Felix's Cy Burger

Craving for wagyu burger brought Cielo and I at Felix in Greenbelt 5.  Named after Chef Florabel Co Yatco’s father, FELIX is a restaurant that caters Asian Continental cuisine. 

Had this Cy burger at 11:30am and I'm still full as of this writing. At P816 (VAT ans other taxes included)

Felix has big place that can accommodate up to 100. This is a good place for meeting friends over for lunch.

For finale, we settled for a decaffenaited coffee.

Cafe Jeepney

You haven't been in the Philippines if you haven't seen a jeepney as it sprawls the whole of this country.  To complete the experience once in the Philippines why not try to dine at Cafe Jeepney located at the Ground Level of InterContinental Manila in 1 Ayala Ave., Makati. they offer Filipino and International cuisine with specialties like pancit palabok and mango crêpe samurai

Riza and I went there on  Sunday so there weren't many diners. Usually, the manager said, during office days, we cannot dine here without prior reservation as they are full from Mondays to Fridays. So, if you're meeting a client or a friend on a weekday, make an advance call to secure seats at
Phone Number (+63 2) 793-7000 loc. 6771.

Assorted parts, paintings and photos of the famous jeepney as well as the  horse that is the signature of Sarao (famous jeepney maker in the Philippines) is scattered within the walls and other parts of this cafe.

Buffet Lunch at Lola Marias

It's been four long years since the last time I saw my two most beloved guy friends. So when they asked to meet for lunch, I suggested to have lunch at Lola Maria, located at the Legend Villas, Pioneer St., Mandaluyong City.

At P650 per head, we had good food, good service and good talk reminiscing our happy times in Bayantel.

  

Friendly and efficient staff of Lola Marias

Yellow Cab Goodness

After Maizi's confirmation, we headed at Yellow Cab and had...ta-dah, PIZZA!

18" All Meat Pizza

The pizza is the moon on your plate and no matter how deep the night of your appetite, it will always light up the way. --- Guiseppe Moratta

Among the 3 pasta we ordered, husband and I voted best for the Meatball spag, although there were just 2 meatmalls, the sauce made up for the lack of meatballs.

Jalapeno Tango was not spicy enough for us but crispiness is good enough to satisfy our love for chicken wings.

Malunggay-Tuna Sandwich

Sharing my winning entry (2nd placer) for the recently concluded Walter Bread Cook Off, Malunggay-Tuna Sandwich. 

Malunggay-Tuna Sandwich served two ways: for my kids baon and for snacks.

Ingredients: Minced malunggay leaves, drained tuna in brine, dried basil leaves, salt and pepper, tomato, cucumber, lettuce and fruits on the side.

Procedure: Mix all the ingredients and voila! As simple as that.

With Walter Bread, the whole family get to eat healthy food, yes, including our dog. Read below the captions to know why...

After cutting the bread into heart shape, two sides are left. This is the part that I eat. I sometimes force my husband to eat with me, lol!

The edges of the bread goes to our dog, Dengue, and the birds who visit us in the morning.

BI-WON Korean Restaurant

A lot of Korean's have been visiting the Philippines lately and some of them opted to stay for good. With their growing numbers, Korean restaurants have sprouted here and there. Most of these Korean restos make bits of changes to adapt to the Filipinos' taste buds. With that, one can say that it's not Korean after all. 

At Biwon Korean Restaurant, located in Pasay, EDSA, (Telephone numbers: 551-2118 and 834-7576)

the Chef stick sticks to the Koreans' traditional way of cooking and flavoring.

Biwon’s Kimchi is made fresh daily so diners get the freshest taste just like the Koreans do it in Korea. 

It’s very informative to know that Koreans eat rice using their spoons, unlike the Chinese who uses chopsticks. Korean spoons are longer to prevent getting burn from the hot food.

Bulgogi, P300

Biwon  interior may be too simple but the Korean food they serve here definitely is  Korean!
