Amici, Makati City

Amici is right beside Don Bosco Church in Makati City, along Pasay Road. Amici serves Italian food. They accept credit card(s). They open late, 11AM. They deliver: (02) 87878, it is under City Delivery. ;)

Spaghetti al Pomodoro, Php198.00
Tomato base pasta, tossed in a flavorful blend of classic tomato sauce, parmessan cheese and fresh basil.





Spaghetti ai Tesori del Mare, Php290.00
Olive oil base pasta. A mildy spicy feast of spaghetti tossed in fresh tomatoes, scallops, clams, mussels and chili oil.

Nicciola Gateau, Php85.00
Indulge in hazelnut cream cheese and rich dark chocolate in layers of crunchy meringue. A cara Mia favorite. ♥ I had two slices! Very delicious!

I was very happy with my olive oil base pasta and my dessert! About the tomato base pasta, I find it boring. I'm sorry. Next time, I'll try something different! Amici is pricey but worthy IF you'll order wisely! ;)

PORK ASADO SIOPAO
It was good but I like 711's siopao ♥

PINEAPPLE JUICE
I thought it was a shake at first glance. :P

Bag of Beans, Tagaytay City

Bag of beans popular product is the "SHEPERD's PIE". We went here two different days and they don't have it! Excellent! :) oh they have it on the second day BUT it was a FAMILY SIZE, Php495.00. How come they have a family size sheperd's pie and they can't serve a single piece!? I think it's called... Marketing. Good for them but not for me! ;)

So, we decided to order the "STEAK AND KIDNEY" (FYI: kidney of baka). EWW!? I know right? So here is it...

Steak and kidney pie, Php120.00


Chocolate mousse, Php105.00

Leslie's, Tagaytay City

LESLIE's
Tagaytay City

You can find LESLIE's in Tagaytay City in "Magallanes", it is along the high way. Leslie's is also known for their bulalo and other specialty dishes. Oh! the singing waiters there is famous too!

We were there, dinner time. The only negative thing happened... INSECTS! So, don't forget your handy insect repeller, if you will come visit here at dinner time. ;) *Don't bring flowers!*

Ensaladang mangga, YUM! The bagoong was sweet enough, love't!

Grilled tuna belly, good for two-three peeps. We like the sauce, on top of this tuna belly! Believe it or not, we did not finish our food because we got bloated by the bulalo soup, hihi!



How can I forget... Leslie's singing waiters! ♥




Thank you very much! ♥

RSM
Tagaytay City

RSM in Tagaytay City is one of the popular bulalohan restaurant! We arrived there so early around 10:00AM. Brunch it is! Windy day + bulalo = L ♥ V E!

Forgive me for not taking more photos because I was excited and busy to eat! :)

BULALO, good for three peeps. The bulalo was very soft and tasty! My only suggestion is... more veggies please, because eating the bulalo alone made me feel guilty. (Health conscious, kuno!) ^_^

Post birthday escape with the man I love. Great timing the weather is perfect! :) Cloudy and windy, just what I wanted... Actually, more than what I wanted... Grateful, yes I am! ♥

As we arrived to the hotel, around 11:00AM. The check-in time is 2:00PM. I tried my luck and they let us in because the room was already prepared. ^_^ As we C.I. they asked for Php2,000.00 deposit, for advance payment for some hotel service(s) IF we'll gonna avail something. You must keep your deposit slip because you'll be needing it when you check-out.

Welcome drinks good for two adults and two children.

We reserved a SUPERIOR ROOM worth Php6,500.00 for the normal room charge BUT since I have a SM Advantage Card it was discounted to Php3,388.00 only! Thanks to SM Corporation. :) Just in time for my birthday, only to mention this promo will run until the 31st of October 2011 only.

And now, Breakfast buffet, (intercontinental breakfast). Not inclusive. Php638.00/head.










I didn't take much photo from the breakfast buffet because I was busy eating LOL. Though I didn't really enjoyed the buffet. They have coffee, hot chocolate drink, fresh juice (watermelon, melon, orange, and pineapple), pancakes (you may choose from strawberry syrup, maple syrup and choclate syrup), friend bacon, steamed and fried tocino rice, lots of bread (we had toasted tasty bread, banana bread and ensaymada), pandesal, muffin, congeee, champurado, omelette (your choice of omelette, we had tomatoes, mushroom, cheese and ham), salad bar (which we didn't bother to touch because it didn't look fresh).

My rating for the food is 6, 10 is the highest. Not good enough food for a buffet.

Over all rating for the hotel is 8.

Experience, VIKINGS?

VIKINGS, is located at PASAY CITY, Mall of Asia, By the bay (right side). What is VIKINGS? VIKINGS is the place to be when it comes to BUFFET!

They have LUNCH buffet, from 11:00AM - 2:30PM, for only Php688.00 and DINNER BUFFET, from 6:00PM-9:30PM for only Php888.00.
