Wendy's, Coming Soon in Our Neighborhood!

A few months ago we saw an old building in our area demolished. They put up posters announcing that a Wendy's restaurant will soon rise in the area. Months passed and we eagerly awaited for it to be built. It's been 8 weeks I think since I passed the area and I was surprised to see the building has been built! 

They also put up a tall Wendy's signage which can be seen from afar (Chowking's higher though). I think when they finally turn on the lights we'll be able to see it from our home. I'm glad our neighborhood will have Wendy's again. There used to be one in SM Bicutan. I remember because we used to go there with my Mom and Dad. 

There are a lot of new establishments in our neighborhood. There's a lot of SME food providers and most of what we need is available in the area. SME businesses have extended far into what we used to call the "Fastract" area (a.k.a. Dona Soledad extension). The extension was almost empty when I did my driving lessons back in the late 90s. We also only passed by there as an alternative to go to the airport. 

Next time I'll take a video when we pass through Dona Soledad. I used to spend time mapping the area. There's probably a lot of things to update on the map now.

How to Make Yummy Japanese Style Hamburger

That Japanese style hamburger with the special sauce? Yup, I make those at home for my boys. Uncle Fumio told me it's the best burger in the whole world. He sent me a few Japanese videos on how to make it, but the chef's were too fast! I just watched it over and over to learn the right technique. 

I like making my patties small. This is how my Dad used to make it at home, so I wanted to keep it that way. I made them big once and the boys were overwhelmed. I guess they wanted being tricked to thinking they're eating mini-burgers haha. 

Here's how I make the Japanese-style hamburger --

Ingredients:

400 grams ground beef

1/2 tsp salt

ground black pepper

1/2 onion, chopped

vegetable oil

1 egg

1/4 cup milk

1 cup breadcrumbs

2/3 cup water

Sauce:

3 Tbsp ketchup

1 Tbsp sake

2 Tbsp worcestershire sauce

1 tsp soy sauce

1 Tbsp butter
