Tender Bob's

This month, Tender Bob's is offering 10% discount as they celebrate their 10th year.  One of my FB friends got tagged on their anniversary flyer. This encouraged me to grab the offer and try the new branch at Greenbelt 2, Makati.

I am sooo satisfied with my order (US short ribs). Sooo tender and tasty. Perfectly yummy! :-)  Just recalling and writing about it is making me crave and I want to go back and eat again :-)

KENNY ROGERS ROASTERS

Its been awhile since I last ate in Kenny Rogers  (I think its been at least 2 years since I last ate there)... I can say due to their AD promotions lately -- (they have a billboard along SLEX), Kenny Rogers became on top of my mind again.

We dined in Kenny Rogers that's located  in one of the gasoline stations in NLEX.  Kenny Rogers is famous for its Roasted Chicken (its very peppery in taste).  For me, my favorite in Kenny Rogers is their corn muffins. But I think I am the only one who loves their muffins. ha ha.  I love buying and eating their corn muffins since I was in college - hmmm that was maybe at least 15 years ago

We ordered the group meal - Php575.00. It comes with whole chicken, rice, 4 side dish, 4 muffins and a pitcher of ice tea.  I think this was really a good deal.

I can say that over the years, Kenny Rogers has been consistent on its taste and quality.

XTREMELY XPRESSO CAFE

Xtremely Xpresso Cafe is located in Subic. The last time I was there it was 5 years ago, at that time the place was just new. I was surprised and happy seeing that the place has boomed and even had an expansion.

This time we had dinner and ordered their BIG BEN extreme size pizza (22 inch). We were 5 people and we didn't even had a few pizza left for take-out.

Most of all, they serve Lavazza coffee! - this is actually one of my favorite coffee brands.

Xtremely Xpresso Cafe is located along Dewey Avenue, Subic Bay Freeport Zone, Olongapo

ARISTOCRAT RESTAURANT

Ever since I was a kid, there will be occasions when my papa would bring us to Aristocrat Restaurant located aloing Roxas Blvd.

I noticed that the place always have customers even if you visit wee hours of the morning. Hee hee, well, we usually go there during those hours.  I also noticed that they usually have diners who are Balikbayans. 

We have been going back to that branch for more than 20 years. For me, its taste has never been changed over the years. There are days that I would crave for its barbecue chicken PLUS its java rice and java sauce.  Just like when I recently attended the Ad Congress in Subic, upon seeing the signage of Aristocrat, I told my colleagues we really need to dine there since I am now craving for it.  Which we did! :-)  (this photo was taken in Aristocrat Restaurant in Subic)

I browsed and they have a website -- http://www.aristocrat.com.ph though if you want to see their updated menu, you can view it in http://food.clickthecity.com

MAGPANTAY'S CATERING

I never get disappointed with Magpantay's catering. The catering is owned and run by Mr. Alvin Magpantay. Even though the owner is my kumpare (his wife - Carol is a very good friend of mine back from our Ayala Life days), I admire his cooking skills. As a matter of fact, he never had any formal training in cooking - its all talent and hobby.

We threw a despedida party for "some" of my team members who are leaving the company. Since me and my boss is sponsoring, this gave me the opportunity to order from Alvin :-).  We were actually ordering last minute - he doesn't want to accept orders anymore.  But when Alvin learned it was me ordering, he accommodated us :-).  * grin * grin *

They provide full-catering set-up to parties and events around Metro Manila. Though they also accept orders even just for lunch deliveries. Alvin Magpantay Catering: 831.6346; 0920.294.9234. Email: magpantayab@yahoo.com.ph
