Our New Trip

My hana, babygirl and I have a new “thing”…restaurant hopping. We’re such foodies and we really want to try out different cuisines. Hey, you only get to live once, right? You see, we recently bought this book… It’s a book about more than 200 restaurants in the metropolis selected and reviewed by chefs, restaurateurs, and instructors. What I like about the book is it holds important infos such as the restaurant’s address (w/ a map incorporated on it’s page), it’s branches, operating hours, specialties, dress code, parking conditions, reviews on it’s food and feel of the place, and even specifies if it’s smoking or non-smoking. So, come Saturday, we set out for the first resto that caught our attention in the book. A quaint little place called, Café Juanita. It is nestled in a hidden area inside Barrio Kapitolyo, Pasig. It was very near our home but we it was our first time to see this place. It had a homey feel to it and the whole place was adorned with antiques both Spanish and Filipino that were, as a matter of fact, all for sale! We had our eye on this nice “The Last Supper” metal wall art. But to out dismay, it was already reserved for someone else. Darn it. The menu contained a blend of Spanish, Filipino, oriental and continental fare. We ordered so much food! Most of which were the ones recommended by the book. The food was sooooooooooo good. See… Before… After… Mind you, that whole crisp tilapia was devoured in less than a minute. Di ba mukha syang na-rape? We will definitely go back. I just have to have that mean toffee desert ala mode again! It's probably settling on my thighs by now. Grrr... But who cares?! Cafe Juanita is such an ideal place for family dinners, dates and a place where my girl friends and I can come drink, food trip and talk about superficial things. Haha! I’m already searching the book for the next restaurant to go to next weekend while beautifying my tired self... BOO!!! Hahahaha! As a nasal Ricky Reyes would say it..."Ang gandaaaa..."
