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.

Tandoori Persian Restaurant @ Parkmall

2nd Floor, Parkmall Branch

I'm not really into Persian food... not a fan of spicy food, though I love spices. I like curry and kebabs.

The first time I went at Parkmall, I already saw this restaurant but didn't have the courage to go in.  But I always remember that day, when a foreigner told me, "the food here is so masarap!".

Well, It's really masarap!!

Kebab platter; tuna, beef, chix.. sadly, Lambs were sold out!

Love this Paella!!!

Mango Lassi. Yummm!!  :)

JapaNice Dinner at Nonki

Nonki Japanese Restaurant located in Bakilid, Mandaue City, Cebu. 

When I was standing outside the restaurant, my first impression was "dito ba talaga? bakit parang hindi restaurant"  but when I slide the door to open, I was "wow." I never been in a Japanese restaurant like this. I love the interior design! Tables are divided with Japanese style divider.  As I go in to our private cubicle, I thought we will be sitting in seiza style in a flat cushion. but there's a space below our table so that we can seat naturally.

The food were the same as the other Japanese restaurant I've been.  Except that the Uni Sashimi here has more serving than the other.

Tempura Vegetable (potato, Carrots)

Salmon Sashimi

Big bowl of Miso Ramen

Gyudon served with misi soup

Oyakodon served with miso soup

Yakisoba

Brunch at LemonGrass

After our facial cleaning at Belo, Ayala Center Cebu (ACC), my sister and I decided to have our lunch or brunch (breakfast-lunch) in ACC.  Achi suggested to eat Chinese cuisine, but there's only two Chinese fine restaurant in ACC; the BIG MAO and TSIM SHA TSUI. But I had bad experience in both restaurant...

Flash Back

at BIG MAO. I ordered steamed rice but it taste like microwaved rice. medyo dry na ang ibabaw ng kanin.  same goes to my steamed fish.  I also did not enjoy the tofu.

at TSIM SHA TSUI. Despite of their "eat all you can dimsum," you can only eat few or selected dimsum in the menu. And the taste? It's taste like DimSum Break (fast food chain) but their price is more expensive and location is more fine.

So, I suggested Lemongrass, Vietnamese and Thai Cuisine. I love the theme of the place.   We enjoyed the company of each other. Both of us were hungry. And we like the food. It's not fancy or special but we love it.

Our Brunch...

Gui Cuon, carrots + crab meat + cucumber + Chinese parsley  wrapped in a thin rice wrapper served with peanut sauce

Pho Bo or Beef noodle soup

Steamed fish with lemon (small serving)

Stir fry vegetables (we like this)

2 jasmine Rice

Citrus Herb Lemonade
