a little bit about travel, a little bit about food, a lot of everything in between; as seen, tasted and experienced by different points of view..
During Ayala’s Midnight sale, we enjoyed our evening meal together at Don Henrico’s, located at the Ayala Terraces, Cebu. The restaurant offers an affordable buffet table with a few but delectable choices. I spied the table and saw two pizza dishes, two pasta choices (white …
So… Entry #2 🙂 I am not a one hit wonder! The past few months I have been obsessed with these damn “groupon” sytle coupons which has led to my spending more than a little money on coupons. The one plus side to this is …
Julies Fastfood dates back to its humble beginnings as an expansion idea of a bakeshop owner. With plenty of other bakers sprouting here and there, the dream became a reality. Of course, the bakery is still strong as ever, regardless of how many other competitors the company has.
The restaurant boasts an assortment of grilled local dishes for the common folk from pork to seafood to pica pica. Aside from that, people are drawn into this establishment by the low prices and the unlimited soup and rice for every order of viand. It’s the equivalent of eating at a buffet table, for its price.
We decided to try the buy 1 take 1 grilled pork chop and their chicken thigh barbecue. The price was just right and the servings were more than enough for two people.
Verdict:
A: 2.5/5 the taste isn’t satisfactory for the Eat Out Enthusiasts. The food lacks a certain appeal without using any MSG or flavorings. Plus points for the cold temperature and clean surroundings, though.
My first post! 😀 So… since I had to work over night Saturday into Sunday it seemed like a perfect time to indulge in the chocolate buffet. (I figure I can burn off some of the calories over night!) We arrived at the Sutton Place …

N: 3.5/5 I had high expectations for their lengua but it was just ok..
A:
Beef overload! Rib eye steak and wagyu beef with a band playing cheesy melodramatic songs in the background – a fine way to cap a Saturday night. The beef dishes were excellent but our calamari appetizer was so-so. I would pick Cyma’s kalamarakia over this …
We were greeted by the attendants, one rainy night, who courteously offered us the menu as we entered the establishment. We expected good service, only to be dismayed as we were seated three feet away from the kitchen. Imagine having dining tables near the hot kitchen! It didn’t end with just that, actually, all throughout the course of the meal, service was slow. The water tasted awful and that our food had to be served cold (we specifically asked the main course to be served even if the entrees weren’t done yet.)
To make up for it, I guess, the interiors looked good and light despite the busy atmosphere. Just being there can make you feel at ease and calm, as you stare at the photographs on the walls or admire various pen inked artwork hung almost every angle of the restaurant.
As for food, if you’re looking for eating on a budget or pigging out, you’re at the wrong place. Price range of a dish here costs about 200-300 on average. Thankfully, they have entree packages of two or four in a plate at a reduced cost if you order them individually.
We had cubed egg and spicy cheese for starters. Not exactly the best, but manageable. Next to come was the the hot garlic bread for individual guests. Traditional to start with these. They also have wifi here, for those who are bored of waiting.
After that, we had pork tips , medium well beef steak and marlin fish fillet.
I don’t know why people say that the food is bland. I guess most of them are just too used to adding one too many dashes of salt and spices, only to destroy their tasting senses. All of the dishes served here had an exquisite hidden tinge of flavor.
If you enjoy subtle tasting food with great presentation, this is the place for you.
