Recipe Restaurant - Rob Ermita branch

Last week le family and I ate at my much-recommended resto, Recipe. May mga konting branches na rin ito around the metro but the one in Robinson's Place Ermita lang ang na-try ko na. The first time I ate there was almost a year ago and it was a wonderful gastronomic experience. Ang tanda ko noon, mura lang yung bill na binayaran ko. Mga P500 or less for three persons. We had 3 ulams if le memory is right.

Oh well. Buti hindi ako ang taya this time. It ballooned to over P900 for four pax with just three ulams in place. Inflation drama? Chos. But everything still tasted remarkably well.

The Bestseller: General's Chicken


Gising-Gising
What I surprised me the most: Daing Fillet
As you might have noticed, halos ubos na yung mga foodang sa akin photos. Le me kasi nakalimutang piktyuran agad. And honestly, maliit ang servings nila. The Daing Fillet has a fried egg on top which surprisingly complements the teriyaki-tasting fish. And mind you, it's so easy to cook diba?

Meanwhile, moreover, furthermore, in addition, HAHA, the Gising-Gising is not something na ipinagdiwang ng tastebuds ko. Not that hindi masarap. So-so level lang. Btw, they only serve kanin per cup, unlike other restos na may good for (insert number of pax here) in one big plate.

Sadly, we didn't get to have desserts since we were in a hurry to catch the supermarket hours dahil mga 9:30PM na ata nun.

Bottom line: Food here is great, but it won't stop me from scouting for other great recipes.

Passion Restaurant - Resorts World Manila

Better late than never! Ewan ko ba bakit inabot ng ilang buwan bago ako ganahang isulat to. Haha. But anyhow, let's go straight to the details: Le family ordered the package that's good for six people which was around P4,000 (I think). Ang susunod na mas maliit na package ay good for four, which is around P2,500? Please correct me if I'm all wrong kasi anong petcha na teh. Haha. Limot ko na, lalo na pag digits lol. Credits to my former boss for giving all of us under his team GCs Overall, kebs lang lasa. But when I say kebs, it signifies something not so "wow"-ish. Anyway, here are the photos from le bf's camera. Can't remember which one I shot, pero pag maganda, sa kanya yun for sure. Haha. Pag chakabels, mine. Peanuts: Libre ata ito. Or well, siguro naman sa P4,000 na presyo libre na ito. Haha. Labo. Pero ayun, kung may pinaka na-enjoy man ako, ito yun. Sweet sya. Di ko alam why, di ko tinanong basta masarap. At refillable. Haha ang babaw. 

TonTon Massage at The Fort

After much recommendation from le boyfriend, we finally got to try TonTon Authentic Thai Massage together at The Fort. It's a very short walk from my office in BGC. Despite its high end location, the price is surprisingly affordable. The 1-hr whole body massage is at P350 and you could choose to have back or foot massage only for the same duration and price. That's usually the discounted price for those not-so-popular massage havens in online coupon sites already, and yet it's just TonTon's original rate. Photos from their official FB   (The entire area was so dark that it would make no sense to take photos from my phone) Just like in another Thai massage parlor in Makati called Nuat Thai (P250 per hour), the intro of the whole session was a couple of minutes spent in soaking feet in warm water. Sabi ni boyfriend it might contain something else aside from water since iba yung dulas na pakiramdam once dried na ang feet. Anyway, after that, the massage starts.

Beijing Foot Spa - Greenhills

So I'm off to another blog post this Easter! This time, though I've vowed on a teaser yesterday to write 3 restos, let me divert to another spa haven this time in Greenhills, San Juan. I'm talking about Beijing Foot Spa, which is right in front of Mercury Drug in GH and a stone's throw away from G Strip and the GH mall parking lot. Photo from Greenhills.com This was a random spa pick since le boypren and I went to Tiendesitas for some window-puppy-shopping (btw, most of them look sickly and sad). Thanks to the free shuttle from Tien to GH, we got our feet on another adventure. We didn't intend to have a foot massage pero the walk we had in Tien and some strolling in GH for Sigma lenses were both exhausting! We were so tired, siguro dahil na rin sa init ng panahon, so I said na if we could find a TonTon Thai Massage branch somewhere in GH, we would go. Pero we had no more energy left to explore the place even further. We ended up in this posh-looking spa which w
