Barbara's: a Nostalgia of Spanish era

It's been a long time since my last post. I got the chance to buy few vouchers once again. This time for a nostalgic dinner buffet with a cultural show at Barbara's located in Intramuros. I brought with me my aunties who will surely enjoy such dinner. The facade of the old building remind me of an old movie scene where Filipinos dressed in Barong Tagalog and in the regal Baro't Saya   and attends a party during Spanish regime. Each corner of the establishment was well-preserved. From the stone brick floors to the Narra staircase, antique chandeliers and even the interiors of the restaurant. It feels like you traveled back in time. The dinner started at 7PM. The buffet table showcased a few Filipino dishes staple during a fiesta or special occasions. a room full of diners Molo soup a  warm and very tasty soup with few dumplings on it the buffet Includes pandan rice, pancit bihon, beef adobo, fish fillet, grilled chicken, and fried vegetabl

Sweet Pea (A Chef's Kitchen) : American comfort food at its finest

My vouchers for Sweet Pea (A Chef's kitchen) are about to expire. We have reserved it over the weekend as part of my sister's post birthday dinner. It was our first time to visit this quiant restaurant in Venice Piazza, McKinley hill, Taguig city. Sweet Pea serves mostly American comfort food. They have an array of appetizers and main dishes that will surely give you a *burp*. Taste - testing...  Hawaiian Potato salad (P 150.00) Your all-time favorite potato salad married with sweet pineapple tidbits. Their version has enough mayo dressing to coat each potato chunks. Topped with grated cheese and bacon bits, the savory taste of the salad compliments the sweet bite of the pineapple.  Beef tapa and crispy Pork belly sampler The dish comes with two kinds of dipping sauce: liver sauce and vinegar. both meats were crispy and yet suprisingly tender. No marinate used for the pork I guess (aside from the salt), you can taste the meat itself. I wonder

Arny - Dading's Peachy-Peachy: new discovery oozing with topping

Pichi-pichi is one of the many Pinoy delicacies. It is made from ground cassava, water and sugar; steamed until transluscent and topped with either cheese or grated coconut. my sister with Arny-Dading's peachy-peachy cheeeessyy!!! peachy-peachy We passed through Mindanao ave. extension and turned to Congressional ave., our driver told us that there is a place were many motorists drop by to buy pichi-pichi. :) We bought a styro pack with 10 pcs of pichi-pichi to give it a try. Well, the 60-peso snack was worth it! LOTS of cheese topping!!! and i mean lots of it!! haha ( compared to other sellers of pichi-pichi ) I have eaten lots of version of pichi-pichi. Arny-Dading's tastes like those from Amber's but less sweeter. Maybe they added some lye to it having the pichi-pichi taste like C uchinta (another kind of rice cake). Checking out their leaflet, they have many branches in Metro Manila and even some provinces. Also, they are not only selling peachy-pe

The CheeseSteak Shop: the habit forming experience

Vouchers anyone?! We all have this barat attitude inside us. Nowadays, haggling has the trend; stretching your budget up to the last peso is a WIN! I admit, buying vouchers IS addictive. :) I had a chance to get some vouchers at Deal Grocer for The Cheese Steak Shop 's original Philly cheesesteak sandwich. Many said that huge discounts and buying something like this was too good to be true... I am adventurous anyway so I gave it a shot.  <><><><><>   <><><><><> This is a STEAL!!! <><><><><>  It is my first time having Philly cheesesteak sandwich and it is  REALLY habit forming (the tag line of the shop)! The meat was soft and oozing with cheese. The 10-inch long sandwich is even good for sharing :) I bought 2 vouchers : exchanged it to a chicken and a beef version sorry, manage take picture of the ends of the sandwich, haha... lots of jalapenos on top!
