Shopwise Lancaster

One of the things I love most about doing the weekly grocery shopping, is finding new products that can make my life easier in the kitchen and at home. There are a few places that I like to frequent for the different items we use weekly and monthly in the house, and Shopwise is on my list of go to grocery stores for a variety of reasons. Recently, I was invited to the grand launch of Shopwise Lancaster, and I was so happy that Nino could join me for this super bongga event that had me explore these new digs just a little bit further south.

Of course, we had to take the obligatory photo by the huge shopping cart! 

Once we arrived at Shopwise’s newest location, I knew that it was going to be a grand celebration of everything Shopwise is known for. This supermarket is an eighteen year old brand that has been serving generations of shoppers who are not only looking for quality meats, fish, and produce, but also the modern convenience of being able to consolidate where we shop for what we need for our households at affordable prices.

I always love it when Nino joins me for events like these. It means I actually get to be in some of the photos as well.

There was just so much going on! And the CHEER Dancers!

Erica Padilla opened up as the emcee of the program following the dance program of the cheer dancers. Shopwise executives, welcomed us into the hyper supermarket, and special guest appearances were spaced all through out the day, leading up to a very special concert by Up Dharma Down.

Unfortunately, we couldn’t stay for the concert (momma duties) but we had a great time exploring the supermarket with all of the deals and steals that they were offering shoppers for the day!

Here’s what we saw:

Produce that was not only FRESH but LOCAL.

Sometimes, I crave the fruit I grew up with…

And nectarines from Australia are the perfect fix.

And here they are, in all their glory front row and center at Shopwise Lancaster.

One thing I have learned is that I can save a peso or two by buying the store brand Sure Buy.

Taking advantage of Shopwise’s in-house store brand for a variety of different staples can make a big difference when it comes time to check out at the register.

Even bigger deals were seen all through out the store for the GRAND OPENING.

Like Buy One Take One on rice, chicken, bread, and even household items like hangers were where you could see shoppers taking advantage of the celebration.

But Nino and I were having fun exploring this new, sweet smelling, well organized supermarket. 

Magnolia Chicken Station DOES make my life easier when I’m in a hurry. From their breaded chicken strips that I can fry up quick and throw in the Yumbox, to the Chicken Inasal which I have yet to learn how to make…

With some of the usual suspects…

Kewpie is definitely a staple for us. Gia loves Spicy Cheese. We all love Creamy Sesame.

And the usual staples that we have in the ref and or the pantry, like Kewpie Salad Dressing and Mayo.

And when my love asked me to pose for him. I did. 

But not before I inspected and perused all the BIG SAVINGS PACKS for my family of six…

I do what I do for everyone in this photo, including making sure the house is well stocked with all the food that these five humans enjoy.

AND because Shopwise Lancaster also wanted to give us the opportunity to have a little bit more fun, we were given the chance to GUESS HOW MUCH the SHOPPING CART is worth.

Erica asked 10 of the guests at the launch to come up with a number closest to the total of the ingredients of the cart.

I must confess, I was way off. And here I was hoping I could not only take home the ingredients IN THE CART, but I was also hoping to win the gift certificates that the person who guessed correctly was awarded for her stellar guessing skills….

While exploring, Nino and I found the wine section…and I was curious to see what Shopwise was carrying in terms of Australian and Italian Wine.

After eating breakfast with everyone, Nino and I even had time to explore the food court, and the rest of the store after the doors were open to the public.

I went back to explore some of the meats and was surprised to see that there was a variety of both local and imported meats.

I also went back to take a look at the mangosteen, passion fruit, rambutan, and daladan. These are all the same local fruits that I love keeping in the house. Of course, each of my kiddos has their favorite.

Healthier options that are sugar free just make me feel like a better mom when I bring it to the table in the morning with hot pandesal.

And because we had to head back to Alabang to visit with my Best Buddies DLSZ, it was right around this time that we proceeded to the check out.

You know one thing I loved about this experience?

There was a chance to give immediate feedback about my experience. 

And that was when I realized, none of the other supermarkets that I frequent, have EVER offered this ability to me.

Nor do they have runners…er…bladers readily available and at your service. 

Are you wondering why he’s wearing roller blades? 

Well, you know when you get to the register and maybe one of your items doesn’t have a sku? This smiley guy right here will blade across the store with a swiftness and will be back with the correct price tag so you aren’t waiting at the register as long as you normally would…

Cool right?

I have always been intimidated by Cornish Hens. Th I have always been intimidated by Cornish Hens. Through this learning exercise with @usapeecphl, I have learned a bit more about these little birds that have bigger breast parts, and thank you Chef @ivoryyat for showing me how easy it is to prepare Greek Lemon Roasted Cornish Hens with Roasted Potatoes.
 
Clean and fresh flavors are perfect for these smaller birds that are rich in protein with zero carbs. Try the recipe in the comments section. I’m sure you’d enjoy it as much as I did!
 
Interested in U.S. Cornish Hens? You can buy them in stores near you. #CornishHen #USCornishHen #PoultryPerfection #CookingWithUSPoultry #USPoultry #USAPEECPHL #ad
@gi.aventajado and I played with some of the @pura @gi.aventajado and I played with some of the @puratosph products that they sent over the other day. Ready to use Bavarian Cream made these Cream Puffs easier than ever. I think we have to figure out how to temper our couverture better…

@mommymundo always has a way of bringing together @mommymundo always has a way of bringing together just what we need, no matter the time of year. Loving these photos of my first boy that were snapped @expomom.

Anyone else thinking about #HolidayPhotos? I am not one of those moms that has it all together before Christmas. It’s usually a mad dash for us at the end of the year, but if it’s anything that the past few years has taught me, it’s that the little things are what makes the Christmas special.

Many of us haven’t been together with the extended family or even our immediate family in so long. That means it’s the perfect time to document.

@nextbymetrophoto will be hosting one last Christmas Marathon family photo shoot before the end of year. Check them out or shoot them a message. They have some cute set-ups.
****GIVEAWAY ALERT*** 10 things I LOVE about @sed ****GIVEAWAY ALERT***

10 things I LOVE about @sedahotels listed here and on FB!

1. Each property has a Signature Dish. If you can’t make it to Bacolod, you can still enjoy Chicken Inasal in any of their properties.

2. Clean Design. So easy to work and play in a space that is light, modern, and clean in design. 

3. Beautiful views. Every chance I got, I would sit outside at @straightupatseda. 

4. Spacious Rooms and Residence Stays. Staying in the Three Bedroom Premier was perfect for our family. 

5. Attentive Service. Everyone was pleasant and accommodating.

6. Centrally Located. If you are thinking of fun things to do in Makati and want a home base, Seda Residences Makati is near a few of the museums, parks, and malls.

7. Work with ease. Internet service is uninterrupted. Meeting rooms are available and easy to book.

8. Relax and Play. From mid-day tubbies with Gelli to, taking advantage of the pool, or the children’s room, the little girl had more than enough things to keep her busy!

9. #FamilyTime. Spending an extended amount of time outside our own space led to laughter, fun conversations, and opportunities to try new things. We were comfortable and rested in the space we were in, which meant more opportunities for us to connect.

10. Homegrown with a Purpose. A Filipino brand that understands the importance of both work and travel, each property is important to the city & province location. Environmentally aware by adopting Mayumi, a Philippine Bald Eagle. 🦅

Is there anything better than a stuffed turkey at Is there anything better than a stuffed turkey at this time of year? Whole turkeys require serious commitment to cook. #IYKYK But because U.S. Poultry is now available here in the Philippines, that also means preparing turkey is a tad bit easier.
 
Frozen U.S. turkey products are available and ready to cook for people who want to dabble with flavors for this bigger bird but aren't sure how.
 
Thank you to Chef @ivoryyat for putting together a medley of my favorite fall flavors. This combination of apples, sweet potatoes, and maple syrup perfectly compliment  the roasted turkey leg and remind me of flavors and scenes from back in New York. 
 
@usapeecphl l has the highest standards that follow USDA requirements which are certified safe before shipping to the Philippines. Get them in stores near you.
