faith, hope and glutony

It's really difficult to resist something gastronomically wicked after days of toxic work. It's a glorious reward that you can splurge yourself into, just ignore that damn bill for once. And since nagsasasawa na ko sa mga hindi makatotohanang pagkain sa 711 at McDo, kaya pinatulan ko na ang mga nakaka-akit-matang menu ng old spaghetti house sa baba.

It was a dinner-date with a dear friend Monyat, where we talked and talked about work, mediocrity of some people around and of course Croatian pornographic thoughts *wink*. I ordered Chicken Piccata w/ garlic spaghetti , Monyat had her fave pesto grilled chicken. But the finale was the bomb, "THE" faith-defying Classic Banana split (PhP 140 = US$ 3) you should try it, the ice cream was uber-delicious, creaminess to perfection. Gusto ko nga dilaan yung plate nung may natirang konti!

Then last saturday, I went out with another pal Garrett, together with some folks. Of course Jolibee (aka Mono-sodium Glutamate cooked in 101 ways) is out of the picture. So we walked to the farther end of greenbelt 3 and found these:


Chicken Milanese (PhP 390 = US$ 8.50) and the Tartuffo (PhP 360 = US$ 8 / slice tangina one slice lang yun) I don't know if (and I Hope) it was really delicious, because I might have been sub-consciously convincing myself that it was really good because it's freakin' expensive! Buti na lang may free bread plate that they constantly refill, it's perfect with olive oil, Italian vinaigrette and Parmesan cheese.

LDL... LDL... LDL...
yes, Low Density Lipoprotein ... I can even smell it whenever I fart! So I'm expecting a myocardial infarction anytime within the next two hours.
