Zucchini's Restaurant

Zucchini's Restaurant has been Quezon City's best-kept secret that's been around for more than a decade. Its a fine dining restaurant with a relaxed ambiance.

Here's one of the reason why Zucchini's is a best-kept secret:

Slow-baked Bone Marrow with Sea Salt and Arugula. Forget being health-conscious and simply scoop a generous amount of marrow on the Melba toast, sprinkle sea salt, and add some arugula and savor the goodness that will probably clog your arteries, or not. The creaminess of the marrow tasted so good you won't really feel guilty finishing off an order of this. According to the management, they have been meaning to retire this dish but loyal clients has always been requesting for this.

Wagyu Steaks At Carmelo's

Carmelo's may just be one of the numerous restaurants in Greenbelt 5 but did you know that this unassuming restaurant serves the best Wagyu steak in Makati? And not only that, the force behind Carmelo's Wagyu Steaks is none other than Christine Santiago- Rivera, who grew up in eating the best steaks at Melo's Restaurant.

Melo's Restaurant is synonymous when it comes to best Certified Angus Beef Steaks and I'm quite surprised that they also own Carmelo's. Actually, Melo is in fact, Carmelo Santiago, the founder of the restaurant with the best quality steak in town. I'm sure all of you know Melo's and House of Wagyu Stone Grill.

RECIPE: Lamb Chops Caldereta

Availed of the B1T1 Lamb Chops at Rustan's Fresh last night so we are in for a meaty week. (Sings--- Mary had a little lamb, little lamb, little lamb... Mary had a little lamb ..) Alas, today is a rainy Tuesday afternoon so grilling is definitely a no-no. Luckily, daughter loves caldereta so its Lamb Chops Caldereta Night for us.
