Nothing is chocolatier than MAITRE CHOCOLATIER

MAITRE CHOCOLATIER, is a new cafe in Ayala Center Cebu.  From the name itself, from interior designing to their menu.. chocolates.
They serve only chocolates.
They sell chocolates.


The food is okey... but I don't recommend this to people who has a big appetite, hehe.  After our meal, We didn't dare to order desserts...

Linguine in Pesto Sauce with Parm-Crusted Chicken with white chocolate sauce.  Thumbs-up!! I love the tender juicy chicken with white chocolate sauce!!    190php+VAT

Grilled Chicken in Chocolate Pomegranate Sauce. The dark thingy on my chicken is not sunog, chocolate yan.  For the chicken, I wasn't impress. It was dry.  When the waiter asked me how I want the doneness of my Chicken, I was shocked! sa pagkakaalam ko chicken should be cook cooked (I even told the waiter, you don't ask people if they want their chicken medium cooked). kaya siguro dry yung chicken na served nila sa akin. hehe     215php+VAT

Dark Chocolate Blended drinks.  140PHP+VAT

Mint Chocolate with liquor.  140php+VAT

They also sell chocolates and bouquet of ferrero. 48php per stem

ROMA MIA

I'm a first timer here at ROMA MIA, recommended by Shoti and Mama.  They have the good grilled pork chop, according to syoti. We were in Ayala last sunday, so why not eat there. We were gutom na gutom. It was past lunch time na nung natapos ang appointments namin. The place is ok. Since mga 2pm na nun, they have only two customers. 

For starter, we ordered calamari, unfortunately their squid got spoiled na daw. So instead, we ordered pasta.

Puttanesca. (From the word puttanata, a noun means something worthless or something easy to prepare).  I was chatting with Sir J early that morning at FB about my wedding and how I wanted him to sing on that day.. I order this pasta because of him.  When he cooked Puttanesca for the choir.  I wasn't a fan of pasta, I don't like tomatoes or too much tomatoes (made my stomach upset) but Sir J's Puttanesca is still one of the best pasta I ever tasted.  Even though I'm allergic to anchovies I had one plate of his cooking.

Recommended by shoti, Godfather Chop (grilled pork chop). its thicker than the usual porkchop we had at home yet its juicy and tender.

Tuna belly for my achi. no comments in this one. nothing special I think.

Summer Cooler.

Masuki (Ma Mon Luk) Binondo

Masuki or Ma Mon Luk (old name) was/is the best mami house in Binondo.  Even though they changed their name, the taste still the same, the old "sikat" original noodle soup. The first noodle house introduced Chinese original noodle soup, in 1930. The plain noodle soup with chicken / pork makes this mami house sikat.  

When Da picked me up at the airport the other day, it was already planned that we will have our little night snack at Masuki (931 Benavidez St., Binondo, Manila). I never had a chance to go to Chinatown because of the traffic.  I'm relieved that I can visit the town with no traffic (reminiscing my childhood).  

Original Noodle soup. Ordered one big for Da and a regular size for me.  This is served with their own asado sauce.  Only Masuki served Mami with asado sauce. Hindi nakakasawa. Our server is still the old super maasikaso manong, told Da "Elem or HS ako nandito na siya at ngaun.. magaasawa na ako dito pa rin siya" :D

My favorite siomai!! love my siomai in calamansi and asado sauce. For me, When in masuki.. siomai is a must!! :)
