Cara Mia's Gelato for a perfect sweet treat!

My appetite is kind of weird today.  It's raining and typhoon Juaning is just yet out of the Philippines and I'm craving for some ice cream.  A pint, a half gallon, in a cone or even Mamang Sorbetero's DIC would do.

I want some, please...

I'm sure DH won't give in to this request, but if he will, I'll make the most :) I will force him to buy me some gelato and to make it more fun, I'll have him try Amici Cara Mia's gelato cakes too since I love their gelato and cakes, they truly satisfy my sweet cravings.

What’s good about Cara Mia's gelatos, the prices are uber affordable for heavenly-tasting flavors. Plus they got awesome varieties for their gelato and cakes. For less than an hundred bux, you get your gelato topped with mix of fresh fruits or chocolates, wafers, broas and fully covered with either chocolate or caramel soup. The same goes for their gelato cakes.

My last visit in Amici - Mega Mall branch with friends, we had mango sans rival,  choco sans rival and choco tartufo (my favorite) which unfortunately I wasn’t able to take picture because it was gone in minutes.  Desserts gluttony, my friends said, is acceptable for the last flavor I recommended to them.

Soon I'll buy a box of their gelato cake and have a feast myself, sugar overload indeed. Hay, I can't wait :)

North Park Greenfield District is now open!

Just a couple of weeks ago, two of my bosses treated me for a dining experience at North Park’s newly opened branch in Greenfield District. The place is just near my work place so my colleagues are excited to frequent the place.

 My first time in North Park and an exclusive date with my boss Cham :)

I didn’t really order anything because I don’t know what North Park serves best; I just based my order on Cham’s recommendation, she also preferred to get the quick food from the NP’s menu.

I had Soy Sauce Chicken for myself while she got Nanking Beef. We enjoyed our lunch over sharing some recent office chika but my verdict for the food I had is like 6/10. I don’t know but I don’t really understand the taste of the chicken’s sauce or the soy sauce for that matter. It’s quite bland for me plus I’m expecting to have quite a good taste of marinated chicken but this one tastes bland too. Maybe it’s just me but I would still want to taste the usual North Park faves like the mami and dimsum which I told myself I should have ordered instead.

Well at least their dessert “Fresh Mango Tapioca” is great plus I had some bottomless hot tea :)

One thing I appreciated more about N.P from my first dining experience is the look and feel of the place - I like their interiors and furniture:). 

I will definitely visit the place again, and hopefully their service will improve by then, my second time at N.P was terrible in terms of service time and accuracy of food orders, a colleague even walked out when his food wasn't delivered for over 30 minutes. I guess the staff get overwhelmed with the number of guests they had that day, everyone seems to be so confused but I believe they know what to do next time.

Paella ala Filipina - Yum Pinoy style :)

One of Global Academy's respectable Chefs - Cheff Terrence Feraday cooked for us the best Paella I've ever tasted.  This flavor-rich Spanish origin cuisine featured our very own smoke fish or better known as "tinapa". I swear the tinapa add-ons gave the best gustatory in this Chef Terrence's signature dish - "Paella Ala Filipina".

 

The experience is winner! Especially to us who waited patiently. I was a bit shy to ask for more but didn't bother my shyness so I check if there's more and to my surprise, the server plate is empty. :)

yummy!
