Chinese Cuisine at Jade Garden, Glorietta 2, Makati Philippines

This was actually a last minute dinner plan. Jade Garden was the decided dinner stop for this particular Sunday. 

After the hullabaloo on the restaurant (wrong name, wrong place), we were finally seated down for dinner.

Spinach with Fresh Crab Meat Large (Php 960)

To start us off, bowls of this hot soup was served. This shredded spinach with minced crab meat was light & easy on the tongue.

While waiting for the main dishes to arrive, we feasted on this dim sum. This wrinkled little things of minced pork with a soupy center is father-in-law's favorite. Dip this in vinegar with ginger slivers and you're all set. 

Roasted Peking Duck (Php 2600)

The Peking Duck is carried to your table already sliced and plated. These thinly sliced duck meat with a bit of crisp on its skin is then wrapped in Chinese pancakes with sticks of cucumber or leeks and drizzled with hoisin sauce. Food-Stars Verdict? Not bad.

Peking Duck 2nd Way (+ Php 380)

For our 2nd way, we had the duck meat minced and served with crisp iceberg lettuce. Again, you eat this with lots of hoisin sauce for that smoky barbecue flavor. 

Noodles for long life!

 This Jade Garden's noodle dish was tasty & cooked just right. The veggies & mushrooms added texture & flavor. 

Wok-Fried Lamb & Fish Fillet with Bean Sauce (Php 920)

This was actually a bit salty for my taste. Food-Stars Recommendation? Best eaten with rice.

And to wash it all down, I ordered this refreshingly cool Four Seasons drink.

Are we coming back? Granted that Jade Garden has its highs & lows, this is a good place to get your Peking Duck fix.

Ramen Cravings at Ajisen Ramen, Robinsons Place Ermita, Metro Manila

It's another Ramen Sunday. This time, we drove all the way to Robinson's Place Manila for a hot steaming bowl from Ajisen.

The place was packed and for a party of 7, it took awhile for us to be seated.

Here's what we had for dinner...

Crunchy Roll (Php 210)

This was your typical California Maki with mangoes, cucumber, crabstick sushi roll. They just added crunchy flakes on top. FS verdict? Not bad.

Jurrassic Roll (Php 395)

This sushi with Unagi was a party in my mouth. So much flavors were going on from the Ebi tempura, crabstick, salmon skin and the grilled eel; all rolled for easier eating :9

FriDate Night at Pho Hoa, Greenbelt 1 Makati

It seems like we've been eating out frequently for the last few days. Walking around Greenbelt 1 led us to Pho Hoa, our favorite Kung Pao Chicken place. :)

Pho Hoa, Greenbelt 1

With the cream & tan colored tables and chairs, the interiors were clean and fresh. The paintings featured different scenery, adding the needed splash of color the place needed.

Pinoy Pizza at Sandy's, Makati

We were scared to try out a new online coupon site but when we saw this deal, being pizza lovers we had to try this out.

Trivia: This pizza place is apparently owned by Gabby Concepcion's sister. 

Hidden in the outskirts of Makati, we welcome you to Sandy's Pizza!

Order Counter

As you enter, you'll notice that the place is a bit cramped. The order counter is just a few steps away from the door. It was a bit hot & stuffy but the staff immediately opened the a/c. 

Wall photos

The only decor you'll see are the pictures of celebrities posted on the walls. Other than that, the restaurant strictly employs a minimalist look. The empty wooden tables and chairs at 6pm was a disappointing sight.
