Dining Solo at Persian Grill

I came to work too early and that's unusual and without anything to do I decided to take myself on a date. Dining solo was always something scary for me and definitely didn’t like to venture on to. But as I grew older the dreaded solo dining became part of bucket list. Sooner or later one has to face the challenge of eating alone. I've been in to several restaurants to dine solo mainly because I want to spend some time alone thinking and eating good food. One more things I'd like to get of my bucket list is to go in a bar and grab a drink - solo, But I don’t think I can at the moment, The though still scares me. 

Now, down to this cute lil’ Persian Restaurant, Plus points for the interiors and the background music. The staff was really friendly and accommodating. 

There were only a few specialties or Chef's recommended item in the menu so I went for the Hummus and Pita and for the main course I got the Chelo Kebab Makhsos and for Dessert I got the Pistachio Baklava which was heavenly in every bite.

National Siblings Day @ Recipes

To celebrate National Siblings Day I decided to treat my sibs to an early dinner before going to work. It is seldom that we would go out for Filipino Food but I got this crazy craving for Recipes' Catfish - Green Mango perfectly paired with Crispy Tilapia. Yummy! 

Le Menu

Catfish Green Mango

Lechon Kawali With Kangkong
Belly slices, kangkong in vinegar and soy sauce 
I think It would've been better without the sauce at the bottom because it doesn't give off that crunchy texture we like in our Lechon Kawali.

Crispy Tilapia
Fillet Strips, sweet and spicy soy sauce on the side
This is heaven. I don't like fish that much but this is sooooooooo good! A must try! :) 

General's Chicken
Thigh fillet chunks, eggplant slices, Recipes' special sweet - spicy sauce

Too bad we didn't have a group pic because my other sister took forever to return to the restaurant and my brother was sleeping in another time zone. But here's A throwback pic of us together.. from another resto.. hihi ^_^v

BBQ sa Kanto

I went outside to buy meds at around 7:00 PM and to my surprise the Barbeque stall at our kanto was still open. Its usually open at around 3:00 PM - 6:00 PM and most of the time its always sold out, but today they are still open. I didn't ask why I just grabed 10 pcs of pork BBQ and 4 isaw.  BBQ was just 10 bucks  per stick and the Isaw were 5 bucks per stick. I SUPER LOVE THIS BBQ the marinade is just divine. Its definitely a must try when you get to Project 8 :)  

Lucky me! ^_^

ISAW

Hello there you yummy goodness come to my tummy ^_^

Lovin this Pork Barbeque

Vinegar Dip is simply delish too! :) 

Brasas Latin American Street Food

We went to Brasas SM North Annex for my Le Sisters Post Birthday Dinner and to see a movie. During our birthdays its already a tradition to eat outside and go to restos that we haven't tried yet. But for some reason our schedules aren't jiving so we have to resched and when we finally got the same time off from work we were all too lazy to go far,  I was suggesting Tajimaya Yakiniku Restaurant but we figured that we're too lazy to go out that far.. and yes.. its far :P 

So we went to the nearest mall, SM North Annex and tried out Brasas. We we're really not that hungry and my other sister is on diet she just had the soup.. what a bummer >.<

The Food was great and I remember El Chupacabra because.. well.. they have the same concept of Street food :P haha Plus the Patacones it reminded so much of El Chupacabra. 

Hello Brasas! :)

Over all food was great! :) Enjoyed all the Appetizer to the main entrees. The Guarapo though was too sweet for me I had to ask for another glass full of ice and I was able to make 2 cups of  Guarapo since its that sweet. 

Unfortunately we we're not able to try any chicken dish since my other sister was not eating.. bummer >.< Maybe next time. :)
After eating here I started to hum the chant for the game PATAPON.. maybe because of the PATACONES.. gah! Cray! >.<

Stacy's

It's one of those sponteneous moments when you and your friends just suddenly decide that you would see each other, that we got to try Stacy's at The Fort. My friends and I are working in the same building in BGC but we rarely see each other because of our schedules. So when we got the chance to finally see each other and catch up I suggested Stacy's and It was a good choice. The place is so dainty and so Cath Kidston-ish.

The food was delish. The servers we're really nice and offered to take pictures too.
