Eat and Go

This batch of photos must've slipped through the cracks when I was posting all my Manila photos from Decemeber/January... While Jon and I were picking up our Imax Avatar tickets in Mega Mall, we stopped for a little bite. What else is new? We had only eaten breakfast and it was that awkward 3:30pm time where our stomachs were grumbling for some food. We landed at Eat and Go, a super fast-casual eatery that specializes in English pies. Jon got the steak + potato pie with pepper rice on the side and I got the salmon + spinach pie with marinara pasta on the side. Kind of a random place for us to stop and snack, but it filled the gap sufficiently. We ate and went at Eat and Go :)

The Kebab Factory

This weekend I visited 2 new places: SM Mega Mall [Atrium] and The Kebab Factory. I guess it's kind of a 2 in 1, because The Kebab Factory is in the Atrium section of Mega Mall. Jon and his sisters have been raving about the food here, so I decided it was time to drive Northward and get my eat on. The cuisine is a real medley of Mediterranean, Indian and Persian; it would be hard to not spot something from the menu that you recognize/want to try. Jon and I had the opposite problem - there were too many dishes we wanted to taste!

This casual dining eatery has more of a modern feel compared to other ethnic restaurants that can sometimes go overboard with the decor. I like how they kept it simple, making it easy to focus on the fine, fresh authentic ingredients used in the cooking. Just one suggestion: Open more Kebab Factories in the Makati area! :)

Matabal Dip

This went by fast, order more dips (hummus) if you're with more people.

Cheese Samosas

The cheese samosas are cheesy and delicious; dip it in the sweet chutney and you'll be back for more!

Paneer Kebab

Little mushrooms sandwiched in paneer cubes, you gotta try this if you're into cheese.

Shrimp Curry

The shrimp curry was mild and the sauce is perfect for mixing in your rice.

Chicken Tandoori
The chicken was so tender and flavorful, enough so that Jon and I went for the last piece at the same time. "No, you have it." "No babe, you can have it." We split it :)

Butter Rice

Goes with everything!

Yummmm

He's Happy!

Red Mango in Manila :)

Just when I was wanting a spoonful of fro-yo, Red Mango appeared outta nowhere! I had no idea they even had Red Mango in Asia - I've only had it in LA. (But it is a Korean company, so nvm) Jon and I were at Mega Mall when we spotted the yogurt chain that serves all-natural yogurt along with fresh fruit toppings and a few cereal-y & chocolate-y numbers thrown in as well. It's fun to get creative with your yogurt once in a while! Or, you can be like Jon and just get green tea ;) Their yogurt is really creamy and tart... Goooooo try it!
