Late Lunch at Mesa Filipino Moderne, Tomas Morato, Quezon City Philippines

** Late December post **

This was actually my post-birthday treat for my family. They were running late so we had a bit of time to ourselves. 

Excuse the flash, it was really scorching hot that day.

Buttermilk Fever at Kettle, East Wing Shangrila Mall, Mandaluyong City, Philippines

Fresh from my passport renewal at SM Megamall (which was a breeze by the way), Hubby was up for something new for our late lunch. Edsa Shangrila's new wing of foodie haunts was calling out to us... so off we go! ;)

Too many to choose from but one jumped right off the bat.

A bit smaller than expected; we had to wait awhile for a space inside.

To start us off, we ordered their Oven Roasted Squash Soup.

By Invitation: Del Monte Kitchenomics 2014 with Carla Abellana & Chef Jackie Ang Po, GMA Executive Lounge

I remember the good 'ol days of watching the Del Monte Kitchenomics with my mom. How we had to write down the recipe as they flashed on screen. And who can forget their "mail-in-to-get-the-recipe"? Fond childhood memories indeed ;)

I'm happy to announce that Del Monte Kitchenomics is now digitized!  With just a click, you get your Del Monte Kitchenomics recipes quick & easy. But that's not all...

GMA 7 is once again bringing Del Monte Kitchenomics back into our TV screens starting Feb 19. This time it's hosted by Kapuso Star Carla Abellana and multi-awarded pastry chef Jackie Ang Po.
