Indian Fix!

A simple celebration turns out to be a blast! A week before my birthday, I invited the "chupachups gang" to have dinner to celebrate the 27 years of my existence is this happy but crazy world. I wanted something simple but different; I also want a quaint place that's good for dining and conversation. And I found this, Indian Restaurant in Tagaytay. 

That afternoon of October 2, we met up at Glorietta. And as usual three creatures were late! I, Melvin and Gab hopped ourselves into Lester's car and a road trip is set to happen again. Funny thing was, even before we left Makati we got into a little trouble and found ourselves with two Ayala guards, because of a traffic violation. But after a couple of minutes with some bucks out of our pocket and discovered the acting prowess of Lester we continued the journey. There was another roadblock, THE TRAFFIC! Do I need to tell more about it? Nah, I don’t want to…

Dome Cafe

After having a feast at Fish & Co., we decided to have coffee and tea at Dome Cafe. I had chamomile tea and all of them had cappuccino. I like having tea after a huge and heavy meal, so calming and will tend to make u feel that you are not so full. Although i had to match it with a dessert, a carrot cake.





Fish & Co.


Late afternoon last Tuesday, I decided to satisfy my gastronomic appetite for sea edibles. It wasn’t our first choice because there were other restaurants around which also serve good selection of seafood. But today, I get to be the boss =)

CBTL: Banana Chocolate and Honey-bran Muffin

I can't remember the exact date when I splurged into something realllllllly good. All I could remember was, it was a busy morning at work. I was so helpless together with a number of my colleagues and it seemed like work was forever. *Sigh!*

To break the spell, here’s what I did: Went down the building and treated myself a large Chocó-banana iced blended drink and honey-bran muffin at Coffee Bean & Tea leaf. Went up again after, took a few inhales and exhales and of course took a picture of my comfort food that morning and worked like hell for the rest of my effin shift.

Brother's Burger

It's lunch time (yeah! had my lunch past 2pm..) I usually bring my packed lunch so i would not spend too much and stay away from those fast food edibles. I was about to have my lunch when one of the colleague invited me to have lunch out, i reluctantly said yes! So there you go, i kept my food untouched!

We went down of the building then walk few steps and found ourselves in Brother's Burger! Yes, Brother's Burger! I instantly recall that last Tuesday, i was dying to eat at Wham Burger but on my way to this Burger chain, another restaurant fooled me (Secret Recipe) so instead of eating my favorite burger to my dismay i had a so so Asian cuisine. That's the main reason i didn't refused my friends offer! Whheeeee excited!

I quickly suggested my friend (Yazz) to try their strawberry milkshake(P100). It's a must try! I had Brother's Burger(P105), Onion rings(P60) and soda(P40). The burger was a bit small for its price but the taste was oh so yummy! I instantly, opened number of ketchup sachets and mayonnaise and grabbed my first bite! And i couldn't just stop! Onion rings were big and crunchy! Good match with warm and tender burger! My friend ordered the same burger and strawberry milkshake! She was not disappointed and enjoyed my suggestion of trying the milk shake.







Overall rating 4 out of 5! The food was great and the price is reasonable but cleanliness was not impressive, there was just like 6 customers but the tables were not clean and the floor was dirty!

A so so Secret Recipe..

It was my mom's birthday last January 26 and i wasn't able to buy a present for her days before because i was busy with a lot of things (nah! what an excuse..) But anyway, that afternoon i decided to go out and buy something for my beloved mom. I went to Shangri-la Plaza in Mandaluyong to look for a perfect give that would fit my budget.

Around 5:30 PM when i got there, i quickly moved so i would be able to find that perfect gift for her. So.....after an hour for looking around at Rustan's, exhausted and with feet aching i started to feel that i need to eat. I then, thought of eating at Wham's Burger (i love burgers by the way). But while walking towards the food chain (2nd to the last level of the mall if i'm correct), a restaurant caught my attention and so i changed my mind.
I started looking at their menu outside the restaurant then all of a sudden found myself seating on one of their pretty comfortable couches.

The Secret Recipe, a restaurant which caters to people who has cravings for Asian fusion cuisine. Basically, the interior was very great! Free wi-fi is a plus plus for me!





The menu...there's a wide selection of Asian Fusion Cuisine, cakes and beverages from juices, shakes and coffee. But to my surprise, it is a bit pricey!




Time to dig in..


Mee Gureng, a Malay inspired noodle dish, simple but surprisingly satisfying (P280). My take on their best selling noodle dish as per the waiter, it was just a so so noodle dish, the taste was a bit spicy (a tolerable one!) Serving size was big enough, it has shrimp, squid on it. Mee Gureng is like a yakisoba, so you get what i mean?? The only difference is it has tomato sauce, i think and it's spicy!



I also tried Noodle in Tom Yang Kung (P280), flat rice noodles in our very famous spicy tom yang soup with kung prawns. The soup was great, noodles were cooked perfectly but still spicy. So if you are not a big fan of spicy edibles so go for this one. It has two big prawns in it! Just like any other tom yang soup.



The last but definitely not the least, Watermelon Juice(P90). A freshly squeezed watermelon over ice. Nice treat! I loved it!

Overall damage, P650 without service charge. And my overall rating, 3.5 out of 5. The restaurant is very cozy, a so so taste of the offering and a bit pricey. Next time i wanna try their cakes and coffee concoction.
