Mercato Centrale @ Bonifacio Global City

Since my wife and I were at St. Luke's Global City for a doctor's appointment last Saturday, We decided to drop by Mercato Centrale for lunch.  We've heard about Mercato Centrale at Bonifacio Global City from a segment We saw on T.V. Ever the food lover's, We love going out in search of great tasting food with friends, family, and loved-one's. Mercato Centrale was only about two blocks away from St. Luke's Global City. We decided to take a casual walk to Mercato Centrale and arrived there a little past 12 P.M. Since they were open from 7 a.m. to 2 p.m. last Saturday, We only got to sample a selection of grilled items, organic fruits, and a selection of fruit drinks.  Never-the-less, We had a hearty meal and great conversation.  We'll Definitely go back for more.

Kidzville Party @ The Podium

My kids got invited to an animal costume party at Kidzville located at the 4th flr. of the Podium.   The kids were so excited, as this was the first time they attended a costume party.  Kidzville is actually managed by Cosmic Kidz, the same one located in SM MOA.  If you've ever attended a birthday party at Cosmic Kidz @ SM MOA the set-up and it just happened that the Emcee was the same person who hosted the party We attended about a year ago.  The party area was very spacious, the food was good enough with ample portions, the loot bags were nice, my kids had a great time and you get unlimited playtime in their playmaze and Kids Town with various themes.  Was very tired after the party but had a blast with my kids.  My son wouldn't have won the best costume contest for boys, if We didn't attend.   Thanks a lot for our friends who invited us to attend their son's 1st Birthday Party @ Kidzville.

Sicily, Festival Mall, Alabang

Checked-out this newly opened restaurant at Festival Mall, Alabang called Sicily.  Ever the Pizza and Pasta lover, We decided to sample their menu. The ambiance was simple, yet had a homey feel to it.  The place was painted mostly white with a touch of green accents, which was nice since you could see the cleanliness of the place and could immediately see any dirt that could accumulate on it's immaculate white tables and walls.  The tables and chairs where surprisingly comfortable to sit-on and enjoy your meal with family and friends.

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.
