Restohop : Quick Meal @ Figaro

A few months ago, my friends invited me to watch a movie. They decided to meet up at Figaro (Ayala Branch). I quite know the place since it was not hard to look for it when you reach Ayala Terraces. 

                                                  

The place was quite full at that time so we kindda had hard time in finding the perfect spot to stay when we got here. Since it took us long before we get to buy the movie ticket, I got hungry. So I ordered something here.

I did not know much the bestseller dishes in this place so I asked for advise from the waiter near the counter. He suggested me to try Chicken Tetrazzini (whoa!! I sound italian just by saying its name hahhaah) .Based on research, this is kind of chicken pasta with Parmesan cheese and creamy mushroom sauce.

This dish was tasty enough to almost had me ordering for another. hehehe. Yeah! this was definitely DELICIOUS.

I'm looking forward to get back here and have a full course meal:)

Till then.

Bon Appetit.

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!!

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!
