It’s been a year since we started our
#MarriageFirstFriday and I’m so overwhelmed whenever our friends told us that
they are impressed and happy at the same time on how we value our marriage. So
whenever my officemates try to invite me for lunch during Fridays, they will
automatically say “Hindi pwede yan at may date yan..” Haha. Yes! Hindi pwedeng hindi kami mag lunch out
during Friday (except every 1st Friday of the month as I join the
first Friday mass here at the office), our one-hour break is not enough to
catch up everything but it’s okay at least we have one-hour to be each
other na parang mag bf/gf lang db, Ika
nga nila “Okay na yun, kesa wala”. But you know what I’m so kilig parin every
time my husband will asked me “San tayo mag lunch?”.”Daanan kita later dyan”,
ang babaw db pero I appreciate his effort.
During our break, we still discussed about our
children, our dreams, future plans and sometimes work related, but what I like
most is that we were able to eat well without any interruptions (we can’t hear
the word, ‘Mommy, I want that”, “Daddy, hulog”, etc..) If you’re a parents na,
you will understand us on how hard to put the kids in place during meal time,
although ChingChing can now eat on her own and Rhaine can also be able to eat
on her own with so many kalat nga lang sa table, we still need to supervise
them and check from time to time if they were able to eat properly.
It doesn’t mean that during our
#MarriageFirstFriday we eat in expensive restaurant, maniwala kayo or hindi, sometimes
we just go in the building canteen for our “Turo-Turo” lunch meal. #TipidTipidRinPagPayTime. So let me share with
you some of the must-try restaurants near our office building.
Photos were taken using my new Smart Phone,
“VIVO” (this is my husband surprised Christmas and Birthday gift for me) and "Samsung Edge 6" of my husband.
Gringo Restaurant
The term “Gringo” is mainly used in Latin
America which refers to foreigner. Luckily we were able to get a table during
lunch after 10 minutes of waiting. I have no idea about their menu since first
time kong kakain dito, so I asked my husband to just order my food for me.
He ordered South Chicken Quarter with Side dish
to choose from. My husband chose Southern Spice Chicken with Mexican Rice and
Mashed Camote while he ordered Southern Spice Chicken with Mexican Rice and
Buttered Corn for me.

Picnic
Like what I
told you, no need to eat for expensive restaurant for a date. All you need is a
good reference on where to eat with delicious food and affordable prices. And
since magaling ata kami dyan mag asawa, we recently discover this ala “Sosyal na Food Court” near Rufino Bldg.
Yes! Sosyal na food court because of the ambiance and the stores inside, medyo
pricey and take note, they include 5% Service Charge on your bill. So kahit na
set meal lang inorder mo, expect na may kasamang SC yan.
Anyway, my
husband was not feeling last Friday and he wants something to comfort his
stomach and because he was craving for some ramen that time, he ordered Shin
Ramen. I ordered Pork Chop Rice kasi nag crave ako sa pork chop, yun lang yun.
Hihi. The food is so-so, no extra thing on the Pork Chop Rice, however for the
Shin Ramen, grabe super anghang nya pero masarap naman. So if you’re looking
for some comfort food na parang food court na medyo pricey, try Picnic. The
staffs are friendly and very accommodating.

We had our lunch here after our check-out at
Citadines. We have no idea about this resto but as a food lover, we opted to
try it so kahit medyo pricey, go lang kami.
This resto offers unli set meal for Php 599.00
per person. Unlimited rice, meat, shrimp, beef, 2 Korean Noodles, Drinks and
Melona Ice Cream. Wow! The food is so-so, meaning we were not impressed on the
taste, unlike in Bornga Korean
Restaurant na super yummy nung meat. Although it’s a bit pricey, okay narin
because of the Melona ice cream. Haha.

Hello Happiness!
This is super duper late post, as in last year pa sya. Well,
better late than never, right?! Anyway, perks of working at the heart of Ayala
is that you have lots of restaurant choices within the area. I’ve heard Relish
here in the office, madalas kasi dito kumain ang mga bossing kaya medyo
familiar sya but I have no idea about the food they offer.
A day before our 4th wedding anniversary getaway, my
husband decided to dine here for our #MarriageFirstFriday, para daw advance
anniversary celebration namin together. We came to this restaurant without any
reservation. The place is just 3 tumbling away from our office, as in sa likod
lang sya and the place is cozy, bright and has a nice ambiance. This cozy
bistro is the perfect place for intimate dinners.
The menu was quiet interesting and had a wide
variety of food to choose from. Pricing was relatively a bit high but I think
it is fairly priced with the generous servings they have. We asked for best seller
and surprisingly they offer us Baked Salmon and Relish Roasted Chicken. Wow!
This is also our 1st choice kaya eto nalang inorder namin.
I ordered for Relish Roasted Chicken which is marinated
in garlic cloves, oregano and infused with lemon. The meat is tender, tasty and perfectly
roasted. It’s really worth the wait. The plate comes with dripping sauce which
is served on the side. I also used hot sauce since mahilig rin ako sa spicy.
What I like about my order is the portions were generous and since gutom ako,
naubos sya lahat.

For my husband, he ordered Baked Salmon with
creamy and savory toppings. The plate also includes mayonnaise and fresh lemon.
According to my husband, the bland of the fish is really delicious, as in yun
daw ang the best baked salmon ever. O db. Hindi ko talaga makakalimutan yung
sinabi nyang yun.

| Baked Salmon Php 580.00 |
A little bit pricey but it’s worth it. The
prices are reasonable enough with the generous amount of serving and the taste,
promise ang sarap nya! Fast service, nice ambiance and very accommodating
staff.
