When we eat out with my family, we make it a point to order different dishes and share the food with everybody so that we can have a wide assortment of taste.
…I like it 🙂 Then, the following dishes were served and I’ll try to describe them with short phrases below: Sambal Krupuk (Prawn Crackers with Sambal) — Interesting Twist Pandan Ayam ( Pandan Chicken) — All bones Sayur Lodeh (Sweet Light Vegetable Curry) – Yummy curry Cucumber Salad – Just the right amount of sweetness Kangkong Belachan (Spicy Garlic Kangkong) — ordinary kangkong Ikan Dilis (Fried Sweet Anchovies and Peanuts) — Mother’s choice! … Fried Fish in Tamarind Sauce — healthier option but lacking in taste Nasi Goreng (Indonesia Fried Rice) — very good although not sure if the taste is authentic Rice Table is located besides Bed Scene in south wing of Entertainment Mall facing Manila Bay.

We were expecting the our jambalaya would be full of shrimps, squid and mussels like it was in the menu but to our dismay the paella rice was all over the dish! … So I will pause for now for my rants about Gumbo and I do hope that my readers who have a different experience with Gumbo (please post them in the comments).

… It was surprising also that their only piece of advertising poster was a printout of Lori’s description in her posts ” 5 of the best chocolate cakes in Manila ” Chocolate Cakes from Chocolat (from dessertcomesfirst.blogspot.com ) This little store in Quezon City is perhaps the best-kept secret of hard-core chocoholics.

Where can you eat authentic tasty Cebu Lechon, yummy Pampanga Sisig, sweet, smelly Durian and juicy Suha of Davao, fresh seafood from Roxas City complete with a “Dampa” cooking service concept all in one place?
…My Taste Asia Favorites Fresh Seafood cooked the way you like it 🙂 I would say that the seafood is fresher than the Seafood Dampa along Macapagal Blvd. … Even though they have a buy 5 take 1 promo (P60/bottle), this still does not compare with the happy hour promo of Pier 1 or Aruba which would sell san might light at P30-P35 per bottle from 5pm-8pm.
