Alfarsi (Maginhawa)

There are a LOT of places to eat in Quezon City. All tucked into the streets here and there, so you just have to (know where to) look. We went to a newly built building full of eateries along Maginhawa street in Diliman to sample some of Alfarsi's Persian Grill food. It's owned by some young entrepreneurs (who are friends of Chesca's brother), so show your support! PS: they're on facebook: https://www.facebook.com/AlfarsiPersianGrill

Wildflour (BGC)

One rainy weekend we took a trip to the Wildflour at BGC. We've been looking to try it out after hearing good reviews about it. Parking was simple enough, although it can be a bit hard to find (it's inside the building where the restaurant it). This eatery exudes an upper-class, somewhat elitist atmosphere. You can see it in the diners; everyone seemed to be dressed in their finest and even had their pets along with them for brunch. It was packed inside too, so we had to settle for seats outside.

First up was some a pastry appetizer. The bread had a crackling crust and was on the salty side (kind of like a baguette). Came with a lot of butter though. But we used it up anyway :D.

Italianni's (Eastwood Mall)

We met up after work at the Eastwood mall in Libis, and we decided to try out the Italianni's there. We don't usually go to this place (at all) because it's expensive; but then we had a discount card :D. It was a busy place at the dinner hour, service was a little slow. It took a while before they got us the bread appetizer. Two slices of regular white bread (ciabatta?) and something with more herbs in it (also ciabatta?). It had an olive oil-balsamic vinegar dip and helped stave off the hunger for a while.

HOKKAIDO RAMEN SANTOUKA (Glorietta 4)

The first time we went here, the place was full of people. Seems to be famous, we thought. So we decided to try it another time. And a few weeks later, we did (at our usual late lunch hour). Located on the ground floor outside of Glorietta 2 (facing SM Makati), it may be hard to find for some. But a little wandering around and you will eventually find it. It has this big sign after all.
