It’s been ages since I last visited Highland’s Steakhouse which is exclusive only to Tagaytay Highlands Members. I’m not really a steak eating person but I went along with fellow bloggers to watch the last World Pyro Olympics. The Highland’s Steakhouse at the SM Mall of Asia still gave me that same deja vu as their Tagaytay Highlands main restaurant. The view from the Highland’s Steakhouse in the SM Mall of Asia was just fantastic. I will definitely reserve seats for next year’ World Pyro Olympics. Like I said earlier, I don’t eat Steak so I ordered their Prawns.

The Museum Cafe is located at the ground floor of the Ayala Museum at Greenbelt 3, Makati Avenue. It has a pleasant, modern-minimalist ambiance and is presented as an extension of the museum cum art gallery. On a weekday evening its pleasantly uncrowded.

The Museum Cafe serves what is popularly called “Asian fusion” , a variety of dishes influenced by various Asian cuisines, predominantly Chinese and Southeast Asian. We started with Fried Spring Rolls and Honey Duck Rolls as appetizers. The spring rolls were good, hot and crispy with ground pork and shrimp filling, dipped in a sweet chili sauce. The Honey Duck was unexceptional, a fancy name for chopped roast duck and veggies rolled up in a rice wrapper. Without Hoisin sauce it would taste like rice paper.

Namsan, a korean fastfood restaurant in the third floor of Walter Mart Makati was the quick solution for our hunger pangs. My husband and I were busy window shopping for future appliances when we realized it was past noon. In any Korean fastfood restaurant, my first order is usually beef stew cooked in a sweetish soy sauce. To add vegetables to my diet, the Kimchi best complements the sweet beef stew. It’s not cheap at Namsan. The beef stew is 165 pesos per dish while the Kimchi is 50 pesos. Inspite of the high price, my hunger was satiated.

Last saturday, my family and I went to visit a prospective property that we were interested in buying. We were all sold to this beautiful house so we all sat down for lunch at Freska to discuss our plans before we met the buyer. Fresk offers the best of Ilonggo seafood dishes at along katipunan avenue near Blue Ridge village.

One has to have a full tummy in order to negotiate the terms of the sale. Ilonggo cuisine is unfamiliar to me so I let my husband order the dishes.

Looks like Gonuts Donuts are gearing up for Krispy Kreme competition. Their latest line, Primadonuts, feature melt-in-your-mouth doughnut flavors. Gonuts introduced some premium high end flavors almost as expensive as Krispy Kreme. Great market positiioning. Their primadonuts cost 28 pesos each. Compare that to the lowest priced Krispy Kreme donut cost a whopping 30 pesos each. My girls think that Krispy Kreme is just way too expensive. They still prefer Cellos or Gonuts.
