Our Order: kuya’s Adobo, Binagoongan, Gising Gising
Rarely is Adobo given the main billing in Restaurants. Adobo connection gives Adobo center stage as they serve different kinds of Adobo. And they make their adobo just right.
Adobo Connection’s Kuya’s Adobo was good. It was saucy ( i prefer my adobo dry) but nonetheless it was good and affordable.
The binagoongan was served differently from the binagoongans i have tasted. It did not have much bagoong but it was flavorful. And good too.
The gising gising was okay too.

When: June 28, 2012
What were Ordered: Nyonya Pai Tee, hainanese chicken, roast chicken, braised chicken,Hong kong kai lan with oyster sauce, ice cendol, fresh lime with sour plum and kuching 3 layered tea.
The Nyonya Pai Tee and Hong Kong kai lan were first served. Both dishes were delicious. It was my first time to taste both dishes (though i probably have tasted the kai lan before). I really loved the Nyonya Pai Tee and the 4pcs (P78) was not enough.
The Fresh lime and Kuching Tea were served also and i must say the Kuching 3 Layered tea was simply great. Will definitely order this again if i go back.
The Chicken dishes all followed soon after a few minutes. I was disappointed in my first bite of the roast chicken, got disappointed as well with the hainanese and braised chicken. Though it did not taste awful it simply lacked “flavor”. The accompanying sauces did not help also as they were lackluster as well. The ginger sauce just simply disappoints.
It was then on to the Ice Cendol. I had tasted a lot of ice cendol when we were in Malaysia so my standard was high and like the Chicken dishes it was not met.
What: Late Lunch

Where: Sumulong Circle, Antipolo City
What were Ordered: Korean Beef Bbq, Korean Pork Bbq, Beef Bulgogi
The food at Trick’s, though not really bad tasting, there is nothing Korean about it. Of all the Korean Restaurants i have eaten at. Trick’s is at the bottom.
Pampanga boasts of 2 Famous Halo Halo Makers, the Razon’s and the Kabigting’s. Both are simple compared to the regular Halo Halo. I usually do not prefer the simple Halo Halo but it changed when i tasted Kabigting’s.
I find Kabigting’s Halo Halo more exciting than Razon’s. The pastillas added to the Halo Halo is what gives it more appeal in my opinion. Aside from the pastillas, the other ingredients that make up Kabigting’s Halo-Halo are mashed Kidney Beans and corn kernels.

What was Ordered: Buffet P295 Adult
This was our 2nd time to eat at Bale Kapampangan. The food here is delicious. I love their Kare Kare! The bagoong they serve is equally delicious too. My other favorite is their fried Hito and Vegetables with Buro. Their Lechon Kawali here is good also. I was not able to try the other dishes but my co eating companions said they were good too.
At P295, Bale Kapampangans Buffet is a good choice to satisfy your craving for Kapampangan Food.
What: Brunch
Where: Conti’s Katipunan Avenue, Quezon City
What Were Ordered: Roast Beef with Mushroom Sauce (P295), Parmesan Fish Fillet with Parsley Sauce (P240), Hearty Club Sandwhich (P245), Freshly Squeezed Dalandan Juice (P95), Viennese Mocha Torte (P95)
Roast Beef in Mushroom Sauce – Slices of beef in mushroom sauce served with buttered and mashed potatoes
Parmesan Fish Fillet – Served with buttered vegetable and almond pilaf.
Healthy Club Sandwhich – double decker sandwhich of crispy bacon, sliced ham, chicken salad and cheddar cheese on french toast bread. Served with Chips.
I really love the Hot Dog Sandwhiches from Bangers. Better than Sabrett’s in my opinion.
The price of Bangers is a bit on the High Side. But you get what you pay for.
