Chef Resty's Roast Beef - Powerplant mall

I kept seeing this cart type carving station located near the escalator of Rustan's Supermarket. At first, I don't want to buy one because there is no space for dining. But since Gong Cha opened, there were seats located beside the stall already but for Gong Cha customers.  So I ordered the roast beef with rice and marbled potatoes and ordered 1 milk tea at Gong Cha so that I could sit and try their 'famous' roast beef.  

The beef was brisket so there were layers of big fats in between.  But it was so tender and moist that I couldn't resist not to eat the fats. But it is depended on the gravy.  The gravy is a bit salty but combined with the acidity of worcestershire sauce, it was addicting!

Gram's Diner's TAPA BURGER

They recently had their menu changed and decided to order their tapa burger since they are famour with their angus sirloin tapa.  You can ask if you want to have a scrambled, runny, or sunny side up egg.  I chose the runny "malasado" egg to make my burger richer!

The taste?!? - a ground tapa patty that's a bit salty.  I even poured some of their vinegar to balance the taste.   Or maybe? just maybe, I'm used to the traditional rice-tapa dish that I used to eat.

Sweet Bella @Greenbelt

I forgot the dishes' names so i'll describe it for y'all...

 Nicely cooked shrimp in shrimp bisque cream sauce that is packed full of flavors. However, after a few bites, 'nakaka-umay' already.

 USDA Beef Steak Salpicao,  just the usual salpicao...

 Italian Steak Sandwich - beef is tender and flavorful. Mom liked it!

Truffle cream sauce in angel hair pasta. One of the best truffle cream pasta we've tasted. Served with panko crusted slices of eggplants.

And lastly, we tried their signature drink - a small pot of hot Belgian choco *no pic*

very rich but a bit too sweet for our taste.  

Mango Tree Bistro - Trinoma

My friends and I went on a Valentine dinner and here's what we ordered...

Pad Thai
Shrimp Cake - i always order this dish everytime I eat at a Thai restaurant .. Thick, bouncy, chewy and juicy kind of shrimp cake!

Red Curry Pork Spareribs - it didn't really tasted like red curry.. but it's a-ok

Tom Yum Rice - at first i thought it would taste weird but it's very delicious and seasoned well!

I would really recommend this!!!

Pandan chicken - Don't like the sauce but the chunky chicken is juicy!

This chicken satay is a thumbs up!

Beef Satay - BOOHOO ! why was the meat rubbery?!? and it was recommended by your staff...

Thai Iced Milk Tea - one of the favorite Thai milk tea I ever tasted!

UCC Vienna Cafe - Trinoma

I read this display on our table so I ordered it. It comes with a cup of coffee or a can of softdrink.

Visually, it looks delicious but I didn't like the taste at all! The taste is milky sweet with just a hint of curry flavor.

Lengua Omurice is LOVE!!! Big slices of tender beef tongue with curry rice enveloped in omelette! This is the MUST TRY dish

Jatujak - SM the block

Bagoong Rice - I believed that the portion is getting smaller and smaller and just realized that they reheat their dishes in the microwave oven.. Tastewise, it's still great!

Prawn with garlic - I love this sauce! salty, sweet, garlicky ... what more can you ask for?!

Roast duck red curry - slices of duck simmered in tasty red curry sauce.

Lemongrass iced tea - it's bottomless

Beef Sotanghon Soup - this can be shared for 2 if you're not really hungry.. it had small chunks of beef hind shank that tasted quite sweet.

Thai Milk Coffee - a bit sweet for me... had to pour water to adjust the taste

Sticky rice with mango - DELICIOUS!!! We got this for free because I used my BDO credit card. It's supposed to be Tako but they ran out of it so they replaced this instead.
