BREAKFAST AT Tourné

Tourné by Chef Sandralyn
Location; Unit 5 and 6, The Fort Strip
7th Ave. cor. 26th St.
Bonifacio Global City
Tel: 555-0267

Mikah, whom I introduced in my previous blog has been my on-again-off-again gym mate buddy. Here we are on our post work-out meal just across Fitness First The Fort Strip; Tourné. This resto combines the intimacy of a neighborhood establishment with the quality of a semi-fine dining restaurant, an atmosphere that is approachable and distinctive yet unpretentious.

The mandatory FB check-in status. haha

I love breakfast food, I just don't love the look of my eyes vis-a-vis morning sunshine.

American Breakfast ( French Toast with Maple Syrup along  with Sweet & Spicy Bacon and Sunny Side-up Eggs)

Until our next bibo adventure foodies,

BREAKFAST AT CONTIS

Conti's Bakeshop & Restaurant

Location; Serendra
1C-17 Serendra, McKinley ParkwayFort Bonifacio, Taguig(02) 856-2352

My gym-mate sweethearts and former colleagues (MIS's Team Managers) Rose and Micah on our post work-out foodtrip.

Conti's has always been crowded in the afternoon, but when you have your seat you will think that all that waiting was worth it. There was even a time when I visited the place and made me so pissed off because it took them 20minutes before the waiter asked for my order. But of course their cakes and meals are to die for. So it's worth coming back and worth enduring the long wait even if the server to guest ratio wasn't planned well.

I'm glad that on this visit we made it for breakfast.

Done with our after shift work out and excited for our post work-out meal.

Ready when you are!

Rose just had an intense cardio work-out and she deserved a full breakfast meal (but still healthy) her choice; Grilled Salmon HeadServed with vegetable roll and Japanese fried rice or with steamed rice 245.00

Mikah opted for a healthy breakfast. Her pick; Linguine in Pesto Sauce with Seafood @ 295.00

Bibo's Choices:  Mango Royale SaladIceberg lettuce with fresh mango cubes tossed with their special house dressing (solo serving @ PhP90.000
Chicken Salad SandwichChunks of chicken breast with salad dressing on white toast. Served with potato chips. 105.00
&

Mango Bravo - FrozenLayers of crunchy wafers filled with chocolate mousse, cream and mango cubes 145.00

Good thing we were there around 10am so we didn't have to wait. We were given a full attention. I usually order Beef Salpicao if it's for lunch or dinner and since it's for breakfast, bravo for Mango Bravo.

All in all, Good Service, above average food... excellent Mango Bravo!

Until then,
Bibo

Taste of Japan: JIPAN

Location: SM Megamall
EDSA corner Julia Vargas Ave., Mandaluyong
Metro Manila, Philippines

I LOVE this place! I usually like small Japanese restaurant with a variety of choices. More like a zen-type of setting.

It is always a combo of Seafood Ramen and Gyoza on the side everytime I visit Jipan in SM Megamall. This is my go-to place every after work out at Fitness First SM Megamall on a weekend.

another visit, having the same set of order;

Seafood RamenShoyu broth, squid, shrimp, fish cake, kani, slow poached egg @295.00

Gyoza; Choice of pork or vegetable @185.00

To top it all off; they don't impose service charge and they have a very accommodating and welcoming employees.

Go check it out.

Until out next food trip adventure,

A Healthy Gem at the CORNER of the City

A place to make you feel good after the holiday (aka FAT season).

CORNER TREE HOUSE

Location: 150 Jupiter Street, Bel-Air, Makati City, Metro Manila

The home of comfort vegetarian food in Manila. They serve food from Asia to Africa, Europe, the Middle East and the Americas in a cosy intimate setting. They also offer good wines, local beers and some house cocktails. You don’t have to be a vegetarian to enjoy their delicious food. In fact I am one omnivores, but vegetarians (like Hazel) will feel right at home here (they also serve some vegan and gluten-free dishes).
