Slice n Dice SM Sta. Rosa Laguna

Went to SM Sta. Rosa a couple of weeks back to get out of the house and do a little bit of strolling. Since it was already lunch time, We decided to take a break and eat lunch. With a lot of food establishments at our disposal, We decided to be a little bit more adventurous and try something new. At first glance Slice n Dice immediately called our attention, not just because of its colorful facade but also because of the prices on their menu. For Php 99 or less, you could already enjoy a complete meal inclusive of rice and drink. We ordered a T-bone steak Jr. w/ Pasta meal and a Cheezy Garlic Mussel meal all for less than Php 300. Not bad for a meal good for 2-3 persons.  Slice n Dice is the local version of servicing fast food style steaks ordered through a counter with a touch of local flavors.

Flavours of China SM Sta. Rosa

Went to SM Sta. Rosa last Jan. 3 to have lunch with the family, to celebrate our 8th Wedding anniversary.  We were supposed to go to Barrio Fiesta inside SM Sta. Rosa for lunch, as We found a voucher from Metro Deal for a Paella Meal w/ chicken and coke (good for 4 persons) at Php 450.  However, according to the staff on duty, the voucher is still not active on their computer database until Jan 5, 2012.  Something that was not clearly stated on the voucher.  Instead of arguing our case and spoiling our day, We just decided to look for another place to eat.  Good thing Flavours of China was near Barrio Fiesta. We decided to good there for lunch.  After all, you just can't get enough of Chinese food.

Congo Grille Westgate Alabang

Had our company Christmas Party last December 23 at Congo Grille Westgate Alabang.  We chose Congo Grille as they offer party packages for small groups of 10-15 persons.   For less than Php 4000 you can set-up a party package good for 10 persons.  Add another Php 2000 and you can get an additional party package good for 5 more persons.  So for less than Php 6000, We were able to set-up a party package for 15 persons minus the hassles of food preparation and  looking for a venue.  Not bad for a small office consisting of 11 persons.  We also decided to reserve an enclosed space inside Congo Grille to make our Christmas Party more private.  We also reserved use of their sound system, which is of course free of charge and inclusive of the party package. We paid a deposit of Php 2000 for reservations and We were all set for the Christmas Party.  It also helped that We made our reservations at least a month before the actual event so We were given exclusive use of the only enclosed area in Congo Grille.

The enclosed area is big enough to accommodate a group of 10-15 persons. We were still able to use the area to hold some games and activities. Although We were not able to secure the sound system as originally promised, We brought our own speakers and MP3 player to the venue.  Cheers to Technology.

Party Venues in Alabang

Searching for the ideal Party Venue can become quite a challenge, specially during Holiday s and peak seasons.  The size of the attendees also comes into play as the usual size for each event usually ranges from 50 pax and up.  Arranging a party for a small group of people (5-10 persons), requires extra creativity. Luckily there are now establishments that cater to these types of gatherings.  To give you some help, here are a list of restaurants in the Alabang area that offers party packages for small groups of 5-10 persons:

SUPERBOWL OF CHINA ALABANG

Had lunch last Sunday at Superbowl of ChinaFestival Mall.  There were a lot of people last Sunday, maybe it was because of the Sale or people just wanted to get out after days of rain.   We’ve gone to Superbowl of China before and We particularly liked their Birthday Noodles because the serving is big and the noodles are quite tasty even without the other flavorings.  Fortunately, they had a promo for a 50% discount on their Birthday noodles worth Php 130 (original price Php 270). This promo is good from Aug. 1 to Oct. 31, 2011 only.  Would have helped though if the discount promo board was made more colorful or placed near the entrance.  Would have been nice also if their promos were mentioned by the waiters prior to ordering.  We only knew about the promo only after  We paid our bill.  Nevertheless, this is still a good deal as you save 50% for this item.  You can also go to their website and print out their discount coupon and avail of their dish of the month promo.  They also serve free chips to help you pass the time while you wait for your order.  We also ordered a Dimsum Combination platter (Php 260), Sliced Beef with Broccoli (Php 320), and Mango Sago (Php 90) for dessert.  Had a nice meal and had some left overs to take home.  The Mango Sago sure seemed good, I wasn’t able to try it as my son finished it all. Visit their website for more details.
