Life as I Picture It: July 2011

Koi's Cacao Barry ($2.90) and I love it and addicted to it. What is better than unsweetened (0% sugar) dark chocolate drink with tapioca pearl?

NYDC, Celebrate Life, Big City Style. Hmm. Don't quite get why it says so. I start to compare it with New York New York and Swensen's. They are somehow the same, generalized western foods involving pizza, pasta, burger, and sinful desserts of cakes and ice creams. Although it stands for New York Dessert Cafe, their entrées are not to be missed too.

Big O Cheesecake ($6.95). I like this one because the rich sweetness of the chocolate is balanced by the salty and savory taste from the cheese.

The Boney Cake ($9.80) with vanilla ice cream (choice of vanilla or chocolate). Cloyingly sweet, can be too overwhelming for some.

Something like Banana Coffee Elephancino ($7.65).

Pork Loin with Wedges ($15.50 + $0.50)

Hawaiian Pasta ($11.50)

Mine was 3 Amigos Pizza ($15.95). It was not bad but not so good either.

Prices are exclusive of taxes.

Four Leaves' Almond Fruit Top ($3.20), decent cake with decent price

Togi for A Friday Night

We waited for an hour before we got our table. The queue was incredibly long it was as if there were no restaurants around. To me the food was good but not exceptionally so. The side dishes were constantly replenished and the tea was good and cheap.

Saturday Afternoon in The Beach

Cafe del Mar serves good food. The staff were attentive. Our glass of water was never empty. The only thing I think could be improved was the upholstery of the chair (I sat indoor), which was worn out to bits. When I stood up, some of them sticked to my pants and legs.
I very much liked my Seafood Minestrone though the real presentation was very different from the display picture with the latter looked much more palatable. I enjoyed the Marisco Paella too. It could actually be shared by two, given its enormous portion. I tried my friend's Baked Pacific Dory too and yummm, the sweet and savory flavor from the garlic butter was just perfect. According to my friend, the Clam Chowder was not bad too.
