I tried my best avoiding pork, but this one is inevitable, they’re so tempting and sinfully delicious – at least I consume it once a week.

I was invited to a school event that day, I mean today. A colleague of mine from a school I used to work, cooked Pork Humba and I immediately asked for her recipe that’s worth sharing.

For those who are eating this sinful food please don’t forget to have your blood pressure checked and bring anti-cholesterol medication.

Here are the ingredients:
5 kilos pork, cut into bite sizes
1.36 liter pineapple juice sweetened
2 1/2 garlic cloves sliced
3 onion bulb sliced
4 bell pepper sliced
1 sachet ginisa mix seasoning
1 sachet soy sauce
1/2 can black beans

Procedure:

• mix all ingredients – pork, pineapple juice, garlic, onion bulb, ginisa mix, 2 tablespoon of black beans for taste, in a large pot, set the stove flame to medium for 30 minutes.
• after 30 mins. put half sachet of soy sauce and bell pepper, let it simmer in slow fire.
• serve

Note: The Pork Humba Recipa mentioned above serves around 30 persons.

On my way home I usually pass by this place, right across the street this pizza along the right side corner always registers in my mind.

I’ve been thinking a few times and asked myself  ”when will I ever try this pizza place out” as some of my colleagues remind and tell me.

Isaac’s Pasta – Php 105.00, panene in white sauce, with roasted chicken and mushroom – creamy and saucy!

And finally, the wait is over, we came to Boyd’s Pizza House on May 6, 2012 at last! Good Heavens!

Meaty Jeff Special – Php 445.00, fully loaded with pepperoni, spiced ham and beef.

Green Salad with Vinagrette Dressing - Php 95.00, sliced carrots, tomatoes, cucumbers, lettuce, onion rings and bread croutons.

As usual my all meat no pork diet pork for the week crashed, I’m not supposed to eat any red meat twice a week in a row, at least once, thankfully to balance it out I ordered some Green Salad with Vinagrette -now that’s a balanced diet!

Joining the ranks of house specialties at the new pizza joint.

Is no other than Pop Steak Sandwich – Php 75.00.

Pop Steak Sandwich is composed of half moon size buns stuffed with cooked marinated beef with their secret ingredient – gravy spread. Yumyum! Now you know where to nomnom – wrapper not included

No wonder the folks over here call it Beer Drinkers Pizza.

While we were eating out the second time around and trying to test the pizza if it compliments with san miguel light beer, Kevin accidentally moved/pushed the beer bottle and it fell over, and its  contents spilled over the pizza!

Soaking wet – Tada… a new pizza recipe was born – Beer Drinkers Pizza at Php 220.00.

I’m just kidding! anyways, the pizza is made of thin dough topped with cheese, bell peppers, white onions, beef tapa strips bite sizes.

It’s called Beer Drinks Pizza because… the answer is too obvious…

Opened last April 14, 2012, Pizzaccademia serves never before seen and heard pizza combinations of sorts.

Sicilian Pizza – Php 220.00

I was curious what Beer Drinkers Pizza taste like? it has beef/pork tapa on top its crust – total gastronomic pleasure in my opinion, give it a try you’ll love it!

Some friends came before and ahead of us.. bummer I thought I was the first..

This taco is crunchy as well as yummy! it’s filled with cheese toppings and a dose green veggies like lettuce, tomatoes, beef tidbits, onions – Php 70.00

This coming school opening for Year 2012, the service staffs and crews will be wearing school inspired uniform, they’ll be having attendance checked everyday posted on the wall. The management is also considering of bringing in their old pizza recipe (fingers crossed)

The pizzas that Pizzaccademia is serving are regular 12″ sizes.

We’re hoping many more pizza experiences to come!
