Local Flavors with a Twist at Locavore, Kapitolyo Pasig City, Philippines

Impromptu food plans with friends are the best ones! 

For this particular lunch, Ceej & Francia were game for a new place to try out. We decided on Locavore, which coincidentally was right in their neighborhood. ;)

We suggest you come early since parking slots nearest to the restaurant are quite limited. With a name like this plus a huge rooster as their logo, it comes as no surprise that this was going to be a Filipino feast afternoon.

To get it out of the way, I'm disclosing the fact that yes; we had rice with our meal.

And here's our photo of it......

Steamed Garlic White Rice (Php 70./cup)

No judgments please... hahaha. This was actually 4 cups of rice served in one big platter. 

Pusit Ala Pobre (Php 220)

We've started to love squid in olive oil and this was the closest thing to that. Locavore's version had their squid swimming in squid ink and topped off with garlic bits & spring onions. Food-Stars Verdict? Quite tasty & a nice start to our meal.

Crepe Cravings at Cafe Breton, Greenbelt

A surprise visit from a friend resulted to a late night snack. We headed to Greenbelt and went straight to one of our favorite comfort food (aka desserts! :>) haunts. 

Cafe Breton, Greenbelt Makati

We were thinking this was the perfect spot to just talk and catch up for hours but alas, when we got there it was packed to the rafters! At 11pm, Cafe Breton was still buzzing with activity and diners that we had to wait for awhile to be seated. There were lots of other restaurants that had available seats but we really had our heart set to eat here so we waited... and waited...

At last, we were called in.
