I have been meaning to blog about my recent whereabouts, since, I have decided to push through with my long lost dream/plan/wish to be a foodie, and try different things. So here I am, I couldn't be too sleepy and too tired, I decided to post or blog about the recent food trips I had. I will just write about what I did this past long weekend, I guess.
01.28.11 Well, I did not write anything about my experience in LeBistroVert, and describe what I ate on my account in facebook so here it goes.
LeBistroVert has been one of my dream restaurants. I see it from afar, and ambiance looks nice and food is good. Well, it did not disappoint me. I have been meaning to visit this small restaurant in Valero, near Trafalgar building in Makati. The ambiance is really nice, they used blue green and apple green chairs, and had a huge painting, which really resembles the theme of this place. If you want to see a few pictures, you can visit my facebook account, well, comment then I can show them to you. I don;t take much pictures though, so apologies. Oh, they have a loft too, by the way. Not sure if its for public use though.
Asked the waiter for their best sellers, I didn't try so much, since I am not that hungry, just a bit. Ordered that Shrimp soup, the marinated gindara, mojito, well 2, and Velrhona Sansrival. It was a different experience for me. I haven't eaten out alone in a while, and it was such a pleasure to do that. The Shrimp soup was good, though at first I didn't really quite liked it, it just gre on me as I eat it. It was like shrimp which was crushed so well, and it melted. :)) I really liked the gindara, with blue cheese, because fish was cooked perfectly, seasoned well, and no fishy feeling or taste while you eat it.
Tasted their mojito, since it was happy hour and it was buy one take one. So I tried it. It was reaaaallly good, it didn't tasted like alcohol or whatsoever, because it has a tendency to taste like just a plain hard drink. Watermelon overpowered everything. Too bad I didn't finish both because I felt too full to finish everything. After that, dessert. It was dark chocolate sansrival :D and yes! I wish I was such a sweet tooth I could have enjoyed it more. But nonetheless, I did. I rate my first ever foodie project 5/5. Not just because of the food, but the ambiance, and my experience. It was half half. Summed up, it was perfect :D

I decided to go back to a restaurant I once wanted to visit again. Abe, at Trinoma. I decided to taste their version of lechon paksiw. It was actually quite intruiging for me, and tasty. I may not be good at preparing food, but I sure know how to appreciate one's desire to make a simple dish good. Abe's restaurant is a dream to me, simply because I have always wanted Filipino dishes to be served in that type of setting :) had dessert as well. Leche Flan for me, and Sansirval for Angie. I am not a sweet tooth, that's why I really liked their leche flan. It still contains that taste a lot of leche flan lovers would want, but it didn't have to be too sweet. Indeed it was a pleasant late lunch.
Went to Greenhills to unlock my phone. While waiting, ended up getting another pair. Ugh. But I hope that will be the last for the meantime *keeping fingers crossed* after an hour, phone was unlocked (thanks to someone, I really like the phone) we ate dinner.
Second thoughts if we should eat at this nice Jap resto we saw on our way, or look for a Korean resto, I ended up just going inside of this small, nice Korean resto we saw, near National Bookstore in Annapolis. Place is called Happy Baboy. Crew was really nice, and even the owner was very accommodating. Ordered samgyubsal and that kimchi dish with rice. But we got tons of side dish we ended up being too stuffed! Liked their version of samgyupsal, since there were other ingredients different than the usual ones. I am definitely sure I will come back to that resto. :)

I rate the experience in Abe 4/5, since I think I could still find something better. Although I enjoyed Abe a lot. The Happy Baboy experience was 5/5. It was a perfect way to end a day like that :)
