Birthday Treat @ Kalye Juan, Mall of Asia

One late afternoon, me and my peers went to Mall of Asia after our food trip at Dapitan to meet Bless who will come from Laguna. We were so hungry that time because we haven't eaten our lunch yet even though it's almost dinner time. So when we got there, Ludy and I instantly chose were to eat. Since we haven't eaten yet at Kalye Juan, we agreed to try it. This dinner was a post-birthday treat of Ludy, Ate Aljane and Zoe.

Kalye Juan is a Filipino Restaurant which offers various Pinoy favorites for a reasonable price. When you enter the doors of this resto, you will never fail to notice the large painting on the wall of streets which looks like taken during the Spanish regime. Ironic to this oldie feeling, they have a very modern and colorful Bar on the other side where the drinks are being prepared.

We ordered 2 packages for easy selection. Here are the inclusions:

Fresh Lumpiang Sariwa

Adobong Kangkong

Krispy Pata

Sisig sa Kalye

Bagoong Lechon Kawali

Pancit Palabok

Paksiw na Lechon Kawali

Chicken Pastel

I personally love the Chicken Pastel. It's not too creamy and salty. It has so many ingredients inside and it maintained its warmness. The Lumpiang ubod has too much garlic which made it spicy. I do not eat Kangkong so I do not know how it tastes. The Krispy pata is just okay. It's like the one you have almost everywhere. The Lechon Kawali dishes are lovely! The Paksiw has different taste which is definitely a hit! The Binagoongan is also delicious (Binagoongan is one of my favorites so I am bias when it comes to this).

Here are our pictures while eating:)

I can recommend Kalye Juan for those who like to have big servings, many food options and affordable meals. The service is good and the place is clean and comfortable. Go and try it yourself!

Mirienda @ Dapitan-reminiscing our college days

When we were in college, especially during our senior year, we use to spend our afternoons together here at Rosarito St. in Dapitan. We will eat anything possible and jump from one street to another. So one late afternoon, me and my friends met. I went to UST Graduate School then since all of us did not have our lunch yet, we texted the others to follow us at Rosaritos to have some "panawid-gutom". 

Just like the old times, we ordered everything we saw. I had saging con yelo since it feels really hot that time. I also had cheese sticks and fish balls. Others had squid balls, kikiam, kwek-kwek and sago't gulaman. Very cheap foods but the satisfaction from these foods is priceless. 

Too bad Blesilda Demonica, Karlash and the consistent absent Chicken, Jehanne were not around... This is the happiest summer aftrnoon of my 2011! I love my friends so much:)

Til next time peers!!!

Dinner @ Tres with Karla and Bless (04.10.11)

 It's Sunday night after work! Bless, Karla and I decided to see each other and have a good time together. Karla just came from the gym and we waited for Bless to arrive from Bulacan. We then went to Tres to have dinner. 

The place feels really warm and accommodating. The choice of music adds to the relaxing ambiance of the restaurant. 

While ordering Karla did not stop saying that she just went to the gym and now she will eat a lot. They have a variety of Filipino foods to choose from. Some were given a twist which adds excitement to the dining experience.

Fresh Fruit Shakes
A wide selection of fruit shales are available the ripe mango shake is superb!!!

Binagoongang Lechon Kawali

 There are many restaurants nowadays that includes binagoongang lechon kawali in their Menu but what makes Tres' special is the gata used in this dish. It's spicy, creamy and crunchy at the same time. it is our Tres' favorite.

Sizzling Bangus

 As usual the part which everyone desires is the bangus belly! This reminds us of the Bangus sisig we order at Wok near UST. another dish to try!

Beef with Mushroom

I forgot the exact name of this dish but I think one famous saying applicable to this is "sabaw pa lang ulam na"

Garlic Rice

 Good thing that this is a perfect combination to all the dishes we ordered. The three of us decided to have an additional order of rice since we enjoyed the food so much.

These are our happy pictures together after our delightful meal

I love you friends!!!

Birthday Celebration @ Racks, Mall of Asia (01.28.11)

It's the day for the grand celebration of UST @ 400...

Me and my college friends decided to meet... we took the chance to celebrate my birthday as well as jehanne's! Since there are lots of people within the campus, we went to MOA to have dinner...

We had a hard time choosing where to eat since it's friday night and there are many people in the mall.

Then we went to Racks and reserve some seats while waiting for the others... 

The lady at the entrance asked us if we want to dine inside of if we would like to stay outside... we told her that we want a place inside then she said that we should wait for a while..

when the others came we decided to take a seat at the table outside because we are 15 in number and we are blocking the way,, i lost my temper when i noticed that there are already about 4 who came after us who got their seats first,, the lady told us that they will not get us seats because we occupied one outside. I told her that should not be since we went on that spot for us not to block the way while they can't give us a table... i decided to take the one outside so as not to ruin the night...

what's nice about Racks is that they have Platters for big groups,, We had Beef Ribs and Ribs and Chicken Platter

The fish and chips is good... It's not dry and doesn't have an after taste

The bread is also tasty and not that hard unlike others which is favorable for me since i still have braces that time

The pasta is great! I love it... SAKTO is the word which best suits it

We ordered another one since we felt that there is famine that time:)

The BBQs are to die for! so soft and tender:) I enjoyed it as well as my friends.. the sauce is a perfect match to any BBQ that they serve

we also enjoyed the different side dishes that were included in the platter

but the mashed potato is not that good and a little dry

Look at our happy faces!!!

I MISS YOU PEERS!!!

I hope to see you all soon:)

We miss you Bless!

Ikaw na Geline ang may jowa! hahaha
