Bright & Early at Torch, Greenhills San Juan

Early eating on a Sunday morning. We forgo sleeping in for a chance to try out the much hyped Torch breakfast omelette. One good thing about driving early? No traffic. It only took us 12 mins of driving from Makati to Greenhills and that's including parking already.

Torch, Connecticut Greenhills

Was surprised to see lots of cars parked outside. Good thing we made reservations the night before. But when we entered, there were only 3 groups of people eating, that's us included. I wonder where all those people were...

From 7:30-10:30am, everything on their breakfast menu included unlimited coffee. For non-coffee drinkers, you can have it changed into iced tea instead. Likewise those dishes with bread can be changed into rice instead.

That Grillin' Feelin' at Dona Dona Korean BBQ, Makati Avenue

Saturday night and no idea where to eat dinner. Just had shabu shabu last week so that's out. In the mood for grilling, we settled on trying out the Korean restaurant next door to David's. 

To Makati Ave we went. 

Dona Dona Korean BBQ, Makati Ave

The road was wet from the early rain but thankfully, there was no traffic. We soon found ourselves at the doorstep of Dona Dona. First impression? We were the only ones there at 7pm. Uh oh. Not a good sign. 

Simple and clean, that was what they were going for. The only decors I saw were these ones, minimal at that. 

Katsu Night at Yabu The House of Katsu, Robinsons Magnolia

En route to Quezon City, traffic managed to force us to make a pit stop at the newly opened Robinsons Magnolia. Better to be braving traffic & wet roads with a full stomach I say. 

Walking around the mall, we were deciding where to eat dinner when we saw this long line of people waiting to be seated. Hmm... seems that this restaurant warrants a Food Stars visit. Let's see what the fuss was all about.

Yabu House of Katsu, Robinsons Magnolia

At 7pm in the evening, we were already 6th on the waiting list. Wow! They were rocking a full house. Had to wait 30 mins before being seated.

Booth 

Brightly lit & bustling with activity, Yabu looked like a great dinner choice. Our server was helpful enough to answer all our questions & to explain the differences between the dishes. I settled on the Rosu Porkloin Set (180g) while Hubby got the Chicken Katsu Set (180g).

While waiting for our food to be served, I was happily browsing through the menu. Aside from the cute comic strip inside, there was also an "Anatomy of Katsu" page. Informative and pretty, I was mesmerized. And with the set looking like that, how could I resist. :)

Out with The Fourth Auntie at Myron's Place, Greenbelt Makati

By recommendation of C & K, this has been on our list of new places to try out. After months of planning & rescheduling, finally we were able to try Myron's famous President's Cut. 

Myron's Place, Greenbelt 5

Brightly lit and glass all around, Myron's definitely gave a fine dining vibe. Looks good from the outside, let's see what they have to offer inside. 

Inside was spacious & huge interiors adorned the walls. These cut up mirror pieces added drama to the place. Cozy with a touch of class, these are the words that best describe Myron's.

Menu Selections

With a wide array of food selections, we had lots to try on the next visit. Tonight, we were going with the couple's favorites. :)
