Poutine

Their signature dish is the thick-cut fries served with beef gravy and cheese curds. 

Wagyu Burger

Simple but good is a direct description of this Kitayama beef in sesame bun, decorated in a layer of melted cheddar cheese, house sauce and a spread of tomato relish.

S’mores ice cream

I love the grainy-not-smooth texture of it and the big chocolate pieces. 

Canadian comfort food at its best!

If i weren’t really full yet, i would’ve finished everything! Sarap!

TRATTORIA POGGIO ANTICO

Trattoria Poggio Antico

1. Prosciutto con Melone
2. Crespella del Poggio Antico
3. Pomodor e Mozzarella Crostini
4. Oyster Sur Pate di Fegato 

I felt like ratatouille the rat while dining here… Each little piece on the plate makes me wish for a heck of a lot more. The combination of ham and melon drizzled with a little olive oil; the melting of crepe stuffed with ham and cheese topped with mushrooms in truffle oil; the crunch of mozzarella crostini with a slice of tomato; and the heavenly taste of oyster on a bed of liver pate; every morsel was a song celebrating in perfect harmony.

Class. Elegance. and Yummyness!

L.E.S. Bagels

L.E.S. (Lower East Side) Bagels offers an endless combination of bagels and cream cheese creations. There’s plain, wheat, black Russian, pumpernickel, salt, onion, cinnamon, raisin, garlic and “everything” bagels, which you can pair with cheese blends like Plain, Scallion, Garlic and Chive, Vegetable, Herb, Jalapeno Cheddar, Caramelized Onion Raisin, Bacon Cheddar, Sundried Tomato and Baisl, Sundried Tomato and Olive, Blueberry, Strawberry, Apple Cinnamon and Lox.

Of course I didn’t try anything with onion or garlic in it but I tried all the rest. The “sweet” blends top my list…. I was also curious on trying out “Lox” but unfortunately, it wasn’t served during the tour. Oh well… all the rest were still AWESOME!!!!

Vanilla Cupcake Bakery

You may have noticed that I currently have this thing for cupcakes. So when I came back to Manila, I didn't miss the opportunity to satisfy my craving. I saw this newly opened store at Glorietta and it looked too cute. I must admit that the interiors caught my attention more than the cupcakes.

Candy Cane - 90php
Me and my love for mint made me order this cupcake. Uhmmmm.... The only mint flavor was the candy cane itself. Besides that, nadah!

Valrhona Chocolate - 85php
My Aunt ordered this... Uhmmm... Meh!

Ma Maison

Aloe Vera Apple and Green Tea Citrus
I personally like the green tea citrus. It washes down the taste of creaminess and porkyness of the meal. The aloe vera apple had aloe vera bits in it and I found the liquid too sweet for my taste.

Chasoba salad - Cold green tea soba, ham, egg, tomatoes with cucumber in  Japanese mayonnaise and sesame dressing.
This is one of the highlights of the meal. I felt that it's already a meal all by itself.

Hors D'oeuvre - Camembert cheese fritters - Deep fried beer battered camembert cheese slices with honey vinaigrette.
I was quite excited to order this with mozarella goodness expectations but what I got was soft cheese covered with a light crispy butter that gets soggy when dipped in too much honey vinaigrette. It was a good thing my Aunt told me to just add a little of the sauce to still get a taste of the light crispness of the batter.

c

Ma Maison's House Specialty Tonkatsu - Wafu-style pork cutlet covered with Nama  Panko, fresh. crispy  Japanese bread crumbs. Perfectly matches with Ma Maison's homemade Tonkatsu sauce.
Honestly, I found this to be a good tonkatsu but according to my Aunt, she tasted better.

Omu-rice in Mushroom cream sauce - Ketchup rice wrapped in omelette and served with rich mushroom cream sauce.
I'm quite disappointed with this since I was expecting to get red ketchup rice under the rich mushroom cream sauce. All I got was plain white rice. =(

Frozen Green Tea Brazo de Mercedez - Four layered frozen dessert with with egg meringue, green tea ice cream, custard cream and graham crust.
This is another highlight. I love it whole-heartedly! =P

And then came the bill... my smile turned from =) to =( since it was my turn to pay. I must remember to choose my restaurants wisely next time. =P

Zamboanga: Cupcake Story

I was craving for cupcakes since last night. This morning, I went out to try to satisfy my craving by going to the grocery and buying me stuff that could substitute the “cupcake”. 

After paying my purchase, I tried to go about to buy me some milk tea when lo-and-behold, at the corner of my eye, God sent the speedy-est answer to my prayer. Who would’ve known that one could satisfy my Manila-cupcake-craving in Zamboanga?!?

I am just really astonished by how things which seem impossible (finding a good cupcake in Zamboanga) can turn out to be one of the best-bang-for-the-buck cupcakes I’ve ever eaten! 

I’m definitely going back to try the other flavors. =D
