Good food, great company!  Still can't get enough of our pigging out yesterday.  Oh, I met my high school barkada at Mega Fashion hall yesterday after almost a year.  Both of them are based abroad, Ruthie a consultant in Avon, Japan and Tweet is based in Guam and a FA in Continental micronesia.  One of the reasons why we get along - is our love for food. We craved for pizza and pasta: we had lunch at Linquini fini... and then dessert - my friend Ruthie suggested we try Dolcelatte at the 5th floor.   I cook and bake, so I'm a bit hard to please when it comes to food.  Hmmm.. It was supposed to be dessert time!!! : but when my friend Tweet saw the mouth-watering pizzas on the menu, she insisted to order.  She told us that it was pizza she had in mind. (that she should've had earlier). She ordered the Parma artichoke gourmet pizza : It's so good! (5 stars for this!)   We just had lunch but was able to finish 2 slices of this.  ...

I am not really a foodie...

Actually I learned about this resto by watching "DZMM Teleradyo" and by following the likes of Martin Nievera and Sam Milby on Instagram.  Dong Juan Restaurant, was originally from Cebu city.  Well it's been years since I have been to Cebu, but I have not tried this yet.  Anyway, Mr. Ahwel Paz one of the hosts of "Mismo" on DZMM was one of the owners of the resto (they mentioned this on one of their segments in Mismo show).  That made me curious to try this one out.  Yesterday, was my sister in law's birthday treat and when she asked me for a suggestion, I told her about this resto located in Mother Ignacia near St. Mary's Academy. It was an old ancestral home convert...

I almost forgot to write about this: was supposed to share this dining experience last year, but because of the hectic holiday season I did not find time to do it.  It was our Department's last quarter meeting x Christmas get together rolled into one.  Every year my boss makes it a point that we have a simple celebration before the year ends.  Last year we dined at Patio Vera in Calumpang, Marikina City: a very intimate, cozy,  eclectic place that is just a couple of meters away from where I live. (not familiar with the place until that day)   I realized I am out of the coverage area already. (hahaha)  I never really expected that it was beautiful inside. (It's within a neighborhood where you see tricycles lined-up and sari-sari stores around the vicinity)  It was an old house turned into a resto bar.  We weren't able to take a lot of photos since it's a little dark and I did not have a chance to go around the place since there is a ph...
