A PLATEFUL OF GOODNESS @ Pepperplate

-
By: Joanna Kaye Remolar-Limjuco

After seemingly endless years of books, sweat, tears, and law, one of our most well-loved friends by God’s grace finally became a lawyer!! Welcome to the club, Atty. Aimee May Agbayani! (Personally, I think she’s one of the most-deserving persons to become a lawyer as she has integrity and fear of God – traits which are of utmost importance to the profession).

All these emotions couldn’t be contained and just needed to be vented out through chika and of course, a good hearty meal. Aimee, Teen, and I were coming from opposite directions. Where could we possibly meet up?

Aimee suggested Pepperplate – a quaint little resto located in front of Royal Mandaya Hotel. (I‘ve passed by it once and was immediately intrigued). The three of us were raring to go!

 
We’ve heard so much about their House Special – Baby Back Ribs, so we decided to try a half-rack of it. While waiting (for the ribs and for Teen), Aimee ordered a Vegetarian Salad (balance is the key ;p).


Now, don’t let the simple name fool you because the Salad was one of the yummiest Salads I have ever eaten!! (Take note, I’m not even a salad fan). Honey-sweet and super tasty, Aimee and I wolfed it down and were very much tempted not to leave anything for Teen. Only sheer conscience restrained us from finishing it all! Non-salad lovers, this may just convert you to the good side!


As far as entrees go, the Salad was a bang and I was already impressed. And then all our orders arrived: Fish & Fries with 2 dips, it was  delicious and the white dip was my favourite; The Chicken was saucy and Teen said the sauce was grabe ma-effort which made their food different from other resto; and then of course, the Baby Back Ribs – a generous serving of a juicy rack of flavorful ribs!


 Perfect to pair with the yellow rice! Aimee, apparently running out of words to say, just said indescribable sa kalami!


We were so satisfied with our meal and so energized by our chika. And yet-one thing was still intriguing us on the menu --- Fried Oreo. How would that taste like? Well only one way to find out.



It was a twist on everyone’s favourite cookie, in ala mode style! Fried oreo was hot contrasted by the cold vanilla ice cream! Yummy!


Needless to say, we left the place with a full tummy and a happy smile on our faces. ☺

The Best Sisig in Davao is Hiding in a Karinderya

         (Hi! Its been a while since I wrote! But this food just inspired me again!)           One lunchtime my brother D brought some sisig wrapped in foil which he said he ordered somewhere. The Husband and I tasted it and we found it to be sooo yummy! In fact, the yummiest sisig we had ever tasted! (And we’ve tasted a lot of sisigs) Bad thing that D only bought 1 order which wasn’t enough for us.           Little did I know that the Husband fell in love with the sisig. Immediately the next day, we went on a lunch date on a mission to find the source of this super yummy sisig. Did it come from a restaurant in mall?  Or in some pop-up-store by a starting chef? Or perhaps some high level cuisine from a hotel?...           I asked D and he said it was from a karinderya in Obrero.  Eh? Are you sure D? It didn’t look like and certainly didn’t taste like it came...

By: Joanna Kaye Remolar-Limjuco So, Beng is in town from the faraway land of Calinan :D which means its pigging out time! The 4 of us agreed to try the unli wings at Pyro. We agreed to meet for early dinner at 6 pm. I arrived the earliest (ahem) at 5:50 pm and checked out the place. Pyro is fairly small with 3 rows of tables, but the place was already jampacked!  I went inside and could not find any vacant seat. Talked to the waitress who told me I was number 2 in waiting. Sounds good to me and anyway, my friends weren’t here yet, so I waited outside. Walked around Mabini Commercial Complex, got updated on fb, checked my watch and it was already 6:30! Looked inside the resto.  All the people eating in Pyro seemed to be enjoying themselves with no signs of stopping.  Also, more customers were arriving, and the waiting list was up to #9. (I also noticed that most of them were younger than me ☹ but that’s another st...

The Food For Flu (Sitio Babak Korean Resto)

-

By: Joanna Kaye Remolar-Limjuco It’s the rainy season once again, and some of my friends have been getting a bad case of flu. I was starting to pride myself because I remained unaffected, when I woke up one morning with that cold sensation and scratchy throat. Help! The whole day I was bummed about my impending case of flu. The Husband fetched me from work and then we found ourselves in Dona Vicenta Road. Suddenly  we saw this restaurant: Ooooh! Interesting. I SCREECHED for The Husband to immediately stop the car so I could get a better look. There were 2 things that caught my eye: First, there were 2 old Korean gentlemen eating, and whenever elder gentlemen eat in a Korean resto it gives me the impression that the food is “authentic” and not “pabebe.” Second, there was a big sign that read: Kimbap @ 100 Php only. This is it, pancit! The Husband and I sat ourselves down the resto. Immediately, we were given the menu. Though it was quite early (before...
