Peanut Butter Company @ Regis Center

For those of you Peanut Butter lovers out there, this is your paradise. Every food they serve here is laced with peanut butter. Honestly I was not a fan of this idea at first. What kind of weirdo would put peanut butter on a spaghetti???!!! Well apparently, a creative one (lol). I tried their Classic Spaghetti and it was not bad at all. Tastes weird at first but it will grow on you. You might even love it. I think what makes their dishes really good and not bizarre is that they use quality peanut butter. So one afternoon some time last year Geraldine and I ate here since we already got tired of Bon Chon and McDo and KFC and Jollibee and Cafeteria food etc.

You might mistake the sauce on top of the burger patty as gravy but that is actually peanut butter. If you think it is crazy, say no more because it isn't! The PB actually goes well with the burger. The meat was also tender. It was nice. This is a CRAVE HIT but I think they can improve on the serving. I do not think too many people would pay 165pesos just to get one burger patty, a slice of cucumber and a slice of tomato. They would rather go to Jollibee. But then, PB Co is offering something unique so they can justify the price.

This was what I had that day: FISH! I think it was more sulit than Geraldine's food. I enjoyed my meal! I think the fish went well with the peanut butter dip. Definitely a CRAVE HIT! It was a simple dish made special by peanut butter. I really liked it :)
Fish n' Rice - Php135

I do not think anyone would argue with me when we say that this is a HIT. Even my friends in Ateneo love PB Co's Marshmallow Peanut Butter Sandwich. It has marshmallow cream and (of course) peanut butter inside. It kinda tastes like S'mores. Kids will love this too for sure!

The Flying Pig & BluFish @ Eastwood

A year ago, BluFish and The Flying Pig were like sister restaurants in Eastwood Mall. You can order from two restaurants in one table! Just like Teriyaki Boy-Sizzlin Pepper Steak and  Jack's Loft-Pho Hoa all in Eastwood. Fortunately, we were able to try the tandem restaurants before BluFish was replaced by The Red Crab.

This was what we ordered from The Flying Pig: their bestselling Cuchi Frito. The pig's skin was really crispy and the sauce was delicious, tasted like Mang Tomas. Beside the very unhealthy pig dish is a salad which I think Geraldine loved. For those who can still afford cholesterol in their bodies, try this out. It is a CRAVE HIT.

Because of our love of prawns we ordered this Indian dish, Grilled Prawns Tandoori. BluFish offers great tasting seafood dishes and this did not disappoint. The prawns are full of flavors and even the rice did justice to the whole tandoori experience. CRAVE HIT!

Overall, we enjoyed our dining experience in The Flying Pig and Blufish. We highly recommend that you visit these restaurants. The Flying Pig is in the same location in Eastwood with an edgier interior. I am not sure however if Blufish has other branches and where they are located.

Feel free to comment on your dining experience in these places as well.

Army Navy Burger + Burrito

Army Navy is a burger and burrito place that caused a hype for quite some time already. Most of you must have tried it by now but we just wanted to share our love for their burritos. 

Geraldine and I are not fans of spicy food. But Army Navy's burritos are sooooo good that we are willing to tolerate the pungency. Add the salsa, sour cream and squeeze lime on it and you get one hell of a burrito. We specially love the sour cream because it complements the food. So if some of you have not tried Army Navy yet, this is highly recommended! They also offer vegetarian burrito for Php165. What we always order is their Steak Burrito worth Php195, quite expensive but worth it! CRAVE HIT!!!

We are yet to try other stuff  in Army Navy. Once we do, we will share the experience with you. Don't hesitate to comment on this post about your Army Navy Crave Hit experience as well :)

My Thai Kitchen @ Eastwood

We had dinner in My Thai last Friday. Thanks to their very small space there were no more seats inside so we sat at Lucky Yakiniku Cafe. We were not so familiar with Thai food so we just ordered seafood.

We got only a bowl of shrimp fried rice. We thought that since we have noodles, one bowl would suffice. Nothing special here. Skip this and just get plain rice or something else.

I have always loved Pad Thai noodles most specially the ones with shrimp. Which is why I suggested to Geraldine to get this one because it should be good. However when we ate My Thai's Shrimp Pad Thai noodles, it was too sour. Prior to eating the dish I squeezed a little bit of lemon on it so I was disappointed to have it this sour because that little lemon juice should not make it THAT sour. Aside from that, it lacked flavor. So this is a MISS for us.

Despite the disappointing Shrimp Fried Rice and Shrimp Pad Thai Noodles we ordered something good. This squid is one of their bestsellers. It was like an appetizer. It was so nice inside the mouth because it had that melt in the mouth feel due to its softness. The sauce was not too spicy either. This is a HIT for us.

Iscreamist @ Teacher's Village

Iscreamist is a famous ice cream place in Teacher's Village. Every afternoon the place is jam packed with a lot of students from different schools. Only problem with them is that they have a very small space for so many customers. Their popularity is largely attributed to its famous dragon's breath. Smoke comes out of your mouth once you eat this because of the liquid nitrogen. Hence the name dragon's breath.

In the picture below, you can see their best selling Dragon's Breath S'mores. This is their biggest HIT. Just dip it in the cup (not too long because you might not be able to bite it anymore), eat it then be fascinated as smoke comes out of your mouth.

For me however I prefer their ice cream more. They have lots of flavours. My favorite is Nutella. Sadly, we do not have a picture but it is highly recommended. They use real Nutella (not Goya) for their ice cream.

Their Toasted Mallow ice cream was good but not something to look forward to. They have better flavors. Just skip this.

Here is a picture of Blueberry Cheesecake ice cream. It is also a HIT. You will be able to feel the blueberry bits in your mouth which makes the ice cream more "authentic".We do not even need to explain further. Iscreamist just makes delicious desserts. So for those who haven't tried it, it's a must!!!!
