C2 Classic Cuisine

The menu

C2 Classic Cuisine3/F SM Megamall Atrium, Julia Vargas Ave cor EDSA Wack Wack, Mandaluyong(02) 470-1152
The restaurant offers FIlipino cuisine and is a safe choice for people who have a craving for "lutong bahay" dishes. 
I wasn't able to take photos of the restaurant itself but it was clean and it has its own restroom. :) 

Buko pandan shake

We both decided to have the Buko Pandan shake. Apparently, Kim likes shakes like me but he would have been ecstatic if there had been melon shake on the menu. Hehe :)
It was refreshing. Well, anything with milk and ice is good for me. I love the pandan flavor, the coconut meat, and the jelly cubes.

Laing

We ordered Laing: gabi leaves with ground pork, bagoong, and coconut cream. Since I am part Bicolana, I am used to eating spicy food and I like anything with coconut cream. So I must say that I really appreciated this dish. 

Grilled liempo sinigang

The soup was sour, the way a sinigang should taste and the liempo was grilled just right. A must try dish. 
















We really did not order a lot but next time, we would definitely try the other food items in the resto.

Second date

Unfortunately, I wasn't able to take any pictures of our first date at A Veneto Pizzeria in TriNoma since it was the first time that we saw each other again after more than 15 years. I was still too shy to have our picture taken together but I vowed that the next time we went out, I'll have at least one photo. :)

March 16, 2013

Kim volunteered to accompany me on my tiangge shopping spree at St. Francis Square. (I'll post an entry about this the next time I visit the place.)

We had lunch first at C2 Classic Cuisine at SM Megamall. (I'll post another review on this restaurant).

Our first photo together :)

After that, we proceeded to my agenda for that Saturday. I was thankful because he was so patient while I searched all the aisles of the tiangge to look for some comfortable clothes for summer. 

The highlight of that day was when he accompanied me to make my first lotto bet. Yes, I know I am a loser. Haha! I thought it was complicated but I must say that it was quite easy. 

The lotto stand at St. Francis Squares

This is where you get your "ticket" 

Our ticket

You have to shade your "lucky numbers" on the ticket. Each box costs Php20 and we decided to do 3 combinations. I got the 1st box. Kim got the 2nd box. The 3rd box was a combination of our "lucky numbers". We had three numbers in common: 5, 9, and 19. We paid Php30 for this.

The official lotto ticket

This would have been the winning lotto ticket if we got the winning numbers but we didn't so I just kept it for sentimental reasons.











We got so hungry after the activities at St. Francis so we decided to stop by Sbarro at Megamall to grab a quick bite. 

I ordered a slice of white pizza and baked ziti. :) Sorry Kim, can't remember what pizza you ordered. Hehe :)















I had a really great time that day and it was just the start of many more Saturdates. :)

Gerry's Grill Dinner with my ATEs

Date: July 7, 2011

Venue: Gerry's Grill - SM Megamall

Finally, after 48 years, na-complete rin kame! :)

I am referring to my ATEs in BDO. It has been very difficult to have a consensus on  the date and day when we are going to meet up since I am already working in Makati and they are all in Ortigas. But as the cliche goes, if there's a will, there's a way. :)

And so we met on a Thursday night and had dinner at Gerry's Grill.

From left to right: Aj, Mei-Mei, Vanie, Anna, Donz

It's not the first time that I dined in the restaurant. Well, it's very ideal for barkadas since they have these set meals that are good for friends dining together. We were only 5 so we availed of Set 2.

For a more detailed menu, you can visit the Gerry's Grill website at http://www.gerrysgrill.com/ph/

The set meal we got is actually good for 6 people so we had left overs. We were all full by the end of the meal.

But I guess, regardless where I eat, as long as I am in the company of good friends, I will have a great time.

My beloved ATEs :)
