Fish Out of Water

By | Foodie | 2 Comments

Thanks to my bestfriend, Eds, for taking me to lunch!  This is becoming an annual thing… last year was Apartment 1B.  We made a promise we need to get together more often.

We agreed to try something new.  She made me choose so I chose another restaurant from Greenbelt 5.   We of course enjoyed the meal.  It was an interesting menu with many choices.

Classic Confections

By | Foodie | 2 Comments

After dinner, we decided to have dessert in Classic Confections as recommended by our friend Carlson.  He said to have the banana cream pie.  And we did!  Carlson was right, it was very good.  I also like the cookies that come in different designs and the almond crunch. Classic Confections is owned by Baba, who is the wife of our friend Raoul.    More power to you Baba!classic-confections-book2.jpgclassic-confections-book3.jpgclassic-confections-book4.jpgclassic-confections-book5.jpgclassic-confections-book6.jpg classic-confections-book7.jpgBANANA CREAM PIE!!!

Myron’s Place

By | Foodie | 2 Comments

We had dinner with Gary and Alexie and we wanted to try the new places at Greenbelt 5. So we tried Myron’s.  Nice place and ambience.  They have a reasonably priced menu.  We enjoyed the oysters and highly recommend the wagyu burger.  It was very good and very tender.  You can even choose to have it with blue cheese or foie gras!  Yummy!  Will not mind coming back to try the oysters and burger both with foie gras….

We all got to try a piece from the Angus rib eye Alexie ordered.   It was good too.   She was the only one who ordered the steak.  We wanted to try other things on the menu as there was a good variety to choose from.

The Ice Cream Bar by Fruits in Ice Cream ( FIC )

By | Foodie, What's New at Power Plant Mall | One Comment

A few weeks ago Heart2Heart had to have her favorite QUEZO ice cream!  So, it was a good time to try it at the new Ice Cream Bar of FIC.  Aside from ice cream, they have snack food too.  Need to go back to try the whole experience.

Sakura

By | Foodie, Travel | No Comments

Whenever in Subic with Dad and Mom, Sakura is a definite stop.   They have good japanese food and an extensive menu. They have a branch in Araneta Coliseum near Starbucks but it is called Sachi.   (Taken from the website of Araneta Coliseum):

Sachiko Hirano’s Sakura Restaurant at Times Square in Subic, has a good following despite its distance from Metro Manila. It attracts people who seek authentic Japanese cuisine at its finest. Recognizing this, Hirano decided to put up a branch at the heart of Quezon City, Araneta Center. “Same quality, same management”, Hirano says. Like its Subic counterpart, Sachi at the Coliseum Circle offers excellent wasyoku or traditional Japanese cuisine, like sushi, sashimi, tempura, gohanmono (rice with topping), noodles, agemono (deep-fried items), yakimono (grilled foods), nimono (simmered dishes), teppanyaki (dishes grilled on hot iron plate), nabermono (one pot dishes like sukiyaki and shabu-shabu), Japanese style steaks, desserts and other house specials prepared by executive chef Tadashi Noda and his staff.

Cantinetta

By | Foodie | One Comment

This is my brother’s ( Noey ) favorite restaurant! and also a family favorite on both sides of the family.  We ate here for his birthday this year and also last year.  Gerry and Tina eat here every week with Dad and their kids.  

In my personal opinion, this is one of the Italian restaurants in our country that is comparable to the ones in Italy. The only thing lacking is being in Italy itself.  I highly recommend Cantinetta for Italian food.

One of the BEST Spaghetti bolognese!!! YUMMY!!!

dsc_3731.JPGcantinetta-book13.jpgdsc_3695.JPG

THE BEST TARTUFO ( Truffle ) PASTA, you must have this if you like tartufo.  It normally comes in fettucine noodles, but I prefer always spaghetti noodles.  Either way, it is YUMMY!!!

dsc_3697.JPGcantinetta-book11.jpgcantinetta-book12.jpgdsc_3698.JPGdsc_3699.JPGcantinetta-book5.jpgdsc_3700.JPG

THE BEST SCALOPPINE MILANESE!!! Comparable to the one in Italy!  TRY it if you like breaded veal or we sometimes call this Cotoletti or Costoleta ala Milanese.

This is the manager of the restaurant. Wow!  Italian Manager for an Italian restaurant!  No wonder it is good!!

I like him because he did not stop me from taking photos!  🙂

This is my first time to meet Minnie who is the sister of Booboop and Tita of my friend Tricia.  We had Minnie’s wraps and pastries for our family Sunday lunch and we enjoyed! Thanks Minnie!

About a month or two ago, Minnie introduced her wraps.  I saw her at The Rockwell Souk where she was selling them.  Minnie said that they can do a WRAP BOOTH/TABLE in any party or catering and they can make the wraps fresh and right in front of you.
