Pizza Patia

Like all others, Pizza is one of the most favorite fast food in the entire world! My brother (RJ) is a pizza lover. Living in a village where honestly is far from any fast food chains that you could ever think of. Well it's not that we are living on top of a mountain or any province that you think looks like. Where we live is peaceful and for me it's HOME! 

We came from manila today and on our way home, we happen to pass by Pantok and we saw a small stall where the first thing we read was "...Pizza" so we slowed down and read the whole logo "PIZZA PATIA".

Not bad! They already have their ready-made dough and tiny oven. The taste is ok. They have ingredients and enough for a simple business such as this. My brother loves their Cheesy Cheese Pizza (P248.00 XL). He can eat the entire box in one sitting! You can check them out! Enjoy! They can deliver for free. We do this all the time.

My father's Birthday!

I was about 6 years old and I was living in a small apartment which was provided for us when we we’re still living in Libya. I remember the smallest kitchen ever, we had the smallest oven, refrigerator, toaster and etc. And my Dad taught me how to bake cookies in our tiny oven. I was very little (literally..)then my mom would be the one doing the mixture, then me and my dad would prepare all kinds of shapes of cookie cutters, star shape, square, triangle, heart.. It was very cute.. While mom is doing the mixture, Me and my dad would draw and he would teach me how to stoke crayons and be well on it. Maybe that’s why I want colors when it comes to my dishes.

            Now that I am turning 24, It brings back memories, I dreamed about it. Today is my father’s birthday.. And I am mixed with different feelings. My dad is unfortunately in Libya where his boss wants them to inspect and fix everything that’s happening to their company’s projects.

            But even if we are very far apart we make sure that we communicate from time to time. And since it’s my father’s birthday, we decided to go to TriNoma and celebrate it with Italianni’s Restaurant.

            Not only because it was Christmas it was also the weekends and there were a lot of people shopping, roaming around and eating and enjoying. Since I knew where the restaurants were, I decided to take them to Italianni’s. When we got there, there were no tables that were available and clean, so the receptionist said to sit down and wait. She was pretty and neat but she wasn’t that accommodating, she just waited for the tables to be cleaned and have us seated right away. The usual introduction of our server, soup of the day and “Thank You Ma’am Sir, Enjoy your Meals”, not smiling she was on an off mood (I suppose).blah blah blah.

            See this is what I hate the most, I write things about Restaurants and the service they provide, since it’s a class a type of restaurant I expect a worthy service for a worthy price. Is that too much to ask? I was trained to speak my mind and treat every guests equally and fairly. I mature in the teachings of my professor with the saying “THE CUSTOMERS ARE ALWAYS RIGHT!”. We offer good food and best service we can possibly can because CUSTOMERS pay us for it! It’s our Job! 

Continuation…

            So as we sat on our comfortable chairs and as soon as the receptionist handed the menus.. I put it down and looked around. Italianni’s is one of the most marvelous restaurants I’ve ever been. It’s incredible structure and architecture is to die for. Displays of so many pictures of old Italian families, pots and trays that are made of wood and Italian words that are painted to the walls.  The whole set up had an Italian field and atmosphere to it. You can relax with your family and enjoy. 

Our server was not of help at all… He doesn’t smile nor laugh nor greets us whole-heartedly. He was just there standing, looking like he can’t wait for his shift to end. He looked tired and very inappropriate. His clothes were dirty and so as his apron. I asked him what are their specialties, and he wasn’t able to answer right away. So I became the server on our table. Asked each and everyone what they like and try to tell them what’s on every dish, good thing on the menu there’s an individual description. Ha! (admit it guys we sometimes are lazy to read that but come to think of it, why read if the server knows what’s in it! Anyways as soon as we each have what meal to have, I wrote it down and gave it to our server who wasn’t much of a help.

            It was my first time to come to Italianni’s TriNoma branch usually I dine in at Robinson’s Manila or at Gateway.. Plus my family is a big fan of pizzas and pastas. So it’s obvious we had to pick Italianni’s.

On our tables:

Appetizer :    Basket of Bread (Foccacia Bread)dipped in a olive oil and balsamic vinaigrette. This serves as a “while you wait appetizer”  and it is free.

                        Insalata Milano P495.00 – This salad has Salami Milano, romaine, black olives, tomatoes, grabanzos, parmesan cheese and it’s dressing Italian vinaigrette. The saltiness of the salami and cheese mixed with the Italian vinaigrette blends very well. It’s a great combination of flavors. Just an advise, order water just to numb the taste of the salad, so that you can still feel and taste the flavors of your main course.

Main Course : Beef TenderloinP995.00 – I was really upset with this dish. We wanted the tenderloin to be cooked medium rare and well done. I don’t know how they define Medium rare in their kitchen, what they served us was really off. It was Rare. Yes it was seared but it had 75% red through the centre. Medium rare is seared but it should be 50% red on the center.  The one they gave us had a gel-like texture, more likely eating a raw meat! Yuck!  Fortunately, the well- done steaks were 100% brown but still tender. I can taste the black pepper corn sauce and my brother likes the mashed potatoes and there was a side dish which is mixed vegetables that was topped with cream based sauce with cheese.

                     Grilled Pork Chops  (2 chops)P695.00- Now here’s a good main dish, I like the tenderness of the chops and its pepper-crust with black peppercorn sauce. Ofcourse the usual served with seasonal vegetables, crispy fried spinach and garlic rice. Very pinoy I might add. This was my mom's choice.. Again Mothers knows best.

            Grilled Pepper Fish Fillet P575.00 - Grilled Cream Dory fillet seasoned with black pepper and served with either mashed potatoes or pasta coated with olive oil then on the side you have there the tomato cream sauce with mixed vegetables. A very healthy yet tasty meal. My godmother ordered one.

            And as for me.... I had the Parmesan Crusted Fish Fillet (Regular) P595.00 - Cream Dory coated with Parmesan Cheese and Breadcrumbs, served with their amazing and delicious caper cream sauce, mashed potatoes and buttered vegetables. Two thumbs and definitely a recommendation. A must-try dish.

            As you can see me and my family loves dining out especially during special occasions. All their dishes were a little pricy, and their service was really bad. As soon as we were done with our meal, my sisters were complaining about their service, how raw the meat was. It was painfully disappointing.  The place was good (no! the best set up!)Food? (it was ok…)SERVICE? VERY BAD!

            Thanks everyone for reading.. Have a nice day…

Eat HAPPY Everyone!!

Falls off the Bone

I love steaks... I love them!

I usually tell my boy friend that I’m craving for steaks even though we had it like a day before or something like that. I actually say that all that time just so he could agree. After his shift, we met at SM MOA to have dinner then went RACKS.

RACKS is known for their tender and “fall of the bone” steaks. They have this technique in grilling them. I don’t know how you do it but it really tastes good. Their best sellers are the Baby Back Ribs that starts off with P500.00++. Their Hickory Smoked flavored Chicken that starts of at P169.00, is also known. Grown-up or kids also loves coming back for their Mac and Cheese – P55.00.  I’ve been in this restaurant a couple of times.

These are some of their services ;Takes Reservations ,Walk-Ins Welcome, Good For Groups, Good For Kids, Take Out, Delivery, Waiter Service and Outdoor Seating. They accept credit cards, Visa, Mastercard or American Express.

I love the bright white base architecture. I like the touch of greens and yellows. The chairs and tables are made of wood, they’re very soft and neat looking. I like how they made a concept of exposing their brick oven, so that customers will be able to see how their steaks are grilled.  MOA branch can use little bit of cleaning. But I don’t blame them there were really a lot of diners during that time so, there wasn’t really enough time to sweep the floors or wipe it up.

The receptionist was nice and was able to assist us in getting a seat. But was not able to introduce us to any servers, she just hand the menu and that’s it. Then after a while, a guy went to us and introduces himself, and his name is Sherwin.

Since it’s a steak house and all the incredible sauces or basting sauce for all the steaks are very juicy and messy and not to mention all the servers are wearing white, our server had a few spots on his clothes which I believe came from the steaks. He wasn’t able to recommend any dishes for us so we really had to choose on our own.

But once m and my boyfriend picked a dish we liked he was able to explain what was in it and what are our options which is a big thing because usually as soon as we get our orders done, they just write it down and just leave. That’s it!  He did a good job in explaining and repeating our orders..

My boyfriend had the bottomless Ice Tea – P80.00++. It was cute because the served it in a beer mug, so at first we thought it was a beer but it really wasn’t so that’s cute. And I had the Pink Lemonade - P80.00++, as mentioned I like big serving, unfortunately for this one there wasn’t really any option to have it bottomless and it was not enough.

For our appetizer we had the Buffalo Wings – P207.00 (3 pcs). It’s not that spicy. It has a very light color. It wasn’t that warm either. I like the mild taste, a little bland for my taste but it’s still ok. I would recommend offering this to kids.

          My boyfriend had the Baby Back Ribs – P425.00 (Half Slab), served with corn bread, a choice of side dish which in his case he had the Asian Slaw, Mac & Cheese and steamed rice. The Asian Slaw was a bit dry but tasty and delicious. Mac & Cheese is to die for. And the baby back ribs was so tender and soft! He finished the whole thing.

          I wanted a real steak. I diet – killer steak. I ordered the Beef Ribs – P316.00 (Quarter Slab) – served with corn bread and your choice of side dishes. I had the Potato Salad and Mac & Cheese. I loved the Potato salad. Not too warm and not too cold. I like the taste very Italian. I really liked the ribs. It’s very soft and very tender. I could have another one if I was asked to.

So.. here's the deal.. if you're looking for a hot and super delicious and of course affordable steaks you can always visit RACKS. i enjoyed it.. and surely you will to. Hope you enjoyed...Thanks for reading.. 

Eat HAPPY Everyone!!

Fat Girl's Recipe : Cheesy Meatballs

You know how irritated you get when you see a lot of left overs in the fridge? And sometimes you're anger gets worse coz once gets spoiled you don't have any choice but to throw it away? Well, here's an easy dish that you can have if you got left over spaghetti sauce or any ground meat you have cooked last night.

Cheesy Meatballs

Ingredients:
Left over Giniling (What I have is left over spaghetti sauce, I washed it a few times to lessen the tomato sauce and seasoned it a little bit)
2 Eggs
Flour
Mozzarella Cheese , cubed
1 tsp Salt
1 tsp Pepper
1/'2 tsp. Cumin (curry, pepper, rosemary mixed flavor) this is optional, most people find it smelly, so instead of using cumin you can use any beef powder or magic sarap can do as well.
spring onions, chopped optional

Procedure:
1. Mix Giniling, salt, pepper, cumin, eggs.
2. Shape the meat into meatballs and insert the cheese in the middle. Make sure each meatballs are properly securing the meat, otherwise it will fall apart.
3. Coat each meatballs with flour. And then Fry it. After frying it for about 30 sec each side.
4. Bake it for 3 minutes until cheese are starting to pop out of the meatballs. (if you use a freshly ground meat, it takes about 2 mins on each side and when you bake, it should be 3 mins.)
