Chub's Diner Challenge: Sting and I vs Food

Are you up for the challenge?
 Are you sure?

Here are the contenders... on the red corner we have these hungry pair of monsters.hehe 
Meet Sting everyone, my boyfriend, who is making a face at me >:O

and on the blue corner we have the Chubs undefeated burger challenge
One foot burger with a pound of fries and giant milkshake. (we split the milkshake into two)

Outcome?

We were totally defeated! We could not finish the whole meal.

Chub's Diner is a newly opened burger joint in Cagayan de Oro City. It is located at Corrales street near Xavier University. 
They serve delicious burgers, fries, milkshake and oh my favorite "All day breakfast" meals. You can definitely order breakfast meal here at anytime of the day. The prices are reasonable and the food serving are massive. They also offer unlimited brewed coffee or hot chocolate if I'm not mistaken, for every breakfast meal you order. 

They also have this challenge where if you could finish all of those food shown in the picture above (1 foot burger, 1 pound fries, and giant milkshake) in 15 minutes you get the meal for free. If you can't finish it then you have to pay 650 pesos. Oh you also get to choose the flavor of your milkshakes, what type of fries and dip you like, and how you like your burger to be cooked. We chose cookies and cream for our milkshake, Mexicali fries with salsa, and we had our burger patty cooked well done. 

From our experience, I think that for one normal person to finish that monstrous meal in 15 minutes is purely impossible. A professional eater could maybe do it. Nevertheless we really enjoyed the food and the place.

 The place was a bit small but it was cozy enough. The staff were accommodating and the service was okay. We only had to wait for our order for about10 to 15 minutes, which was not that bad because the patty had to grilled. I think the waiting time will depend if the place is packed with customers or not. The food was oh so delicious, the milkshakes was divine. I would definitely go back their again for their milkshakes because they have a couple of different flavors that I like to try out. The fries were just so so for me, but the burger oh my gosh! it was really mouth watering. It was so good!!! notice the number of exclamation points, that's how good the burger taste. It was juicy, a little bit spicy and it had the right amount of saltiness and sweetness that I love. Overall I would give the burger a 4.5 / 5 rating. My only problem with them is that there serving is so big that I can't fit them in my tummy.haha 

Up until now there is no one who holds the record yet, so go and give the challenge a try.

Bangkok Travel Part 4: Food and Shopping



Thai street food... Had this for lunch when we went to Chatuchak weekend market. I would suggest that before you buy street food, do observe how the food was prepared.
Breakfast buffet at our hotel had a vast variety of food choices. My favorite were the scrambled egg and the french toast with sausage and fruits. Yum!
We had a really hard time finding fast food in Bangkok because most of the fast food are only available at malls like Central World and Siam, so for the most part we had to dine in local restaurants. The food was okay but they have those spicy sauce that doesn't suite my taste. 
Ice cream feast! Super sweet desserts.
Great for Fashion Shopping. Spent one whole day perusing the stores and haggling for wholesale price. You can get cute and fashionable clothes at very cheap price if you know how to haggle. One down side is you cannot try on the clothes but the store attendants are very good at recommending sizes for you body type.
This mall is famous for their gadgets.

Was so tired after shopping but it was worth-it. If I ever go back to Bangkok I would definitely shop again at Platinum mall.

Dinner at Teriyaki Boy 08.20.11







The look on Sting's face after the meal... I think he has a tummy ache >.<


It was our 4 years and 8 months anniversary yesterday and we went to dinner after I did some shopping at the mall where my boyfriend "Sting" worked and we decided to try out this Japanese restaurant (or at least I think its Japanese) called Teriyaki Boy. My boyfriend picked the place since he want to try something new but I was in the mood for pizza. So we went in and looked at their menu. The food looked great so we decided to stay however, we did not take into account if we like the taste of Japanese food. We ordered 4 dishes, "kani" salad, their version of buffalo chicken, teriyaki boy chicken and breaded pork with teriyaki sauce. Let me tell you I only liked the teriyaki boy chicken and the rest was okay but the salad made me loose my appetite. I think without the salad we would have enjoyed meal more. The service however was excellent especially the guy named "Jade" very accommodating. Sting got a tummy ache after and swore never to go back to that place. He now calls it "Teri-yuckkeee".lol
