Food Nostalgia

Before I leave for Summer, let me just give you a dose of what- and where Southside has brought me...and my tummy! ^^

Some time in December, my board mates and I decided to hang out before leaving for the Christmas break. We decided to "chill" at I.T Park and take a sip of one of the famous coffees in town: Starbucks. 


I enjoyed myself with their Java Chip Frapp. It's a drink having a chocolate chip-like things blended in, served with whipped cream and chocolate drizzled on top. Yup, that was it. :)

We spent long hours talking about anything *plus* I got to know more about the place. It was 2 in the morning when we decided to call it a night (Can we still call "that" a night?). 

I've got a little advice for the readers though... Don't EVER stay in I.T if you suffer asthma. You'll surely drown with all the smoke around. I guess that's the only downside.

Next stop,  Alejandro's Filipino Resto- home of the best Crispy Pata in Town. We went there during the last week of January. And boy, you could not believe how cheap dishes can get when you're with your buddies! 


I was busy making projects and assignments that day when my board mate barged in at my room and invited me for dinner. I did not refuse thinking we would dine in at a karinderia nearby. 


Upon arriving at Alejandro's we immediately chose the dishes we liked. We had camaron rebusado, mixed vegetables, Alejandro's crispy pata,
chicken sotanghon, and iced tea for our drink. Each and every one of us was really full that night. It was worth it.

March is a great month for dining in too... especially because Summer is one it's way. 


My best friend's birthday falls on the 8th.. And what better way to celebrate his day than pigging out!
Just so he wouldn't suspect anything, I decided to surprise him on the 6th. I took him Ayala Center Cebu after watching an Acrobatic show at USC. Clueless on what his favorites are, we dined in at Greenwich hoping he loves pasta just as I do. 
 


I had Lasagna- and I loved every bite of it! I also had a slice of their pizza and some fries. Delish!


 

He had chicken. *sigh!* Chicken! It's a pizza place, and still he had chicken. I couldn't do anything about it though, he really loves chicken.




If you're wondering what the surprise was, it was the treat (I rarely spend a cent when he's around) and some cake I gave him. Yup, I gave him a cake with sparkling candles on it. Yey!

Last, but definitely not the least was Kenny Roger's. 

Last Saturday, after attending an assembly in school, my bud and I went to Ayala (again) to have dinner.  We got tired with the usual routine so we tried something new. Kenny Roger's, based on tv commercials, is famous for their chicken.

We seriously dug a hole in our pockets with this one.

It got worse when the dish was served. I picked the Grilled Chicken with mixed vegetables and a muffin at the side and was a bit  disappointed with the taste. My pal felt the same about his dish, Roasted Chicken. He said it was too salty.

The food was okay, I guess.  At least my friend liked their gravy. ^^
No, really. I liked their food but I can't love it. (Am I making any sense?) It filled my tummy so... yeah, it was okay.

That's all for now. Ciao!
