Cafe Mary Grace

Mary Grace's cheese rolls is one of my favorite treats which is readily available in mall kiosks.  I wasn't sure what to expect though when my husband's family set up a lunch date at Cafe Mary Grace.

Cafeteria Verde

I had a very unpleasant experience with vegetarian food years ago so I make a conscious effort to stay away from them.  It was so bad that I couldn't even force myself to finish my meal.  I was pretty hesitant to try Cafeteria Verde but I gave in to my sister.  She rarely eats vegetables and fruits but she enjoyed the dishes from this restaurant.

My Tomato-Garlic Spaghetti was rich in flavor.  The absence of meat or seafood from the pasta was tolerable.  The dish was aromatic and heightened my appetite.

Snackaroo

Two lucky individuals were at the right place at the right time.  They were approached on the street by the TV host of Pop Talk which airs on GMA News TV and were invited to review restaurants serving affordable steaks.  A chef and a celebrity guest were also part of the review panel.  I forgot the name of the first restaurant which I have never tried (I wasn't too impressed with what I saw either).  I was pleased to see Everything at Steak and Slice N Dice, two places which we go to every now and then for affordable and yummy steaks.  Watching them dig into their steaks made me hungry and reminisce about my last trip to Snackaroo a few months ago.

Pizza Hut Bistro

Gone are the days when the only thing you order at a pizza restaurant is pizza.  I remember devouring slices of thick pan pizza whenever we dined at Pizza Hut back in the 80s and even the 90s.  They have extended their menu to include soup, pasta, salad, wings and more so we got a variety of dishes for dinner one night.

I really liked the 3 Cheese Bacon and Spinach Tuscani Pizza which was oozing with flavor.  Tuscani pizza crusts are soft on the inside then slightly crispy on the outside.

McCormick Soy Garlic Korean Fried Chicken Recipe Mix

I'm always on the lookout for quick and easy mixes so I instinctively grabbed the McCormick Soy Garlic Korean Fried Chicken Recipe Mix when I spotted it at the grocery.  

Zong

The first and only time I've eaten at Zong was in the Fort branch years ago.  It was around Christmas time and there were "carollers".  Aside from the lovely entertainment, The Malaysian Style String Beans was the only thing I remember from that meal.  So when we had lunch in Sta. Rosa a couple of weeks ago, this was the first thing we decided on.  The vegetables were so crisp and the spices were just heavenly.  We want to recreate this at home but we can't pinpoint the exact spices used.
