Pepper Lunch

What I thought would be a laidback Saturday at my parents place turned out to be a whole day affair at 2 different malls running errands, watching a movie, lunch and then dinner at Pepper Lunch.  Pepper Lunch serves their viands raw on a patented electromagnetic plate that is heated to a certain temperature.  Diners then cook them to their liking and eat it as is or mix it up to resemble fried rice.  Honey brown sauce and garlic soy sauce are available per table and may be added for even more flavor.

I skipped my usual order of Beef Pepper Rice and went for the Curry Beef Pepper Rice with Cheese (P225).

Madeca

Pictures of or at Madeca have been popping up my instagram feed lately which irked my curiosity.  

Mr. Rockefeller

Hubby and I celebrated our wedding anniversary last month the best way we know how...with FOOD and of course togetherness (yeah let me be cheesy once in a while haha).  We strolled around the Greenbelt area until the shops were about to close and our stomachs started grumbling.  Our tired feet led us to Mr. Rockefeller, and with a restaurant name like that, we just had to order the Oysters Rockefeller and it did not disappoint.  One of the best oysters we've ever had.

Oysters Rockefeller P330/8pcs
the star in this restaurant!  18 ingredients placed on each and every oyster finished off in the oven and topped with melted mozzarella

Quiznos

Every December, we make it a point to visit the Karl Edwards bazaar at the NBC Tent.  Last year was no exception.  We went twice with different people but somehow ended up in Quiznos both times (but I'm not complaining!).  We tried this in the States several years back and we were pretty psyched that they're in Manila now.

Acaci

Hubby's cousin tied the knot last November and the newlyweds treated their wedding guests to a buffet lunch at Acaci in Acacia Hotel.

Mom & Tina's

We've stopped by Mom and Tina's maybe about a handful of times for their Mango Walnut Torte and Toblerone Walnut Torte to bring to parties.  We've been dying to sample their food and actually dined there last week.

The U.S. Beef Tapa was just heavenly.  A must order for bacon lovers.   

U. S. Beef Tapa P225

Crispy strips of marinated beef served with egg, garlic rice and achara. It's an all new way to enjoy tapa!

Holiday Spread for 2012

The holidays have come and gone but my belly is here to stay hahaha... One celebration after another in a span of just a few weeks may have added even more pounds (and inches) to my already "healthy" body.  Here are a few of the holiday treats that were so hard to resist.
