Yummy Adventures

It was an early Sunday affair for me and my siblings as we were quite early at Greenbelt, Makati to grab lunch and watch the last Harry Potter Movie. As my siblings were craving for good food , and moreso, “brunch”, as we haven’t had breakfast, we were most fortunate that there is a Recipes by Metro in Greenbelt, a restaurant that won me over with their General’s Lechon, as it was my lucky day that a good friend was craving for it, and we ended up with two orders of it at their Shangri-la branch. I always love passing forward recommendations, and I was more than happy to let my siblings taste my greatest rave in Filipino food.

For lunch, we had three delicious dishes, and I shall tell you how they fared with my tastebuds:

General’s Chicken just might be Recipes by Metro’s signature, and bestseller dish, big chunks of chicken fried, and sauteed in a very special, sweet sauce. Mixed with soft slices of eggplants, this dish is such a winner in my book. If you’re still wondering how it tastes, its nearest “dupe” might be North Park’s Manchurian Calamares, which I find so delicious, as well. Sweetening a dish up is such a challenge, as you do not want to get tired from its sweetness, but you also need some saltiness to solidify on how it registers to your tastebuds – and for me, this registers as a winner dish!

One thing about me, is that whenever I find something really, really good ( specially food, ) I rest my comfort zone in it, and always come back for more. Over, and over again.

In the beautiful island of Boracay, which also happens to be one of my favorite places here on Earth ( well, not sure about Mars, Pluto, and Venus ? hahaha! ), I have one, two, three, or four favorite stops.

One of them, is Ghastof, situated very near the D’Mall area.

I mean, what’s not to love about Ghastof? Read the rest of this entry »
