Claw Daddy


     Angel, me and some of our friends celebrated July 4th at Claw Daddy's in BGC, Angel loves eating crabs and most of us love the taste of seafood.  We were even surprised to know that they were going to introduce to us a new dish called the boiling bags.

Grilled Corns
Ballpark Nachos
Ceasar Salad
     We were given corns and nachos as appetizers which easily vanished in a few seconds.  Especially the nachos because of how it tasted.  It was a real treat to have it garnished with lots of cheese and meat on top.  We also had some salad on the side which I ate most because I didn't want to have rice.  It was a good substitute for healthy goers, it was very flavorful and was actually heavy on the tummy.
     And here came the boling bags!  And we really got amazed with how big it was, how it smelled after the bag was opened, and also all the ingredients inside it which were all making our mouths water with eagerness.  It was like finding the golden pot in the end of the rainbow, the smell and taste was really heaven like.  The "Seafood Boil In A Bag" and the "All Shrimp Boiling Bag" were the ones we had.  "The Seafood Boil In A Bag" is a seafood feast of crabs, fresh water prawns, south pacific clams, green mussels, manila clams, Andouille sausage, potatoes and corn.  I really loved how it smelled, the different herbs and spices mixed with the aroma of the dish, the dish costs P1495.  The "All Shrimp Boiling Bag" has baby shrimps, fresh water prawns, Andouille sausage, corn and potatoes.  It was a lighter in terms of taste than the previous boiling bag we had and was sweeter.  Maybe because it didn't had too much of the herbs and spices on top of it.  I liked it better because the first one was spicy, this bag costs P995.

The Amazing Spider-Man


     Your friendly web slinging hero has come back in this reboot of the famous movie series.  Andrew Garfield is now the lead role playing the character of Peter Parker in his younger days when he was still with his first love Gwen Stacy played by Emma Stone.

     The story starts with Peter being left by his parents to the care of his Uncle Ben and Aunt May played by Martin Sheen and Sally Field.  The movie shows how Peter faces his high school days being bullied, falling in love, and finding the truth about his parents.  I really loved how the movie was able to incorporate that Spider-Man is just as human as he can be by having him use the web shooters, this shows just how genius and creative he can be.  The only thing I disliked about the movie was the action scenes, I felt it were too simple and lacked luster.  After each fights, I felt like saying "so that was it?" and I really was looking forward to it because the first 3 movies of Spidey had great fight scenes.  Like when he was fighting Doc Oc on the train, or when he was fighting Venom in the end of Spidey 3.

     For me the movie was good but not great, good because it mostly centered on Spidey's life, but I really wish the movie left me with great feeling that made me want to watch it again or look forward to the next one.  The Amazing Spider-Man is stated to be a trilogy, so maybe the third one would be the one I would enjoy watching.

The Amazing Spider-Man is still showing in your nearest theaters, watch it in IMAX version if you want to have a better grasp of the movie.
