on the platter
     
       Deadlines have been catching up lately. So, it was pretty much difficult to have food trips. July ended without the foodies going anywhere. At the start of August, everyone's taste buds were eager to taste some dishes. Then, we agreed to try Italian cuisine which leads us to this restaurant in Ayala Center Cebu - The Terraces named as "La Tegola". I don't know where the name comes from but as per google translate, la tegola means "the tile". Hmm, I was wondering which tile it was referring to. 



    Anyways, as we entered the resto, a lady guided us to our seats and we started flipping the pages of the menu. Well honestly, without the ingredients of the dishes listed, I would have been lost on the dish's names. 

On the table, there was an appetizer served.Definitely, it was really an appetizer. Because after finishing the whole plate, we were so eager to have our meal.


        Since none of us knew which tastes the best, each of us ordered a dish different from the other. And also we tried the combo pasta which contains 6 types of pasta dishes.




 

     When everyone started eating, no one spoke a word which was a sign that each of us were concentrating on the food we ate. After the whole course, everyone agreed that all were sumptuous!! The food orders plus a few drinks billed an amount of Php 2180. Quite expensive for 4 people, I know. But as per my taste buds is concern, "the price is just right".

      Trying Italian Cuisine was a good experience. I had one memorable meal at La Tegola. Hope to eat again here and try more of their dishes.

     After the fun after-party last July 29 2012, my friends suggested to drop by at some store in Ibabao, Mandaue City to eat. And we came into this store near the street. It looks some kind of a short-stop eatery (kainan). I don't really have an idea what they sell at first but then my friends started ordering "batchoy". If you don't know what batchoy is go to this link >> Batchoy Information . I am not that noodles or pasta fan. So I was kindda hesistant ordering batchoy. But then, I was curious why these people were ordering it.  Maybe, it's the store's specialty (who knows). Out of hunger and curiosity, I ordered one.

     As seen above, it looked delicious. And smell was so enticing. I grabbed the spoon and starting sipping the soup. Well honestly, it was delicious. No wonder my friends brought me here. Batchoy in that store was definitely worth a try. Well, I was short of info about the exact name of the store and location. I'll post it here as soon as I get the info.


Bon Apetit.
