Atsu Atsu Ramen.=)

Our dinner at Atsu Atsu Ramen was Mimi's treat from her last sweldo.It's sad, I know cos going back on her working days, all for me was free..haha! Anyways, It's surprising how a lot of customers dig and stop by AAR from it's location. You'll know it when you get there. AAR is just a small ramen restaurant at Quezon City and choices are limited too..

We had this meal for two consisting of: Tokyo Ramen - This is the first time I tasted Ramen so I don't know if this is the best or its just how all ramen really tastes.And if that is the case, then I'm a new found Ramen fan! This big bowl is good for 2-3 persons and we almost emptied it in no time!It's best to eat ramen during dinner cos it's coooOOoold!

4 pcs Fish Fillet- love their tender and tasty fillets but I just noticed they're not much good in mixing their sauce.
DSC_5216
2 Mini Salads - A simple salad with a splendid dressing!
DSC_5208
2 Garlic Rice
DSC_5215
4 pcs Gyoza
DSC_5211
Iced Tea - almost close to water but it's ok.
DSC_5209
2 Coffee Jelly - Not a fan of coffee - based desserts but if I was,maybe I'd like it cos the taste of coffee here was prominent and strong
DSC_5228
All of these for only P350 using our voucher. P450 on their regular price. Ordered their 6 pcs california Maki (P150) - You already know what a Sushi lover would write here.=)

It was already 9:00 pm when we got there and the other customers were almost done and left in a few minutes. The place was quite small and the waitresses were looking at us while eating.It's a bit awkward but I do understand that they're just being attentive to what we might need. And still, they're on a dry run..not bad service at all for a starter!
DSC_5234
Even a bite of fame is hard to get: AAR is offering an eat-all-you-can Ramen for P200!Beat this guy by eating 5 ramens in an hour and you'll have this spot at the restaurant.=p

Piadina Italiana

After a long travel from Residencia De Riego, we headed straight to Mimi's work place at Makati Med and had our Lunch at Piadina. The place was dull and I thought I have to dance before the waiter can notice we were there (considering that they only have 2 sets of customers that time).

We had Calzone set (P165) - Pasta of the day with a Big Calzone and Iced Tea. Would have liked their calzone medium sized but full of fillings..This one's made of air and some mushrooms,cheese,etc.
DSC_6726
Porkchop with Mushroom Rice (P165) - goes with Iced tea too..Mimi liked this but it's just fine with me.
DSC_6727
Well, we just tried to eat at something new. Piadina's worth a try but to come back again..I don't think so.

Tagaytay Trip: Army Navy + Yellow Cab

Army Navy is strictly on burgers and burrito. It's just a casual dining place where you can eat burgers with your bare hands and not get intimidated at all. The "Army Navy theme" is too catchy that's why a lot of customers get curious and invited to eat here.
DSC_5059
Transactions are made through this glass pane and the menu are posted in it plus, self-service as always.
DSC_5039
I so love this scooter!Never mind the models.=p

DSC_5044DSC_5045

The Freedom Fries (P60) - A bit spicy but I got hooked with this one.
DSC_5063
Steak Burrito (P160) + extra cheese (P30)- This is a very very wrong way to eat your burrito!haha! There's a poster on how to eat it but I didn't mind and so I ended up dissecting and eating it with spoon. I happily finished this with jalapeno and garlic sauce.=)
DSC_5070
Burger (P145) - Classic quarter- pounder.. This was Ate Mara's. She didn't enjoyed this much..
DSC_5075
Yellow cab always goes with Army Navy. We ate at 2nd floor which was Yellow Cab's. Charlie Chan Chicken Pasta (P235) - My co-trainees' favorite!Our Lunch was a blast of spiciness!Thank God I was able to tolerate it.=p

Twice-Baked Potato (P195) - Oven baked potatoes with sour cream sauce

Although this brunch left our pockets half-empty, It made our tummies happy and heavy!And it's fascinating when you're eating with a view like this.

Thank You Ate Mara and Jermax.Ang saya ng bonding natin!

Residencia de Riego Resort

Hi!Still alive from a very rough and tough travel but I really can't wait to share with you such a nice place.Well, not really perfect cos even the best has its own flaws.=) I'm talking about Residencia de Riego Resort in Batangas..Its 2-3 hours away from Manila but I swear, it'll give justice once you got there.=)
DSC_6587
A large wooden gate will open to welcome you and at the side is the Information where you can confirm your reservation and they'll give you the key to your room.

This cute dog will give you a welcome bark!arf!haha!

Our room is only the Kubo-type which will cost you P3000 originally but since we got in on cashcashpinoy, the price dropped to P900 only with a complimentary breakfast for two. The thing here is there's only a ceiling fan and a comfortable bed in a kubo and a cottage where you can eat or stay. It was nice naman and that would fit the P900 that we paid. A bit Pricey if rented for P3000.If you're worrying that insects and bugs would freely enter your room, stop cos there's none even at night.

The 3 pools are well-maintained and looks really inviting may it be day or night. I love its changing colors at night..Ambiance was super great because they had a nice sound system that keeps on playing music to soothe your mood.

They also have this creative mini bar with a barista performing all the time.haha!
DSC_4844
Their restaurant was classy,too and the food was also delicious..I just didn't like their version of Pansit Bihon. All listed in the menu is good for 2-3 persons already and its cheap that way.=)

Here's an advanced prep on our table.=)
DSC_4851
We had Carbonara (P150) for our merienda. Good for sharing, creamy and yummy!
DSC_4856
For Dinner: Pansit Bihon (P150) - bad choice from me.

And Lechon Kawali (P200)

Our free Breakfast is Pork Tapa, sunny sideup, fried rice, and free flowing kapeng barako.=)

We were the only visitors plus a group of 10, I think. So we were spoiled that day.=p

They also provide other activities like darts,billiards, basketball, etc.Just approach them on how to avail. We really liked the place and definitely would want to go back if given a chance. The place was peaceful and relaxing. Plus, safety is ensured because lifeguards are at post but not that intimidating.

I forgot to tell why we're here..It's Mimi's 22nd Birthday!

How to get there: Just ride Jam Buses (P162 fare) going to Lemery and tell them to drop you at Muzon. From there, ride a tricycle which would cost you P70..that's it!
