Lunch @ Savory + Gelato for Dessert

June 5, 2011 (Sunday) Usual Sunday routine! Mass at 10AM at Saint Jude+Brunch+Dessert. We agreed on eating at Savory. This place absolutely doesn’t get old and obsolete! We ordered the usual dishes we always have when we dine in there. There’s the Savory Pancit Canton, the Yangchow Fried Rice, the famous Savory Chicken, and of course the four seasons drink!

The Pancit Canton tasted absolutely saucy and tasty—my favorite pieces would have to be the sliced fish balls, and the noodles+sauce!

The Yangchow Fried Rice is and will always be the best—I had about 4 tbsp of rice. Come on, I workout like hell so it wouldn’t hurt to eat rice once in a while.

The Savory Chicken is reaaaaally great—my favorite part is the thigh/leg. Don’t give me wings, because I don’t see any meat in the wings—unless the chicken who died was really fat!!!

Four Seasons Drink. THERE IS ONE THING YOU HAVE TO REMEMBER: DO NOT SIP THROUGH THE RED STRAWS! They are dirty inside!!! My sisters and I have developed this obsessive habit of checking/peeping inside the straws before sipping through them. Do you do that? If no, then you better start thinking about it. You don’t wanna ingest yucky yuckies, do you?

We did a little strolling before finally heading for some last minute refreshments/desserts. I initially wanted milk tea. And there was only one milk tea place in SM Manila. It’s Happy Fanshu located inside the Supermarket. We went there, and we were greeted by a person-less booth. The girl went on a break. Well that’s 65.00 loss for them.

Where else would I run to but Caffe Ti Amo? I had my usual Regolare Gelato Cup with Dulce de Leche and Chocolate gelato. Dulce de Leche reminded me of the ice cream that we had during the Neutrogena press launch. It tasted really yummy. And for the chocolate? I don’t think there’s a need to expound why chocolate will always taste the best.Well that’s another Sunday for us! See you in the next!

Arrivederci!

My Favorite Cafe: Caffe Ti Amo

Last Sunday, went curtain shopping and spent hours just looking around home decors. The mall was having a furniture sale of some sort and it was really fun to look around. I can't wait for the day that I shop for my own house/apartment! That would be beyond awesome (at least for me because I loooove decorating/organizing). 

Before going home, I went to Caffe Ti Amo just to hang out a bit. I ordered the usual. Honeybread Gelato and Mocha Frappe. And the mall has free Wi-fi so it was really convenient. Caffe Ti Amo was quiet that day, and it was perfect. No noisy talking people or the likes. I sat comfortably in a 4-person table just because my bag needed a chair and the things I shopped for also needed a chair. Call me selfish, but I love having big spaces! And besides, there were only a few customers that day. Believe me--I'd hate it, but I'd move if a larger group arrived to sit.

So lemme tell you something about the Honeybread Gelato. I chose cookies 'n cream and dark chocolate gelato to be put on top of it. It costs PHP120.00 And it's the best, I can say. It's actually more than what I could finish. I call it heaven. Gelato, honeybread, syrup, blueberry sauce...Mmmm. Perfecto! All the while I was thinking, "How many calories does this baby have?" The Mocha Frappe was nothing special. I prefer Starbucks' more (well, duh) But Starbucks is always crowded so it's always Plan B for me.

Caffe Ti Amo brings me this homey cozy feeling that is why I love this place!

Arrivederci!
