Ramendate At Ikkoryu Fukuoka
It is not always that daughter craves for ramen. She is much more of a burger and steak lover but tonight was an exception. Hubby happened to have a meeting somewhere in Shang Plaza and we volunteered to join him for dinner- haha. Also, daughter has been singing ramen, ramen, ramen for quite some time now so I guess we have an excuse to dine at Ikkoryu Fukuoka. So after checking the shops for shoes, shoes, and shoes (someone is shoe-crazy lately), we ended up at Ikkoryu. Luckily, we were third on the list so we didn't get to wait that long for our bowl of ramen.
Charlie Wanton Special
Hubby and I have been running around town the whole day today so come dinner time, my energy failed me in the kitchen and I still have to feed hubby and daughter.
Luckily, our house is just walking distance from these fastfood restos --- Shakey's, Jollibee, KFC and Chowking. Then there's also Aling Banang's (tapsilogan), Hosena's (bulalo et al), several lechon manok stalls, numerous carinderias, and Hypermart (lots of food stalls that includes a Mang Inasal branch). But we decided to walk farther (free exercise) until we reached Charlie's.

Ramen Mondate
First time to eat here. Lucky us because we went to the ramen house early because the waiting line is quite longish during lunch and dinner time.
Dinner At Manda Centrale
Oh what fun it is to eat! And bumped into friends at the Manda Centrale early this evening. Also, hubby, daughter and I had a blast checking-out the food stalls one-by-one.
Juana Bowl. Daughter can't remove her eyes from the steak as soon as she saw it. An order includes rice and a generous amount of gravy. The steak was very, very tender. Daughter gave me and hubby a few bites each. So takaw!
Dinner crowd. We arrived around 630pm and it was already crowded. Luckily, we were able to get a table at the back of the shawarma stall.
Gino's Brick Oven Pizza. I've been hearing a lot of good reviews about this pizza place so when I saw it at the Manda Centrale, I know I had to order it. Had two slices. Good! But I find it a bit salty. Not cheesy salty but salt-salty. I'm guessing its the herb-mix that the lady generously sprinkled before handing me my order. Highly recommended. I just have a low tolerance when it comes to salt. ;)
Carlo's Kitchen. Crispy Pork Belly. Very, very good! Addicting, too. I had this with rice and it was so, so good. EXCELLENT. Hubby complained though that he felt dizzy afterwards. I teased him that it is because he ate more than a fair share. Hahaha. Four thumbs up!
Flavored Iced Tea. Melon and Buko Pandan, I think. Not that memorable.
The cakes and cheese rolls looks so yummy but we were already bursting. There's always a next time. :)
Okay, I lied about the dessert part. This we can't resist! Had Bailey's gelato and daughter had the Salted Chocolate Cookie Dough.
Shawarma Fusion. I don't know what the fusion part is but this is good. Cheap meal also. And yes, we decided to eat again after the gelato. ;)
Lasagna. Hubby ordered this because (according to him) he missed my soupy(?) lasagna. Sadly, this doesn't taste lasagna-ish to us.
Moshi-Moshi's Takoyaki. Another excellent find. And super affordable also. Four delicious pieces costs only P40. Nom nom nom. I'm going back for this!

J.Co Donuts
We're not really fond of donuts at home but once in a while, we indulge ourselves with these "holey" delights.
J.Co Donuts is the latest craziness when it comes to donuts. I guess its the melt-in-your-mouth goodness that attracts people to be donut-crazy like us (with daughter). Imagine going all the way to Mall of Asia just have our first bite of these donuts and donut panic-buying at Megamall. Crazy, right?
Luckily, these donuts are not that sweet so it's less sinful than Krispy Kreme.
My personal fave --- Alcapone
Hubby's choice --- Choco Caviar
Daughter's pick --- Oreology

Korean Dining In A Foodcourt
I've been hearing about Mr. Kimbob since late last year and saw it first in a foodcourt in Makati. However, it took me several months before I was able to taste it. Actually, I was craving for something different and was about to eat at a vegetarian resto when I saw Mr. Kimbob. I'm glad I saw it. I'm glad it tastes good. I'm glad it is reasonably priced.
Bibimbob or Bibimbap (beef). P99.00
Curry Rice. P85.00
I plan to try the gimbap or gimbob next time :)

Crispy Pata by After 6
Whenever we feel like having some calorific lunch or dinner, we just call our trusted crispy pata place and call in our order. Then after about 30 minutes, yaya will go there to pick up the piping hot crispy pata. Its about 5 minutes away from our place. Lucky!
Lomi
Years ago, there used to be a chinese restaurant at the corner of Welcome Rotonda and Mayon Street in Quezon City. Hubby and I used to frequent this place because I love the lomi that was being served there. Alas, alas, all good things must come to an end. The restaurant closed down and morphed into a popular fastfood chain.
Then we discovered that the lomi from Charlie's restaurant was just as good. Maybe they pirated the cook from the Welcome Rotonda Resto? Hehehe.
Lomi is best eaten during rainy days or when one has a cold. Squeeze in some calamansi and you're ready to go!
