Cafe Lidia

Cafe Lidia

Cafe Lidia, is just 2 streets away from our house can you imagine that. A great place to eat which is walking distance away. I have often passed by this place which is jam packed with people, car parked at both side lined up, covering almost 3 blocks.

It took me actually a couple of months to visit this place, a bit of sales talk and an offer to pay half of the bill, with my hungry mom, dad and ate we tried out this place.

Mr. Kurosawa

Mr. Kurosawa Euro-Japanese food, eastwood city

After long walks and shopping around Eastwood, my friend and I got hungry. We were deciding whether to eat at Flying pig or Mr. Kurosawa, but Japanese food that time sounds yummy so we decided to take our lunch at Mr. Kurosawa.

The place during that time was really jam packed, they have really big menu. Not just the size of the menu itself but also the number of choices available.  The menu is a combination of old Japanese food mixed with modern Hollywood - named and style of cooking.

Ambos Mundos

Ambos Mundo

They say this is one of the oldest restaurants in the Philippines and I also have read this on Carlos Celdran’s blog, he describes the menus as “definitely Rizalian” and the interior design as “Nick Joaquin chic.” Patrons will be amused to see a black pig lounging near the entryway of the establishment. The staff says the pig is there for luck.

Ambos Mundo restaurant is located at the Sta.Cruz, Manila across another restaurant Wah Sun which I wrote about last Feb 2011 on this blog. As the name suggest, it serves both worlds Filipino and Spanish cuisine.

Sizzlin Pepper Steak

For my boss’ farewell dinner we decided to eat at a place called sizzlin Pepper Steak. It’s part of the Teriyaki Boy food chain.  We ate at SM Megamall Atrium; the place is very clean and has cozy interiors. What I loved about this place is the paper mat that tells you how to eat your pepper rice and steaks.

Tokyo Café

Tokyo Cafe

After a long line on the salon, a new haircut, a hungry self, a demanding friend and plus our favorite restaurant was jam packed with people, leaving us with no choice but to eat at a restaurant foreign to us. Tokyo Café, have actually been a good stomach saver.

The place looks nice and the food smelled great so we went for the Tokyo Café experience. It was small in front but actually stretches out in the back area.

Orchard Road

We decided to have a little treat for ourselves (promotion!), to a little sumptuous and off the budget meals. We choose Orchard Road for our reward, also as a pre taste for me, since I plan to take a 2 weeks’ vacation in Singapore on September.

We ordered a feast, it surprised us that each meal only costs around 100 – 160php, looking at the place we thought it's worth at least 300php a meal. The place was beautifully ornamented, the tables were arranged spaciously and the chairs are comfortable.

We did not know how to order at first so I’m going to teach you how. First, get the paper
