Birthday Dinner at Casa Roces Part I

Hubby celebrated his birthday recently and since he heard me raving about Casa Roces, he wanted to mark the special occassion there. And these are what we ordered:




Halo-Halo Shake. A new twist to the halo-halo. Actually, I find this better because the "halo" are mixed already. Tastes good especially the chocolate ice-cream.




Buko Pandan Shake. Tastes ok but when it comes to buko pandan I am partial to Nathaniel's.




Salmon Caviar Dip. We ran out of melba toast so I guess it means we love the dip. Extra order of melba toast please!




Artichoke Salad. Teeny-tiny artichoke bits. Good!

Chef's Bistro

Conveniently located near Tomas Morato (94 Sct. Gandia), Chef's  Bistro is a nice place to hang-out not only on a Friday night. There are also some nights wherein a live band performs. They have nice private rooms on the second level for intimate dinners, parties or even meetings. Food also tastes great. No complaints here. :)

Casa Roces

Casa Roces is an old house in Malacanang district that was converted into a restaurant. The interiors was a combination of old and new. It opened to the public late last year (2011).













I was with my three mommy-mates so we ordered a dish each. I wasn't able to eat breakfast so I ordered the beef tapa (3rd photo from top) or tapsilog in carinderia term. The beef was flavorful and tender. I don't like my eggs runny so the sunny side-up didn't meet my expectation but since I didn't tell the waiter that I wanted it well-done, I'm at fault.
Over all verdict--- excellent!
