Just Thai

Hubby wanted to share with us the lovely view at Two E-com Center so we trooped on over one Sunday lunch.  

Masatami Swiss Cheese Flavored Shave Ice

When my sister said she wanted me to try Masatami Shave Ice, I had visions of crushed ice with strawberry or grape syrup reminiscent of the snow cones served at kiddie parties when we were much younger.  I was surprised to get a cup of glorious Swiss Cheese Flavored Shave Ice with an ice cream consistency.  The cheesiness wasn't overpowering at all.

King Crab House

My first visit to King Crab was sometime in November of last year and we filled up one of the round tables.  We just came from Duty Free and we were famished from walking around.  We ordered up a storm and sampled several different dishes.  Although I can no longer remember with absolute certainty the exact names of the dishes and how they faired, I recall immensely enjoying that meal.

What I distinctly remember though is the rich flavor of the sticky King Crab Rice in Pot which is best taken in small amounts since it can be overwhelming.

Another Food Trip at Il Mercanti

Aside from accessibility and free parking, we keep coming back to Metrowalk's Il Mercanti Food Bazaar for the food of course.  I was intrigued by the AlaBang Salpicao of Panggo's Grill which is actually Alaminos Bangus cooked like salpicao.  It was so fragrant and a great substitute for beef.  This is something I would definitely go back for but I would request for a milder version with less peppers.  

French Baker Again

Hubby's mom and grandmother prefer to have light meals for dinner which usually means soup, noodles or bread.  French Baker is their favorite hang out whenever they are in SM Taytay.  They absolutely love the Soup on a Bread Bowl and they even take home the leftover bread and heat it up for breakfast the following day.  Chicken and Corn Soup was served that day and it tasted very similar to their Chicken ala King which I really like.  The inner portions of the bowl that soaked up the soup was really good.

Random Food Bites - August 2012

Here's another round up of various food and beverages that touched my lips and settled into my tummy.

My favorite chocolate mint munchies - Pepperidge Farm's Milano Mint Cookies.

Under the Sea 7th B-Day

My college friends and I had a mini reunion to celebrate my goddaughter's 7th birthday.  The venue was spruced up in a sea of blue and green. 

DIY table centerpieces were designed by my very creative friend for this under the sea themed party.  

Vikings

For my husband's birthday, we went on an impromptu dinner trip to Vikings in Mall of Asia.  We wanted to take advantage of their birthday promo.  If you dine there on your actual birthday, you get to eat for free.  You just have to bring along 1 full paying adult and flash an ID showing your birthdate.  We thought we would be able to snag a table since it was not even 6pm yet on a weeknight.  We had to wait a gruelling hour and a half to be seated (While on the road, we kept calling to reserve a table but failed miserably).

I was pretty pleased with the appetizer spread and beelined for the cold cuts and cheese.  I didn't regret sampling the bread appetizers even if they were filling me up quickly.
