. Nag Blog hopping lang ako and I stumbled upon yours
.
can't remember the name though. i'll check it out again. and oh btw, i AM the brat.
Any thoughts on sisigs from different restos? I found one good sisig in "Kubo sa Manila"...wala lang, just thought you might have done a comparative analysis on sisigs
It's been awhile since I logged in and tons of things has happened. Restaurants have come and gone. New ones have popped up all over the metro too; some of which I had the luxury of trying out.
So to continue my last post (way way back in June)...I finally got to give A Veneto Makati a try last Sunday. We ordered their Hungarian Sausage Parmigiana and Family Platter. The servings were pretty hefty compared to the those of the QC branch. I'm not so sure though if it's because they raised the prices as well or not. In any case, I haven't got any complaints with the food...taste, price or serving size-wise .
I'm not much fan of tomato-based pasta but their parmigiana was really cheesy (no pun intended
) and not as acidic as most tomato-based Italian pasta are. So sue me, I'm pinay to the bone...I like my pasta with the sweet-sour blend. Their platter was delish as well. I especially liked their garlic sauce with chunks of onion (so stay away from me! haha.)...their cheesy potato balls were really good too. Their chicken had this sweet chili sauce coating but unfortunately the chicken wings were a tad puny, they only looked bigger because of the breading. hehe.
Lessee, I've a bone to pick with their service though. We went there after the lunch hour rush on a Sunday so you'd expect their service to be better right? Not much confusion and etc. Unfortunately when this waiter served our food, he brought the pesto-nut pasta to our table which I politely declined at first. He went back to the counter to check and he came back insisting that we ordered it. Got kinda irritated and told him to check again. I think it was their lady manager came over to our table (btw, she's the one who took our orders too) to confirm that we didn't order the pesto. I thought things were straightened out when our food finally came. Obviously not. They added the pasta to our bill even after knowing we didn't order it and we'd already refused the food.
It was a good thing I thought of checking the bill details otherwise we'd have paid an additional 200+ bucks for an order we didn't make. So if you guys wanna try out the place, do make sure you check your bill carefully before paying.
And oh, some of Moo Moo Paradise's menu (the bestsellers that is) were incorporated into Zen's menu. Weird really considering Zen was supposed to concentrate solely on Japanese food.
I took my brother to this small Japanese diner a few months back...it's a place my former introduced me to when we went out to one of those lunches before she left the company. It's called Aioyama (hope I got the name right). Their food's totally dirt cheap! A hundred plus bucks for a complete bento meal
; you get sushi, tempura, sashimi, rice, veggies, miso soup and a fruit...not to mention a soda of choice. How good a deal is that?? 
My siblings and I love soup and sandwich meals; always have. So whenever they're in town, we always make it a point to visit the Almon Marina, our favorite deli/sandwich place. These are some of our regular fares there; their chicken and veggie soup and the petulama sandwich...roastbeef with a side order of potato chips. YUM!
There are still tons of the food pics I'd like to share, unfortunately I have to run. I'll drop by later tonight or tomorrow to update my blog. For now, happy eating!
