Good food and good company are the best combination in life. Sad to say some of our friends decided to ditch us on the day we planned to fill our tummies with food and laughter.

I hope this entry will fill your cravings. =)

Known as “Little Maginhawa” General Luna St. is a promising food haven for all. We passed by almost half a dozen café and food shops ranging from posh to plain stalls.

Who would go to Malabon and not eat their claim to fame “Pansit Malabon” right?
I don’t know if it just the lighting but that plate is picture perfect and the taste is as good. Topped with generous seafood and veggies, you can’t help but to savor all in one bite.












FYI for non-native:
Pansit Malabon is a yellow-orange colored noodle dish made with patis (fish sauce) and crab fat. Usually topped with meat, seafood and egg.


Pork Sisig
Mflores version of sisig is non-sizzling type. The flawless mayo-mixed sauce brought all the ingredients together. Watch out though, it was insanely delicious that I didn’t realize that it was spicy. By the time we finished ¾ of it my lips are starting to burn. T_T.









Cocina Luna
Perfect for friends’ gather place- with cozy, hip and trendy interiors plus subtle background music is a sure to win millennials’ hearts.



Pulled Pork Burgers 159
Seasoned with BBQ sauce, these three-piece dinner bun is a success. It has bacon, cheese and onion rings, a combination that will never go wrong.

As much as I want to order more from their 2-page menu, I was reminded that our food crawl is far from over so I have to settle with “I can order you next time” feel.

As per my friend, the restroom was really nice with stylish reminder on etiquette.



Bambinellie’s
Concepcion offers a lot of cafés, what strikes this place the most is its happy well-lit interior.
They offer a lot in their menu from simple main dishes to overgenerous desserts.
I actually forgot the names of our dessert orders.


So these are our orders:
The Waffle type dessert consists of kisses, chocolate coated candies, multi-colored sprinkles and Ferrero on top drizzled with generous chocolate syrup. I hope you’ve checked your sugar level coz this one is killer! =)


 
The Drink
This colorful drink is a toothache in a jar. Make sure you had your dentist’s appointment after this.
It comprises of choco candies, brownie, wafer, all-time kid snack iced gems and that sweetmeat hard candy at the back that screams pretty and deadly.


We really wanted to try their main dishes but my belly is shrieking stop… =)




Zoey’s
We did not try their burgers and opted to try their Zoey’s Spicy Sausage.
I’ll give it an OK rating. It was not that spicy, I was imagining teary-eyed, numb-tongue, and who am I taste experience but I was somewhat disappointed that it wasn’t fiery. You might to try it, maybe we just have different spiciness gauge right?




Cups N Cones
To end our day right, we opted for a café near Zoey’s.

Our orders:
Salmon Salad 220 Php
One of the most memorable food we had eaten, savory and non-fishy, tasty and healthy. The fish is cooked right and the lettuce, cherry tomatoes and cheese are the right amount.




Baked Mac 160 Php
Not exceptional. I suggest trying something else.

Frozen Calamansi 60 Php
Only took a sip since it’s not my order to begin with, I liked their version of calamansi juice since the sweetness and tanginess is well balanced and preserved.






Caramel  Macchiato 100 Php
Perfect ending for my belly-full.

Cocina Luna's Red Door


Conventional pizza joint is always a comfort food but what makes CPK different? It boasts about bringing innovative recipes to life with fresh, high quality ingredients.


OUR ORDERS:



 Quesadilla 195 Php
Velveeta and Monterey Jack cheese, chicken, roasted corn and black bean relish, cilantro, jalapeño, drizzled with ranch dressing and topped with tortilla strips. Served with tomato salsa. For a starter, it really paved way to all of the food that was about to come.


Mushroom Dip 195 Php
Abalone, shiitake and button mushrooms oven baked with queso quesadilla and parmesan served with crostinis.


Portobello Mushroom Ravioli 375 Php (personal)
Cremini, Shiitake, Mozzarella and Ricotta ravioli in roasted garlic cream sauce and Parmesan. Love, love and love it.


Baked Penne Florentine 450 Php
Pomodoro sauce, garlic chicken, broccoli florets, mushrooms, baked with Mozzarella and Parmesan. It was good not quite the taste I was expecting but it was on the alright category.


Shrimp Scampi Zucchini Fettuccine 525 Php
Sautéed with lemon, garlic and white wine tossed with zucchini ribbons, fettuccine, parsley and Parmesan. It was light and refreshing definitely in to my calorie count.


The Original BBQ Chicken 245 Php
Their legendary BBQ sauce, smoked Gouda, red onions and cilantro transform this original to iconic. I have to agree this was L-E-G-E-N (wait for it) D-A-R-Y. If you’re not a fan of hand-tossed pizza, you can always ask for crispy thin crust and add 75 Php.


Mushroom Pepperoni Sausage 295 Php
Mushrooms, rustic pepperoni, spicy Italian sausage, torn basil, Mozzarella and oregano; they dubbed it as "MuPeSa" (mup-suh). I was disappointed visually but you know toss all that good ingredients bake it and nothing will ever go wrong.


Forgotten Pizza
I honestly forgot this pizza and what it tastes like. Oh well, it’s one those food that literally passed through your life that you have no recollection of eating.


Cranberry Walnut Chicken 295 Php
Grilled chicken, dried cranberries, walnut, celery, onions, mayonnaise, tomatoes and lettuce served with fries. I figuratively fainted when I tasted this; it was altogether savory, sweet, crunchy and green-y. I found my perfect sandwich.


Crispy Chicken 325 Php
A baby serving of chicken and fries; perfect items for kids eating tug of war style.



Say Cheese Milkshake 275 Php
Tagged as their must-try. Its mixture of mozzarella smoked gouda, monterey jack and shaved Parmesan blended with vanilla ice cream topped with whipped cream and Nueske's applewood smoked bacon.


Red Velvet 275 Php
Now that the red velvet craze died down, I now appreciate drinks made out of the cream cheese goodness. Definitely a thumbs–up.  


Chocolate Banana Smoothie 195 Php
My sis loves banana so no comment. =)


Pecorino Romano Cheesecake with Raspberry Puree 245 Php
The loooooonnnngggg name took me a short time to finish this dish. Yep, it’s THAT good.


Red Velvet Cookie Sundae 125 Php
I know I had the Red velvet milkshake but dessert is whole new different entity. I don’t see the redundancy of eating this in one seating so they happily reunited in my tummy.



The Side Story...
Back to the question if “Can Pizza Kill”, well technically no but combined with all these delicious fare its hard to tell, I was concentrating to burp - not barf.

Hokkaido Takoyaki

Located at Ground Floor SM Supermarket.

Takoyaki is a ball shaped Japanese snack made of batter and cooked in a pan. It will be then sprinkled with the green laver(powdered seaweed) and topped with bonito (fish)/meat shavings.

OUR ORDERS:



Original (octopus) 99 Php
Original takoyaki consists of minced octopus inside the batter. This is the most basic and common flavor on your usual Japanese snack joints. I like this flavor better indeed nothing beats the original.



Kani and mozzarella (crabstick) 99 Php
An innovative flavor of takoyaki, made of crabsticks and yes mozzarella. An IT ingredients individually but it was bland for me.

Bacon and Cheese 99 Php
A perfect pair in every way. (I ordered this on a different day so no pictures sorry.) This one is to oily for me since I’m imagining putting oil outside then adding oil (this time your bacon) again inside and after some time all that oil sink in your ball of takoyaki.




The Side Story...
My magic hands accidentally bumped the two boxes clasped in my hands making the all gorgeous takoyaki messy and free spirited (wahaha).
A friendly reminder, takoyaki is best eaten hot but be very cautious of tongue burns.
