Barcino Anniversary Dinner at ATC

When Peter and I celebrated our 10th wedding anniversary last month, we went to Barcino located at Alabang Town Center. 

We ordered Seafood Paella (Php560.00) which we both found so scrumptious and very well-balanced. You could taste all the ingredients and you'd know they were all fresh. Peter, in particular, tasted a small amount of toasted rice at the bottom adding a little bit of texture. 

9th Anniversary Dinner at Alba

Peter and I just had our 9th Wedding Anniversary recently and we celebrated it the day after, when Peter was feeling a little bit better. He was sick for one week and couldn't even get up to eat. I had to prepare all his meals all the time, made sure he was taking his medicines, and checked his temperature regularly. I was happy to serve him but I guess it was also slowly taking its toll on me.

Casa Pilar @ Boracay

Casa Pilar is one of those food places that I should come back to next time I go to Boracay. It was a hot afternoon and I was looking for some free wifi connection. I saw some people using their laptops at Casa Pilar so I went in. I plugged my pc and ordered some food.

Pito & Mita: A Quick Review

As some of might already know, my gorgeous wife is enjoying an extended stay in Boracay. So while she was busy being yummy on the beach like this:

And like this:

I went off to to grab a yummy lunch with good friend and blogging juggernaut, Jayvee. He suggested we go to Pito & Mita in BF Homes. I have never been there before but since I've come to trust Jayvee's food recommendations, I agreed to meet him there. It was a good thing that I did.

Simply put, the entire experience was more than satisfying. The food was incredible and the staff were friendly and attentive. Like most of the establishments along Aguirre St., Pito & Mita was a charming house that was converted into a restaurant. The decor was nice, nothing special, but the place was clean and cozy and had a lovely ambience. The staff were also attentive and pleasant and thankfully, not overly friendly.

What's special here though is the food. I tried out their spinach artichoke dip served with melba toast. I absolutely loved it. The artichokes and the spinach blended beautifully with garlic and extra virgin olive oil into a wonderfully thick and creamy dip, a definite must try.
