PLATO! Kitchen!

My College friends and I are used to trying something new to eat and we found this perfect place for us. Kitchen is located at Greenbelt 3 near Cafe Breton. Kitchen offers wide range of foods, they have salads, burgers/ sandwiches, Rice Meals, drinks, pizza and desserts. I think one order is actually good for two because it's really big (but we had 1 order each haha) plus the price is not that expensive. 



LLL Friends. Pearl, me, Julie, Mau, Danj and Riel

Sand Bar (225)
This is Tuna Salpic0a served with Huge amount of Pandan Rice


Sink or Swim (165)
This is seared tuna with on lettuce and alfalfa sprouts in sesame soy dressing

OPA! Cyma Estiatorio

Sunday is such a special day. We went to Trinoma to hear mass with the whole gang and got a treat from Mommy Chit; Had our dinner at Cyma Estiatorio. OPA! Cyma is a greek restaurant. 
I tried Cyma before and i ordered Lamb Gyro (220), Saganaki - Cyma Original (200) and Bottomless Cyma's Ultimate Iced Tea (95) and this time we tried something new. HAHA


Salates or Salad. Roka Salata (Family - 680) 
Fresh arugula (roka), chopped romaine lettuce, sun-dried tomatoes, candied walnuts, with shaved parmesan in Traditional Greek Vinaigrette.



Mezedes means appetizers or something small and delicate.
We had Pikilia (480) which is a combination of 5 Dips: Tzatziki, Melitzanosalata, Hummus, Htipiti and Taramosalata. You can also ask for another pita bread (50).


Pastisado is my favorite. It's Greek Osso Bucco - Beef shank braised in Greek tomato sauce, served over spaghetti (Family - 730)


Spinach and Artichoke Fondue  (350)
blend of melting cheese, sun dried tomatoes and feta, served with warm pita triangles and grilled garlic bread



Our second pasta dish was Garides Mi Feta Spaghetti Garides Mi Feta Spaghetti (To share - 650). It's an Oven-roasted shrimp and tomatoes, feta cheese, spaghetti and parsley, served with grated parmesan cheese



And for our Glyka or dessert, we had this famous "Flaming Mango" served with vanilla ice cream on the side (250)  and when they served this onto our table all the crew shouted OPA or something like hooray! 
This was really a treat for us and i'm sure that we will go to Cyma again and again!

Until next time,

Happy Lemon in Trinoma, FINALLY!

Happy Lemon is the new craze in town. And they only have 4 branches here in the Philippines, Eastwood, PowerPlant Mall, Greenhills Promenade and now in trinoma. After my class yesterday (Nov. 22, 2011), i decided to go to Trinoma to buy a gift for my "inaanak" and try this Happy Lemon drink. Well, their branch in Trinoma opened yesterday located at the Cinema level near Timezone. And sorry guys for the poor quality of the pictures, i just used my BB HAHA. 



Thank God they opened their branch here in trinoma because going to promenade or powerplant for Happy Lemon is kinda hard especially for us (North people haha). 



I tried their Green Tea with Rock Salt and cheese (90), i'm not a tea person but the cashier said that it's their best-seller so i didn't hesitate to try it. When i got my order, i asked for a cover and a straw and they said that it's better to drink it without mixing and directly from the cup to give you an extra experience and i did! HAHA. 



Well, we should thank Chris Tiu and his friends for bringing Happy Lemon here in the metro. They offer a wide range of drink because they're not just limited to milk teas, they also have Cocoa and coffee, Lemon series, Rock Salt and Cheese, Mousse Spin, and other specialty drinks for a very CHEAP price (85 - 100).

Until next time,

TOUS les JOURS: Everyday

Tous les Jours opened their first branch here in the Philippines located at SM North EDSA The Block near the Hypermarket. Tous les Jours is a Korean - French bakery which offers freshly baked products and cakes made from fresh and high quality ingredients. 






Cakes.


Other Asian Products.


Got a chance to visit their store and bought Mini chocolate Muffins (68) and Sweet Black Rice Pan (88).  


Mini chocolate Muffins


Sweet Black Rice Pan

I like their staff because they are very approachable and you can ask them anything about their products. The price is a lot cheaper compared to Breadtalk. According to their Facebook Fan page, they are preparing for their 2nd store opening at SM Southmall on December 15, 2011. Wish you the best guys! 

Until next time,

Saturday Night.

Started my day with an exam on Engineering management and ended it with another exam in Circuits 2 analysis; considered it as one of my not so good days. Thank God my mom called and asked if i can go to Trinoma and i said YES! 

We had our dinner at Pho Hoa which is a Vietnamese Noodle House . While waiting for my father and sister, we ordered this very light "Pomelo and  Shrimp Salad (200)" with a vinegar like dressing.


This meal is served with rice. Pork Stew with boiled egg and bean curd. (250)


Vietnamese Fish with yellow beans. (240)


Fried Squid with chili and green onions. (220)


One thing i didn't like with this dish is the white wine vinegar sauce which is too strong (scent and taste). Overall, we had a nice dining experience at Pho Hoa. Good food. Good Ambiance. Reasonably good price. 

Since we are collecting stickers for this year's planner (Starbucks), we ordered Cafe Latte, Peppermint Mocha Frappe, Toffee Nut Frappe and our favorite ensaymada. It was a Happy Saturday night with my family.
