It was one of those things. You are asked to suggest a venue for a cozy VT dinner meet and you've tried almost all the Filipino restaurants in a specific area (in this case, SM Megamall)... What do you do? Google it, of course!!! I found C2 online and suggested that we meet there for a VTer balikbayan friend.
I am glad that we chose to meet there! C2 gives a modern twist to traditional Filipino dishes without sacrificing flavor and presentation. The crew is very helpful without being pushy and are genuinely concerned with the guests' comfort and needs.
Favorite Dish: I liked their Seared Tilapia with Coconut Emulsion to which we requested they add more chopped chilis. Their version of the diningding was really good! The others in the group loved the sauteed mungbean with crispy pork belly and fried fish on the side. The ginataang puso ng saging was flavorful. The clincher is their dessert, Durian Cream Brulee, which really made my night complete!!!

One thing I like about the Racks chain of restaurants is the service crew's fast, efficient service. From the time you arrive, you will be escorted to a seat at the restaurant which is totally a non-smoking area. Another plus factor for me is the availability of an in-house restroom. The diners don’t have to walk far to the mall’s public restrooms.
Favorite Dish: Racks is known for its grilled baby back ribs that “melt” in your mouth. It had proven itself in that department; their meats are really tender and their sauce is delicious. For our recent visit however, we tried to shy away from the meats, specifically our favorite Racks Baby Ribs for health reasons. I ordered Salad with Blackened Chicken Strips and hubby got Carbonara. We were both very satisfied with the food!

the most expensive beef cut known to man (but they serve the cheaper Australian Wagyu, not the Ultra Luxe Japanese Kobe!) Dinner here literally costs an arma and a leg for the average working class person.
Favorite Dish: the wagyu!

I was waiting for the rain to stop tonight (sept. 25 2009) and chanced to see a new food outlet near the Robinson's Galeria Grocery. The sign said elfav ice creamery (yup all in lower case). It was clean and styled like a typical soda fountain. There's a lot of comfortable seating and the decor consisted of a surf board, oars, lifepreserver and car plates. I also saw some power outlets, so i guess you can power up your laptop and go online while having a meal there. They had interesting selection of ice cream flavors (all made locally). They also serve $2 meals! The staff were nice and seem to know their products well which is nice.
Favorite Dish: 1. Wasabi ice cream which really tasted like wasabi! i just wish they put in more wasabi! but it was quite a treat all the same.
2. Choco chili icecream with its bits of chili which tickles the tongue with its bite. :)

Chef's Quarter is one of the newer restaurants that opened at the SM Megamall Atrium.
It has eclectic mix of international cuisine ranging from Japanese to Italian. The restaurant offers both buffet and ala carte dining. The crew are helpful and most knowledgeable about the dishes offered in the restaurant. The restroom is well-maintained and well-lit.
Favorite Dish: I liked their peppered steak, their Tessie Tomas salad (with smoked salmon and prawns) is really good! The tartness of their hot calamansi is a welcome soother to my sore throat. The fish and chips looked promising but i was too full after my steak that I had to reserve it for next time! ;) For dessert I had their blueberry cheese cake which is better that the other cheesecakes I had before. The contrast between the tart/sweetness of the blueberries and the richness of the cheesecake and whipped cream is very... how shall I put it?... Yummy! :)
The price is at par with other restaurants at its level.

Yummy frozen yogurt topped with whatever you want is top on my list of desserts!
Red Mango offers an endless permutation of dessert with yogurt as its main ingredient. You can have a dish of your choice for as low as P100.
My favorite is original yogurt topped with shaved almonds, muesli and bluberries! Very satisfying!
The store is very well appointed, the fixtures (tables, couches, etc.) not too crowded... giving it an illusion of roominess. The staff are very patient and accomodating.

We enjoyed our first visit @ Mega Mall though I'm very familiar with this place because of my visits to Japan.
バブルティーを気に入ってくれると！
There is real value for money...RJ has a big appetite and what we usually pay for in several thousands of Pesos in other Japanese restos, we paid only for more than 800 Pesos. Wow! Well, Karate Kid, Teriyaki Boy and Tokyo Tokyo are still a little cheaper, but hey, Bubble Tea is Bubble Tea!
The place has a warm and friendly atmosphere...the food is GREAT and the service is commendable!

The restaurant itself is unprepossessing except for the grinning giant styrofoam crocodile hanging from the ceiling! :D They serve Filipino food.
Favorite Dish: I liked their Croc's deviled crispy pata (deliciously spicy) and their pork sinigang. The Aligi pasta is also good.

They have one of the biggest selections of Italian wines in the Philippines. Also, They have a very wide selection of cold cuts, cheese and other high-end Italian products. If you like Italian food and recognize terrific value head over to Galileo Enoteca. all the food was good but I found the noodles a bit too al dente.
Favorite Dish: I love there Parmigianno and Grana Padano cheese! that make me back and back again

How can I describe Mandaluyong City?
VT really has to fix its links. Alabang (part of Muntinlupa City), Paranaque, Las Pinas and others are no longer parts of the Province of Rizal. They are now cities of the National Capital Region...
