BACON SLAB at Poco Deli!!

After a client meeting, we went straight to Poco Deli for lunch. It is a little delicatessen situated at Kapitolyo, Pasig City just a few meters away from Charlie's Burger. Nothing fancy on the exterior; it is just a small place that you might even miss/not notice, but the food is really, really good! It offers all sorts of sausages, cold cuts and cheese; they also offer wine selection.

I want to try the Seafood pasta with truffle oil... next time

 No MSG, No preservatives!

Wine area

See, place is quite small.

DUN DUN DUN DUN...

I totally did not have hard time selecting my order. I immediately said that I am getting BACON STEAK! Plus, I am reserving Dave's Frozen Yogurt for dessert.

So, this is how 'uncut', INCH THICK bacon looks like, huh...

Two servings of an inch thick bacon slab right durr! THIS IS SUPER!
Looks like liempo ba? haha! Iz bacon, please...

It looked small in this photo. 

I tell you, if you love bacon or you just want a good slab of meat, you oughta try this!

Sausages, cheese, and cold cuts.

For dessert, two had gooey chocolate cake (MUST TRY! REALLY GOOD!) while our boss had Häagen-Dazs popsicle. 

They also have cupcakes looking ala-Sonja's! hee! I miss munching on Cupcakes by Sonja!

I had a cup of Strawberry Dave's Naturals yogurt. They also have chocolate flavored yogurt which is one of their best sellers. I wanted something fruity, though. If my memory serves me right, it costs 85php per cup now.

BACON: Blocks Arteries CONsequence

Bacon is good due to the heavenly laden bad fat it contains. Cured meats, such as bacon, contain nitrates which serve as anti-bacterial agents and preservatives which is insoluble in water, making it harder to digest resulting to clogged arteries.

I can't remember the last time I ate bacon. Mom does not approve preserved products. Subsequently, whenever we do our grocery, my brother and I drool over those ready-to-cook and ready-to-eat. There are seldom times wherein we surreptitiously put unhealthy stuff into the cart and when we get into the counter Mom could not do anything anymore since we do that Puss in Boots stare, begging for some junk.

A couple of weeks ago, I craved for bacon. I begged for two 250 grams of bacon packs. I cooked it in the oven and did not put any oil. I let the bacon's fat do the whole thing. I ovened the bacon twice and changed the plate on the second cooking time. Thus, a quite amount of fat still came off (refer to picture above). No wonder it is considered as one of the most unhealthy food.

We all know and are aware that most food that we love are unhealthy and are dangerous to our health. I guess we have to be reminded from time and again that we have to choose what we eat wisely. As the saying goes, "health is not everything, but without health everything else is nothing". Let's take good care of our daily diet and physique and not wait for everything we take in daily accumulate and succumb us.
