EAT MAKATI: WOODEN SPOON

/ venicedelacruz / Leave a comment

I don’t know why we never go here when I know for a fact it will be a good meal. We decided to have dinner here to celebrate my birthday. (I know! It feels like I aged 3 years since we’ve been celebrating several times)

Crab Pancit for Php 229 This is a must try! This is one of my favorites. ❤ and it’s one of their best sellers too. I don’t know why but my family is not a fan.

20200127_200056

Binagoongan for Php 299 Again, a favorite. ❤ It’s not woah for me but it was good too. However, there’s a lot of fat. :/

20200127_200122

Crunchy Garlic Bangus for Php 350 It’s so crispy, I’m gonna dieeee! I like mine crispy! Thumbs up!

20200127_200140

Stuffed Pechay for Php 205 The bomb! I love pechay alone, stuff it with pork, drenched in coconut and a bit of spice. ❤ LOVE.

Pork Sisig for Php 275 This is one of my husband’s requests! I hate cartilage and the small bones. Luckily, everything is as crispy as it should be. ❤

We also ordered Kare Kare for Php 375. But since I don’t eat such, I forgot to take a picture. HAHA. Sorry. :/

Honestly cannot pick just 1 viand. Everything is so, SO GOOD. ❤ I gained and keep on gaining. 😦 But glad to be sharing a meal with my loved ones. ❤

EAT ALABANG: PARMIGIANO

The place is open and surrounded by glass. It’s lit with sun so the entire place is bright, which is why I also like it. ❤ We had a reservation that’s why we were able to get a table. I suggest you do the same because while we were there, there’s a couple of groups which they had to turn down because the place was full and tables were already reserved.

Anyway, so we ordered a LOT. It seems like all Filipinos are – we are afraid to go hungry. 😀

Paella Negra for Php 690

Thanks to my husband, this is now one of my favorite food to order anywhere. I’m glad that the serving of seafood is very generous. The calamari was still crispy and the actual squid is not gummy and not just flour. The paella is flavorful unlike some where it tends to get bland. Love, love, love this. ❤

Pasta del Parmigiano Pasta (Parmigiano Wheel) for Php 520

I didn’t get to taste this but according to my sister and brother in law, they really liked this. I think the serving can be for 2-3 if you ordered other food to go with this.

Tomato Cream Spaghetti Al Gambheri for Php 825

20200126_130007

4 Stagioni for Php 485 

This is basically veggie pizza – Tomato based topped with artichokes and mushrooms. This is a no for me. I’m definitely not their customer.

20200126_130452

Carnivora for Php 550 

Pollo Al Mattone for Php 720

There’s a lot of food I didn’t get to try. I apologize. 😛 Hahaha. BUT, a lot of good feedback.

Serving is good for groups. ❤ Next time, I’ll stick to pasta and paella. ❤ Happy Birthday to me! ❤

To the most assertive, strong-willed, terrifying person that I know, Happy Happy Birthday. ❤

My mother, being selfless that she is spent her birthday renewing her children’s passport. Thanks for going with us, Ma!

And a delicious, tummy bloating dinner followed at Circles, Shangrila Makati.

Thanks, Ma! We all love you! ❤

EVERYDAY: Father’s Day ’19

Father’s deserve to be celebrated too! I’m too guilty of this. I am grateful for my mom for everything that sometimes I often forget fathers do their hardwork.

We had some Italian food, pastas and pizza are the best!

And some more family pictures to make it seem a legit celebration of dads!
