Ye Dang

My friend Jen, another foodie and fellow schoolmate from the International School of Culinary Arts and Hotel Management ,   has been raving about Ye Dang , this inconspicous Korean restaurant beside Metrowalk for quite sometime now  and today, we had that opportunity of eating lunch there  with another friend,  who unlike us,  is a Korean food newbie ( after our meal, he said he has been "kimchified" ).

The place was full of Koreans so it must really be good.

Jen did the ordering for us. We ordered the grilled chicken , bibimpap, tofu and vegetable soup and spicy squid.  Then we were given the free appetizers.

free but yummy appetizers

The appetizers consisted of kimchi, sweet and spicy fish cake slices, sweet and spicy dilis, baby potatoes, pancakes, morning glory or something that looked like spinach and spicy radish.

We love these goodies in small plates, specially their kimchi and you can actually ask for a second bowl , the fish cake slices, the potatoes were so good, the dilis were crispy , even the pancakes were ok as well as the morning glory.

Our orders arrived....

Tofu with Clams Soup

I love this soup! You can request if the dishes will really be spicy or just mild and we picked mild for all the dishes. I liked that they serve it really hot, almost boiling hot and the tofu was so soft and it had clams and veggies too.. A must order dish and if you like a lot of heat, you can get the spicy version.

Bibimbap

We Ye Dang first timers, that means me and Pao enjoyed their version of the bibimbap. We finished it until the last grain. Great job Jen! You sure know your favorites by now.

Spicy Squid

The spicy squid was the best and the most tender I've had. And they served it with tender leafy vegetables and carrots and the sauce was sweet and mildly spicy. The sauce was perfect with the bibimbap or even plain rice.

Grilled Chicken

The chicken was also good, fully cooked yet moist and tender.

Thank you Jen for bringing us to Ye Dang, I will defnitely go back and try their other dishes.

Buon Giorno!

Buon Giorno!  of Tagaytay has a new branch here at the Rockwell Business Center beside Medical City. Tried it last Saturday for an early lunch while waiting for the doctor.

I like the open kitchen...

We ordered the margherita pizza and the spinach ravioli with mushroom in pommodoro sauce.

margherita pizza P 265++ 

The pizza was really good. The crust was thin and crispy but it crumbles a bit.

Mushroom filled Spinach Ravioli in Pommodoro Sauce P302++

I really loved the ravioli even if the dough was a bit thick . It was filled with mushrooms and swimming in lycopene heaven.

nomnomnom...

You don't have to drive all the way to Tagaytay to enjoy Buon Giorno! Buon Appetito!

B & T Mexican Kitchen

There's a new Mexican joint that's creating buzz, B & T Mexican Kitchen. B & T which stands for Burritos and Tacos is located at the Sekai Center , Ortigas cor Madison, beside the North Greenhills gate. I heard from the grapevine that it's owned by one of the former partners of the other popular Mexican place hmmm...

We got the chicken chipotle quesadilla, sweet potato fries with ranch dressing and the horchata.

Chicken Chipotle Quesadillas - P310 /Sweet Potato Fries with Ranch dressing P115

I love the chicken quesadillas. One order is good for two since you get four huge slices. You choose between jalapeno and chipotle and we opted for chipotle.  The filling was your usual corn, bell peppers, tomatoes, onions, guacamole, cheese and generous chipotle chicken for that mild kick. It had the usual sour cream and salsa and the nice thing with B & T is the unlimited salsa! Free refills of their salsa which is good by the way. I love salsa! It's healthy and it balances the creaminess of the cheese and the sour cream.

The sweet potato fries on the other hand were the best!!! It's so good you won't miss your usual french fries. It was so crispy and coated with not sure,  if it's paprika or cumin. It was perfect with the ranch dressing.

The horchata is a very rich  drink made of cream, cinnamon and ground almonds. It's a bit heavy it can be your dessert.

I will definitely go back to B & T kitchen. I love the unlimited salsa and not to mention the ample parking space they have.
