Munchtown, Everything’s Waiting For You

 

Idle time is something I can’t stand.  I’d rather be eating than be idle.  That’s why I’m game, set and match to try any new activity, learn a new skill or pick up a new hobby.  The only time I can sit still is when I’m watching a movie.  And even then, I’d still be eating.

Growing up exposed to all kinds of films available to me at my Tita’s video store, I became a movie fanatic.  In college, I would not let a week go by without watching at least one or two movies –if not, all that’s showing.  My boyfriend (MB) then also loved catching the latest flick.  Greenbelt 3 Cinema was our favorite for a number of reasons but firstly, the concessionaires can deliver food inside the theater.

We’d get lemon grape juice and corn dog from Muscle Beach, some Wrapwich (which I think we’ve tried all variants), Wasabi popcorn and Wasabi Tofu Chips (and almost everything on their menu) from Taters, burgers from Sliders, and potato skins from Tender Bobs with cheese sauce and sour cream.

He’d even walk to Segafredo just to get me my Margherita or Napoletana pizza with a request of a slightly toasted crust.  Yes, I eat pizza inside the cinema.  One whole box.  And yea, even rice sometimes.  I simply cannot let dimness get in the way.  Others follow their heart, I follow my craving.

Munchtown opened at the Cinema level of Greenhills Promenade and I got pretty excited since a brilliant mind is behind it, Chef Robby Goco.  I can’t deny the fact that I’ve frequented (became my 2nd home) the restaurants that have opened with him at the helm.

Love the fresh French fries where each is covered fairly with the wet ingredients.  The specks of red from the paprika and green from the dill add a bit of appeal while the meat candy, that is bacon bits, added the charm.

Achiote Taqueria, Rockwell

Bubba and I had a pretty busy schedule these past months juggling time in between work and separate travels (more on this on a separate post).  We were working even during the 4-day long weekend.  I was in Hong Kong for the annual Asia Pacific Cable Convention but I was working no doubt, attending left and right meetings while rushing a few things over email on launches set for November.

November 7, which was also a non-working holiday, was the only time we were able to somewhat relax and enjoy unusually quiet Makati –which we avoid due to relentless traffic especially during the “ber” months.  I heard about Achiote Taqueria from fellow foodie, Joel Yaptinchay, who also recommended another Mexican place at the Fort.  Since Chef Robby Goco of Cyma and Charlie’s fame is behind the newly-opened Achiote Taqueria, I checked it out first.
