Dinner at Rub Rib's

What's better than roast chicken? It's Baby Back Ribs!! 

Kapitolyo is a district near our home which houses a lot of upscale restaurants but affordable in price. Kapitolyo is a village with nice houses and the houses in the main street of the village are converted to restaurants. You can find american food, thai food, vietnamese, european, arabic, and so much more!

We went to Rub Rib's last Feb 5 to celebrate my sister's birthday together with my cousins. The place is quite small but always full of hungry customers. What I like about this place is their famous yummy ribs and it's very close to my house.

Menu. 

Some designs

2 big ribs (good for 4 persons) Family size meal costs P685 with 3 side dish (potatoes, buttered corn, vegetables) The ribs are absolute divine! it's soft, tasty, and very bbq in taste. We ordered additional rice because it's hard to eat the ribs w/o rice =) The meat is so tender that we can't resist to make simot the bones! 

I love the coca cola cherry =)

Lunch at Cibo

Ever wonder why sometimes you get so excited for a thing and suddenly when it's in front of you all the excitement disappear?

In this case, It's Cibo.

I may not eat at expensive restaurants all the time but I certainly know what good and authentic food is. I grew up dining out all the time (that only proves my weight haha) but I tell you, food is something that is a blessing and a connection. 

You get excited because you feel something great and good will happen just like when harry potter defeated lord valdemort or when anakin skywalker is darth vader or when darth vader in his deathbed confesses to luke skywalker that he is his father yada yada.

Sorry I wasn't able to get the names of the dishes but you'll figure it out when you dine at cibo they have pictures.

Pesto with mushroom. Pasta was hard, it's like chewing a gum in which I didn't able to taste the full flavor although the texture is good, and the pesto sauce is generous, I had a hard time finishing this dish. This one costs around P270.

Pollo Arrosto Limone (P340-360) Looks great and appetizing

Lunch at Almon Marina Sandwich Bar and Deli

What I love about this resto is that it's affordable, so yummy, and best of all: amazing staff. 

It's so funny to see the reaction of some customers faces how I am so spoiled by the crew especially the waiters. My water glass never went empty, I always get my spot in the restaurant, They know what I will order and always reserve my favorite newspaper! Gosh I'm so spoiled!!

Pasta Ala Osso Buco (P195). Penne Pasta cooked al dente with tender and very savory beef with mushroom and very very yummy sauce. I don't know how they cook it or how they managed to prepare this dish but I tell you, this is a must order.

Neptune Submarine (P255) never forge to order neptune submarine if you happen to dine here. The all good sandwich will dignify that Almon Marina is top of it's product. It's a sandwich with lots of meat, egg, tomatoes, vegetables, etc. It's a one good sandwich with less guilt. =) 

Ever tasted a chocolate cake that is not too sweet nor bitter? Almon Marina's Chocolate Cake is quite thick and yet soo blissfully good.  

Hong Kong - Macau Day 2

Continuation of my tour to Hong Kong - Macau.

I will let the pictures speak for itself  =)

Shangri-la Hotel East Tsim Sha Tsui

on the street

Double deck bus

Iconic Mosque at Nathan Road

Canton Road: Home of many luxury items for shopping

Our group was able to buy ticket around 11:15 am and realized that the departure time is around 11:30 am and all of us rushed to the immigration to be able to catch the ride. It was a nice experience :)

Lunch at Beijing Day 3

After the tour at the great wall our group headed for lunch (I fell asleep during the trip because I was so tired from climbing the steep steps of the wall). I was very impressed with our lunch that day because there were a lot of appetizing dishes that was served. 

Appetizers (Nuts, Sausage, bean sprouts, noodles, and vegetable)

Dumplings. It was disappointing and unappetizing, I was expecting it would be memorable and very tasty.

Fried Rice. It was okay not really memorable =)

Vegetable. I didn't taste this.

I don't recall if this is beef or pork but it was definitely yummy! It was a little sweet and little salty.

Lunch at Beijing Day 2

After the tour at the Forbidden City, we headed for lunch and unfortunately the food was not good. Chinese food is basically oily compare to other cuisine. After the lunch I was still hungry.

Sauteed bokchoi. Oily and tasteless.

This was the only dish that has taste. Beaded Fish with a hint of salty flavor.

I don't know what is this but I know this are carrots. I didn't eat this since I'm not a fan of carrots especially if it sauteed like this.

Dinner at Beijing Day 1

We arrived Beijing around 6:30 pm and we were greeted by our tour guide at the arrivals then we went straight to the restaurant. The weather was so nice! it was spring and it was cold! I love the fact that it's cold but no need to wear a jacket.

We arrived at this cool restaurant that color red is everywhere. We saw a lot of foreigners dining (maybe this is the restaurant in which Chinese tourism brought their visitor on their first meal) and most of them are from western countries.

I don't know the name of the restaurant and even if i know, I don't know how to write it's chinese name

Fish Fillet? I really don't know but it was fish. It was crunchy outside and very soft and tasty inside.

Vegetables

Vegetables with Bacon. Tasty! Vegetables and Meat! =)

Lunch at Gerry's Grill

It's been a long time since I was able to eat at Gerry's Grill and as far as I remember, It was good and memorable. 

when I was younger (that was the 90s) not yet a teenager, restaurant-bars that serves Filipino dishes are so popular that many people dine and drink casually at night. Usually, resto-bars are favorite hang out places of many people from young professionals (yuppies) to middle aged people. 

there was a time that the whole stretch of Libis, Quezon City (goolge map it) is alive and full of lights due to the open restaurants at night it was very nice and "new" in the city. 

I was skeptical to eat at Gerry' Grill since I'm afraid that the taste quality would be different-bad. But sometimes you have to taste and see to prove it's worth.

Sizzling Fish (Bangus / Milk Fish P255) I like this fish, it was yummy and soft. I rarely eat fish outside my house since I'm afraid of it's quality and malansa quality. For a long time, I was able to eat fish and it was sizzling the bonus is, the fish is boneless. It was easy to eat :)

Sizzling Garlic Mushroom Chicken. Garlic + Mushroom + Gravy = Heaven. It was sooooooo good! The chicken is cooked right, it was soft, it was savory, and it was so good!
