First off, lemme greet you guys a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! I know it's kinda late hehe. :P But before 2008 ended, I had done quite a few foodtrips. Well, I'm gonna start off with Curry Curry House.

Budget: prepare around Php 300-400 (USD 6.75 - 9.00)

A few hours before Christmas, I've decided to go to the mall for some errands, last-minute gift shopping and of course, food! Together with Darice and 4 other PPF members - Jeff, Kaji, Sketch and Arc - we tried Curry Curry House.

If you crave for anything and everything curry, then this is the place you should go. The place is kinda modern Japanese curry shop. You'll like the ambiance since it's still new and not a lot of people dine inside. And you bet your Php300 will make you full in no time as they offer unlimited rice (like Tokyo! Tokyo!) They have an array of curry dishes, from pork, beef, chicken and even tofu and vegetables (yay! for the vegetarians out there.)

For my personal favorite: bento!

Okay, this is what they call the SUPER BENTO. And it really is super. For Php 275 (USD 6.19), you'll get: unlimited rice, meat of choice with curry sauce (I had pork), tofu with sweet sauce (I think this is Agedashi Tofu), Miso soup, salad of apple, lettuce, tomato and cucumber in a mild sesame dressing, two slices of orange and bottomless iced tea. Talk about big appetite!

And if you ran out of curry sauce, they sell extra for Php 25 (USD 0.56)

Foodie: Italianni's Foccacia Arugula

2008-12-23T10:20:00.000-08:00

Our company had dinner at Italianni's Eastwood last night. The supposedly Ravioli appetizer was I think not available so my boss ordered this, Foccacia Arugula.

Foccacia Arugula consists of, well, foccacia bread topped with a sweet sauce, cherry tomatoes, arugula leaves and cheese. It has this nutty flavor in it.

Actually, I was the only one who tried this appetizer. It sure is good but not really appealing to me. I'm no fan of crusty breads. I'd rather be munching on soft buns.

My Verdict: I suggest trying this before taking my word for it. LOL.

Marc, Rem and I were on the hunt for good resto when we stumbled upon The Kebab Factory - a Persian - Indian restaurant. Their menu maybe a bit high for the budget but it's good for sharing and you'll really have your dose of belly burst :P

What we ordered:

Shishkebab

The meat is tender and flavorful. Add in the onions while your eating it and it makes you feel that you're eating hamburgers. We also dipped it in the yohgurt-garlic sauce (the white stuff you eat with shawarma) and masala sauce.

Dried Potato Curry

For the vegetarians, this curry dish is good. It has a little kick of spice to it. And it's good with the shishkebab/saffron rice/pita bread.

Hummus with Beef

It comes with a piece of pita bread. The taste is excellent. The flavors do not overpower each other. We even had a third round of pita bread before we finally finished chowing it all up.

TKF Iced Tea

Since I'm not a soda fan, I ordered this iced tea. (It was recommended by our server too ^^) And yeah, it tastes great. It's like drinking Sola iced tea raspberry but I really can't figure out what taste it is. But heck, I like this tea :D

All in all, it was a great experience dining at The Kebab Factory. The service is superb and fast. (But I think it's because it's not that known yet) The place is kinda crowded, not with people, but with the tables and chairs but it gives the customers that homey feeling. And, we'll definitely go back here again for another scrumptious meal.
