Food Coma in May

Recent events in April had caused my appetite to dwindle down plus the fact that I knew I had to shed some pounds for the beach trips. My usual voracious appetite died down in April so that I can only take in water... and coffee, black coffee. T'was a bit depressing and disappointing, I tell ya.

Come May that things were a bit better and this appetite is back with a vengeance; hence, this blogpost of recent gastronomic adventures around the Metro.

Soms Authentic Thai Restaurant
Within Rockwell in Makati. We almost missed it as this seemingly hole-in-the-wall Thai restaurant  hides along Aligier St. Thai food may not be at its best, but who am I to complain when it's rather affordable.

Photo from here

Excuse the crappy photo. But we had Tom Yum, Pandan Chicken
and Pad Thai (not in photo).

Bellini's
Located at the Cubao Expo aka CubaoX, where the hipsters are. Ironically, a John Lloyd movie was once shot here. In case you don't know, they serve Italian food--pizza, pasta, risotto... But I already forgot what we ate.

We are not your JL-Bea loveteam.

UCC Cafe Terrace

SM Mall of Asia, you don't need directions to get here. And we all know that UCC serves one of the best coffees.

Coffee for the from-duty!

Dubbing Pinoy Mais con Hielo in a cake.
Soft, fluffy vanilla cake with corn kernels and flakes.

Chocolat
Along Wilson St. in San Juan City. Chocolate lovers unite!

Frozen Hot Chocolate + Death by Tablea

Buffet101
Again in SM Mall of Asia, along the San Miguel by the Bay area.

With the best katakawan buddies.

My dessert place--a sample of their panna cotta, mousse, and jellos.

R & J Bulalohan
Near Mandaluyong Circle. Beside a Petron station.  This is our pahabol food trip in May.

Day 3-mates may be the most matakaw. Look at that table!
By the way, we are on a post-duty status.

Purple!
