Ambassador's Cafe

AMBIANCE: It's cozy and just right to have a semi-exclusive dining experience with friends. I love cute little things and I am particular with details. This place spells a lot of details in terms of its decorations and display of artwork.
LOCATION: Very accessible. Near Ayala and Parklane.
FOOD: Nothing mind-blowing. I've tried some of their pasta before, and I'm quite satisfied with the taste. However, I had a tough time cutting through the meat of the food (Cheese & Onion Schnitzel) I ordered this time.
PRICE: Reasonable

I WISH...
                  for more ample parking space.
                  for a wider array of choices for the menu.

YO-GO Boy

Published with Blogger-droid v1.7.4

This is the second deal that I availed, courtesy of Groupon.

Check out the first one here. Although, this is the very

first deal that I bought, I somehow forgot about this. Not until we (my husband & I)

had the chance to drop by I.T. Park. When I searched for my bag, I found

the voucher and perfect timing, we just had dinner.

I love their simple blue & white theme. It's refreshing. I'm actually biased since blue is

my ultimate favorite color (Hehe).

Anyway, I've tried other yogurt brands but what I noticed in the yogurt of

Yo-Go Boy is that, it doesn't have the usual sour taste, which made me think

that theirs must probably be yogurt ice cream and not the yogurt-real-yogurt kind.

But since I have a sweet tooth, I will vote for Yo-Go Boy's yogurt over other brands.

Here are the choices for their toppings:

What I had:

Toppings:
Froot Loops (yes, they spell it that way)
Choco Cheerios
Marshmallows
Hershey's choco syrup

Yummy!

Each yogurt costs Php 75 (with 1 free topping)

additional Php15 (+1 topping)

Php 25 (+2 toppings)

Php 35 (+3 toppings)

A few months back, I bought a deal at Ensogo. I am still new to these various deal sites and I don't want to spend on something I might regret later on. So I started with a few food deals.

30 Kitchen

I went out with my highschool friends tonight. We dined at 30 Kitchen. It's quite a small resto, around 15 persons can be accommodated comfortably inside and around another 15 or more outside.

I like discovering more of these hole-in-the-wall restos, something to break the usual dine outs in the mall. It's a perfect place to catch up with friends, enjoy a different brand of ambience with a bit of the cozy feel.

Food? I would have to rate it as 7 out of 10. Though I liked what I ordered (Lengua), a friend of mine was not that satisfied with what she got. But I think I will visit the place again to try the other stuffs.

Location: before the entrance gate of Paradise Village in Banilad, beside Caminade pet shop.

Abaseria



My husband and I were getting tired of dining in the usual restaurants (i.e. those that are conveniently located inside the mall). So, we are in search for restos that have a unique or quaint ambience. The risks of not being satisfied with the food or getting hold-up by the prices or being discontented with the service are natural consequences of this food-tripping (rather, resto-searching).

First stop-- ABASERIA. (Actually, we've discovered other restos before this, but I wasn't into blogging then and I was not able to take much pictures. But I vowed to myself that I will visit each of them again, for blog purposes.)

Once-full-now-empty dining area (we were the last ones to go)

Wide array of native products to choose from (Yep, they are selling these stuffs)



On the other side of that wall is a little function room cum bazaar of colorful native accessories.

Exclusive dining area with native accessories on the side for sale

Native wooden products also for sale



We were right away impressed with the cozy feel of the place. But we were more impressed with the service. The attendant (whom I believe was the owner) was kind enough to inform us that they have half-orders, since some of their servings are good for 3-4 persons.

The food? Ah, yes. I have to make a disclaimer at this point. I am not a very good food critic, since I don't eat as much vegetables as what a healthy person should eat and I don't enjoy as much eating seafoods. For a very picky person like me, the food as beyond great. Here's what we had:



Monggo with gata (half-order)



Crispy roasted pork (half-order)



Chicken curry (with pineapple something2x-- sorry I forgot the name,
but believe me, it added a more tangy taste to the curry)



The 'look' of satisfied customers :-)

Suggestion: Make a reservation, lest you'll end up table-less.

My rating: Outstanding (4/5)

Next visit: Soon!!! And I'll make sure to shop for some accessories.

No, this is not the controversial massage parlor. This is a Chinese restaurant, originally from Manila. They started in the 1950's. Now they have a branch here in Cebu at The Parkmall. Though the taste is not exceptionally good compared to Grand Majestic, but I love their wallpapers of the history of the restaurant.
