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.

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.

Friends are bragging about how good Secret Recipe’s cheesecakes are. They are even said to be award winning. When I tried it out at the 5th Level of Edsa Shangri-la Mall, it is indeed true. I ordered for a NY Cheesecake as suggested by Louels Aguilar, a pioneer of member from The Fort Global City branch. Although her initial suggestion was chocolate cheesecake, I had too much chocolate that day, so I’ll probably order for that next time.
Their menu are labeled with “award winning”, not a marketing frenzy but in reality had won international awards. This reminded me of Pantasia, which is an award winning bread company in the animé Yakitate Ja-pan. Aside from breads they have a number of main dishes originating from around Asia such as Vietnam, Malaysia, Japan, Thailand. They also have pasta dishes with a little twist of spiciness to make it more Asian.
When I saw in the list Tom Yum Kung and Laksa I had difficulty choosing. I missed their authentic tastes that I had first tried in Singapore. Even 711’s there have Tom Yum and Laksa instant noodles would you believe? I was expecting my order to arrive in 30 minutes or more as people start swarming the restaurant after the mall’s Sunday Mass. After 10 to 15 minutes or so, I have my steaming hot Tom Yum. Wow.
