My goodness! It's Saturday again! This week passed by so quickly.
I've been so busy in the office, I didn't have time to update at all.
But last week was pretty eventful, indeed!
Last Sunday, I had my hair re-colored (I'm slightly a redhead now, yep, only slightly!), then two dinners. What?!! :P
Here's dinner number one at Pino, Malingap.
Carbonara with mushrooms (but this is a special request from Ate, because we weren't in the mood for the usual Sisig Carbonara). Yum!!!
Then, we went to Eastwood to meet with KB and Framie and Bernard, and also, to grab dinner number 2.
What was supposed to be a "salad dinner" (we already ate at Pino, remember?), turned out to be...
Caesar Salad. Ate's Favorite!
and... Shrimp Mango Quesadilla...
... and Chicken Finger BLT with Fries!
We couldn't help ourselves! Eating for five people again!
Then on Monday, we bought this cake - Conti's Strawberry Shortcake- for Dad for his birthday. It's our family's favorite.
Yun lang!
Friday was also fun, eating with friends at Pino, Jupiter. But that's for another post! :)
Til next time,

It's very rare that Ate Star, KB and I get to go out with just the three of us. You know, conflicting work skeds.
But each time we do, we make sure to spend it at a place we really, really like.
So last Tuesday, KB picked us up from the office (in the case of Ate Star, Megamall is her office! Ahaha!), we decided to eat at our old favorite -- Conti's.
We love Conti's because their food is simple -- nothing too pretentious-- and all very, very tasty. They also have a good mix of Pinoy and continental dishes.
We went to their Katipunan Extension branch, because we pass it by on our way home. I like this branch of Conti's a lot. The interiors are pretty, the place well-lit, and very, very spacious. The servers are all very friendly and attentive. The only problem we had was the parking space. But, we managed.
So, here's what we ordered:
Mango Royale Salad. Mangoes, chicken and Conti's special house dressing.
Entrees:
For Ate Star: American Grilled Ribs with Mashed Potato. Pork was super tender! :)
For KB: Chicken barbeque, with java rice and atchara. Classic kasi ang taste ni KB.
Me: Chicken Marsala. Chicken breast with mushrooms and creamy Marsala wine sauce. This is served with Russian potato salad and rice. Ang sarap nung sauce.
What's a meal at Conti's without their fabulous cakes, right?
A slice of Viennese Mocha Torte. Five-layered cake, like the choco-mocha version of Mango Bravo. Hehe! It's just quite difficult to describe! But it's yummy.
And!
Conti's newest: Tiramisu Cheesecake. You heard it right! Grabe. Separately, these two are already my favorites... but combined! Heaven!!
Great meal. Even more awesome dessert. And super fun conversations with my Ate and Kuya.
Syempre, we wouldn't forget about our parents. Strawberry Shortcake for them.
The cakes! I would stay here and never leave. Hehehe!
Until next time,
Binky
