Yellow Cab’s latest “Dear Darla”

naomicorpuz — Sun, 03 May 2009 11:11:49 +0000

Though I am not a pizza lover, I grabbed a bite yesterday of Yellow Cab’s latest pizza “Dear Darla” seeing from 2 newspaper advertisements that it has fresh veggies in it. And I also won’t forget my first unforgettable experience eating thin pizza with arugula and alfalfa sprouts with a french-filipino family in Pampanga, which was my favorite among the french food they served.

It is good to know that Yellow cab has added this to its menu, exclusively in the Philippines. Only now that I learned that it has a 24 hour branch at the new UP-Ayala land Technology Hub and with only a P250 minimum for delivery.

Their “Dear Darla” comes with a flyer instruction how to eat this pizza; though it is quite easy, just spread the arugula, then the alfalfa sprouts and drizzle with chili oil. Roll the pizza (pre-sliced in long pieces) with the veggies after that. I also suggest that you eat it while it is hot that makes a big difference when it is not, like any other pizza that is better-tasting when still steaming hot from the oven.

My only criticism, Yellow Cab must add more veggies for one order. I find the veggies “bitin” (insufficent) given for a 10″ pizza, the smallest that is P275, (12″ is P400 plus, 14″ is P500 plus), considering that more sprouts give a much better taste compared with a very scarce supply in one bite. One rule in business, “Wag titipirin ang customer”.

Yellow Cab among many, has branches in QC:
Katipunan, Tandang Sora, Technology Hub Commonwealth
Call 441-2222 for Deliveries (P250 minimum).

This would definitely boost Philippine tourism!

Gibbs Cadiz says he would like to see something like this in Ayala.

I say this would definitely give us an influx of tourists … Enjoy!

A Big Question Mark

naomicorpuz — Mon, 23 Mar 2009 15:51:27 +0000

For the past weeks I kept myself busy making chocolates, reading, watching TV, reading, making chocolates, then making chocolates again, uploading photos of my products, reading, watching TV… and so on and so forth.

But that was basically it.

I had thoughts a couple of times the past days in solitary confinement asking myself, “What do I really want to do in life?”

As I go back…

In grade 2, I wanted to win a beauty pageant. I wanted to join the Little Miss Philippines in Eat Bulaga. I was already thinking on what to wear and what to perform in my talent presentation. But my mom ignored me. I ended up winning in a Miss Intramurals in school though.

Somewhere along the way in gradeschool, I wanted to be a movie actress, a great painter, a politician, a musical actress, or a popular singer - none of which has been achieved so far.

Then on my last year in gradeschool, I had thoughts of becoming a nun.

Came highschool, I had thoughts of becoming a doctor. Then a lawyer. I changed my mind and I wanted to be a doctor again for the latter makes more money.

College came and I took science units as requirements, I realized I wasn’t good at it. I got accepted in some medschool then changed my mind. I backed out.

Then I am now in lawschool.

However what I am enjoying the most is baking and molding chocolates. Yes, now I want to be a baker.

I imagine myself having a bakery making and selling the freshest breads in the north with chocolates and pastries. (And making money).

Why is this post entitled, “A Big Question Mark?” - with a stress on “BIG”. Because I am in a big dilemma. I don’t know what to do in life. For I am in the crossroads. In a quarter-life crisis. For I want to do so many, but I can’t do all. I have so many options, but I don’t know what is best.

What shall I do in life? I am a member of UPLCF, Law Christian Fellowship in school and we hold bible studies almost weekly. Our bible leader told us many times, that whatever we do in life, always remember that we do it for God. - I know this sounds so corny, but isn’t God the one who knows what really is best for us?

So help me God. That whatever I’ll do, I’ll do it for You.

Thank you very much JASON and SOL and ATE GRATCH

for INVITING ME in Boy and Kris.

It was an unforgettable experience and I had fun :), I hope this will open doors for me on TV (Joke!). haha. But seriously I am indebted to BOY and KRIS, their staff and crew because “Naomi’s Kitchen” atleast would get more known to people across the Philippines.

FYI: At the very start of the show, Kris will be handing Boy a small red heart from my heart canister from Naomi’s Kitchen.
Kris: Boy, my heart for you
Boy says: Ang saraaaap!
Kris: Ang sarap noh? Is that white chocolate colored in red?

……….. then show continues
Here are some of the clips:

Kris Aquino, OFF-AIR, before the start of the show: (she was handing some of my heart canisters with chocolates and mallows to her stylist) O, iuuwi ko ito kasi favorite ni Baby James ang marshmallows.

On the lap of the guest, note the BOX - this is my 3 edible roses in a box for only P349. If for 5 pieces, P299 only per piece.

I handed Tito BOY his personalized lollipops after the show. With me is my employee Ellen. Tito Boy says sincerely, “I hope you do well.” I hope so tooo!!! Thank you Tito Boy for your kindness.

Some of my lollipops on display! For P15 & P20 a piece (by a dozen)

Thank you to the team of BOY&KRIS!!!! I LOVE YOU!!!!!!!!

Naomi In The Kitchen

naomicorpuz — Fri, 23 Jan 2009 16:31:54 +0000

Some people have been asking me, since I engaged my chocolate-making hobby in entrepreneurship if, “Naomi, ikaw ba talaga ang gumagawa nito?”

So here it is. I guess the pictures speak for themselves.

I was busy doing my latest addition to my valentine chocolate line-up…

Thank You Pat, Lito & Amie

naomicorpuz — Fri, 23 Jan 2009 13:53:39 +0000

Through blogging, I want to take this opportunity to thank LITO, PAT & AMIE, who sent me an expensive brand of coffee: Illy.

I do not know who you are but the stationery you used to place my name and your name, placed on top of the coffee suggests you are from San Jose, California.

I do not know how you got the information that I wished for coffee in my wishlist last Christmas which is my tangible wish no. 7. If ever you read my blog on this, well, thank you for reading, and more so, for granting my wish.

I really appreciate people who read my blogs passively and actively. It gives me the feeling that I make sense in this world. In blogging atleast.

Again, thank you and may you have a blessed new season!

Naomi
