Power Up with Some Damn Good Food at Megawatt, QC

Weekends are meant for chilling out, winding down and just living in the moment. It's when most people have the luxury of time to run their errands, and sneak in some much deserved R&R if there's still time. For folks like me who prefer hitting two birds with one stone, then I've got a great recommendation for you.

Pizza Party at S&R, Shaw Boulevard

Blame it on getting older or just call me plain out weird, but grocery shopping has a therapeutic effect on me. S&R has always been a magical place for me, all the more because I haven't been! That is, until this week. *wink wink*

El Buono Special Pizza, A New Found Favorite!

El Buono Special 12"

PHP 399.00 or USD 9.52

No two pizzas taste alike, that's why it's always like an adventure each time I open up a box. I've tasted many, some of which were bad, others were okay but forgettable and only a few that makes the word “diet” die in your vocabulary.  I’m delighted to discover another pizza that made me fall hook, line and sinker. Imagine a pizza laden with mozzarella cheese, ham, pepperoni, ground beef, bell peppers, onions, pineapple, black olives, corn,  made more ambrosial with El Buono’s signature sauce, sprinkled with herbs and spices that gives this one heck of a pizza, an added edge over other pizzas I have tried in the past.

Team Dinner Date @Pizza Hut

You probably must be muttering to yourself right now, "Pizza Hut again?!?". Well I can't blame you if you feel that way, but don't blame me for the repetition because Pizza Hut is one of the few pizza and pasta places I like going back to. Good cozy ambiance + good food, what's not to like?

Lots' A Pizza

Apartment living sure has its perks, but along with those perks are also some necessary purchases. My house mates have been very accommodating and even lent me one of the mattresses all for myself since I had no time to purchase mine because my company demanded I start ASAP. So last week, when I finally had some down time I asked one of my house mates, Joey to go with me to SM Hypermarket Makati to get me a mattress. :)

Joey Pepperoni Pizzeria [Embracing My Inner Italian Part II]

Count on me to always order dishes that aren't a restaurant's best sellers. Maybe half the time, that's the reason why I end up being disappointed after a pig out session. So, one time I mustered up enough self control and revisited Joey Pepperoni Pizzeria. Why? Two things: The service is A+ and the last time I went there, I didn't order any of their best sellers, I didn't even order a pizza. :P

Joey Pepperoni Pizzeria

Pizza and Pasta places have been multiplying in numbers and with so many places to choose from, you just have to go for it some time and set out on a new adventure. I'm not really the type of person who heads to a restaurant straight up when it's just newly opened. Like other normal people, I wait for the hype, let it cool down a bit, and then pay a visit. :)

Getting A Wee Bit Audacious With Greenwich

Meatball Spaghetti Supreme Meal

Php 99.00 or $ 2.24

When Greenwich comes to mind, my mind auto pilots towards their best sellers, dish staples that I'm sure a lot of people constantly order each and every time. On our last visit to Greenwich, I decided to steer clear of my staple orders and try something different, they do have expanded their menu to such a variety that seems worth trying.

BFF Date at Pizza Hut Bistro

Olive Garden Salad

Php 159.00 or $ 3.64

A day before Batch goes back to Bicol, we decided to try the controversial Pizza Hut Lechon Pizza. This was the same week that I stayed at her apartment, Batch met up with a friend of hers that morning so I just followed after a few hours. I overslept, plus the traffic was horrendous from Makati to Mandaluyong, so when we caught up with each other, I was really famished not having to eat any breakfast yet for that day.

Pizza Making On Christmas Day

BF and I have developed a habit of cooking together almost anything that struck our fancy. Although we love our sushi, my side of the family don't take well the "raw" food issue, so last Christmas we agreed to just make some pizza for his family and mine.

Dinner At Don Henrico's

Summer Salad 

Php 240.00 or $ 5.44 

Last week, I met up and stayed at my BFF's apartment for almost a week. The first night I arrived with Joey, I was running on near empty energy because I only had brunch earlier, slept the afternoon away, met up with Joey before 7PM, commuted with my big Speedo gym bag (thanks dude for carrying it for me!), stopped by SM North to buy a wireless router for their apartment (which was really great because I only used my iPod Touch the whole stay and not bring my big HP dv5) and finally headed straight to the apartment.

Yellow Cab Pizza Co.

For people working in offices 8 hours or more daily, it's just common to get so caught up in their work that's why online food ordering and speedy delivery is heaven sent, or sometimes you just go craving just because you can't get that darn awesome pizza you had out of your mind, just a few days before, courtesy of your officemate's obligatory office birthday treat.

BF and I are specially fond of Yellow Cab's New York's Finest and Brooklyn's Pizza's White Pizza(whew! that's a lot of 's!!!) because the taste is superb and delivery time is on the dot each and every order, and somehow we missed all of that since we worked at home for almost a year for a software development company just starting up.

I keep on pestering BF from time to time to grab something from Yellow Cab and maybe even finally try their famous Charlie Chan Chicken Pasta which I keep reading good comments about. So one day, he finally gave in and even paid for everything. *grin*

Greenwich: Big Time Lunch

Big Time Lunch C + French Fries

Php 129.00 or $ 2.93 (Big Time Lunch C)

Php 49.00 (Solo Fies) - Php 89.00 (Sharing) or $ 1.11 - $ 2.02

Greenwich has been my go to place when I wanted to satisfy my pizza and pasta cravings and stay within my budget, since it practically has a lot of branches nationwide which has made it very convenient for us customers and they happen to serve my favorite version of lasagna which I think, in my own humble opinion even surpasses Goldilocks' version of lasagna.

Home Made Pizza

Chum and I decided earlier this week to try out baking. It was either we try making lasagna or pizza. We opted to make pizza first since we figured it was easier to make, I mean what can go wrong right? Haha! Wrong! Good thing we bought 2 pizza doughs, because as much as it embarrasses me, I'd have to admit the 1st dough's bottom was burned charcoal black!

Our fault was that, we had it in the oven too long, we were waiting for the bacon strips to brown and the cheese to melt more, but we didn't notice the bottom of the dough was burning until I smelled it!

A Veneto Pizzeria Ristorante

A few weeks ago, I met up with my BFF and stayed at her apartment for the weekend, we were supposed to renew our NBI Clearances come Monday morning and so we went to Makati Park Square. Having been on the run that weekend and running on not enough sleep, I was feeling really off earlier that Monday morning and begged my friend to hurry up withdrawing from her ATM. The ATM somehow sensed my ill feelings and didn't cooperate! I think I spent 15-20 minutes half standing and half trying to lean on the side of the ATM machine while my friend tried to withdraw cash.

Since I haven't tried dining in A Veneto Pizzeria Ristorante and my friend really raves about their food, so we mutually agreed to dine there. After ordering our drinks came first, mine was iced tea while my friend's choice was lemonade. After a few sips I felt really sick and like the liquid was rising up my throat, (eeew, I know, sorry for grossing anyone out), good thing I managed to reach the comfort room. After that little incident, I started feeling a wee bit better. Thank God because we had a jam-packed day ahead of us.

My friend wanted her greens and so she ordered their Chef's Salad. I tried to have some and boy, those green olives are sooo salty! The salad was average though.
