Food Post: Php99 Meals at Gilligan’s

11.27.2011 by Leah //

AJ and I had our dinner earlier at Gilligan's (Robinson's Galleria branch).  We were actually curious with their P99.00 meals that comes with unlimited rice, and since I haven't tried it yet (I usually prefer Dencio's for Pinoy food), we decided to give it a try. We didn't set our expectations high with our orders, thinking that they would probably scrimp on the servings ... READ MORE

Chicken and Asparagus Farfalle (from Appetite Magazine)

11.21.2011 by Leah //

I'm not ashamed to admit that I can't cook without the guidance of a recipe.   I'm still not ready to try dishes that I could call my own, much less prepare one that is based on stock knowledge haha! So I am really happy to discover food magazines that provides easy meals to follow.   I enjoyed preparing the Banana Chocnut Trifle last time so my excitement doubled when I ... READ MORE

Food Post: Kimono Ken

11.13.2011 by Leah //

Last Friday we had lunch at Kimono Ken, thanks to our boss who treated us there. Here are some of the food I had - all good, if I must say: Tofu Steak.  Mixed Sushi Platter. Kani Salad.   Ebi Tempura.    Gyoza.    Equally good was their chicken teriyaki which I wasn't able to take pictures of because it was immediately wiped out. I'll definitely ... READ MORE

Food Post: Myron’s Steak

11.04.2011 by Leah //

Last Friday, AJ and I celebrated our 5th month anniversary as a couple.   We don't get to celebrate our wedding anniversary each month, so we treated ourselves this time with a big and very expensive steak hehe! We chose to dine in style at Myron's in Rockwell. It was a very early dinner actually, because AJ works on a night shift and has to be at work by 8 p.m. Good ... READ MORE

Tuguegarao

10.27.2011 by Leah //

I was at Tuguegarao last Sunday until Tuesday this week, for work.   We held a dialogue there and being a first-time visitor in the area, I know I just have to take some pictures as souvenirs hehe. But too had we had a full sked pala so we only got to visit the Shrine of Our Lady of Piat.  This was last Sunday, right after our arrival. I was only able to take pictures of ... READ MORE

Food Post: Go Greek

10.19.2011 by Leah //

I have to thank my mom for introducing me to this Greek-Mediterranean food stall located at Glorietta 4's Food Court: AJ and I haven't been to G4's Food Court for a while, and I only came to know about Go Greek when my mom suggested the place for lunch during our regular "bonding/malling" day. I love the clean look and mediterrenean ambiance of Go Greek: My mom and I ... READ MORE
