My Friday Banchetto Meal

Image
Last time we ate at Banchetto, I opt to order pasta and I may say, it's the best meal I've ever had on a Friday Banchetto Night. It comprises of a whole Chicken Leg and Carbonara and what's best about it is that it only cost me a hundred bucks!!! It's so tasty and very affordable huh. This is the first time I had a Banchetto meal without a rice but since the serving size of the pasta meal itself is so generous... I easily became full. I just love it! I can't wait for the next Banchetto Friday when I can again grab a piece of the tasty chicken and of course the super yummy Carbonary.

Something Fishy Talaga

Last week week we had our breakfast @ Something Fishy Eastwood Libis. After our night shift - we decided to splurge thru their "eat all you can breakfast buffet" for only P120 pesos! The first time I heard about it, I really told myself I should try that once and since I was'nt able to enjoy the "eat all you can buffet" @ my brother's wedding @ Dads SM Megamall - I asked my friends to go try eating breakfast @ Something Fishy nga. Though it's kind'a raining and it's very hard to get a cab - we still made it to the place. Thru my excitement, right after the waitress found a table for 11 people - I hurriedly took a plate I almost fell coz of their slippery floor. Thank God I was able to manage my balance. To my dismay, I really did'nt want what I tasted. The adobo is sooo greasy you will feel you're sipping a bottle of cooking oil - the tapa is not that palatable soft and the pancake is hard you would exchange it for a hot pandesal instead.
