Resto Hop : Thrill at the Factory of Spaghetti

To be honest, I just had a play of words on the title for this post. It's really not a factory of spaghetti per se. But somehow closer. Well, majority of the dishes served here were pastas or noodles.

Actually, I was really talking about Spaghetti Factory in Ayala Center Cebu. This just beside or at the back of Dessert Factory. If my memory is correct, this franchise was owned by my literature teacher. Well, I saw her when I was here ^______^ ..



Anyways, we were hungry and decided to eat dinner here. This was not my first time. But it's been awhile since my last meal so I kindda missed this place.

So when we got here, I was a little excited what to try this time. The meal I had here from my previous visits were delicious enough to had me coming back. 

In the menu, we ordered the following :

For Appetizer : Creamy Spinach Dip (new)

For The Main Course : Beef Tenderloin

For Dessert : Tiramisu & Mango Crepe 

THE APPETIZER

  

I had tried the spinach dip in Oh Georg (Ayala Branch of Cafe Georg) restaurant. However compared to the one I had with Spaghetti Factory, it has less spinach. I am a fan of vegetables so I'd prefer this one.

THE MAIN COURSE

When I ordered this Beef Tenderloin, I had Baby Back Ribs in mind. So I was a little shocked when my order arrived. I was a little skeptic if this was tasty. And after a few bites, I could say it is pretty good and creamy.

THE DESSERT

 

We wanted to try the best desserts they had to offer. So we ordered Tiramisu and Mango Crepe. The mango crepe overpowered our taste buds from tIramisu. But both were very delicious  And you cant go wrong with choosing the crepe since when it was served to us, it was good for two people.

We had a very good dinning experience here. The staff were as accommodating as they should be. It was never a wrong choice to drop by again.

Very well done Spaghetti Factory!!

Resto Hop : La Tegola's Italian Cuisine

     

       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.

Foodies

 Bon Apetit.

Pizzacovery : A Pizzeria Challenge

As part of a celebration, me and my workfriends went out and eat at Mamma Maria's Pizzeria   (G/F Skyrise 1 Asia Town IT Park Branch). We underestimated the serving size thinking we were too hungry to not finish a 13xxl (good for 12 people). We were just 5 people but without hesitation, we ordered a 30inch pizza as seen in the picture. I am not that fond of pizza but this one is really good. This order also comes with 2 1.5L-bottle of softdrinks of your choice. This cost us Php 1,135. We ate 2/3 and brought the rest home. The staff were pretty much accommodating. I went home so full and happy! Try this guys and I dare you on the Pizzeria Challenge!
