Mrs. Panda 's Foodie Reviews
- super yummy food as usual
- service is superb as always
- affordable :)

Weekdates: Fely J's Restaurant

There are some days hubby wants to work outside our home :)  kasi minsan he is tempted to work to bed which makes him go to sleep lang :) and marami di ibang distractions like tv. Sometimes, he will work at a coffee shop after lunch until dinner. I will do my mall-errands and my me time (massage, salon trips) and then we will have dinner. And we decided to try again Fely J's (i blogged them before here).

I think this is "Lengua Rendang" P 385.00  and syempre my all time favorite "Lechon Kawali" P 389.00

Claude's Dream P120.00 and I think this is "Canonigno with Mango Balls" P105.00

Peso Power:

4.25/5

Mrs. Panda's Foodie Views

- the lengua is too spicy for us, we even gave special instruction na mild lang pero even hubby na mahilig sa spicy hindi kinaya.

- lechon kawali is cooked very well - crisp and juicy.

- desserts are ok lang

- servers are better this time :)

Brunch at Maple Restaurant

Hubby and I have a favorite brunch place near our first home :) we usually have our weekend brunch here at 2nd Floor Sanctuario de San Antonio Plaza Complex and and do our Sunday grocery at  Rustans Fresh and Santi's :)   We're so happy that they have new branch at Alabang.
