Piesta (Gen San)

Piyesta in Gen San is one of my new favorite places to visit in the city of tunas. It is a quaint resto bar (with videoke) in Robinsons Gen San. I loooved their Kura-sticks (kurat is the vernacular for "surprised). These sticks are made of chilies that were previously de-seeded and then stuffed with ground beef. the stuffed chilies were then wrapped in spring roll wrappers and deep fried to golden perfection. Loves it!

My friends and I also sampled their "gayuma" which is the vernacular for "love potion". This potent mix of rum, tequila, and vodka (im guessing) with strawberry juice goes down very smooth and is actually very tasty for something so packed with alcohol. Plus, they serve this shots of potion in little test tubes which i found cute

I chugged down seven gayuma shots without batting an eye lash. I LOOOOVE it!

Rai Rai Ken

Whenever we do not have food at home (because we were too buy or too lazy to cook) we go to Rai Rai Ken. The food there is lovely! We especially love their Jurassic Maki. It is kind of like a California Maki roll but with some roasted eel on top and some tempura in the middle. It is super yummy!

We also ordered the Chicken Teriyaki Bento It includes some steamed rice, some sauteed veggies, some tempura, dipping sauce, and some chicken teriyaki pieces. It was soooo yum-o!

My cousin ordered his all time fave: Katsudon. This dish is made with deep fried pork cutlets with onions, scrambled eggs, juliened Nori and some Katsu sauce that is all laid on top of some perfectly cooked white rice.

I think the dish below was called Mapo Tofu. I'm not so sure, but it was really good. It had minced pork, some sweet and spicy sauce, and some deep fried tofu squares. It also had scallions, chilies, and garlic.

we ordered their Yakiniko rice (i think). Haha. actually, i dont remember what it was called, im just guessing thats what its called. anyway, it had a lotta bacon on topic..and i looved it

we also had some deep fried squid teriyaki

and some traditional prawn tempuras

Saranggani Highlands

Last May i visited Gen San or work and pleasure. I stopped by one of my all-time favorite places to hang out in : Saranggani Highlands. And although it is easy to get distracted by the gorgeous view and the beautiful exteriors (it is kinda like a gorgeous secret garden), he food is one thing i always look forqard to when i am there.

This time we tried their sesame dusted fried prawns. They were soooo yummy and crunchy. Definitely a must-try. Im gussing the breadcrumbs were dusted with a little all spice to give it a neo-Asian taste to it. Very satisfying.
The salad we ordered was such a pretty dish and it was really really good too. It had sauteed shrimps, cherries, ripe magoes, and some pomelo and a dressing of honey and mustard. It was definitely a yum-o dish.PLUS i like the unique, fresh, tangy, and sweet taste
However, my fave dish was the crispy hito. They deep fried some fish fillets that was glazed with a sweet and tangy sauce and was topped with green mangoes, shrimp paste, tomatoes, onions, and cucumbers. They served it with a deep fried catfish head ad deep fried catfish tail

Red Ribbon Mother's Day Cake

We bought Mama a mother's day cake from Red ribbon during (last) mother's day, and it tasted really nice. :D

It had classic sugar icing and vanilla cake. It was soft, fluffy, and super yummY! Oh, plus it looks really cute..

It kinda looks like it was home made right? Coolness

Grand Men Seng

We had buffet lunch at Grand Men Seng a couple of months ago and I terribly enjoyed it. I think it costs 200 pesos per person so it's pretty affordable..

Their pasta was cooked perfectly, and I really enjoyed the veggie tempura. :D
Their humba as super tender and was super tasty. Their Morcon was suuuuppppeerrr yummy! It wasn't as tender as I would have hoped it to be, but it was really, really yummy!
Yep, that's me. My mouth is to full.Haha
