C2 Classic Cuisine

After lunch at Sumosam and an hour or so of shopping, we left Powerplant to go to another mall, for what else, but to shop some more.
But we immediately got tired of walking and wanted to just have a snack and rest for a while.

We all wanted to have some sandwiches/wraps and coffee or tea and cakes at Starbucks, but there were no seats available. As we were very tired and can no longer go to another branch of Starbucks a 15-minute ride away, my mother just went inside C2 Classic Cuisine for a snack of pancit malabon and the like, but what started out as a snack, ended into a full-blown dinner.

I didn't like the merienda (snack) offering of C2, that I ordered Inasal Rice, Tortang Alimasag, Seafood Inasal and Buko Pandan Shake instead.

They ran out of bangus belly that they replaced it with tilapia in my Seafood Inasal. The dish was rich and delicious.


The Inasal Rice was also good but was very rich, that pairing it with a rich viand, like seafood inasal, was too much. A buffer of white rice is a must.


The Tortang Alimasag weren't good at all. They were crispy on the edges and hard and rubbery on the rest.
My niece was disappointed as well.. She also ordered one thinking that she could definitely finish an order of  3 crab patties, but after just a couple of bites she stopped eating the alimasag and ordered another dish.


They all loved the Sinigang na Tyan ng Bangus,


and my sister liked her Ginataang Halo-Halo, which I didn't like that much as it doesn't have that much ingredients like bilo-bilo. And the taro taste and color was overpowering. It was like a melted ube ice cream with sweetened bananas and sweet potato.


My sister's boyfriend ordered the Champorado, which he had a hard time finishing, as an order is good for 2-3 people. My sister said that it was better with powdered milk than the milk they offered.


My sister's boyfriend, a certified durian lover, also ordered and liked their Durian Brulee.


The Buko Pandan Shake tasted good but was just overly blitzed. It was not anymore a shake but a juice.


While the Sago't Gulaman was just okay. It seemed to have an added ingredient/flavor than the usual, but we can't pinpoint what.


After all that we ate, we still made room for the Sweet Surrender of the Sweet Life of Ange that my sister bought at the Bakers' Dozen at the Powerplant Mall. It has now melted (the ice cream part), but was still good.


Happy Eating!

Bacolod Chk-n-BBQ House

Another one of our Sundays out. Now we were a little late for the restaurants inside the mall, and we were carrying a lot of shopping bags (more like groceries), that we were also too lazy to bring to the car, that we settled for a restaurant near the supermarket, Bacolod Chk-n-BBQ House.



They also must be good because there were a lot of diners that night, they were full to capacity.

Since there were five of us, we just ordered Set Number 5, which comes with 4 Chicken Inasal (paa or pecho), Chicken Sisig, 4 Garlic Rice, 4 Baticolon (Gizzard) or Atay (Liver) and a tower of Iced Tea or Lemonade. And added an order of Pecho Inasal (comes with atchara and garlic rice), Chopsuey, La Paz Batchoy, Puto Manapla (which were good paired with their La Paz Batchoy) and Halo-Halo for dessert.











I like that compared to Mang Inasal theirs (Bacolod Chk'n) were not oily but still were "malasa".

Their Chopsuey too were good. Same as their Halo-Halo. Which was full of sago, gulaman, beans, red monggo, langka, sweetened bananas and ice cream. I just don't like how easy the ice melted. It was very fast. Maybe even faster than the guys at Fast and the Furious.

KKK

For dinner we ate at KKK. As we were still full from our late lunch at French Baker, we just ordered a few dishes.

We had their Pampanga (Pork) and Bangus Sisig, the Bangus being better than the Pork version. Sinigang na Tuna Belly, Ilokanong Bagnet, Garlic Pusit, Halo-Halo and Suman









All just okay food. I just don't like their Halo-Halo which was too sweet and doesn't have that much ingredients.

Didn't have any problem though with their wait staff as they were very attentive and nice.

Also, the interiors of the restaurant were quite interesting, with the jeepney design that separates the preparation area from the dining area and the bottle chandeliers.
