Kat's Foodventures

I had this sudden craving for real burgers and the only thing I have thought of last weekend was Brothers Burger. We were supposed to hang out at the Nuvali branch, but we took the way Northbound to Alabang. There was no particular kind of burger in my mind, just something authentic.

Rosa, Laguna, so we had to walk around to find something decent and new. We walked by this restaurant called Crisostomo, and thought of giving it a shot. What actually got me into deciding to just dine in here was their frozen Brazo de Mercedes. But let me go further on that as we go along. We ordered Sinigang na Baka, Tortang Talong Pie, Kalderetang Kambing, Tortang Alimango, Seafood Kare-Kare, and Kangkong w/ Lechon. I know what you're thinking, we're not on a feast. It's really just the love for food that makes us "normally" order for at least 3-4 viands. This time was a bit "special" so we got more. From the ti...
