Inggo Noms...

When we had breakfast at Marina, Beloved and I noticed that a nearby place also serves breakfast-all-you-can at a competitive but a bit more expensive price. A couple of months later, we get to try it out. Beloved and I had breakfast at Fiorgelato. It sounds like a gelato place, and it is. But apparently, this one is found below a hotel (I think) that they were assigned to provide breakfast for their patrons (I believe). So, don’t expect any ice cream in this one.

Beloved and I had dinner at The Mango Tree Bistro, which is a newly-opened restaurant at Trinoma, taking part of the floor area of Powerbooks at the third floor, last night. This is a Thai restaurant with a dimly-lit interior making it not the coziest place, especially for solar-powered bouncing cow bearing denizens. Of course, I doubt you’ll be one, and if you go here, you’re probably craving for a rarity in the Metro that is Thai cuisine, or are just curious. We happen to be the latter.

Beloved and I had dinner at Bite Club last night. You know how I always mention how every other burger joint I’ve reviewed has a variation of the phrase “isn’t the biggest burger I’ve had”? Well, this place offers it. I’ve been a fleeting customer of this place, more so when I was still living at Project 4.

After our wonderful dinner at Cyma, Beloved wanted to have dessert, so we passed by the newly opened Gelatissimo at Trinoma, just a small walk away from Cyma. Because I said this was a dessert and its name pretty much says it, perhaps I don’t need to say what this store specializes in. But I will. Gelatissimo is a gelato cafe. And it’s not just the usual small-stall gelato shop or ones found within an Italian resto. This really is a cafe. This is the Starbucks of gelato. Of course, being the Starbucks of gelato, I expected this to be pretty expensive as well. However, since we did spend a bit on Cyma, I guessed spending a bit more on Gelatissimo wouldn’t hurt, so I let Beloved have her way.

Beloved and I had dinner at Cyma last night. This Greek-specializing resto is located at the fourth floor alfresco area of Trinoma where pretty much all of the expensive high-end restos are located. We went here because Beloved wanted salad. Yeah, I know. Anyway, I was really reserved from going here because I have no idea what Greece cuisine is all about. The only Greek food I know of is gyro and the only other Greek-specializing restaurant I know of is Go Greek!, which I haven’t yet tried but heard praises from their salads. I assume that this place has great salad, so we readied our wallets hoping for the best.

Last mornight, Beloved and I ate breakfast at San Seh Noodle House. This cozy little place is located at the rotonda of Timog Avenue and Tomas Morato. We were there at around 4am in the morning because we broke our body clocks and became nocturnal for the past week. Hungry, we were deciding between the more popular fastfood usuals, Chowking or McDonald’s; or 24 hour pizza places open in the area, Yellow Cab or Shakey’s. We noticed that this place was open as well, so we risked trying it out.

After dinner at Sushi Katsu, we went to Dezaato Pan for dessert. Dezaato Pan is a cafe that serves bread, coffee, gelato and the most aesthetically-pleasing cakes. It’s usually beside a Tempura Grill restaurant. Dezaato means dessert while Pan means bread in Japanese. I decided to go here because of the parfait but sadly, the Tomas Morato branch didn’t have it. Instead, I got their Green tea gelato while Inggo got the French Vanilla gelato for (55php) each. There are other unique flavors which was priced a bit higher than what we’ve ordered. I also got the Choco Otaku bread for (50php) for takeout. The bread here is self-service similar to Bread Talk. Oh, and the bread gets a 30% discount if its past 7pm.

Beloved and I had dinner at Sushi Katsu earlier tonight. This might just be one of the few remaining Japanese restaurants we’ve yet to try. I’ve heard some positive feedback from a couple of friends, so I’m expecting something. However, Japanese restaurants are usually the same old stuff with some kind of specialty or gimmick. Because it’s in the name, I assume that the sushi here is higher than par. We’ve passed by here a couple of times in the past couple of months, and both those times, the place was closed. Tonight, however, it was open. Although we weren’t really feeling like sushi, Beloved in particular wanting curry, we decided to take the opportunity to try it out.

After the event we went to last night, me and Beloved and our friends passed by World Class Persian Kebab. I’ve never heard of this place before even though we’ve basically eaten at every affordable place at Tomas Morato. My friend says this is the best place for Persian food at extremely affordable prices as well. He also mentions that this place is open 24 hours. When we got there, I realize why I’ve never seen this place before. It is located at the corner of Tomas Morato and E. Rodriguez, the side of Tomas Morato we have little reason to go to. Perhaps this visit to World Class Persian Kebab would give us reason now.

Beloved and I went to an event last night. But, before going to the venue, we passed by a nearby Slice n’ Dice steakhouse nearby. I’ve eaten in this franchise before at different branches—particularly the Visayas Ave., Kalayaan, and Katipunan branches, so I pretty much know what to order and what to expect. I’ve also eaten here while they were still named “In n’ Out”, so I pretty much know that this place has been around for quite some time. The particular branch we went to is found at Timog Avenue at the section closer to GMA. This is basically a budget restaurant specializing in T-bone steak. The prices are quite affordable with generous serving sizes, so it’s always one of those places we go by every once in a while.
