Kat's Foodventures

  Being pissed off at work or anywhere, for that matter, doesn't do me any good these days because I end up splurging on nothing else but food. Last Thursday, I went out with one of my co-nurses at Festival Mall to shoo-away the bad vibes I had at work earlier that day. Prior to that, it's been one of our long-time plans to try out Japanese or Thai cuisine, but that time he didn't want anymore. We kept walking around and our lazy feet brought us to Sicylisimo. The green and yellow chairs and tables had me. Very cool ambience. We were both first-timers at this new place, so we looked on the menu and picked out what looked delish. I, being a cheese lover, instantly said yes to the call of Blue Buffalo Pizza and my partner-in-crime ordered Spaghetti Alla Bolognese. We asked for Brewed Iced Tea Pitcher, too. During the wait, someone walked by our table and placed a basket of thinly sliced crispy bread sticks. This made the wait worthwhile.   Then the pizza arriv...

We've been all around Festival Mall and we were thinking of eating somewhere we've not dined in before. We were hungry anyway, so we settled with The Old Spaghetti House instead. Practicumers welcomed us and directed us to our table. One of them handed us the menu and gave us great food choices. And so we ordered Appetizer Basket, Chicken Tequila Pizza, Brewed Coffee and Vanilla Milkshake. It took them around 5-10 minutes before the Appetizer Basket was served. It consisted of Calamares, Chicken Fingers and Onion Rings and a dip. Then came the rest of what we ordered. Everything was oily. The chicken fingers in the basket tasted like fish and so all the while I was confused. It was good, though. But like I said, it invites a lot of bad cholesterol. Appetizer Basket, Php 210 Chicken Tequila Pizza, Php 245 Vanilla Milkshake, Php 90; Brewed Coffee Php 60 Pizza was thinly crusted, oblong in size, 8 slices and what's good about it is that I almost didn...

Last week, while at Robinson's Place Manila, we checked out this place called Brooklyn Pizza. Like the usual, we asked the crew what their specialties are.Our server suggested the White Cheese pizza. And as a lover of dairy stuff, I didn't hesitate to try this out. For our pasta, we wanted something tomato-based, so we ordered Spicy Shrimp pasta, which didn't possess the spice that its name suggested. But let me redeem its title by saying that it wasn't so bad after all. In fact, I liked it, especially paired with their complimentary toasted bread. Another winner was BP's buffalo wings. The basket contained 8 pieces of it, and quite cheap for a price of less than P200. I believe the spice I wished was on the pasta was transferred to the wings because they're H-O-TTT! In a good way, though. Pasta + bread + wings + bottomless iced tea was so filling that our White Cheese pizza slice remained untouched. Ta...

My day started well. The whole time I was in the office, I felt like it was not "work" at all. Free food from Clarice, to add to that. Going home, I and Dolly passed by the usual route -- Landmark, heading towards SM Makati. But while we were inside Glorietta, we had the urge to eat so we dropped by Shakey's. One crew took our orders and told us to wait for 15 minutes. For someone in hypoglycemic mode, 15 minutes is 15-golden-minutes! So as not to feel the time, we chatted about other stuff, office-related. But time seemed so slow that we (more on I, actually) started looking at each table, checking up on others' meals. My tummy went wild! 15 minutes became more-than-15-minutes. When the people on the other table left, we moved. I asked another crew to give me bottomless iced tea. That moment I was already impatient and I was badly needing something to compensate for my hunger. Guess what? The food came roughly around 5 minutes, but the iced tea's not s...
