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!

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!!!

Dinner @ KKK Food Revolution + Red Riding Hood (03.18.11)

It was Friday night and I just came from Pampanga.. Brijette and I planned to go out with Dizon. Thinking that Dizon is working at St.Luke's at Global City, I texted them that the meeting place will be in MOA. I was surprised to find out that she works in Quezon City so we where saying na "Sana Trinoma na lang" hahaha

Brijetter was craving for Kare-Kare that time and she wants to eat at Kanin Club. I looked for something similar since there is no Kanin Club at MOA. We went to KKK Food Revolution! I was hesitant to eat meat that day since I am practicing abstinence as my yearly sacrifice for Lent. But since we do this seldomly, I agreed to participate in this food trip!

The place is well lighted and have a very warm atmosphere

The nipa walls are interesting especially since it is inside a mall

To satisfy Brijette's craving, we ordered KareKareng Baka,,, The beef is soft and tender. The flavor is okay but what I did not like is it has few meat and is mostly composed of "twalya"

The KareKare is served with their spicy Bagoong

We ordered a very Pinoy rice... the Sinangag sa Tinapa at Itlog na Maalat. It is like having ulam at kanin in one! Even Dizon who is not eating Itlog na Maalat likes it.

This is Garlic Pusit... a perfect choice especially this Lenten season for people who are abstaining from meat. The squid is not hard to eat and the sauce of the dish is also good 

We also ordered a Pork dish which became our favorite.. the Binagoongang Lechon Kawali. it is not too salty  and it is very delicious. I will keep coming back at KKK for this one!!! It's a must try!

Of course, to feel the food revolution even more, we have our very Pinoy drinks Sago't Gulaman!!!

We were very victorious with our food revolution for dinner. We had good food for a price that will not make you cry!!! We shared stories and had picture taken. Too bad Brijette lost her atm that time.We went to the cinemas after that and I can say we had DESSERT:) haha watch Red Riding Hood to know what I mean!!!
One Hot Movie!

Lunch @ Goldilocks...late appreciation (03.06.11)

When I was in college, I tried eating at Goldilocks inside the campus and I never attempted eating there again since the food is already prepared and it was just heated in the microwave oven.

One Sunday, a new store supervisor came and I oriented her with the different things about the store. It was 2 in the afternoon when we decided to have lunch around Tutuban and we have few options that time. Since I am not being satisfied with my daily meals at everyone's favorite fast foods I just said yes when she told me "Tara Goldilocks na lang"

I was shocked because for someone so thin, her appetite is BIG

She ordered the following

Pancit Guisado

Dinuguan 

She also ordered rice because according to her, she had a hard time going there from Novaliches. I too was very hungry that time and the food in front of the counter made me crave. I was surprised to know that they prepare food there unlike other branches. And since the food was very affordable, I was attracted to buy all that food that I want hahaha:)) Gluttony strikes!

Lumpiang Shanghai

Baked Macaroni

Barbeque

Pineapple Juice

I was really full after that food trip! It was one of the best Lunch Break at work! Now I know why many are saying that food there taste good:) Now I appreciate the simplicity of Pinoy Food served by Goldilocks...

As they say, Better late than never!
