Memories at Blow-Up Babies

Last January 04, Sunday, after the wedding of my cousin, we went straight to Serendra because mom, Jerwin and I have an appointment with Blow-Up Babies for our family portrait pictorial. We realized, since we are dressed up for the day because of the wedding, we might as well take advantage and get our picture taken.

It has been a long long time plan already to have our family portrait but it always gets postponed or moved. Thank you for Chin, Jerwin's girlfriend, because she gave a wonderful Christmas present to mom. It is a 1-year membership at Blow-Up Babies, a studio located at Serendra in The Fort, Bonifacio Global City. This is the main reason why we decided to push through with this long time family plan already.

Anyways, here are some of the pictures: (more pics here, and also at my account in Friendster and Facebook)

Zao Vietnamese Bistro in Serendra

Just by uttering the name of the restaurant, there is this certain feel of uniqueness and ingenuity behind the creation of Zao Vietnamese Bistro located in Serendra. Just imagine how can a vietnamese restaurant be a bistro? hehehehe! Well, all I know is a bistro is synonymous to a restaurant. They call is a bistro in other parts of the world.

For starters, we ordered the ever-famous vietnamese spring rolls. There are lettuce leaves wherein you will wrap the spring rolls in the lettuce leaves, add the famous spring rolls sauce and the carrot as well as the turnip shavings. This dish is so delicious! I recommend it to everyone who will dine in this restaurant. If I am not mistaken, if my memory serves me right, this dish is priced at Php 185.00

And then came our main course. We ordered barbeque spareribs. Their barbeque spareribs is grilled into perfection wherein you will savour the delicious sweet and salty mix with a strong hint of charcoal. Very very appetizing indeed. We also ordered chicken and the beef tenderlion.

The highlight of the evening is its Zao Fried Rice topped with Salted Egg. I am really sorry I forgot what are the ingredients and the composition of this fried rice. It is sticky. Very very very delicious. Its flavour is not strong and will not fight with the other dishes that you will order. Its definitely worth ordering.

Gatherings are always fun. It is even more fun when you and your old friends meet again after a few months of not seeing each other. Share stories, share laughter, share problems, hear each other out, gather lessons, learn from each other. Having the company of true and good friends that knows you inside and out is one of the best things in life. Great company, wonderful bistro what more can you ask for?

Duo Steakhouse and Wine Bar

During Fridays, me, my brother and dad usually have our Friday night dinner, we call this our so-called "Daddy Day!" We usually meet at UCC Connecticut for some coffee sometime around late afternoon until we finally decide where to eat. Sometimes, we end up having a long debate and conversation where to go and have our dinner and it always ends up in Annapolis Seafood Palace (XinHau).

One friday, an SMS came through my mobile phone and it read "Meet at UCC Rockwell, Dinner at Serendra!" I quickly called to confirm if this is in fact true and indeed it is. But because of some changes, we all met in Serendra instead. Jerwin and Chin suggested that we eat at Duo since Dad is always craving for a delicious steak.

Duo served our palettes right. The food was delicious and the service of the waiters was exquisite.

This is the salad of Duo. It is named after one famous personality here in the Philippines who happens to be Ms. Tessie Tomas. According to Duo, they named it after her since that is her favorite salad. Everytime Tessie Tomas enters Duo and sits on its table, she will definitely order this salad. It is very very very delicious. Smoked salmon and grilled shrimp on top. Simple Amazing.

Duo is located in Serendra at Bonifacio Global City.

Thai at Silk

Jason, Marvin and I had a dinner get together at Serendra and we ate at this Thai restaurant named Thai at Silk. I dunno why I suddenly craved for Thai food. I am not a huge fan of Thai food but my palette demands a bit of change in flavour. We are all out of budget and running low on cash that is why we decided to just eat in a Thai restaurant. We didnt expect the food to be quite expensive.

BUT.....

The food is great.... so the price becomes secondary already. We ordered three dishes and there is an unlimited serving of Thai Jasmine Rice. The rice itself is so delicious already!

If you guys want to experience a good Thai restaurant then Thai at Silk is worth a try.

Best Sellers according to the head waiter:

a.) Green Chicken Curry:

b.) Fried Fillet of Fish with Sweet Chili Sauce: ( YUM!!!)

c.) Sweet pork ribs:

Look at the interior of the restaurant. I never expected it to be this cozy and classy. I've been to Serendra a couple of times already but this is the first time that I actually tried this Thai Restaurant.

For those of you who doesn't know where it is, it is located near Conti's =) Enjoy

SAWASDEEKA!!!!!
