Gumbo - Sm The Block

They serve bread with roasted garlic oil dip. Quite like it, for a first timer... Usually I would dip mine like Italianni's style balsamic and olive oil.


New Orlean's Buffalo Wings - nah.. Wings N' Things' has the best buffalo wings for me so far... these wings are like grilled not fried crispy. I like their bleu cheese dip though!


Calamares and on top is the drink we ordered. It's berry lemonade. Has quite unique taste and you could feel some strawberry flesh in the drink.

Half slab baby back ribs with choice of 2 side dishes. We chose mashed potatoes (chunky) and corn. The meat is not that moist and tender. But the taste is good.

and lastly, SEAFOOD JAMBALAYA!!! I really really really love this one! although mussels and clams' meat are tiny. the flavor of their jambalaya is tasty.

We got to bring home their pork chop dish for free c/o of EASTWEST credit card if your bill is P3,000 up.

HSBC's promo CPK's Chicken Adobo Pizza

I missed HSBC's promo of free Starbucks drink! For this period, they offer CPK. For Php 5,000+ worth of a single charge slip you would get a free of their chicken adobo...


Pizza is good, but not the thing you would crave for. This has lots of red onion and garlic with chunks of chicken. The adobo sauce is drizzled on toppings.

A Special Menu at Antonio's Tagaytay

I was invited to dine at Antonio's with one of their usual guests. For the welcome drink, they gave us mojito!

After travelling from Manila, a glass of cool, refreshing mojito beat the stress out of you.

for the appetizer, we had mixed greens with pomegranate and feta cheese.
and a roasted bell pepper and tomato soup. this creamy, sweet-sour soup tasted very good!

For one of the main entree, Chef Antonio suggested that we have his fresh flounder that was pan fried with olive oil. It was accompanied by cherry tomatoes, pine nuts, black olives and fried potatoes. This dish is very simple yet tasty!

a scoop of his home made green mango sorbet to cleanse our palate....

A rack of lamb with french beans and creamy polenta I really really liked his polenta! cheesy and creamy that compliments the lamb.

And for the dessert!!!! tadah!! chocolate souffle! I already poked the souffle to pour the chocolate sauce.

One of the best dining experience I had here in Antonio's! The place is cool and has clean air! It's good for relaxing from the busy Metro Manila...

Pepper Lunch - Powerplant Mall

I tried their weekday lunch promo with my sis and mom.

We ordered....

Super Value Steak Meal - the price is from P610 to P498. Comes with a drink, mashed potato, veggie, rice, juicy tender steak and you get to choose from miso soup, salad or ice cream. It's a must try and worth the price!


Curry Beef Rice - Unlike the previous curry rice we ordered before that you get to taste just a hint of curry, this one has 'curry paste' in the rice when you mix it.



Steak cut and Burger - This is always our order everytime we dine in here. 2 kinds of meat in one order!

What we usually do with our plain rice is that we mix it with the pepper rice while it is still hot and pour both honey brown and garlic soy sauce and sprinkle with black pepper! Instant Pepper rice for all of us! :D Then we get to share all our meat altogether!

Koryo - SM Skygarden





I was going from Sm North the Block to Trinoma by footbridge and I got attracted to the 'World famous garlic potatoes' their selling for just P55! So I bought one and tried it. I was expecting the powerful garlic taste but as I realized, it was a Korean-American food so it tasted sweet but still good. I like to eat potatoes especially fried with skin!

Sauce is sweet with sesame seeds, carrots and mayo?!? not sure.. But am craving for it. Too bad.. I don't usually go to Sm North...

Koryo is a restaurant that serves American/Korean family steak.

Rocky's @ Rockwell Club



We had lunch one Sunday here and ordered Beef Tapa, Corned Beef Hash, Cheesesticks and Tokwa't Tokwa.

Cheesticks.. one of my favorites! inside is cheese with bell peppers (pimiento)


tokwa't tokwa


Beef tapa is like their version of bacon. Thin, salty with curled fat.


We asked about their corned beef hash if it's homemade but they told us it's imported canned corned beef. anyway it's still good and tasty! What I like is that it's served with 2 eggs! :D Still, the best corned beef hash I tasted is UCC's, crispy!

Starbucks' molten lava cake

I would usually order their cinnamon roll but this Christmas season for a change, i tried their molten lava cake topped with whipped cream and drizzled with caramel sauce.

Fudgey, moist cake that makes you order and eat more! It was accompanied by my hot Toffee Nut Latte.
