  bag has also been used as a laptop bag and can also be used as a school bag for school-aged kids!

Chicken All You Can at Max's

This is my first time to try Max's anniversary promo. My food buddy Mae and I went to Max's Restaurant in Sucat to have an eat all you chicken experience. Unfortunately, we arrived at Max's at 8:30 PM and the promo is only until 10:00 PM. We were thinking that since we only had an hour and a half left, we need to eat quickly, so we can eat more chicken. LOL! But at 9:30 PM, i got a call from Jo and we need to go home na. So in a span of 1hour we were able to eat 4 quarter pieces of  chicken. Not bad at all since we only paid P165 for the chicken and P39 for the bottomless Softdrink. =)

2nd time @ Zao Serendra

I heart their food! =)  This is my second visit to Zao Vietnamese Bistro but this time, i brought the whole family! We tried other foods in the menu but mostly we ordered their specialties. All i can say is YUMMY! 
I also took photos of the menu so that other people will have an idea of the foods and the prices too. :) Enjoy looking at the pictures! 

Here's what we ordered. Instead of the Pho (Noodle Soup), we ordered a Bowl of Pho Broth. We choose beef. Even without the noodles and the meat, the Pho Broth still tastes fantastic! You can order Chicken, Pork or Beef Broth. You can ask for condiments and it includes bean sprouts, a slice of lemon and chilis. Put it all in your soup and voila, Beef Pho for the soul! 

Bowl of Pho Broth (Php 55)

bean sprouts, fresh, basil lemon and chilis for the Pho

Sriracha Hot Sauce? (I'm not sure of the name, corredt me if I'm wrong) and Hoisin Sauce for the Pho

Crispy Spring Rolls (Php 195)

This is one of the Best Sellers. Crispy Spring Rolls or Cha Gio are traditionally made with rice paper wrappers and it consists of Pork, Mushroom  and Glass Noodles, which are thin, transparent, wiry noodles made from Mung Bean starch. The crispy spring rolls are served with Lettuce wrap, bean sprouts and carrots. Then you dip your  rolls in Nuoc Nam, which is the traditional Vietnamese mixed fish sauce.

Grilled Chicken Salad (Php 195)

It has Cabbage, Basil, Cilantro, Roasted Peanuts and Chili, in Spiced Lime Vinaigrette. This salad is very light and delicious. It also has a few shrimp crackers on the side which added crunchiness to the salad.

Barbeque Spare Ribs (Php 295)

Another Best Seller that you should try! Yummiest Barbeque Spare Ribs I've tasted so far. The meat is chargrilled and yet it remained soft and easy to chew. One bite and the flavors will explode in your mouth! It is garlicky, spicy and sweet all at the same time.

Zao Fried Rice 

It has seafoods and salted egg

Zao Satay Platter (Php 345)

A sampler of their Grilled Satay specialties of Shrimp, Beef, Pork and Chicken. Serve on a bed of Lettuce.

White Chocolate and Banana Tart (Php 175)

For dessert, we tried this White Chocolate Banana Tart. It has Bananas and White Chocolate as filling, and topped with Creme Chantilly, which is just a sweetened whipped cream, and dusted with Toasted Coconuts. The base of the tart is made from Chocolate Almond Sugar Crust.
