OUR ORDERS:

PAN-GRILLED DORY WITH LOBSTER SAUCE P320
Pan-grilled dory fillets with home-made lobster sauce.
Served with french fries, sweet peas, cauliflower & carrots.
The fillet is well-seasoned, same with the sauce, not nauseatingly rich. The fries are beautifully cut, with just the right crispiness. The veggies are still crunchy with a slight hint of butter. You can also try to dip the fries and the veggies on the lobster sauce for a better way of eating it.



BEEF LASAGNE P135
Baked minced beef with special tomato sauce, topped with cheese & served with their homemade bun.
You have a choice of beef or chicken with your lasagna.
For just P135, it's more than worthy of your money.
The minced beef are lean cuts with rarely a fatty one in sight. It's different from the one's sold at Greenwich or Red Ribbon, because they use minced and not ground beef. Plus, their sauce is just right, in between sweet and sour, so it'll definitely cater to the foreigners and Filipinos alike. The serving is more than good for one, but too little for two. The homemade bun that came with it is soft, warm and has a creamy taste to it.


WHITE CHOCOLATE MACADAMIA P110
An incredible combination of fresh roasted macadamia nuts and creamy vanilla filling, coated with white chocolate.
I was impressed with its taste & appearance. It is virginal in look but devilishly good in taste. Its filling even tasted like ice cream =)



MANGO DELIGHT P110
Juicy chunks of mangoes come together with home-cooked mango puree and fresh cream.
Though it is liked by a lot of bloggers and has been on the TOP CAKES OF THE MONTH, I don't like it that much. It's plain-tasting to me, and the mangoes used were a little bit sour =(



Happy Eating!
