What makes dinner with family better? Discounts! Used the Zomato Gold privilege here for 1+1 on food. Two of us have accounts and we were able to use it for our group. The Food: Baked Chicken The usual quarter cut of chicken roasted and served with gravy. The side of corn and carrots are put on top of the rice. Chicken Cordon Bleu Mushroom sauce … Continue reading Food: French Baker’s Salon de The – Family Dinner
Going Korean for this episode of team dinners! The Food: Spicy chicken and vegetables and CHEESE The menu recently changed so I can’t find what this is called anymore. A tiny gas burner heats up the plate and melts the cheese. Make sure to mix up everything so that the chicken and veggies get a fair share of that cheese. Chi-z Pongdang We ordered … Continue reading Food: Kko Kko – Korean Chicken and Cheese Dips
Ice cream stop before commuting on a weekday night on my way home. First heard about this shop online and what got me curious was the vegan ice cream label. They had a discount for some of their flavors that day so I took this chance to try a scoop. Deciding between two fruit dessert flavors – the Mango Biscoff and Apple Pie…via free taste! … Continue reading Food: Ambassador’s Ice Cream – Vegan Ice Cream
Dining in finally after having take-out a number times in this hip looking restaurant. The Food: Steak and Eggs The steak here was okay, meaty enough in taste but not much as in actual steakhouses. Also, it was tender enough without any significantly tough ligaments to chew on. Nice combination with the eggs. Sunnies Risotto Was craving for that creamy texture in a risotto but … Continue reading Food: Sunnies Cafe
European café-like facade combined with dark blues (almost blacks) and golds gives off a perfect vibe for having pastries or wine even in the middle of the day. Lucky to have this restaurant under the Zomato Gold partners so we were able to try their food at a buy 1 take 1 promo! The Food: Espagueties con Almondigas Roughly translates to spaghetti with meatballs, … Continue reading Food: Vanderlust – wander into food
Taiwanese dinner at Fat Fook. Yes, sausages and rice count as dinner. The Food: Taiwanese Sausage Sweet-savory-garlicky sausages with garlic slices wedged in between the sausage cuts! Not exactly a fan of fatty sausages, the ones where you can actually bite a squishy chunk of fat. Though this one is better than the others I have tried because of the flavor. I didn’t mind taking … Continue reading Food: Fat Fook – after office dine out
Spanish-Latin dishes cooked and served in a ‘Casserole’ – nah, not everything was served in a cazuela (the Spanish translation of casserole). This was another one of those month end team dinners during the first half of 2019. Quite a few seats on the first floor, but they have a loft area for a more private dining place. Maybe you could reserve the whole spot … Continue reading Food: Cazuela – Spanish Style Team Dinner
Bonding over rolls and sashimi and donburis! This is actually a backlog post, throwback to our first team dinner in the year 2019. We were seated outside to accommodate our group since a group table was not available at the indoor seating area that time. The Food: Sashimi/Sushi Platter – group dinner at a Japanese restaurant would be complete with a platter of rolls for … Continue reading Food: Shinsen – A Year Starter Team Dinner
When errands don’t go as expected and you want to treat yourself to a nice meal, it’s hard to stop yourself from splurging. Finally gave in and tried Balboa, an Italian restaurant at Edsa Shangri-la Mall. Definitely not for a budget meal. Interiors were nice and the place was not crowded at that time which helped me relax a bit albeit hungry while waiting for … Continue reading Food: Balboa – Relax in a Comforting Risotto Meal
All the way from Japan, MOS Burger opened its first branch in The Philippines at Robinsons Galleria last February – their first branch in Philippines Mountain, Ocean, and Sun – this burger joint’s name is actually an acronym huh? Mountain – dignified and noble. Ocean – wide and vast. Sun – vibrant and life-giving. Source: http://www.mosburger.com.sg/about_mos.php Oh, it has been in Japan since 1972! Dined … Continue reading Food: MOS Burger – first Store in PH
