MMLDC’s Areva Pavilion. Genia’s Lutong Bahay. Happy Cream Puffs.
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! ~ ConnieThere are little known establishments, sometimes in nooks and back roads, that you might never have heard of. Let me tell you about three which offer such great fare that they have earned loyal patrons.
MMLDC’s Areva Pavilion
Along Sumulong Highway in Antipolo is the conference venue known as the MMLDC. When you enter the gate, you won’t find anything ostentatious that screams five-star status. It isn’t that kind of place. It is more like a resort cum activity center set in hectares and hectares of what used to be a farm. So you’ll find lots of old trees and wide expanse of lawns.

A few meters from the gate is a sprawling structure that looks like an oversized Balinese hut. This is the Areva Pavilion where they have been serving good food for years (that’s how long we’ve been going there). Try the kani salad with the dried smoked eel.

Then, burgers served on split focaccia with egg, onion rings, lettuce and cheese – with French fries on the side.

If you feel you want something less complicated, have a plate of sisig.
Whatever you order, enjoy eating leisurely amid trees in a very rustic setting. And if you’re one of those people who has to be online all the time, Areva Pavilion has free Wifi – a surprising amenity considering the almost provincial setting. Finally, before leaving, walk the few meters to the aviary where you’ll find lots of exotic tropical birds – a treat that the young ones in your group will surely enjoy.

I like happy cream puffs. Their pastry cream is really light and airy in texture
A good light dessert for me
i wish you also post the respective prices of the menu you feature. tnx.
If I can manage to find the receipt, I’ll add them.
Looks good. I will try this place for sure when I come home. Hopefully…soon!
i just had my super late dinner but the pictures made me hungry again!
My Mom’s birthday is today and I was thinking of driving all the way to Scout Tobias to get her a Caramel Cake.
It is a good thing that it has been my morning ritual to visit your site and saw that I could get a delicious dessert just a few blocks from where we are staying here in Makati and to think that cream-puffs are actually her absolute favorite! She would surely be surprised.
Thanks for posting Ms. Connie!
Hi, Ms. Connie! A happy birthday to you (kahit late)… may you and your family have good health always.
Looking at the pictures above, I think my arteries just clogged up.. haha… if Antipolo wasn’t too far from where I live… I’d drop by there to sample the burger (and the sisig).
