Mati's Meat and Bread: Burger and Pasta

On the same day we ate at Feta Mediterranean, we also tried out Mati's. We also purchased an online discount voucher for this.



Salmon Pasta

There was a certain quality in the pasta that made us eat it even if we were still quite full. Maybe it was the garlic and the bell peppers. Pasta was al dente even though more pieces of salmon would have made it more awesome.


Burger

Since we were still full from our trip from Feta, we just tasted the burger a bit and had it for take out.  We ate the fries which had a smokey taste to it.

The location was really nice with a view overlooking the river park. It's nice to stroll around here after a satisfying meal.

Feta Mediterranean: Gyros and Yogurt Shakes

We purchased a discount coupon that gave us a whopping 60% off. We just paid Php 200 for food that is worth Php 500! And this meal left us very very full.

Food tripping with my cousin, we went to Festival Mall in Alabang on a hot weekend noon. When we finally reached our destination, we first ordered a yogurt shake each and then thought of our own orders.


Yogurt Shake

We had an option to have this sweet or salty. Both of us chose sweet and we were glad that we did because the sourness of the yogurt mixed well with the sweetness thst they added in. I can't imagine what it would taste if it was salty. It was served in a big mug and I guess it contributed to making us full easily.


Pita Gyros Roll

There was a little open prep area where you can actually see the pita or bread prepared or heated. I think I even saw dough so it means that the breads are freshly baked. The Pita Gyros Roll was already cut in half so we took a piece each. This was simple in terms of flavor whihc makes it an easy canvass for adjustment of flavor using the yogurt sauce or the spicy sauce on the table. The pita was a little stretchy and chewy, the way I like it.



Keftedes (meatball) Sandwich

The bread here was a bit on the tougher and heavier side. The meatballs was more flavorfull than the meat in the gyro. It was a mix of saltiness with a bit of sourness.

I think we spent a little over Php500 but it was still a good amount of savings. It was just a little far from where we live.

Kimukatsu: Katsu with Layers of Flavor

Some time last December, we dined at Kimukatsu. They serve layered tonkatsu with different varieties. We also had an online discount voucher for this.

Pretty interiors. We went on a weekday so the place was not that full. Only 2 other groups were dining.


The Set Meal

Each set meal includes unlimited rice, cabbage salad, soup, pickled vegetables, and tea. The cabbage was served in a single bowl.



The rice was in a single wooden container which had the katakana characters spelling out ki-mu-ka-tsu. We each had our own bowl of soup and saucer of pickles.


Condiments were readily available on each table

 The white miso soup option was mild in taste.

The red miso soup option had a more prominent flavor.

The Katsu

The katsu were already cut when it arrived on our table together with the set meal.

Cheese

The creamy cheese oozes from the slice. The cheese was not strong in taste, just a gentle creaminess to match the crispy coating.

Yuzu Kosho

The layering is more evident in this one. It was a little sour coming from the yuzu.

We finished two whole servings of rice and 2 and a half servings of the cabbage., and half of the sesame dressing.

Magnum Infinity

Last week, Magnum gave away free samples of their new Magnum Infinity variants! Chocolate caramel and chocolate raspberry were the options. I chose the Chocolate Raspberry. Sweet with a little fruity sourness seems like a good idea.

Thick dark chocolate with mounds of cocoa (I think) coats the ice cream bar. Inside, there is a layer of chocolate ice cream and raspberry ice cream. I did not see raspberry syrup swirls unlike the photos on advertisements, but there is a refreshing combination of the not so sweet chocolate and the hint of sourness from the raspberry. If you are up for more sweetness, maybe the chocolate caramel variant is for you.

Auntie Anne's: Red Velvet Almond

It has been a while since I ordered from Auntie Anne's. And when I did order, I tried Red Almond pretzel nuggets.

We waited for a little while for our pretzel nuggets (fresh!). The pretzel itself was indeed red from the red velvet dough, but not too sweet. The almond crumble was the "almond" part. You can easily finish a regular serving in one sitting since it is a little addicting. I just wish there was more almond crumble on all of the nugget pieces.

P.S. There was a pretzel shaped light above us as we ate.

Sensei Sushi

Sensei Sushi is one of the sushi / maki places I would love to go back to. A couple of months ago, my cousin and I decided to eat at this restaurant located at BF Homes Paranaque.

We ordered three items from the menu which was enough to fill up two people.

Tuna and Crispy Scallop Dyanamite

The play on textures of rice, tuna, and fried scallop is addicting. The contrast of colors of the green plate and dominantly orange sushi is pleasing to the eye.


Crispy Philly

With a little bit of western influence, this crispy maki combines salmon and cream cheese into fried sushi rolls.


Ebi Tempura

The size of the tempura was indeed prawn-size, not just shrimp-size. Both the breading and seafood was generous.

McDo: Matcha McFlurry

Very hot weather calls for cool desserts. McDonalds released their dessert line inspired by Angry Birds characters. And they finally have something that is matcha flavored, inspired by the green piggies of the popular game turned into a movie.

You can see the usual sweet ice cream of McDo with Oreo bits. The green specs constitute the matcha flavor of the dessert. It is like a matcha shell coating that was blended into the ice cream. Also like the chocolate counterpart of the shell syrup, the matcha bits are solid until you eat it up and melt in your mouth.

This is definitely cool and sweet like the usual ice cream of McDonalds. But does not have an earthy taste that you get in other matcha or green tea ice cream. It is more like an Oreo McFlurry with matcha bits.
