Feeling at home @ Angel's Kitchen

     We were by the north area and decided to go to Angel's Kitchen for lunch. We just love their cozy and home-y ambience and their home-cooked type meals! This place is perfect for gatherings or bonding times and for a "time out" from the hustle and bustle outside. This adds to our comfort food list. 

It feels more like a house than a restaurant... Hihihi!

I find their water bottle cute! It's good they already put water on the table.

Their signature pate

-This is one of the things I look forward to here... Hihihi!

    

Salmon cake with wasabi dressing

-This is both refreshing and savory with a little kick... Yummy!

Salisbury steak

-With mashed potato, egg and bacon

Laksa

-This is one of the best laksa in town.

     

     The pate, salad dressings, Lengua de gato and other food items are available in Mi Casa, which is right beside the restaurant.* Also available are room and kitchen sprays... Grapefruit with Eucalyptus is our favorite.

Comfort food @ Sugi

     For over 20 years, Sugi has been one of the family favorite restaurants. We've been eating here since the 90's. Going back to memory lane, Sugi during that time was located near the stairs (which is currently in Greenbelt 5). Im sure some of you will remember those stairs were in between Pancake House and Dulcinea. Quality has been constantly good all these years, which is why we love it here.

This eggplant appetizer is our favorite.

The California Maki and Kani Sarada are great with extra Japanese mayo.

Kit Kat Fanatic

     "Have a break. Have a Kit Kat." Who can forget this catchy line of the chocolate covered wafers in wrapped in red foil? Nowadays, more Kit Kat flavors are available in the market besides the dark and white chocolate. In the local market, these come in 4 flavors: Dark, White, Mint and Orange. Among the 4, I'll go for the classics, Dark and White. I used the latter once as topping for my Green Tea cupcakes.

     We discovered other Kit Kat flavors from Japan. The sweetness is just right, flavors are awesome, so as a result... they're worth the calories. 

Green Tea
-We discovered this one in our Japan trip last 2009. Mom and I were looking at a gift shop in the airport when I saw this in stock. Out of curiosity, I bought this and loved every bite. It was like heaven.

Sakura Green Tea

-At first I thought it was weird to have a flavor of a flower. I was pleasantly surprised. It has a hint of flavoring which tastes like vanilla. Thanks to my sister, Nicole for sharing this. 

Blueberry Cheesecake

-It's close to eating the real thing. Again, thanks to my sister, Nicole.

     We always requested these if anyone from the family went to Japan. To our dismay, these flavors aren't available in Manila... or so we thought. Thank goodness, we learned these flavors are available in one of our favorite Japanese stores, Konbini in Greenhills. Delivery is every Tuesday and Friday. Other Japanese flavors available are Strawberry, Dark Chocolate, Blueberry and Wasabi. I would suggest to call first just to be sure. Enjoy!
