AIRLINE Meal - PAL (not bad at all)

PIES

not a fan of meat pies, but these (beef and chicken) from Bag of Beans in Tagaytay are quite pleasant

 

LOCAL italian

it is ironic that one of the best italian foods that i tasted (never been to Italy though) is in Naga City. this italian resto boasts of their traditional wood-fired brick oven in cooking their pizza. this one here is called Capriciosa, a thin-crust bomb that explodes in your mouth

the pasta was cooked perfectly, with an exquisite, elegant taste (whatever that means)

chili CRABS

this is how you finish a chili crab. a never-to-miss dish when you visit Singapura.

 

WEED

i'm not talking about something to smoke, but this sea weeds. i'd hardly eat this tasteful food before but when i learned that this is nutritious, i started eating it.

the AMBIANCE sets the appetite

everytime you eat, you'll prefer to have it in a beach, or overlooking a volcano, or at some green lushes of the countryside. the setting to enjoy food plays a crucial role in consuming it. some time ago we had dinner in Moon Garden in Tagaytay and the ambiance was just awesome.

the best lechon de leche (suckling pig) i've tasted

if you have this salad served with this view, you may just down everything

pineapple crumble to die for

where LADIES in skimpy outfit SERVE

Food is not bad here, typical fast food joint.

SEND-OFF food

Every time someone is about to leave the office for "greener pasture", we'd have the same set of food on the table during the send-off party, or in our term, "despidida". Pizza, Pasta, Wings, Ice Cream and Cake. Not so fancy, just 2 flavors of Yellowcab's, but for the ice cream we'd always get chocolate truffles and hazelnut brownie.  

the PLAY-SAFE choice

when you don't know what to have, Japanese noodle soup is the safest way to go. this bone-marrow based noodle soup is a delight. potato salad after eliminates the residue in your mouth.

good food and good service do NOT always GO TOGETHER

regardless how good your food is, when coupled with a bad service of waiters, it's like never actually dining at that moment. this happened to me the minute i sat in that Italian restaurant. this pasta and Wagyu steak were amazing but the service sucked ass.

from GREAT to eff

you can never really tell what you'll gonna get. one night i was enjoying this.. then the next night i was stuck in mcdonalds having spaghetti and chicken

sea bass with butter sauce

crab meat salad

office parties in Singapore

if you've been invited to an office party in Singapore, unless in an all-filipino one, don't expect spaghetti, fried chicken and rice. expect these...

ok, ok, there may be chicken but at least wings. and there will be more satay

this is not your typical empanada..

killing ME s-o-f-t-l-y

one of the guilty pleasures of Filipinos is eating this cholesterol-induced, deep-fried skin, intestine, or anything that would satisfy our lust for food

this should have been labeled "Chicharon Made Especially For To Kill You"

food stalls in malls (Philippine Delicacies at cheaper prices, yummy too!)

if you are a mall rat in the Philippines, you'll find these local delicacies in store - that is in a form of stalls blocking your way through the groceries.
