551

Beb and I eat out a lot.

Currently, our taste buds is in Italian-mode. For one, tomato-based products is good for the heart. Olive oil, too. Put in some soup to start the course, well, we are unto something.

Twice a month, we seem to be in the mood of trying out a new place but we order some similar stuff and some new ones. You know, just to find out how a place does one dish and eventually know which place serves the best kind of something.

For iced tea, try the bottomless from Rai-Rai Ken :- )

For really great pasta, you should have tasted the Olive Oil Angel Hair Pomodoro in the now closed Alda's. I swear, I can eat that pasta everyday. Well, so much for the walk down taste buds memory lane :- )

But over the past weeks, we were "led" to a really nice place. Serendipity. This place is in Manila. The restaurant is on the second floor of what used to be Ramada Hotel. If you're in the restaurant, you can see the cars and jeepneys passing by Pedro Gil = )

We order what the place consider "Must Trys" and ordered the usual "All Meat" pizza plus a banana shake and a Coke Zero.

As customary, I asked Beb for some alcohol for sanitary purposes and we waited and chatted until the food was served.

The soup came first. I had a seafood in tomato and she had mushroom soup. It was fabulous. Then, the "good for the heart" sandwich came. I loved it. She loved it. And then, the "usual" pizza . It was a pleasant surprise. We ate the food with total abandon until our stomach was full. This one is one of the better dinners we had in a long time.

But here's the best part of this 'gluttonous' adventure, it was only PhP 551 and I will use "only" because we had similar rewarding experiences and it cost us more than that.

Can't wait to go back there and try some other "Must Try". :- )

Lord, thank you for giving the means to enjoy the bounty of Mother Earth.
