Dinner at Kanin Club (Re-Visit) / Dessert at Cab Cafe (Re-Visit)

We were suppose to eat at a new restaurant around Kapitolyo but my cousin wants to eat Filipino Food since she will migrate to the states and surely she will miss our local dish. Sometimes, Filipino Food doesn't surprise me anymore since my mom cooks this kind of dishes all the time but I'm glad many restaurants like 1521, Cafe Juanita, Sentro, etc. revolutionized Filipino dishes and put some modern twists in it.

Sinigang na Hipon. This Sour Shrimp dish with vegetables will surely invigorate your taste buds. The Sour taste, the fresh shrimp, and the crisp vegetables are all a wonderful combination for those people who love Soup.

Seafood Kare-Kare. This dish is hard to cook! My mom doesn't know how and doesn't want to learn since it's very complex. The peanut sauce is really really yummy! I did try to cook kare-kare but my patience in cooking ran out. =)

Crispy Pata / Deep Fried Pork Knuckles. It may look foreign or disgusting to others but I tell you, when you taste this, it's soooooooo yummy! It's also good to partner with beer. 

Lunch at H.K. Choi by Choi Garden

2nd time around and H.K. Choi never fails to satisfy my craving for good and oriental chinese dish. 

I was quite bothered since it is such a nice restaurant but only few people dine in. They serve nice hot tea (not just any cheap tasting tea). But one thing I noticed is that they do not serve nuts anymore as complimentary appetizers. 

Besides the good looking dish, the flavor of each dish is such a turn on!  =)

Soy Chicken. The chicken is very tender and soft, also the savory sauce of the chicken made this dish extra special which adding to the flavor. It's a savory dish that does not need anymore sauce.

Mapo Tofu. I have to commend the mapo tofu for it's okay quality, the tofu was soft and quite tasty but I've tasted better mapo tofu somewhere else.

Shrimp Dumpling. I don't know if this is "hakaw" but i believe so it is. Since i was raving about the Hakaw of Hap Chan, You also have to try this shrimp dumplings. It's tasty and quite bigger than any other chinese restaurant. I always order hakaw to every chinese restaurant I dine and apparently so far no restaurant have made an awful hakaw.

Lunch at Shakey's

 Shakey's is fantastic if your eating in a group. I love their group meals which is very sufficient for all members. Not only that it's price is within reach of your budget, their food is actually nice and good. It's nice to have a party at Shakey's or if your planning to treat your friends, or classmates, Shakey's is your place.

Carbonara: The spaghetti is okay, the sauce and ingredients is also nice. It's not too shabby, it's actually okay. You can eat the pasta without being sour on it.

Garlic bread: plain garlic bread

Almon Marina Restaurant

I treat my folks to this restaurant

Menu: 

Vegetable Beef Soup: Creamy, tasty, i love the fusion of vegetable, stewed beef, and a hint of tomato sauce.

California Roast Beef: Roast Beef slices, mozzarella cheese, swiss cheese, asparagus, almond silvers, gravy, then focaccia bread. let's start with the bread: it's soft and freshly baked, also the sesame seeds adds a little sweetness and crisp on the bread. the beef is a little tough, and little dry but tasty. the cheese was oozingly immaculate. the fries was definitely better than other fast food chains. the asparagus and almond silvers was fresh, balancing the meat and cheese. 

Neptune Submarine: If you like french-tough baguette bread, with lots of cold cuts, onions, tomato, cheese, zucchini, and olives. it's a fantastic sandwich that each ingredient blends with each other. never fails to satisfy my craving.

Submarine with Puttanesca: the sandwich is same with the neptune but bread is soft with sesame seeds, the puttanesca was mad al dente. 

My problem with the restaurant is their meat can be dry at some time. but i keep going back to this restaurant. :D
