Cibo

CIBO has been around for quite some time now. Well for those of you who don't know cibo is equivalent to food in Italian...

There are several branches here in Metro Manila I've tried 4 branches namely Shang, Rockwell, Glorietta and their latest addition Greenbelt 5, so far their food, service and servings are consistent. I like their stylish decor especially the one in greenbelt 5, the orange wall tickles my appetite...

Spinaci Zola. P218. - It is one of their anti-pasti (starter). Fresh crispy bruschetta dipped in spinach and gorgonzola mixture. I just lurve it, actually one of the reasons why I keep coming back here....

They have a wide selection of pastas which are cooked al dente... their main course- so far I’ve only tried 3 dishes their Ossobucco Gremolata. P403.00, Filetto di Pesce.P383.00 and their lamb something… unfortunately I’m displeased with all 3, maybe just not my taste…

That's All!

Old uniform...

Found this old uniform in my memorabilia box, I wore this during our last school days in UST. If I remember it right, it was baccalaureate mass, almost 8++ years ago. Yuh, just like nurses and doctors are uniform is all white except for the shoes...

Goshhhhh!!! It seems like yesterday- Funny how time flies so fast.... Seeing this make me reminisce those days... Yuh, I do miss university days... It was real fun, I learned, I stumbled, I cried, I laughed....

I do miss a lot of people and places...

Hope everyone is doing great from my block mates to my org mates...

Oh, lest you're wondering about my course, it was BS mathematics major in CS.

That's All!

Izakaya Nihonbashitei

In my previous post, I mentioned that Nihonbashitei has two divisions, last time I dined at one of their tepan room which could be found in their 2nd floor... now, on their 1st level which is the ala carte style dining...

We were welcomed by the servers (almost forming a line) as we entered the room... Place is cozy, dining area is setup in the middle and is typical with a huge sushi bar on the side and numbers of cleared-glass doors private rooms on the other side.

FOOD...

Miso soup. P55. - Unlike other Japanese resto, their miso soup serving is big, it can served 2 pax, it is served hot of course, but blame it on my age, but I can't remember if this is the miso soup which has a missing tofu on it or something else.... sorry!

Asupara Bacon.P45/stick- A stick contains four roll of asparagus wrapped in bacon, taste really good and for 45 bucks it is really cheap,right?
Ebi tempura. P230. Their version of tempura is huge, 3 pieces and also taste great...
Salmon Sashimi.P220 - Gawd this is best salmon sashimi I've tasted so far. Six pieces sliced salmon- It is fat, it is fresh,it is yummy... If not for the price, I think I can eat 5 orders of this... Oh, the server told us that the salmon was imported here from Japan.

Fely J's Kitchen

Less than a month ago, I together with Arvic and Cza chance upon Fely J's kitchen in Greenbelt 5; Fely J's is a restaurant that specializes in Pinoy cuisine specifically that of Pampanga's.

Ambiance is simple and relaxed; there are numbers of old photograph/paintings on the 

wall which added a touch of sentimentality to the place. 

The menu might appear a little typical for Filipino's but you'll know  the difference when you taste it....

To start it off,  complimentary prawn cracker was served while we wait for our meal....

As suggested by their server, here's what we ordered:
 

Dilis rice - The saltiness of anchovies(dilis) compliments well with white rice; If there's one thing not to be miss here is this crispy dilis-cious rice...really!

Fely J's Tilapia in sweet plum.P385- Thinking of a description of this dish makes my mouth water; the dish has a distinct yummy fragrance, in Filipino lingo "amoy palang ulam na"- The smell is so appetizing plus the not to sweet and not to sour taste of  fish,it is simply delectable.

KKK.P550- KKK stand for kare kare klab, according to them this is their star dish- with tripe, oxtail and veggies stewed in peanut sauce and served with sauteed bagoong.   Well, I don't really find something distinctive in their kare-kare, for me it taste normal, if I can remember correctly a little bland....

Overall, we had a satisfying dinner @ Fely J's and I am recommending this resto to those who craved for delicious pinoy food. 

Oh did I mention that their ice tea is remarkable... There!!!
