EMPOWERED MOM

My daughter and I had dinner at Greenwich twice this week, and only three days apart. Lili loves Greenwich pizza and pasta so much she can have it everyday, lol.. Of course, it wouldn’t be a healthy choice. Fastfood should not be eaten everyday. It is much healthier if we prepare food at home because we can control what we put in them.

Anyway, the first Greenwich dinner happened at Greenwich Divisoria, while the second one at Greenwich Gaisano Mall. I have no complaints about the service at Greenwich Divisoria, but Greenwich Gaisano Mall has always been poor at it. I think the company should buy a Survey Software and conduct an individualized random survey among patrons to improve their service. Some fast food chains even conduct Online Survey at their website so that they will know exactly what they can improve on, what products are more viable to their consumers and what products they have to do away with. In these surveys, customers can even have a say as to what products to bring back or take down.

I was once the Guidance, Career Placement and Promotions Officer at a certain school here in the city, and I know for a fact that service rendered truly makes or breaks a company. And the best way to measure customer satisfaction as well as all other needs of a company, regardless of what product is sold, is to listen to its clients. And the best way to do that is through a survey. Perhaps if management is aware of the shortcomings of their people, then they can do something about it. We may like the food, my daughter and I, but service counts most..

Suman is anything that is made of sticky rice and bundled in banana leaf.. Cooked in the old fashion way: steamed. This is best served with coffee or tsokolate.

From Butuan City, these three are my favorites. In order, Palagsing, Budbod and Moron.

I am always in Suman heaven everytime I eat them.. woohoo!

The kids just arrived and I find it really funny that during their Salo-salo, they ate only foods that are within reach.. ignoring the rest of the food served, including those that they brought.. or the ones they were assigned to bring..

The Palitao Sold at P 5 each in Cogon, P 10 at a foodplace somewhere..

So, when they got home this afternoon, they still had their food share intact, and they also brought home the ones that they have taken a bite of.. I guess Kakanin and Filipino foods are not so much a hit with the kids. Perhaps if the teachers also had a more organized salo-salo, the kids would be able to enjoy the different Filipino foods that they had before them. Ironically, as what was observed, the kids who attended the salo-salo mostly flocked on the “Pansit Canton”, and it is not even an authentic Filipino dish.
