Mario's Restaurant - Food Glorious Food! :D

I miss my my food posts. We usually eat at the same places, hence there's no need to post about the food. I haven't been going out as much; Plus, I haven't been bringing my camera with me. I would like to apologize for the pictures taken with my iPhone. It just doesn't do justice, oh well...

Dessert trolley - YUMMEHHHH!!! 

Complimentary Bread.

Mario's another oldie but goodie has managed to maintain the quality of its food throughout the years. If I am not mistaken, the restaurant is older than me and my parents used to have dates there. Staff is very friendly and attends to the needs of the diners. I would definitely go back and will keep going back because I love their steaks and desserts.

Mr. Jones - Food Glorious Food! :D

The baby wanted to eat at Mr. Jones, so we did. :) While we were on our way someone handed us a flyer that offered a free tapa dish when the diners consume 500php.  I already knew that we'd go over 500php so I took the flyer with me.

Melted "Old Bay" Crab and Dory Thermidor

NOTE: The picture shows a Dory Thermidor. As I have previously stated and will reiterate, I'm on a fish phase right now. (If ever such a thing existed LOL!) while I cannot consume crustaceans because of my allergy.

I like that they adjusted to my preference and removed the Crab part. Other places decline such a request.

U.S. Beef Ribcap "Tapa and Garlic Overload"

Mango and Caramel Pancakes

The fluffy goodness of pancakes! :)

Spoiled Baby Enky wanted candies too.

All pictures were taken with an iPhone - please excuse the quality of the images. I will gladly come back should any of you want clearer and more accurate pictures. We were just too hungry to take out the camera. What a bad food blogger I am. Hahaha! 

Everything tasted so good! My little sister did not like the bake macaroni though. I guess it is a bit different from the usual baked macaronis that we have gotten used to. The food is fairly priced and servers are very attentive and friendly. A must try for those who want to experience Greek cuisine or Mediterranean food. 

Next time I will order flaming mangoes, just because I want the server to say "OPA!!!" with feelings when it flames. Mwuahahaha! xD

Descriptions were taken from Cyma's menu. Just because I'm being super lazy today.

Abe - Food, glorious food!! :D

Abe is a Kapampangan term word that means a friend or a companion. It's a part of the LJC Group. 

This is one of my favorites - Sinuteng Baby Squid or sauteed baby squids. 

The squids are so soft and tender.

Chicharon Bulaklak.

If I were to literally translate it, it would be Flower cracklings LOL!

Pork Binagoongan

Pork cooked in shrimp paste. :) 

Carabao milk and macapuno ice cream on top of  sweet glutinous rice with ripe mangoes.

The yummy goodness of Sikreto ni Maria "Maria's Secret" - YUMMM!!! xD

The food is delicious. I like how everything tasted but found the servers a bit snotty. It was hard to get their attention and they were trying to delegate serving to each other which wasn't a very pleasant thing to do.  Lesson: Next time, I will eat at other branches.

Krazy Garlic - Food Glorious Food!! -

My little sister remarked earlier this week that my blog could pass for a food blog, which I don't think is bad at all. Hahahaha! :P

Krazy Garlic seems to be an apt place to dine in, this time of the year... I mean vampires are supposed to be scared of garlic, right? (Not that anyone has ever tested garlics on actual vampires, but that's what we've been told.)  Even local folklore has it that bad beings and spirits can be scared off with garlic. With the stench smell, who can blame them? :P 

I had high expectations from this place since it's owned by the Bistro Group which own a bunch of restaurant that I love such as Fish and Co., Italianni's, T.G.I. Fridays, etc.. 

Well, hullow there fluffy looking garlic!

Caesar Cheeseness

I liked the Caesar bread! It was so yummy! :) The veggies look wilted, don't they?

Four Cheeses Pizza

The pizza was ok but it wasn't served hot. I have never been a fan of cold pizzas so we took this home and reheated it.

Grilled Salmon

Please excuse me, I'm on a "I only want to eat fish & veggies right now" phase. This was flavorful and tasted great. I loved that their salmon was fresh and the pasta was al dente.

I am an icetea addict. Anyone who has ever spent time with me can attest to that fact. 

Well, I liked the mugs that their iceteas came in, but I found the actual icetea a bit too sour for my liking. Maybe the acidity is supposed to offset the flavor of the garlic. I'm not sure, but I'm quite positive about not liking it ar all. 

Overall, I would say that the place is a let down. Some of the food tasted mediocre while others were good. The servings were rather small for the price. The servers were nice but were hard to find. Perhaps it is just me, but I don't think I will be going back to this place anytime soon.

Some friends said they wanted to see me wear Lunasol Modeling Cheeks EX02 so I did, but I forgot to use my camera to take decent photos. Please bear with the cam whoring shots below for now--

Great food for those who want an amazing dining experience. I will leave the pictures speak for their price. Hopefully, the pictures will somewhat help justify such an extravagant luxury.
