Dear FS Readers...

All the presents have been opened 

Some used some broken

Belts move one notch from before

All the food are gone... no more.

St. Nick has come and gone,

So has Father Time of twenty and double one.

Decors & trees taken down

Brows furrowing, lips turning into a frown

But don't be sad, don't be blue

Coz we have something in store for you.

Welcome to a new & exciting year

Time for another round of wine and beer :)

Snacking on Healthy at Gourmet To Go, Rustan's Makati

Tired from walking around all day, our tummies began rumbling. Wanted something new, fresh and light to eat (we had a b-match later that evening). After looking at the different selections scattered around Rustan's Supermarket Makati, we decided to try out Gourmet To Go.

With the glass-covered brightly lit display cases featuring salads, pastas, sandwiches & soups, it looked like a smorgasbord of gourmet deli goodies just waiting to be eaten. 

Gourmet To Go, Rustan's Makati

True to it's name, we had our food to go. They wrapped our sandwich, packed our pasta and placed everything in a brown paper bag.  Kudos for being eco-friendly. 


**We're giving a heads up to the staff who assembled our food. She forgot to take our lasagna out of the microwave oven after heating. She was beginning to assist the woman who was not even buying anything from their shop (She was just having her money changed into smaller bills).  We had to remind her that our order was not yet complete. Tsk tsk. **  

Chicken Run at Classic Savory, The Link Building Makati

Hearing of the SM Advantage promo through the grapevine, we decided to eat dinner at Classic Savory. 

SM Advantage Savory Promo

We've had their chicken before but this would be the first we were having Savory's Lomi. With tummies rumbling, we soon found ourselves in front of Classic Savory, The Link Building in Makati.

Table wares & Chairs

 I know it sounds silly but with the cover picture of chicken in their menu and the wooden table & chairs, I couldn't help but think that we were at Max's Restaurant. But the similarities end there.  

Beating the Heat at Lulubelle, Serendra

After having lunch at Chuck's Deli, we wanted to eat something cold & sweet to wash away the spicy flavor of the Buffy (Oh, bad news to the CD Buffy fans, it's now Ph590 for a full slab! Gasp! Talk about a whooping 150 pesos price increase!).

We ended up at Lulubelle. 

Lulubelle, Serendra

For a sunny, balmy afternoon stepping into the quaint desserts place was a good idea.  With the pink & purple motif, first thought that popped inside my head was, "Too girly, but not in a bad way." The colors were balanced out by the white spacing that made the place look spacier than it actually is. 

Pink Bar

Picture Perfect

If I can pick one distinctive thing in this place, I'd say it's the framed blown up photos of the yogurt.  It looked so creamy and yummy that you can't wait to try it out for yourself. Good job! :)

Filipino Pride

Another thing that caught my fancy was the graffiti printed on one of their cabinets. The ingredients they use are all locally produced. It's nice to see that the patriotic spirit is still very much alive. Thumbs up!

On the Sea of Disaster at Prestige Cruises, Manila Bay

** Another left over post from last month.
We thought long and hard if we were going to post this one. 
Here goes.... **

On the same day of the Pacquiao-Marquez fight, we were invited to a cruise dinner by the Bay. Running late, we were zooming in and out of lanes. We got there with lots of time to spare. Phew.

Outside the Cruise Ship

Prestige Cruise, Manila Bay

Since we arrived earlier than expected, we got the chance to explore and look around. The Upper Deck was overcrowded, with almost no spaces in between the tables and chairs. Also, this was where the DJ was set up with the singer.  

It's Fries & Balls at NYFD Fries, Smart Araneta Center

Whew! Just got home from another exciting night of basketball! 

The tickets to this game were quickly sold out. Good thing we bought ours days ahead.

With lots of time to spare, we bought our favorite game time snack, NYFD Fries! :)

NYFD Fries, Smart Araneta Center

We ordered the largest size which came with 3 dips of your choice. The fries was as good as we remembered.  Suggestion? Always ask for the newly cooked ones.

Potato Goodness in a cup 

NYFD Fries used less preservatives and the cuts are bigger.  But the thing that sold it for us was that it tasted like real potatoes!  The portion is good for 2-3 people.  The fries lasted 'til the 1st quarter of the second game! :) 

Honey Mustard Dip 

Body Aches and Pains at Bare Foot Day Spa, D. Tuazon Quezon City

Let's try something new!  

True to our name, FoodStars Plus (+) , we will now be posting something other than food. After a stressful afternoon of walking & talking, we wanted to get some foot relief. Upon suggestion of one of our friends, we headed to Bare Foot Spa.

Bare Foot Day Spa,  D. Tuazon Quezon City

First impression? Not very impressive. With the dark entrance and darker surroundings, the place actually gave me the creeps. The thought "Parang hindi spa" came into mind. But of course, I reserved judgments 'til later.

Zen (?)

It was much brighter inside. You walk up to the counter and browse through their services. The quaint zen-like structure in front made the place more spa-like. 

Couch with Pillows

They have a waiting area where you can sit and wait for your name to be called. Suggestion? Make reservations ahead of time especially if you're going as a group.

VMS: Krispy Kreme, Glorietta 4 Makati

We always crave for something sweet to munch on, especially in the late hours of the night. What's better then one sweet dessert? How about 6 of them! :)

Encased in a pretty polka-dotted box with paper handle, Krispy Kreme guarantees another night of sugar highs and fun.

We usually order them for take out so we can enjoy their yummy goodness while sitting in front of the TV. Can you guess our favorite flavor? :)

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 :) 

Dencio's, Harborview Square

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 :)

Dear FS Readers (2)...

It's time for another month-end round up! :) 

We've hit one of our all-time favs last month. It's the place where we've been coming back and back again :) 

We've had our first At The Movies post with Atticus and the gang.

A couple of VMS posts, from pizza to burgers to Chinese cuisine, all eaten at the comfort of our own home.

And a few QC restaurants, both old & new ones.

.. and without further ado, we bring you FoodStars November 2011 Food Attack! :)

ENJOY!

  

Thank you for making us your daily habit! :)

Dear FS Readers (1)...

We've said our goodbyes to November.... 

December's came a-knocking and Christmas is fast approaching. 

Are you feeling the Christmas spirit yet?

If not, here's some holiday cheer to brighten up your day! :)

Collection of Christmas decors scattered around the Metro. 

It's time for a new segment called

"FoodStars caught the Christmas fever at _____ !"

Can you guess where these were taken?
