Dinner and Drink at Vask

It's so sad when people you love are leaving especially if you will now be on different sides of the world and don't know when are you going to meet again. But since our friend got an amazing promotion at work I'd rather be happy and celebrate than let any sadness. The important thing is to stay open and be willing to move beyond self and connect.

Valentines Day 2014

I hope everyone had a nice Valentines Day. Ryan and I don't like crowd and traffic so we moved our dinner date on Saturday instead.

He got a table reservation at Elbert's Steak Room, same place where we had our Valentines date last year. We love this place a lot. Best steak in town especially their porterhouse.❤️

My one and only Valentine. 6 years and counting...

Oh how I love steak night.

Cream of smoked tomato soup with basil foam.

Mango Panacotta and chocolate mousse to end our heavenly meal. 

Opus Restaurant and Lounge

Opus restaurant is one of the nicest dining spot in Manila.  Aside from the finest food, this place just screams elegance and posh. I didn't had the chance to take pictures of the place though but trust me that the place is amazingly designed.

We started our meal with this Mushrooms Go Pink Salad, an organic oyster mushroom with beet root, goat cheese, horse raddish and smoke salmon crust. And 62. C Egg with Crispy Potato and Onion nest, Smoked Duck breast, Grapes and Cranberries, Shaved Foie gras

We also got this Baked Mac and Cheese, It was sooo good, probably the best mac and cheese and I've ever tasted. Creamy and buttery and just kinda melt in your mouth. It was definitely a winner.

For the main course i got the US Angus Beef Wellington with a Roast Baby Carrots and Potato Pave. Ryan got the Opus Tapsilog Version 2.0, it's like a version of beef tapa but more delicious of course. The garlic rice was really tasty and their atchara was in a jelly form but tasted exactly the same as the normal atchara.

6 Years Anniversary

Ryan and i celebrated our 6 years anniversary at Curve, Vask's new champagne room. It was such a sweet night full of champagne and oysters, and steak. ;) We enjoyed the food with every bite.

These oysters were divine. They are imported from different places in France and each one has different taste. Fine de claire is probably the smallest and saltiest, has a good juicy texture and slightly nutty flavor. The Fine de Ronce is much bigger, really tasty and is more meaty.

French Oysters 

For the main course we got the Txuleton 28 days dry aged - bone in US Angus Prime Ribeye with traditional potato and olive oil and Sweet Confit Bell Pepper side dish. Australian Mayura Wagyu Bone Marrow with Garlic Brioche and Capers

Mongkok

11.19.13

I finally got to try out Mongkok Dimsum & Noodles last weekend when i was out my sister and our little ones. I've been wanting to try this restaurant because i saw that they have hainanese chicken but i was pretty disappointed with it. It just wasn't tasty at all and me and sister thought that the meat smelled a little funky. But other than that everything that we ordered tasted great and reasonably priced.

Chef Tatung

If you are craving for a filipino food, Chef Tatung restaurant is the best. I love the twist on classic dishes and on how each dish was freshly and deliciously made. Our favorite was the Aligue Rice with crab fat, egg, and adobo flakes paired with Sugpo in Aligue Sauce, a giant tiger prawn cooked in crab fat and tomato sauce. Another favorite was their Tinumok, a coconut noodles and shrimp wrapped in taro leaves cooked in coconut milk with ginger and chilies and served with a dollop of crab fat. This reminds me a lot of Pinangat my favorite dish in Bicol but of course with a twist here at Chef Tatung. Their Lemon Grass Chicken Relleno was good also, it's a drumstick stuffed with aromatic lemongrass and served with a sweet mango sauce. I also got their Balut (fertilized duck egg) but I didn't really end up eating it because the chick was just too big. It scared the shit out of me. lol. For our dessert we got Pichi Pichi paired with hot kalamansi and pandan flavored hot tea. The Pichi pichi was sooo good that i'm already dreaming of going back there again. :D
