Three's A Company at Torch, Greenhills

We were supposed to meet at 1pm for a late lunch... what happened was a "lunner" instead (it's a combination of lunch & dinner, sorta like "brunch").  After fetching Jo, we arrived at Torch Greenhills by 3:30pm, all hungry & harassed. 

Hmmm... I wonder what that piece of paper is hiding....

VMS: Bon Chon Chicken

Craving for chicken, we decided it's high time we tried Bon Chon.

Packaged in a take away box with red & orange stripes, this looked like a preview of what's to come. Couldn't wait to dig in. :)

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.

Good 'Ol Ribs at Rub, Quezon City

Eating at Racks left a bad taste in our mouths so we were on the look out for a new rib shack place. So one fine Saturday afternoon, FIL suggested we try his go-to ribs place.

RUB, Scout Rallos Quezon City

Was surprised to see that it looked a bit run down and sorely needed a makeover. The al fresco setting was also folded up because funnily, a car was parked in its place instead. But we at FoodStars never back down from an adventure; add the fact that FIL was totally raving about this place.

"It ain't what they call you... It's what you answer to!"

It was a bit small and cramped. We decided to eat on the second floor thinking that it had more room.... it didn't. The tables & chairs were already touching each other. All I can say is it was pretty evident that the owner really wanted to maximize the space... even to the extent of his customer's discomfort. :(
