A culinary getaway
November 19, 2009 • Hello. I am currently out of the country and unable to respond to comments and e-mails. Rest assured, however, that future posts have been scheduled so new recipes will go live almost everyday during my absence. I'll be back soon with lots of stories and photos. Ciao for now! ~ ConnieDinner was the meal I enjoyed most.
The mushroom soup (above, left) was made with chopped fresh mushrooms and served with croutons. The baby back ribs (above, right) was very tender and moist.
I tried a spoonful of the shrimp and cabbage omelet (above, left) but since I am allergic to shrimps, a spoonful was all I could manage. The steak (above, right) was perfectly cooked — rare — and smothered with delicious gravy.
The stir fried shrimps (above, left) I did not touch but the kids and the hubby feasted on them. Chinese-style fried rice (above, right) accompanied all those wonderful dishes.
Dessert consisted of graham cracker balls rolled in dessicated coconut which I intend to recreate one of these days at home.

Where is this place? I might bring my family there. Is it expensive?
In Cavite, a short drive from Tagaytay. Click here for the review I wrote.
Hi Sassy:

Les
holy moly. thank you for that scrumptious slideshow of food.
Glad you liked it LES.
Did it make you hungry, dexie? hehehe
i feel like eating everything……raring to visit that place VERY SOON.
To ba yung kwento mo saken? Mukhang di ko type yung food.
have fun, amazing.
yuga, bakit, KULANG ba sa karne at baboy? hahahaha healthy living yung trip dun ano.
bonjour connie. am an avid reader of your blogs and column at MST. living in france and truly enjoy your food blogs. just wanted to tell you about a resto. my sister quietly opened in greenhills recently. she’s a great cook & foodie much like yourself.
the resto, Angels Kitchen 57 Connecticut St. tel. no.
744 1018, features filipino & spanish family recipes.
have received emails from friends who heard about the resto through word of mouth and were surprised that my sis, Marnie Gonzalez Ong, finally opend one. between raising 5kids and managing a home in manila & vancouver where 2 of here kids go to univ., where was the time? she’s such a mommy like you!
hope you find the time to try the resto some time and would love to hear what you think. friends rave abou the food & ambiance and sometimes book the entire resto for cozy dinner parties. it also has a shop that offers locally sourced food items. and hear the prices are reasonable.
bon appetit!
thanx for the tip!
mikelinparis, will keep that in mind next time we’re in the greenhills area. it’s a little far…
no problem, mig.
Now that’s what I call chicken barbecue… The cauliflower also looks oh so delicious..
Hi Connie,
My family and I will be visiting the Philippines next month on the 7th. Unfortunately, we will be landing late in the evening at 8:40 PM. We would probably be out of the airport by 9:30. Do you know if there are any resturuants that is near the airport or around Manila that is open 24 hours or open till 12 to 2 in the morning. We were hoping to have filipino food with some western cusine.
Thanks.
Ryan
