Leaving No Steaks Unturned at House of Wagyu Stone Grill

January 21, 2015 by Janey

First time I dined at House of Wagyu Stone Grill was back in 2009 at their Eastwood branch while the last time I visited was in late October last year, this time at their Greenhills branch. The restaurant still boasts of its handsome sophisticated interiors highlighted by their chiller inside the dining room which displays their select wines and Wagyu beef.

Stone Grill’s culinary focus is their Wagyu beef and its signature style of cooking the beef tabletop on top of a hot stone grill. Wagyu beef is considered a premium cut of beef due to its exquisite marbling. Beef lovers will find satisfaction in the range of Wagyu beef available at House of Wagyu Stone Grill.

Pleased to note that attentiveness and attention to detail are still apparent in their service. What I particularly like about House of Wagyu is the ability to leave the cooking preference of your steak unto your own hands.

On the Table

Oyster Rockefeller Php 500

One of my favorite apps at House of Wagyu Stone Grill is their Oyster Rockefeller. Topped with white sauce, salty bacon bites and Parmesan cheese then baked to perfection with little burnt cheese parts that I love. I can finish one whole plate by myself.

Gambas

Another one of my favorite starters

Traditional Caesar Salad Php 300

Romaine lettuce, croutons, bacon and freshly shaved Parmesan. It was light, fresh and crisp with spears of sharp flavors from the bacon and Parmesan shaves.

Benassi Ristorante Italiano

March 26, 2014 by Janey

When in Rome, do as the Romans do. I’d say, wherever, eat what the Romans eat. Italian cuisine is known to be one of the most popular in the world and even in the Philippines locals would say it is easily one of their favorites.

Italy is one of the most beautiful countries I’ve seen, with breathtaking architectural views in Rome of the Colosseum, Monument to Vittorio Emanuele II, the Castel Sant’Angelo, the dome of St. Peter’s Basilica, the Trevi Fountain and the laidback charm yet still rich with history and art of Florence in Tuscany. There is a piercing sense of culture permeating in every corner… and in every dish.

As much as I love traveling, I cannot just fly to Italy on a whim and enjoy a Roman holiday. On a craving for authentic Italian dishes, my impulse would probably take me to Benassi.

Benassi Ristorante Italiano, a pleasant 35-seater-restaurant slash café in Ortigas Center, has a warm elegance yet friendly and casual ambience. Their handsome interior has rich dark heavy woodwork for the tables and accent wall with subdued lighting. True to Italian tradition, it’s a family-operated restaurant with the husband and wife tandem of DJ and Katia Benassi-De Guzman managing it and Katia’s culinary trained mother, Rolyn, creating Benassi’s menu with her 20 years of residence in Italy and kitchen experience.

On the Table

Ravioli Con Spinaci Php 350

Spinach, ricotta and parmesan cheese

Well-cooked ravioli can be quite a sexy dish – light, delectable and luscious. It’s one of my absolute favorite pasta dishes and Benassi’s ravioli dishes capture the heart –which really resides in my mouth. The sweet and fresh tangy appeal of tomato draws me in while the spinach ravioli interplays beautifully with the mild ricotta and parmesan.

The True Mettle of Comfort Food at Kettle

November 26, 2013 by Janey

Routine brings us to welcome and dive into the unknown and take pleasure in the unfamiliar. That is precisely the reason I love traveling so much, a momentary or season-long escape, or else, hunt and enjoy varying degrees of adventure from around. Yet at the end of the day, most of us are creatures of comfort. I am and it is no less than true when it comes to food.

I find myself easing into the seat of Kettle at East Wing of Shangri-la Mall. Where many restaurants claim to dish out comfort food, only a few could push past asserting and make bold statements not out of their mouths but into yours.

On the Table

Oven Roasted Squash Soup P249

Shrimp salad, lemon oil, tarragon

Similar to how Anzani, one of my top 3 favorite Cebu restaurants, does it with a bit of flair, the actual soup gets poured from a small ceramic flask into a bowl. Roast squash suffused into the creamy liquid deliver that delightful slightly sweet taste with only a bit of tarragon scent swinging from time to time. In between the smooth creamy soup are munches of shrimp that texturally play with your tongue.

Clam Chowder P229

Served on sourdough bowl

Pork and Potato Strips P399

Crunchy pork belly and fresh potato strips, fried herbs, red onion, aioli

Like a hot woman in a tight fitting dress that shows off all the right curves who walks into a bar with long sexy strides, this appetizer cum perfect beer chow takes breaths away. It can also get you sinning all the time –with all the beer you want to guzzle down to partner this. I don’t mind getting punished with the consumption of this sin.

Fresh potato strips with webs of shaved parmesan are non-stop mouth poppers. Add to it the salty tones from the crisp pork belly that I also love nibbling and gyrate my incisors with until every whisper of fat excretes onto my wanting tongue. I realize then I was born to be bad.

Lombardi’s, East Wing Shang – Eats Italian!

June 11, 2013 by Janey

Running a bit on my heels in the spacious hallways of the East Wing of Shangri-la Mall, I made my way to the row of restaurants and stopped right in front of Lombardi’s. A well-lighted casual dining area with modern industrial look has a bar counter designed with wood panels, a chalkboard for the specials and a wall of plate displays. I could kick myself with my 3-inch pumps for being a tad bit late but what can a girl do, grocery duty was my first mission on that early Thursday evening.

I remember dining at Lombardi’s at their first branch in Robinson’s Magnolia sometime December last year with 5 other girlfriends. One of my friends there was part of the team who did the interior design for the 1^st restaurant. Some months after, here I was at their second branch ready to devour some good Italian eats.

Italian cuisine is easily a top 3 favorite –I like its extreme simplicity with many dishes having only a handful of ingredients to complete it. Italian cooking relies more on the quality of the ingredients than creating an elaborate way of cookery and prep. Lombardi’s restaurant stays true to that tradition using only top quality, albeit sometimes seasonal, ingredients.

On the Table

Mozzarella in Carroza with Arrabbiata Sauce Php 230

It’s the Italian version of grilled cheese made richer with tangy sweet arrabbiata sauce tomato and garlic component. Bite into the crusty outer layer of the loaf bread and enjoy the cheesy interior. Balance it off with a bit of acidity from the arrabbiata sauce and pull the dish together with the side salad.

Carpaccio Di Manzo Php 460

Beef carpaccio marinated in lemon and olive oil then finished off with fresh Parmesan shavings.

Originally a Venice dish, thinly sliced beef dressed in olive oil and fresh squeeze of lemon juice. Since I always pretend I am on a diet, this is the closest thing to not eating so much meat yet still enjoying my share of protein. The incredibly thin cut allows the meat to almost dissolve instantaneously inside your mouth, only retaining that delightful beefy taste sharpened by the Parmesan shaves and balanced with hints of lemon and EVOO.

Brotzeit Opens in Manila

April 4, 2013 by Janey

“Prost!” Throughout dinner, I keep hearing and exclaiming, “Prost!” toasting to the delicious Bavarian dishes in front of us and imported quality bottles of beer clinking. Brotzeit, a German Bier Bar and Restaurant, opens at the street level of Shangri-la Plaza Mall, aiming to bring the widest selection of German Beers in Manila.

Brotzeit literally translates to bread (brot) and time (zeit), referring to a traditional Bavarian expression for small meals or snacks that is usually accompanied with fresh, pure beer. As it is in the 11 branches in 7 different markets, all beers served at Brotzeit are brewed according to the German Purity Law of 1516, 100% natural, made with pure spring water and imported from Germany.

The casual dining atmosphere is accentuated with German-inspired wooden benches and a long wooden bar counter, which makes Brotzeit an ideal restaurant for families or groups of friends.

Not being a big beer drinker, although I love its malty scent, I focus heavily on the authentic Bavarian cuisines served by Brotzeit. These dishes are perfect to be accompanied by the world famous German beers.

Gerry, or GSM as the group fondly calls him, my favorite foodie seatmate as of late, seems to thoroughly enjoy his meals with his beer. I take a more conservative route and ordered the Sanpellegrino Limonata.

SM Mega Food Sale Gives Big Bites at Best Value

February 21, 2012 by Janey

Memorable food trips are best experienced with friends and what else, GREAT discounts! It’s all happening under one roof –where the best of the best fast casual, specialty restaurants, ethnic, semi-casual and pizza and burger joints converge. Yes folks, the SM Mega Food Sale is back.

I’ve got my taste buds hooked on visiting three of my favorite restaurants there and it’s also the perfect time to try out at least 2 NEW restaurants at the Atrium.

Event: SM Megamall’s Mega Food Sale

Date: February 24, 25, 26, 2012

EXPECT: HUGE DISCOUNTS and PRICE-OFFs, BUY 1 TAKE 1s, EAT ALL YOU CAN, FREE APPETIZERS, FREE DESSERTS, FREE DRINKS, AND MANY MORE!

When I was in Hong Kong for the Asia Pacific Cable Convention 2 years ago, my friend Pebbles brought us to this place called Tonkichi where I absolutely loved the Tonkatsu and Katsudon with freshly pounded-sesame sauce and unlimited cabbage salad dressed in this lip-smacking cream-based dressing that’s light and peppery… I loved the food concept, including service and ambience! So imagine little dancing happening in my heart when I found out that the same can be found in Megamall!

Yabu, House of Katsu, is located in Mega Atrium. Its interiors are casual minimalist with a modern vibe apparent in the Anime comic strip on one wall and the handsome brown leather chairs. Let’s get down to business: FOOD.

H-Cuisine by Chef Hannah, Tomas Morato

November 25, 2011 by Janey

Two Sundays ago, I attended the wedding of Sydney and Kristine (congrats you two!) and after the reception, our group decided to hang out again for dinner (of course, without the freshly married couple. I guess nothing beats honeymoon… or complete REST after all the wedding activities). We were supposed to try this Korean place in Tomas Morato that they were raving about or Café Romulo. I was leaning towards a new Korean place but also suggested H-Cuisine. I didn’t mind not being able to try out / feature a new restaurant as long as it means another opportunity to visit H-Cuisine.

My first time with the Food Club at H-Cuisine was ONLY four days before the 2^nd one. Yes, I liked it that much that it was still top of mind barely a week after. H-Cuisine is a small but charming newly-opened restaurant right beside RUB resto within the Tomas Morato area. Behind the famous “Most Awesome Angus Beef Belly” of H-Cuisine is Chef Hannah Herrera – Bagatsing, who also had other dishes that my taste buds delighted in.

Rehabilitated to Eat Peanut Butter Again

March 14, 2010 by Janey

Hello, I am Jane and I was a Peanut Butter addict.

When I was a kid up until high school, Peanut Butter is one of my comfort foods. I love my peanut butter and jelly sandwich. I love my peanut butter and banana. I love my peanut butter in a bottle. Yes, there are times, I just watch TV with a peanut butter bottle in hand and a spoon on the other.

My peanut butter ways died down a bit right after college –which is years and years ago. Other than the time I started calorie counting (when I ballooned to 130lbs), my sweet cravings (I used to be a chocoholic too!) getting plucked was another reason. Not to mention the salmonella scare a couple of years ago.

My visit to Peanut Butter Company rehashed my old ways.

Going Nuts at Peanut Butter Company

7 days after being introduced to Peanut Butter Co., I was back again at SM North (which was only my 2^nd time in the mall) to pay PB Co. another visit. This time it was a bonding session slash brunch with Didi.

I ordered my favorites from the first visit.

This time though, I remembered to order (or at least, the counter lady took note) Marshmallow Peanut Butter sandwich.

Marshmallow Peanut Butter Sandwich PHP 135

It was simply coma-inducing –perfect marshmallow taste blended with creaminess of the peanut butter.

Hello, I am Jane and I am still a Peanut Butter addict.

Going Nuts at Peanut Butter Co.

February 23, 2010 by Janey

Saturday afternoon, Bubba, Joyce and I traveled to SM North EDSA with one thing in mind –gorge on PBC food. Medium-heavy traffic in EDSA at around 3PM slowed us down a bit but we eventually reached the destination. It wasn’t difficult to find the restaurant and I’m glad that SM guards know which direction to point to.

Peanut Butter Co is smaller than I expected. There are maybe 6 coffee tables outside the store, while inside, on the right, a table upholstered against the wall gives more area to dine in. The counter greets you as you check their menu for their assorted offerings. On the left is a shelf upholstered on the wall with a display of all the intriguing PB Co. peanut butter flavors. Some of their flavors are White Chocolate, Chili, Green Tea, Curry among others. But what it lacked in space made up BIG in taste.

On the Table

BBQ Wings PHP 125

Sink your teeth into these barbeque chili wings topped with the right amount of chili peanut butter. Taste the barbeque semi-chili flavor first on the chicken meat then get a light touch of the chili peanut butter that still blends with the whole flavor. If you were a peanut butter lover, you definitely won’t find this off. On the contrary, you’d order boxes of this to go for the next bball game on TV. I dug my fingers cheerfully into the box and grabbed myself a second and third helping. I couldn’t resist licking my fingers.

Classic Spaghetti PHP 135

Sun dried tomato peanut butter, meat sauce. The classic spaghetti flavor still glides upfront more than the semi-sweet peanut butter taste but you’d taste it –positively. Counter play of the meat sauce and the sweetness of the peanut butter –it’s certainly something to try. It was good enough for us three. We kept twirling ourselves a forkful.

Elvis the King Sandwich PHP 155

Crunchy peanut butter, bacon, banana –I guess I was expecting a lot from this being the highlight of Spanky’s email. It satisfied yes. Suggestion on improving it –thinner banana slices, crispy crunchy bacon, grilled toasty “pressed” (for easy handling and not the mushy hard to hold) sandwich. That would be a wonderful rapture of semi-crunchy sandwich with the softness of the banana, sweetness of the peanut butter and saltiness of crispy bacon.

I remember making an Elvis sandwich in 2006. The Sabiclub team was in Baguio for the weekend to support me during the grand opening event of Station 168 Internet Café Baguio branch. The next day, I volunteered to cook breakfast for everyone with the help of my office best buddy, Carlo G. I toasted the sandwich bread, plastered it with peanut butter spread, crispy bacon (that Carlo fried –I’m not big on frying), and instead of banana, a soft egg mixture I concoct that Bubba loves. Most found it weird, but funny that the whole plate of that was finished anyway. I think it was Mon (were you already part of Sabi then?) who commented that it’s quite unusual but it’s good. He didn’t sound convincing. I personally think it was yummy though 😉

PB Burger Sandwich PHP 185

Sesame peanut butter, lettuce, tomato, peanut cucumber mayo –Bubba’s order. He loved it that he only shared one bite with me and one bite with Joyce. Nothing out of extraordinary for me but I like the sesame peanut butter. It was delish and complements perfectly with the burger taste.

Box of Chips PHP 65 with Wasabi Mayo PHP 35

Fried seasoned potato slices –I now know where to get my fill of mojo potatoes.

Brewed Coffee Short PHP 45

Anything that is creamy yummy peanut buttery taste really sets the mood right. Price is really reasonable with most of the items less than PHP150. I think we spent a little over PHP 700 and there were three of us.

I’m now watching what I eat since I’m preparing for our Bali trip and I hope to shed some fat off my mid-section but I do allow myself to indulge at least once a week, preferably weekends. My indulgence for next week will be the same as last Saturday’s –PB Co!!! I hope you open a branch in Ortigas or San Juan area.

I thought I also ordered Marshmallow Peanut Butter sandwich (PHP 135) but I don’t think the counter lady was able to include that in our order. I don’t mind, I will surely be back next Saturday with Didi and Fran for another rich and creamy Peanut Butter-heaven brunch at Peanut Butter Co. Unwrap an exercise in indulgence.

Peanut Butter fanatics, try it and let me know what you think! 😉

Wagyu Stone Grill

August 20, 2009 by Janey

From the same group that brought you Melo’s, Wagyu Stone Grill is situated at the far end corner of the new Eastwood Mall. Despite not in main sight of the general vicinity of the other restaurants, Stone Grill is creating a major buzz in its little corner. The glass door leads you to its reception where chillers for wine and Wagyu beef are visible on each side. The high ceiling, wooden floors and low lights emphasize the handsome sophisticated interior, as well as the pint of brown and white.

Stone Grill’s culinary focus is their Wagyu beef and its manner of cooking. Wagyu beef is considered premium cut of beef grown from the Wagyu breed of cattle that was before exclusively raised in Kobe, Japan. It is world-renowned due to its exquisite marbling, which is usually graded at 12, compared to American Prime beef graded at 6. Despite the intense marbling that translates to higher fat content, the fat is different from more traditional cattle meat since its mono-unsaturated fat.

On the Table

Green Peas Soup

The order of Wagyu comes with 2 orders of Soup of the Day. The green color sets off an impressionable dreadful tone –reminiscent of vegetable soups kids avoid. It is quite suggestive of bland green peas pureed into a soup with croutons on top. Despite lacking in excitement, the warm potage was still a welcome enjoyment before the main entrée.

Pasta Pomodoro PHP 350

Their pasta pomodoro is a very simple pasta dish with plump fresh tomatoes as its sauce. Spaghetti is cooked al dente with fleshy semi-sweet ripe tomatoes that have a lot of sweet tangy flavor.

Chey Samantha Wine PHP 450

French wine that has a hint of raspberry and cherry, very light and enhances the taste of the pasta

Wagyu -New York Strip 350g PHP 1,750 ++ (+ 12% Tax)

The wait staff approaches the table with a reddish pink slab of marbled meat, lean and not heavily marbled. He places it on top of the scorching stone block and advises us not to let the meat remain too long on one side. Watch the stone grill in action as it sears the wagyu and create an outer brown crust differentiating the tanned (medium) against the pink (rare) part.

The siding on a white plate included deep fried potato wedges that had the right amount of saltiness and tasty vegetables cooked in olive oil, crunchy soft texture.

The stone grill allows flexible cooking variations –rare, medium, medium-rare and medium-well depending on your liking. Be sure to be aware of how soon the meat cooks. Seize it from the stone once desired doneness is attained. Rare to medium-rare can release that inner carnivore in you.

This very rich cut of meat should deservedly be the most expensive cut as the Wagyu delicately melts in your mouth in rich luxurious quality.

I prefer my meat with a tad more fat in it, but since Stone Grill’s version is on the lean side, flavor can be quite limiting, thus seasoning with a pinch of natural sea salt and pepper is only but likely. The exceptional meat has that velvety goodness that bleeds with mouth-watering delight.

350 grams is equivalent to 12 ounces, which is good to share for a hungry two. The price at PHP 1,750 (approx. US $ 35) is not so bad. The only gripe is prices are exclusive of VAT, which sort of blindside you a little despite the fine note on the menu (aren’t menu prices required to be VAT-inclusive already? The only thing one should calculate for is SC –service charge). 220 grams go for PHP 1,095. The dinner set us back by PHP 3,000.

Wagyu combinations are also available. Pair your 180g New York Strip/Top Sirloin/Ribeye Wagyu with choice of one dish: Pasta Pomodoro, Pasta Alfredo, pan seared scallops, fish and chips, siding of the day, or king prawn. The serving is good for one so it might be more prudent to order the meat and pasta separately to share.

Adequate service is apparent with the wait staff being very attentive with a smile to your table needs without being intrusive and overeager. Despite a not so extensive menu, Stone Grill is a must-try for beef lovers since it offers excellent Wagyu that increases eating quality through the beef’s tenderness, juiciness and naturally enhanced flavor where cooking can be left unto your hands.

*Thanks Bubba for this Friday night dinner date.

Amici

August 7, 2009 by Janey

After Butch and Marie’s wedding reception, it was time for some good poker action.

We were able to play two full games. First game, Eric won while Jim placed second. 2^nd game, a come-from-behind win was secured by Woo, while I lost my chip lead and placed second.

4 hours of poker and we were famished. While Eric and Made headed to SM North to look for a toy gift, Woo, Bubba and I headed to Amici for dinner.

I first tried Amici at its original location at the Don Bosco canteen in Pasong Tamo. Salesian Italian missionary Fr. Gianluigi Colombo founded the Amici di Don Bosco Incorporated in 2001. The original set-up was canteen-style, self-service and fast food. Its claim to fame is the homemade Italian gelato that is relatively affordable. It has since expanded to 4 branches (Makati, Timog, Greenhills, and Megamall) when the Red Ribbon group bought the concept and brand.

The recently opened Amici branch in Greenhills still holds the concept but with a more modern polished look. The host at the door directs you to the table and hands you the menu, but it’s still pretty much self-service as you have to line up at the counter to order and pay for your food.

On the Table

Tutta Carne PHP 290

Meat lover’s delight in a pizza includes Italian sausage, ham and pepperoni. The thin layer of soft crust with nominal amount of tomato base and meat is good enough for its price.

Canneloni Agli Spinaci PHP 195

An Amici classic favorite! Pasta tubes filled with spinach and ricotta cheese topped with creamy tomato sauce is a must have order when at Amici’s. It’s pasta rich in creamy ricotta cheese and spinach that melts in your mouth with such smooth goodness.

Spaghetti White Vongole Gamberetti PHP 215

Our famous sautéed mixed seafood on al dente spaghetti in olive oil. Amici’s version that evening was a little bit salty for my taste. I like the generous amount of seafood and garlic that coats the al dente spaghetti pasta.

Roast Chicken PHP 190

Rosemary half chicken baked to perfection and served with vegetables. This is the highlight of the meal on the table. The chicken was good to share for three people. Take a waft of the rosemary aroma, as the dish is place on the table. The chicken was moist and tender at the same time that it’s flavorful with every hint of rosemary.

Spaghetti Aglio Olio E Pepperoncino (Woo’s Order)

Mild spicy pasta dish with a rich flavor of smoked salmon

More and more people are drawn to Amici as a go-to-place for Italian dining especially with their semi-family style dishes. Food is relatively enjoyable and the price decent. Their gelatos can brighten up any gloomy day even if it’s raining cats and dogs.

Heroic Food at 1521 Restaurant

July 4, 2009 by Janey

How important are the numbers 1521 to Filipinos? Your high school and grade school Philippine History classes might come in handy –it was the year that the Philippines was discovered by the Spaniards. 1521 Restaurant is the tribute of the owners to their own heroes in the kitchen. The restaurant showcases their families’ recipes and culinary heirlooms.

Open the door to a very clean, minimalist and retrospective ambience. Beige table and chairs and art sketches on the white wall bring us back to the time when life was indeed simple and so were our taste.

One look at the menu and any Filipino will be very intrigued.

On the Table

No See Sisig PHP 215

Generous serving of fried crisp empanaditas filled with crunchy minced pork and liver pate. Served with sinamak, cream cheese and sweet chili sauce. It whets the appetite perfectly and readies your desire for more gastronomic experience. It had just the right saltiness of the pork and I love how easy it was to eat the sisig filled empanada. Enhance the flavor with the sweet chili sauce and it gives you a totally different essence on how to take your sisig.

Swak na Swak Chicharon Bulaklak PHP 210

Deep-fried savory pork intestines that’s crunchy on the outside but soft on the inside. The dark chicharon bulaklak wasn’t really looking appetizing and there wasn’t any “flower/fan” chicharon that one’s accustomed to seeing when ordering this dish. It was mostly big pork intestines. Trying their version left me to forget the fan-like crispy chicharon and take pleasure in its salty and savory goodness. The dish comes with burong kamias and sinamak. The sweet and sour play of sinamak and the kamias buro blends perfectly with the tad saltiness of the appetizer. Smack your lips in a cholesterol delight!

Gata Get This Chick PHP 245

Deboned quarter leg in Adobo twice cooked in vinegar then in coconut milk. I was surprised by how small this dish was when the front of the menu claims that servings portions are quite big. It seemed to be a small piece of chicken leg with very little sauce too. Adobo flavor on the chicken meat was barely tasted but the coconut milk base was yummy. Reminds me a bit of chicken curry. We liked it but the serving size could have been better. It’s only good for one –and not even a “hungry” one.

Jasmine Rice (2) PHP 30

Longga-Kalabasa Carbonara PHP 215

Spaghetti topped with crispy Tagalog Garlic longganisa over a creamy squash sauce. I find the taste of the cream pumpkin base including the combo a bit unusual for my taste in pasta. The longganisa wasn’t crispy and was on the bright red side. Bubba didn’t seem to mind and said that he enjoyed the pasta dish.

Bonggang Bonggang Binagoongan PHP 240

My mom followed shortly so I had to order an extra viand. I perused on their “Anyhow Liempo,” their take on one of my favorite grilled dishes but decided to get the Binagoongan since my mom likes Bagoong. Their version is deep-fried super crunchy pork sitting on top of local shrimp paste. Garnished with strips of manibalang mango. Alongside the appetizers, this was also a winner. The pork had crunchy skin but very soft velvety meat.

Other entrées that are must try on the next visit:

Tom Yum Inasal PHP 230

Grilled Teriyaki Chicken (deboned quarter leg) in reduced Tom Yum Soup

Satay Kang Bata Ka PHP 230

Young chicken in a lechon-Davao marinade and smothered with Satay sauce

Spritely Squid Adobo PHP 245

Tender cuttlefish or squid rings cooked in vinegar, soy sauce, peppercorns and Sprite.

The ambience and food warps you to a time where delicious cuisine can simply make this nation smile. I’m glad to be living in the 21^st century tasting honest to goodness Filipino food at 1521 Restaurant.

Thursday Food Club: Pizzeria Toscana

June 27, 2009 by Janey

The usual suspects of the Thursday Food Club met yet again last Thursday for dinner. This time it was Didi’s turn to choose the restaurant and since she was craving for pizza (like we all were after reminiscing about the pizza event we attended the other week), her choice was Pizzeria Toscana.

Bubba and I have eaten here before and liked the comfortable homey ambience. Like usual authentic Greek/Italian/Persian restaurants where the whole family is involved in the business, Filipino owners Chef Angel Aban and former bank director Anthony Parungao decided to dedicate their time to the restaurant business –a lifelong dream for the two who are equally passionate about food. I remember that during our first visit, our table attendant who was the son, told us how inspired his parents were about starting this restaurant.

Image Source: Fran

There is a younger boy now who attended to our table and he fancied us with his magic tricks. He reminded me of “me” when I used to do magic tricks as my “show and tell” project in speech class both in high school and college. It was cute and he was nice enough to let me show him a trick (I was really rusty but he appreciated it).

On the Table

Pumpkin Soup (2) PHP 150 (?)

Since the dinner schedule was pushed back an hour later 8pm, Bubba and I were really hungry and couldn’t resist taking a bite at home. And yes, we took more than a bite. We even nicked the plate. And so, we didn’t order much this time around.

Didi and Fran both ordered pumpkin soup for their starters.

Pizza Rustica PHP 310

Thin crust pizza with anchovies, pimiento and black olives.

Pasta Salmone PHP 260

Cream-based pasta with smoked salmon. Fran really loved the pasta. I took a bite to taste it and it was pretty good al dente cream pasta with bits of salmon.

Gelato Balsamico PHP 70

Even if there was no room anymore, I couldn’t resist not getting Gelato Balsamico. This was after all the most memorable for me during the first visit… I still love it. Some might find it weird on their first try ice cream with sour balsamic taste and garnished with slop of mint, but it’s really good and transports me to the mountainous picturesque Tuscany.

Gelato Blueberry PHP 70

Bubba finished this all by himself and didn’t even let Didi, Fran or me try. Boo. Selfish.

Thanks Fran for the Baguio pasalubong!

Potluck and Teatime at Racq’s Pad, Columns

June 26, 2009 by Janey

Saturday evening was spent at Racq’s pad in Columns. This dinner was planned way ahead, before Chai’s flight to Vietnam last week.

Racq and Chai ordered 2 pizzas from Shakey’s while Bubba and I brought pasta and dessert.

Chai highlights her recent travel to Vietnam and Phnom Penh Cambodia. She was terrified during her first night in Vietnam and wanted to go home. Backpacking alone is fun but I guess it’s also scary. She met a few English guys-students from the bus ride to Phnom Penh who were also backpacking and that made her feel more secure. Despite the misfortunes of leaving her camera charger and cab drivers making her pay thrice as much, she really enjoyed her me-time during the trip.

I still hope she went to Siem Reap so we could have exchanged more stories surrounding the enchanting rustic beauty of Angkor Wat. There’s always next time. Nevertheless, we shared similar observations about Ho Chi Minh City and the people of Cambodia.

After dinner, I volunteered to wash the dishes. Racq showed us around Columns and the facilities. It’s quite nice and I like that security is tight. The amenities include a well-equipped gym, swimming pools, function rooms and game room. Racq suggested having teatime by the pool but since it was drizzling a bit, we detoured to the game room.

Teatime at the game room was fun. Racq had these cute white tiny teacups with handle and an accompanying saucer (Note to self: Open the box of teacup set I bought in college. But those are colorful with words, I really liked the white ones Racq has so I probably will scout something similar with a nice feminine ceramic old-style tea pot to match). The game room was really quiet except for 2 others peacefully playing billiards. We talked about make-up, travel, events and relationships. I admire Racq’s open-mindedness about relationships and being a strong independent woman. She learns from her past and moves on. It was another evening of good conversation. I had one the other night with Fran and Didi and few days after, with Eric, Pat, Fred and Madz. Friends really add to one’s character and you can also pick a thing or two from their learnings in life and share with them your life’s learnings too.

Love this new simple blue dress I got. It has received a lotta compli 🙂

It was quite funny to have Bubba join our tea session being a big guy holding a little teacup and sipping from it. He was supposed to go training but since he was already late, he decided to stay. I don’t mind having him there though even if we are all girls. His friends are my friends and my friends are his.

Chris is a ladies man.

We had such a nice view of Makati from the game room. What a lovely evening.

Thanks Racq for hosting!

Trio and Kaskade Event

June 16, 2009 by Janey

Bubba and I met up with my former colleagues (dubbed as the Sabi Peeps) last Saturday. It was a slow weekend for us but I was glad that we stayed in Manila during the long weekend break that enabled us to meet with the Sabi group for dinner. Camille, Carlo, Shie, and Martin was going to the Kaskade event staged at Embassy Superclub. Since Bubba and I are straying from the club scene nowadays, we opted not to go but we joined them for dinner.

Camille was on time and we picked her up first before heading to Trio. Carlo and Shiela followed shortly while Martin was fashionably late because he went shopping earlier that evening. Gosh, how I miss this group!

Carlo and Shiela shared their Camiguin getaway as well as their trip in Boracay. We also reminisced the office antics before… It was a fun evening of drinks and great company. Planning a Subic Tree Top Adventure trip soon for the whole group (hello Yssah and Mon, don’t be strangers!)

One Fun Saturday Night

September 22, 2008 by Janey

Saturday, Bubba spent most of the day attending his medical appointments –one was with his ortho doctor in Cardinal Santos and the other with his allergologist in Makati Med. I spent my afternoon cooking for the potluck dinner with the “berks.” That dinner idea started when we attended Ann and Made’s surprise birthday party for Dru and Eric last September 13. Since Bubba and I have been attending pua tiong chiu dinners lately, we suggested that we do one with friends. They were game with it so the Saturday dice-throwing get-together happened.

I cooked pasta (I’m sure Bubba is so sick of), curry rice and choco crisp. I need to extend my menu list or else I’d be cooking the same stuff over and over again. Ann cooked Buffalo wings, which were delicious and had crispy skin on it. There were a lot of food on the table –Heaven’s pork bbq with a delish sauce, lumpia shanghai, king prawns with cheese and herbs, and Razon’s halo halo.

I asked everyone on the table if they’re interested to play Laser Tag. Eric played the game at Market Market and we are planning a Laser Tag get-together this coming weekend. I cannot wait! Dinner made everyone full. While the table is still being fixed for the dice-throwing game, Eric shared their photo activity at Bohol that we tried to duplicate. It was really fun. Each couple had their idea of the “double” shot.

Around 9pm, the dice-throwing game ensued and this was where everyone was laughing hysterically. From the onset where Made had to call her mom to verify the rules of the game to Eric calling his mom to revalidate. That was so cute. Made, Buch and Marie gathered a lot of ang paos (red money envelope). Buch actually started slow with no wins but came out as the biggest winner of the night. Dru had to check the rules on pc, 2 flights of stairs up, twice. Jim got 4 (fours), which qualified him the top prize. Jim had to go up two deck of stairs to check too. We played a joke on him, faking that Buch actually got 6 (six) thus snatching the top prize from him. Everyone had to act and Buch had to roll one dice to make the sound. Jim believed it. I really doubled over laughing –my mascara making a mess on my face.

The dice-throwing game finished past 10pm. A poker game followed afterwards and boy was I happy! I haven’t played in 2 years!!! With 9 of us playing, with 4 re-buys, we finished around 2am. Eric won first place, with Dru playing the last hour on Eric’s behalf. Placed a few bad calls and folds, but I won second place by a hairline.

Pizzeria Toscana

May 26, 2008 by Janey

Bubba tricked me to thinking that we were going boxing at Elorde Gilmore Branch, but he actually made a dinner reservation at Pizzeria Toscana that Thursday night. It’s a small quaint restaurant in San Juan that boasts of homemade Tuscan cuisine. Prices are inclusive of 12% VAT, no service charge which is a great thing. Pizzeria Toscana is family owned and has a relaxed and comfortable ambiance similar to hole-in-the-wall Italian cafés. It only has 6 small tables with 30 maximum seating capacity. The white walls are surrounded with framed photos of celebrities in black and white and old Hollywood. There is a small TV set propped high in one corner, which is playing a DVD of An Affair to Remember.

toscan5

On the Table:

toscan1

Alla Angelica PHP170

The usual pasta angelica with tomatoes, garlic and basil, which was served with spaghetti noodles instead of angel hair

Quattro Formagi PHP295 (Half)

Medium sized pesto based pizza. Bubba really liked the thin crust better than Bellini’s or Segafredo but I have to disagree. I like traditional tomato based pizza than the pesto based.

toscan3

Salmone PHP295 (Half)

I love the chunks of fresh salmone in the pizza.

Bacalla PHP250

Salted cod in tomato stew. Served with marble potatoes

Blueberry Cheesecake PHP100

The blueberry cheesecake had a generous blueberry topping, which always initiates a good impression. The cheesecake will satisfy any craving for sweet and cheese delight.

Gelato Balsamico PHP70

The highlight of the dessert menu has to be the Gelato Balsamico. It is Gelato in Vanilla flavor drizzled with Balsamic vinegar. It had a fruity flavor, sweet and tangy. It’s refereshingly weird at first but the taste grows on you. It was served in a cute and fun uneven glass that kept moving around.

toscan8

Other interesting dishes in their menu:

toscan9

Pizza Regolare translates to your regular pizza. Please allow 20-30 minutes serving time because crust is made from freshly baked dough. They have the usual flavors of Pepperoni, Basic Cheese.

toscan10

Pizza Esagerato from the word exaggerated. This translates to a double layer of ingredients on your pizza!!! Twice the amount of meat, cheese and all the works!

toscan7

Doppio Pizza means double-crusted pizza in which they have two flavors: Doppio Classico – roast beef, mushroom and double mozzarella cheese and Doppo Diavolo in sealed double crusted pizza –filled with hot rag-out bacon and mozzarella PHP 475.
