Japanese Seafood Spaghetti Soup: An All-time Favorite in UCC Park Cafe

On 12.11.09, In Food, By mylifejoys

There is a new branch of UCC Park Cafe in Burgos Circle of Bonifacio Global City. Together with my friend Abigail, who ordered Seafood Penne Au Gratin and Blueberry with Banana smoothie, I ordered for my all-time favotite – Japanese Seafood Spaghetti Soup and of course, Coke.

There were also coffee bean and ground coffee selections by the door entrance, which are interesting. The place was cozy and was decorated in good taste. Will definitely be back one of these days to try out some of their other dishes and coffees.

Ginisang Tuna sa Spaghetti

Yep, it’s ginisa… the usual Pinoy way. If there is study on every Filipino household about our cooking habits, aside from frying (prito), sauteing (gisa, ginisa) will surely top the list.

From Wikipedia:

Sautéing is a method of cooking food that uses a small amount of fat in a shallow pan over relatively high heat. Unlike pan-searing, sautés are often finished with a sauce made from the pan’s residual fond.

In addition to what I’ve cooked earlier, grilled chicken with mushroom sauce, another dish completes today’s dinner. This time it’s a pasta dish cooked the Pinoy way.

Tender Bob’s: Meat n’ Meet

On 11.15.08, In Food, By mylifejoys

Whenever I am in Shangri la Mall, I am tempted to eat in Tender Bob’s. The reason I don’t is that the place is very inviting to spend with friends or family. And today is such a perfect time to brave the long queue of patrons in this side of the mall.

With my Mom, Julia, Tita and Yaya Meann, we spend a very special time with a dear friend, Debbie, who is visiting from Bacolod.

I liked the Angus Rice, a house specialty, of fried rice with Angus beef. Also the potato skin with the tartar sauce. Tender Bob’s offer a menu that caters to diverse age groups. Dads and Moms can have their steaks or pasta, salads for vegetarians or on diets, Burgers for Ate and Kuya, Chicken Fingers or Fish and Chips for kinds.

California Pizza Kitchen: An Extention Of Our Dining Room

On 09.21.08, In Food, By mylifejoys

In our homes where having a family meal where not only table space matters (that is why our parents, or we, for that matter, invest in big dining tables) but also a room for us to talk and animate our stories, branches of California Pizza Kitchen aka CPK offers a dining place away from home.

If you need good food for weekend family treats, there’s a lot that Metro Manila can offer. But this place doesn’t boast of good food alone but also “the space” that a family needs. For kids who cannot stay in place, the space is big enough not to disturb other diners. This is not our first time in CPK, in fact, I can’t remember how many times we’ve been to this branch.

People can talk at normal voice levels. I can remember one time in a different place when there is this group of diners talking about some stressful work-related topics and I can’t help but hear them. Besides, if I lean back a little further, my head will touch the other person behind me. I was there to relax for the weekend, for Pete’s sake. Then all I am hearing are annoying stories of their boss.

Amici: Where Friends Eat & Meet

On 07.26.08, In Food, By mylifejoys

Fresh, plentiful, reasonably-priced, and casual as a trattoria should be, Amici (means friends in English) is unpretentious in its line of serving Italian food. It is different than some Italian-sounding restaurants that mistakenly label themselves as such just because pasta and pizza are in the menu. Who would have thought that there is such a dining pleasure in Don Bosco Compound along Arnaiz Avenue, Makati City. If you are in Walter Mart, cross Chino Roces and next to a Merriam Webster bookstore is Amici.

As I entered , I noticed big tables, that are suggestive of large group of diners or simply sharing a large table with others and surprisingly be comfortable still with strangers in a single table. As it was still early in the morning when I came in with a dear friend, Raziel, we ordered breakfast set of Italian Sausage, ham and cheese omelet (or bell pepper and mushroom), garlic rice (or French bread), and brewed coffee (or hot chocolate).
