Kat's Foodventures

Since my trip to Sg last year, I've been somehow exposed to Indian food and so a friend and I planned to dine in at the Indian restaurant across the office. It's been months but the plan never pushed through. After work one evening, I and my two other officemates decided to cap off the day by binge-ing before heading home. I've been wanting to have something Indian, but the suggestion to try out the restaurant across the office building was rejected. Great thing, there's New Bombay Anyhoo, we ordered Tandoori Chicken, Mushroom Biryani and Chicken Tikka Masala. Tandoori Chicken is described as chicken marinated in yogurt with a blend of mild Indian spices, that give it a distinct aroma and wonderful taste. It was savory, but dry.

It was last year when I first heard that one Filipino would have the chance to go to space and represent via Axe Apollo. When the winner was announced, I read his name on an online newspaper and read about him just out of curiosity. This led me to Chino Roque's Instagram account. At that point, I was clueless but too lazy to search if the account name means anything. Recently, I saw a post of some celebrity dining in at El Chupacabra. That gave it away. El Chupacabra is a place. Little did I know that more than it being just a name of a restaurant, it is a mythical creature . Trivia, trivia. :) Last Sunday, I got a message from a friend on Facebook inviting me to go on a food trip on the 25th, and I immediately agreed. After work last night, we met up, rode a cab and got off at Felipe cor. Polaris St. In fairness, it wasn't hard to find. The place was so filled up, it was difficult to miss. We arrived 9pm-ish, but the bulk of people at the waiting list was quite a number...

Merely by saying "Aveneto" in my head makes me smile and want to go back. Last week was a draining week. Work and training happened side by side on most days and I couldn't help but feel really tired. On the last day of training last Saturday, me and my good (food) buddy, Trina, had to let out the stress and make time for a perfect food adventure. It was planned. Days before we even finished training, we've already spoken about where to eat and which ones to order. Here's what we had : Nut Pesto with Chicken, P275 Nut Pesto is a personal favorite. I made Trina taste it because I know she'll enjoy it like I do. It's your typical spaghetti noodles in basil, oil and nut topped with chicken strips. Love! :) Serving is good for about 2-3 people. Chicken Wings, P175 We're supposed to order buffalo wings, but unfortunately they're not available anymore according to the waiter at the Glorietta branch. Trina claims, though, they still have...

Haven't been out in the last couple of weeks due to my busy schedule, but last week, I was able to lunch in at their Greenbelt 1 branch. Razon's has always been known for their Halo-halo, and for the longest time I had no clue that they have viands in the menu, as well. It was lunch time and service was surprisingly quick. Normally, I would eat only my mother's version of Dinuguan, aside from Goldilocks', but I thought it would be fun trying something out for the first time. Made a good choice. Their version is yummy, only though, if you like it sour. Very sour, that is. Sauce was watery and not thick in consistency. Still delicious in my opinion. Perfect partner for their bite-sized white puto. Dinuguan with Puto, P135 Razon's Halo-halo, P100 And of course, any meal at Razon's wouldn't be complete with the famous Halo-halo. Composed of  sweetened saba , macapuno, leche flan, milk and finely shaved ice, this dessert surely is a hit, espe...

Oh hi there, everyone! Happy new year (yes, I'm so late, I know. Been really busy with my new job and it's so hard to catch up on writing when you're adjusting.)! I've actually not been out a lot lately and this one time I met up with a friend, I thought I must share with you. We dined in at Pancake House in Glorietta 1.Was super duper tired few days prior and my way of making up to my poor self is (always) to binge eat. Tried out Spicy Chicken Fillet with Brown Rice Pilaf. At first I couldn't distinguish if the tangy taste was because of the tartar sauce or if the brown rice was spoiled. I continued eating and realized later it was the sauce. Spicy Chicken Fillet with Brown Rice Pilaf, Php 186 Three pieces of filleted chicken was plenty. I could've consumed just the biggest one. It was delicious paired with the white sauce. And the rice. The fact that it's brown made me think I was eating healthy so it's a-ok if I finish everything. What ...

Last Thursday, I met up with Ciarra, my grade school classmate and the brain (and hands) behind Sweets by Happy Mommy. It was a coincidence we're formerly classmates and that my other friend, who ordered our barkada's Christmas treats, are friends, too. What a small world! I and our other  friends are too pre-occupied with our own stuff, little did we know our "sisters" in KSA were already having something in the works. We're getting sweets! What each of us received was a box of a dozen blueberry cheesecake bites, baked by no one else but Ciarra. Soon as I got home, I took a bite of my share. Sweet, smooth, and heavenly are words to describe it. I love cheesecakes, cheese in general, but let me just say that if you are just like me, a rat, este a cheese fanatic and possess a huge liking for sweet stuff, you will love it for real. Giving my two thumbs up to THE happy mommy for a job well done, with matching pat on the back, also for the effort to p...
