Thai at Silk @ Piazza Serendra

By

They still need to improve a lot on the food which tasted ordinary (mostly) and it is a filipinized Thai version that is more on the sweet side. … Net, I guess we just came at the bad time when the kitchen is already closing at 2pm in the afternoon but still, there was no excuse for that, maybe they should have closed their doors to us. … This would also be a gauge for me if it is time to go back and get an awesome worth of what I pay for my food and service.

Duo of Serendra: Chef Mao and Larry Cortez

By

Overall, it is still far from a JSG experience and a toned down Le Souffle, but the Duo promise of excellent food and impeccable service is perfect for that dinner date or a special love one occasion.
…So it was perfect, that they have a Duo Steak specials and we were contemplating to order Surf and Turf or this Fish and Meat. My wife was disappointed that the fish tasted and looked like the fillet o fish from Mcdonald’s without the bun =( I was tempted to get a refund for this but the servers and chef Mau were too nice that I forgot about this ordeal.

Aloha Polu Kai!

I did not know what to expect when we would say Hawaiian food but you could imagine how the ambiance would feel like. I think this is the first time I’ve eaten in a Hawaiian restaurant so I don’t know if it really should be hot and spicy or is it a fusion of western and asian food. … Soup, Salads and Appetizers Grilled and Main Courses Pizza, Sidings and Desserts BTW, just a word of caution, I’ve eaten in most of the Serendra restaurants and you should expect about 20% premium in most of the restaurants here.

Cupcakes+Sonja: Opening Nights

By

Sonja is getting a lot of trials and repeat customers which signifies that this is a start of something good 🙂 The place is quite homey with the retro bakeshop feel to it which I believe, perfectly matches with the Serendra concept.
…One of my blog post about Sonja’s has been framed and posted on the wall 🙂 When I asked Sonja for a free copy of the press kit with the CD, I asked her to autograph my press kit copy (naks). … Btw, I only get to know Sonja through my blog and the first time I met her was when I ordered a dozen of the assorted cupcakes .

Mezzaluna-First Night High!

By

The Chef Miguels (Carlo + brother, Anton who is now in Australia), are famous at one time for catering to special events/ occasions and they usually cooked at the venue itself (could be your own home). I had many failed attempts in the past to schedule such events with these Chefs, and that is why I was so curious to check them out when they opened Mezzaluna in Serendra.
…My wife can’t get enough of it, but we have to be extra careful of the calories that comes with it 🙂 The Angus beef was OK and I had a mistake of ordering medium well which turned out to be well done.

Cupcakes by Sonja: Soft Opening

Also, you might be wandering where have I been and have not been updating my blog. I don’t usually announce in my blog if I will be traveling outside the country with the hope that I can continue to blog. … Anyway, I’ve been to London, UK and I can’t wait to post my experience.

Piazza Serendra slowly coming to life…

By

I visited Serendra last Friday night and still only a few people know that Guava (Aug. 11) and Gaudi (Aug. 15) are opened already. … There are still a lot of construction happening in the place and my estimate that it would be fully operational in September. The ground floor of Piazza is all restaurants so Imagine my delight in seeing all the new names exclusive only in Serendra.

Oh my Guava!

They can’t believe that I do photography as a hobby and I don’t get compensated for it — they probably think I’m nuts ( But you all know how I love what I’m doing ). … When I told them that I blog places I go to and I want to feature their restaurant, one of the owners again gave me a frown ( I told myself, why do I even bother give this resto free advertising ).
…Nothing exciting but there are big slices of Ubod which taste OK together with the sweet wanseuy dressing. < no photo, sour graping > Guava’s Kare Kare with Bagoong Tsokolate (P385).

Piazza Serendra — I can’t Wait!

By

I’ve been driving along Market Market these past couple of days waiting to see a glimpse of this great place soon to open in the heart of Serendra. I can still remember the excitement of people when The FORT opened in the middle of vast empty land space and it was THE place to be. … The opening of Piazza at Serendra will have the same excitement and feeling specially with a few signature stores opening including the Chef Miguels @ Mezzaluna.
