BIRTHDAY FOODTRIP SA LILAC ST. MARIKINA

Bilang mahilig akong kumain. Bilang kaarawan ko at ng dalawa ko pang kaibigan na si Kevin at Gelo, Bilang bumisita dito sa Maynila ang kapatid ng super friend kong si Nissa na si Eric, naisipan kong yayain sila na mag foodtrip sa Marikina. Nag simula agad kaming mag research at mag plano. Akala ko hindi ulit matutuloy kasi medyo mahilig kami mag drawing  tipong taking Master's in Fine Arts haha! buti na lang naging mabait at masipag kaming lahat isang Sabado.. :)


Sabado ang napagkasunduan namin na araw at eto ang mga naplanong puntahan; PANDE AMERIKANA, FORGET ME NOT, COOKIE MUG AT CAFE LIDIA.  Apat na kainan sa loob lamang ng anim na oras. imagine. haha!

First stop: FORGET ME NOT

Cozy place, very vibrant aura, modern, malamig, nakaka-feel at home tsaka merong malakas na wifi. Iba-iba ang inorder namin para matikman as much as we can, ang nakakatawa lang eh walang nagawang tikiman kasi hindi namin namalayan ubos na pala yung nasa kanya-kanya naming plato, lalo yung kay Kevin (bully mode on :p )... pasta lang kasi..hehe. Satisfied kami sa lasa kagaya ng place, it taste cozy as well. They offer buffet set-up whenever nag po-promo sila.. May mga available na parking space para sa mga tsikot. It's a place for couple's date, barkada trip at family bonding. Budget: Php180. Next stop.

Buffalo Wings.

Grilled Porkchop.

Their well known Red Velvet.

Next stop. COOKIE MUG.

Cookies na mug o mug na cookies?

Going here, sinubukan namin lakarin lang from Forget Me Not to Cookie Mug pero dahil mainit nag tricyle din kami. Buti nalang, kasi wrong direction pala yung nilalakad namin, FO na sana, Friendship Over..haha! Curious kami anong lasa ng cookies na baso na matapos inuman ay kakainin, medyo weird ano po? hehe. We ordered yung specialty nila, frap na nasa malaking mug, cookies na mug with fresh milk at Oreo cake na nasa mug (jowk! nasa platito sya, puro kasi mug eh..haha!). Panalo yung frap nila, naging masaya ang coffee lover na tulad ko, ang laki ba naman eh..hehe. Nagustuhan ko ung oreo cake, swabe lang yung tamis, match sa frappuccino. Tangahaling tapat when we went there, mas okay siguro kung gabi, mas gaganda yung ambiance. Budget: Php150. Next stop.

COFFEEEEE......

The Cookie Mug is a fusion of a cookie place, a coffee shop, a pasta restaurant and a smoothie haven all rolled into one.

Last stop: CAFE LIDIA

Last but not the least. Dito medyo busog na ang katawang lupa namin..hehe. Maka-luma ang style ng resto nila, yung nakaka-throwback ba. Dahil busog na kami, Pizza at Giant Nachos na lang ang inorder namin kahit madami silang menu, madaming choices. Sobrang sarap ng Nachos, cheesy and yummy. Habang yung House Special Pizza naman nila is very unique. Na-enjoy nga masyado ni Gelo, naka-daming slice kasi sya with the excuse na bigla syang nagutom..haha! :p Next time pag balik namin susubukan naman namin yung mga main dish nila, palagay ko sobrang masarap yun, ang dami nilang customers eh. Very good place ito for large group, they can handle parties. Meron silang function rooms up to their second floor. Pauwi na sana kami, gladly napuntahan namin yung bandang likuran ng place near their comfort room, mero kasing garden, mini falls at swing. Budget: Php 150.

Giant Nacho's.

Hindi na namin nagawang pumunta ng Pande Amerikana, may iba pa kaming lakad eh, sa susunod na lang. Ayun, naisakatuparan namin ang plano, umuwi kaming busog at masaya, Baon ang mga bagong alaala ng pag kakaibigan at mga pang-aasar na madalas eh may sense din naman. Try nyo din..cheers! :)
