Ala Carte Menu at Seven Corners Restaurant of Crowne Plaza Manila Galleria (An IHG Hotel)

Crowne Plaza Manila Galleria Manila is one of those hotels we usually stayed at whenever we need to do errands for several days in Ortigas area.  Because of that, Crowne Plaza's Seven Corners Restaurant is always the first choice when dining - not only because it is convenient but because I honestly think they serve good food and their service is always stellar. 

While Seven Corners Restaurant is known for their buffet service, their options for ala carte offerings are nothing short of amazing too. 

Located at the 3rd floor of Crowne Plaza Manila Galleria (an IHG Hotel), Seven Corners Restaurant is the in-house restaurant of Crowne Plaza Manila and Holiday Inn Galleria while their Fab Restaurant is still close. 

Theo & Miguel Restaurant

My nephew is very fond of Filipino food. When dining out, he's the one to suggest to try Filipino restaurants we have not yet. This time, we tried Theo & Miguel Restaurant in Robinsons Place Antipolo. I have not heard of this restaurant before so, I have no idea what to expect. 

The food options on their menu is very limited, which makes me a bit apprehensive. In my mind I'm already thinking of the next restaurant to hit once I didn't like whatever we're having at Theo & Miguel. 

My apprehension grew when I realized that there's not a lot of seafood and vegetable dishes at Theo & Miguel. My father who is a senior only enjoy vegetable and seafood, I myself is trying to dodge meat, but I can still enjoy a bite or two. My nephew is a meat eater but mostly it's jut steak that he enjoys. Still we decided to give this restaurant a try. 

Nono's Comfort Kitchen & Bakery

This year, I had my first birthday without my mother. It hasn't been a year since she passed away. Hence, celebrating my birthday was the farthest thing in my mind. Normally, there would be cakes, ice cream, and spaghetti or pancit for long life. None of them appeared on the table at  home this year.  

Instead, my father decided to at least we eat out, share a simple meal and a prayer of gratitude for another year in his daughter's life.

I don't want for this blog post to sound somber, because did a great job of choosing Nono's Comfort Kitchen. A restaurant that serves comfort food, I must say that we were given a service that's heartwarming and food that's satisfying. 

There's Something New About Chowking Chinese-Style Fried Chicken #DeliciouslyDifferentChicken

Have you had Chowking Chinese-Style Fried Chicken recently? Have you noticed something different? I know I did. I had it this lunch time and upon first bite - in all it's crunchy and deliciousness glory, I thought, it's deliciously different chicken!

The Chinese-Style Fried Chicken we all love from Chowking is deliciously different now, indeed. 

Truth be told, it's always been one of my favorite fried chicken because it's so good and crunchy. I always choose it over other Chinese restaurants' rendition of fried chicken in a heart beat. And just when I thought it couldn't get more better than the way it is, Chowking upped it's game and make their Chinese-Style Fried Chicken all the more delicious!

The Fried Chicken Ice Cream

With the events that happened in my life in the recent past, I got caught up in dealing with things as it happen that for a moment, I lost my usual enthusiasm to new things to try food-wise. It was my nephews who introduced me to The Fried Chicken Ice Cream one time when we were at Newport Mall. 

I literally don't have any idea that it's actually a thing, The Fried Chicken Ice Cream.  I've been away from social media for far too long I've missed out on a lot. So when we chanced upon Dessert Club's pop-up that sells this interesting creation, I got some for us to try. 

Of course, my nephews were elated but I was skeptical. I've had Bacon Ice Cream at Crowne Plaza's Seven Corners Restaurant and it was downright amazing. But fried chicken? I wasn't sure what to expect that time.
