Food Trip!

My college friends invited me to dinner last December 15th. We met at Ayala Triangle at around 7 PM. Most of them were already there when I arrived. When I got there, they told me they chose several restaurants and reserved a table. Because everyone was so busy no one thought of making reservations earlier. There was even a Christmas lights show every hour in the Triangle so we decided to watch that while waiting. It was my first time to see it even though I've worked in Makati City a couple of years ago for a few years. 

We waited for a long time until a table was available, and Wee Nam Kee was the first to have a table for us ( we estimated there would be 10 of us ) so that made our choice.

1. Chicken Rice Large - 6-8 persons. Choice of steamed, roasted or mixed.
2. Barbecued Pork (Asado)
3. Cereal Prawns
4. Honey Crisp Squid
5. Kangkong
6. Fried Rice - good for 3-4 people
7. HK Style Birthday Noodles






It was a nice time to see old friends and I guess I'm going to make an effort to be in touch with them from now on. Besides, there's facebook, twitter, and all these technologies, there's no excuse anymore.










Food Trip!

I had lunch a couple of months ago at Gerry's Grill. I treated a family member to lunch because it was her birthday and it's been a while since I've been to Gerry's Grill.

We ordered Tahong ala Pobre, which is mussels with spicy sauce. It's also sprinked with garlic on top. I reall liked this but it was too spicy for me. We also had Sizzling (Pork) Sisg. This is one of the house specialties. The picture is not mine and very deceiving. They don't serve that much. For the rice, we ordered the Adobong Puso. The rice is wrapped in a banana leaf and is mixed with pork adobo. This is usually for 3-4 peope but based on my experience ( this is the second time I had it ), it's just good for 2 people if you have healthy appetites. For our drinks, I ordered a green mango shake and my relatived just ordered a soda. Between the two of us, we were able to finish everything. We must have been really hungry because we were shopping. I guess it's okay since we went back to malling after lunch. I also went to Gongcha and grabbed a large Caramel Milk Tea to take home. Overall, it was a very good day.
