Food Post: Socrates’ Secret Restaurant

02.20.2015 by Leah // Leave a Comment

A restaurant with the word "Secret" attached to its name is bound to pique my curiosity.  Add to that the enigmatic name "Socrates" and I knew that we're on to something interesting. Some weeks ago, AJ and I were invited to try this Greek taverna located at Laguna Central, Greenfield City.  AJ and I are actually very familiar with Laguna Central - being our "pit stop" ...

Baked Yogurt Parmesan Chicken (a melt-in-your mouth chicken dish)

This was our fantabulous chicken dinner last night, paired with pesto macaroni pasta: You all know my not-so-secret-anymore recipe for the pesto pasta (check it out here!) and as I forgot to stock on pasta noodles, we just bought whatever we could find at the supermarket.  The smallest pack available happened to be the macaroni noodles, thus the awkward noodles + pesto ...

We celebrated my dad's 6_th birthay last month at CYMA in Robinson's Manila, one of the few restaurants in the Metro that serves really good Mediterranean food.
