Revisited Review: Kanin Club, Ayala Triangle Gardens Makati, Philippines

Sometimes when you just can't decide where to eat, the best choice would be a place you've gone to before. For this particular day, we took our own advice & had dinner at one of our comfort food stops.

Kanin Club, Ayala Triangle Garden

And even before they handed us the menus, I knew that their Crispy Liempo will make its appearance. ;)

Crispy Liempo (Php 160)

This crackling crispy thinly sliced liempo by Kanin Club is terribly addicting; my self control always flies out the window with this dish. Food-Stars Verdict? Still as good as I remembered.

Aligue Rice (Php 170)

It won't be a party without Aligue ;) Another sinful concoction by Kanin Club. After this visit, I'm happy to say that this fragrant flavorful bowl of yellow rice is still one of my favorites. ;)

Lemon Chicken (Php 250)

This dish on the other hand was a bit of a disappointment. It's always "the fresher, the better" in this case, they used real lemons. Sadly, it didn't help to bring out the flavor. I'm thinking changing the sauce recipe would be a huge improvement. The breading also needs tweaking.

Tapa (Php 210)

In our last visit, we rated this as an okay dish. On this visit, it's still an okay dish. Nothing special about it. 

 Kanin Club's Crispy Liempo & Aligue Rice will always be a part of my comfort food list. ;)

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.

Lunch-ing Out at Chef Laudico Bistro Filipino, BGC

With the blistering sun on our backs, we drove to Chef Laudico's Bistro Filipino for lunch. We were in the mood for Filipino cuisine & we couldn't wait to taste Laudico's creations.

By 12nn, we were already in front of the glass entrance of Bistro Filipino.

As you enter, you'll see these HUGE centerpieces. Bistro Filipino was favoring interiors that were massive in size.

Of Pen and Paper at Elias, BGC Makati

Dinner with the in-laws was becoming a regular thing. Every week brings new food adventures & more quality time; which can't be anything but a good thing... sorta like hitting 2 birds with one stone. :) This particular Thursday night, our taste buds led us to a new place to try out, Elias at Bonifacio High Street Central.

Darn Electric Fan!

Elias at Bonifacio High Street Central

With a live band in the middle of the grounds, Bonifacio High Street Central was crawling with people. The rows of restaurants were filled with diners & patron, enjoying this refreshing cool night.  At last, we were in front of the expanse of Elias. With the tagline "Turn of the Century Filipino Dining", we couldn't wait to put that to the test.

Dinner Dud at Dencio's, Harborview Square

This is the end of hiatus.. and we're starting off with a BANG! :)

** This is actually a leftover post from last month.**


 After going on a "cruise trip", we had dinner at a nearby place. This was our first time to step onto Harborview Square. It was a toss up between Army Navy or Dencio's. Rice with sisig won... again :)

Take Two with Bamboo

With music blaring from the outside as well as in, the place didn't feel as empty as it looked.

Jungle Fever

While waiting for our orders to arrive, I took pictures. With the orange light fixture (that looked like cocoons), plants all around and bamboos on the sides, it felt quite a bit like you're in a safari adventure. Haha.  Drums nalang, jungle na :)
