My Thai Kitchen, Eastwood Mall Quezon City

We were supposed to eat at Craving's at Eastwood mall but when we got there, it's already closed (not in service/operational).  We went to the ground floor and immediately saw My Thai Kitchen and decided to give it a try. 

The picture (and the name or description) of this Spicy Deep Fried Crispy Catfish and Green Mango Salad got us interested in the dish.  We ordered this for our appetizer.  Sadly, this did not meet my expectation.  It's oily and it tasted like it was fried from a cooking oil that has been used several times.  It's also not spicy so I think they should remove that word from the dish's name or description.  Aside from the fried crispy catfish and green mango, it also came with peanuts.

We also ordered Thai Fish Cake.  It's tasted ok.  The sauce that came with it tasted good and maybe the life of the dish.

For our main dish, we ordered beef curry.  We asked the waiter's recommendation if green or red curry and she said that for her, red curry tastes better.  This did not disappoint.  Really very delicious.  I was not planning to eat rice but because it's delicious I ended up eating more rice.  It's very tasty but not very spicy.  The beef is also very tender.  Happy tummy for this =)

For me, Pad Thai is a must!  I fell in love with it when I first tasted it when I was in Phoenix, Arizona.  I've been in search for the perfect Pad Thai, here in Manila but can't find it.  This Pad Thai is actually called Pad See Ew.  It's delicious and I was quite satisfied.  Though, I can't still say it's the same delicious Pad Thai that I've been looking for. =)

Lee Minho's Kyochon Fried Chicken, Eastwood City

Kyochon is the newly opened South Korean fried chicken restaurant in Eastwood City, Libis Quezon City.  Well maybe, Lee Minho is what's drawing people to eat here more than the fried chicken lol.
While dining, I can't help but wonder if he owns this restaurant or just an endorser.  Of course, I googled it now and learned that he is just an ambassador for the food brand. =)

Sorry for the blurred photo of the fried chicken.  We ordered the Combo meal for 2 which consists of 10 fried chicken wings, 2 cups of rice, 2 pepsi product drinks, and salad.  This combo meal for 2 is P549.00 or P274.5 each if you split the payment to 2.

We ordered the orginal or non spicy flavor because we we're informed that the spicy flavor is really really really hot.  The chicken tasted good but can't really find any other way to describe it hehe.

Again, there is nothing special but it's good enough.

The salad is really nice because the vegetables were fresh with just the right amount of dressing.

The waitress also suggested if we want to order potato wedges since waiting time for our meal is around 15 to 20 minuttes.  Potato wedges is P150.00.

I actually got disappointed with the serving size of the 10 pieces chicken.  I was probably expecting full wings but turned out it's really just 5 pieces because the wings were cut into 2.  But come to think of it for P549 or P274.50 each, it's already a good deal since it already includes rice, salad and drinks.

I'm not really a big fan of rice so maybe next time I eat here, I'll just order chicken and some light side dish so I can really enjoy the chicken.  I also want to try the spicy flavor since I got curious how hot it is lol.

Bigoli Pizza and Pasta, Eastwood City

This blog has been getting a lot of views on my "Bigoli, Breakfast Buffet" post.  So I decided to eat there alone for dinner just to have this post hehe.

Here's a sample of their a la carte. 

While waiting for my order, they served free garlic sticks.  Even if it's for free, it tasted good.  It's the same garlic stick that comes with my pasta.

I wanted to order Fettuccine Alfredo then I was asked if I want the one that comes with Pepperoni pizza.  I thought, why not, I think I'm hungry and deserves this big meal =)  This is a good deal for only P170.00.

While mixing my Fettuccine Alfredo, it went a little dry so I wasn't happy about that.  But then, I remembered that they gave me my Parmesan cheese which is really great because I can put as many cheese as I want on my pasta.  That's the time I really enjoyed my meal hehe =)

Buffet 101, Eastwood City

I'm not really a big fan of buffets.  Most of the time, the focus is on quantity instead of quality. However, the grand idea of being able to eat all types of food from salads, soup, seafood, meat, pasta, desserts etc. is just too tempting. :)

Grabbed from Buffet 101's FB page - Buffet rates is P599 for lunch/P750 from Monday to Saturday

P799 for Sat/Sun/Holidays

This February, Buffet 101 has a very good promo for the Chinese New Year.  We availed of the 25% discount for Monday dinners.  So instead of paying P750, we only paid P562.50 per head.  This is a very good deal considering that this already includes unlimited drinks.

Very nice interior at Buffet 101, Eastwood City Libis, Quezon City.  The long buffet table includes a variety of dishes from plain rice to adobo rice and cheesy rice; salad bar, from do it yourself to pre-mixed salad which includes vegetables, macaroni and fruits; different dishes from filipino favorites like sisig, asian cuisine like curry, and traditional buffet dishes like roast beef/pork with gravy and noodles.  There was also chinese section but I wasn't that interested anymore because we usually eat this already.  There were only 2 kinds of pasta - Penne Carbonara and Spaghetti Bolognese.  There were pizzas and quesadillas too. :)

One of my favorite sections in buffets is the Japanese cuisine.  I love trying diffent types of maki though it's very heavy to  the stomach.  I also like the different fried dishes like tempura but you have to have the right timing since it gets easily wiped out and you have to wait for the refill. :p

We noticed the bottles of sake on the buffet table and wondered if it is included in the buffet.  Unfortunately, we were informed that we can't taste it and that they were for display only (lol).

Of course, don't forget to leave room for dessert!  

I like the maja blanka since it's not too heavy :)

Chocolate fondue.  But they only have marshmallows :D

Very colorful candies and jellies area.  The ice cream section is right beside it. :D

Nice that they also have crepe area.  But I don't like sweet crepes.  I prefer hot crepes like ham and cheese :)

Lastly, don't forget your fruits.  Eat lots of them :)

My team.  We celebrated the January, February and March birthdays and also despedida for those who will be moving to new projects.  So I guess, this is my first birthday celebration.  :)

Blurred my teammates' faces since I do not have permission from them to post hehe.
