Almon Marina: Sandwiches and Beyond

Recently, as Nic and I was looking for a new place to eat, we discovered Almon Marina. It was located in the ground floor of Megamall, which we usually just passed by when going straight to BonChon. But then one night, curiosity got us, that we decided to take a look at their menu. And we decided to try out their food.

On our first dinner there (yes, we already dined there twice :D ), we were so hungry that we opted to try their grilled specialties.

Stuffed Porkchop (P175), Porkchop stuffed with cheese, apples, herbs and spices.

I ordered their stuffed porkchop, its tasted great, but it was kind of tough, that made it really hard to eat.

Roast Chicken (P195) served with rice pilaff and herbed vegetables

Nic tried their roast chicken, which is really really really good. The chicken was really tender and so flavorful. That I actually wanted to switch plates with him. (hehe :D )

On our second visit, I opted to try their Sandwiches, and Nic ordered their Roast Chicken, again.

4th Street BLT (P175) generous slices of bacon on crisp lettuce, topped with tomatoes on Ciabatta bread.

This I can say, is the best sandwich I have ever eaten, to date. It was that good.Β 

The generous serving of bacon was really crisp and very tasty. I could definitely eat this all day. :)

After trying out their BLT, I vow to myself, that I would try Almon Marina’s other sandwiches as well. And I can’t wait to try them all! :D

Banana Leaf(Podium): A Taste of the South East

‘Twas my parents anniversary, and we (my sister and I) decided to treat the family to dinner. As usual, I’ve been tasked to search for a good restaurant that serves food that we have never tried before. I’ve been hearing about Banana Leaf as one of the Philippine Tatler’s Best Restaurant in 2011. And decided to might as well try the food that they offer.

Banana Leaf offers modern Malaysian, Singaporean, Thai, Indian, Vietnamese and Indonesian Cuisine. Upon entering the restaurant,Β I instantly loved the cozy atmosphere of the place. What’s even more interesting was the fact that you would not see any plates here, for everyone would be required to eat at banana leaves, itself. :) Cool, right?Β 

What we ordered:

Pomelo Salad Thai Style (P138)

Malayan Beef Rendang (P238)

Deep Fried Crispy Chicken Malayan Style (P278)

Stir fried Mussels with Sweet Chili Sauce (P238)

Malayan Chicken Curry with Potatoes (P238)

Stir fried Chinese Kangkong with sambal sauce (P168)

Its no wonder Banana Leaf has already won tons of awards: the food was impeccable, the ingredients they use was with quality, and the taste was really delish. :D I love every dish that we ordered, and I would definitely come back for more.Β 

Cheers! :)
