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.

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. ...

Casa Roces Restaurant

Ode to Quezon How does dining like a president sound to you? When I first learned that I’m about to experience such a unique food trip, it seemed that my taste buds couldn’t wait a day more. Forget the continental breakfast. I’m about to have a presidential breakfast. It all started with a simple online search that led me to the Facebook page of the Malacañang Food and Heritage Tours. As the name suggests, the tour package consists of a guided tour inside the walls of the Philippines’ presidential residence as well as a gastronomic delight where one would be served the favorite breakfast meals of some of the past and current presidents of the country. The package offers a one-of-a-kind dining experience at the posh Casa Roces Restaurant that stands just across the former Malacañang Press Office Building at the corner of JP Laurel and Aguado Streets. One can choose from the following breakfast sets: Ilocandia Flair, Ilustrado Comfort...

Toastbox, my happiness in a box!

I've been eyeing this uber-cute resto ever since I started working in The Fort, Taguig. Reason was the interior including the comfort room looks like my dream bedroom and the photos of the foodah on the menu look so deliciously sinful. But given the interiors, I knew that that resto would require me to either withdraw a handsome amount of money at my ATM or wash the dishes in exchange for payment. I was wrong. Photo from their official Facebook Fan Page One fateful day, my officemates and I finally acknowledged the fact that we'll be forever craving about this Toastbox unless we give our curiosities a chance to taste it. Sweldo day ata yun kaya malalakas ang loob. O sya, upon entrance, we went directly to the cashier where the pictures of the foodah are placed on a poster above. I saw their noodles ranging from P180-P200++ so I immediately disregarded ordering one. Besides, I'm there for the TOAST. I asked "ate" in the counter about their bestseller toast b...

Tara, Teh!
