My Kitchen

  Off to My Kitchen with my BFFs. A small restaurant in Oasis Hotel located in Paco, Manila. Cozy with a very relaxed ambiance, group of familes filled the restaurant that night. We wouldn't pass up on the panizza of course, which was really good.  The risotto dish was very oily, quite disappointing, plus it's a bit pricey.

Paco Panizza. Fine slices of herbed chicken fillet, smoked bacon, portabello & golden mushrooms, capers, & slices of kalamata olives.

Bowl of Arugula & Alfalfa Sprouts

Risotto Fruti Di Mate. Seafood risotto w/salmon, mahimahi, shrimps, imported mussels, tomatoes, parmesan, butter & saffron

Grilled Home Made Italian Sausage w/ caramelized garlic in red wine sauce, lentil casserole & golden fried potatoes

Cozy ambiance of the restaurant

Dinner with BFFs at Chef's Quarter Robinson's Place Manila

  The weather was fine when we were on our way to My Kitchen, then kaboom! It rained hard for 15 minutes & believe it or not, instantly roads were flooded. We actually reached our destination but the thing was the surrounding areas were already flooded so we decided to eat somewhere else. Well,  we got stuck because there's water everywhere. Finally we were able to reach Robinson's Place Manila. Starving, we ended up eating at Chef's Quarter.
  The place was nice. Big, classy, cozy. We didn't order appetizer anymore, went straight to the main event. We ordered fish & chips, half of stuffed chicken & seafood paella. Generally, we were quite disappointed. The dishes really looked good but the taste, from 1 - 10, I'll give it a 4, especially the pealla, tasted like butter rice. Maybe we should have ordered the steak :-)
