Bonifacio Day was a busy one. It was not really planned, but hey, I had a good time. :)

First off, we were invited by our friend to play badminton. I actually didn't how to (and I was actually not sure if I could serve) but I had already played it before--not seriously of course. In the end, I was not able to play, but they did. And I thought I could only really play table tennis. :D

Sizzlin' Pepper Steak, and me. ;)

Since we got off the court quite early because of the unexpected number of people there, we, or rather they, decided to eat in Eastwood. They chose Sizzlin' Pepper Steak which was not yet open when we got there and waited for around 15 minutes.

I actually didn't expect it to be Japanese, but it was. Well, not really that Japanese because they didn't serve sushi and maki. Admit it! It doesn't really feel Japanese without them. :D

We were five in the group and four of us ordered Pork BBQ Pepper Rice while one friend ordered Gyuniku Beef Pepper Rice, I think.

<3 and the sauce in a half-open genie lamp. Hehe. :P

Ate Jesa and the 'Stop' sign. :D

After a couple of minutes waiting, they served our orders. Mine was already done but still sizzling, but when I looked at the boyfriend's plate, his pork wasn't yet done. He let it sizzle a bit more (though we really didn't have control on that because we couldn't stop it, could we? LOL.) Anyway, he didn't complain naman, so I guessed it was okay after that.

Pork BBQ Pepper Rice, P217 with iced tea, P195 per order

The taste was so-so. I didn't find anything special. It tasted liked BBQ. But of course, their sauce was supposed to have made the difference. It was how they differentiate anyway. But the thing was, the sauce tasted sweet, and y'know, I was never fond of sweet tastes on my dish, except maybe for sweet and sour. LOL. I should've chosen another one. But it was bearable for me, and I still enjoyed my food. :D

Verdict:

If you're craving for meat, Sizzlin' Pepper Steak is a go-to. It offers a nice ambience and comfy chairs. Plus, with just P200, you can already satisfy your meat craving and large appetite. :)

Ms. Polly's Specialty Cakes and Desserts

I read about several positive reviews for the cakes at Ms. Polly's (it has been awarded as one out of the twenty-four best desserts by Philippine Daily Inquirer anyway), so when Groupon Philippines featured this specialty cakes and desserts restaurant, I just have to grab one and try it out--for less! :)

And one day in May or early June, I had my chance to convince the boyfriend to go there after a not-so-homey meal at Good Earth Tea Room in Greenbelt 3 (I'll review this later, when I have the time, I guess!).

But no, we didn't go to Ms. Polly's in Greenbelt because there was no Ms. Polly's there. From Greenbelt, we went to Robinson's Galleria where the flagship store was located.

The deal from Groupon was for one slice of cake with a large drink. I chose the Cookie Dough Cheesecake and an Iced Latte.

Cookie Dough Cheesecake

Oh, isn't the cake an eyecandy? And it doesn't just stop there. I can say that the taste is not-your-average-type-of-cake.

It's sweet, but not too sweet as with the case that all you can taste is sugar. I'm a fan of sweets, but I don't like overly sweet stuff. Hehe. :) In addition, the cake is really moist. And that's what I like best. I really don't like cakes that are dry (you'll surely know one when it's dry) like the Oreo Cheesecake from Seattle's Best Coffee. LOL.

As for the Iced Latte, I actually forgot what flavor I ordered. They have plain Iced Latte if I remember correctly and other variations. But anyway, it still tastes like coffee. And I'm not a coffee fan. :D

The Boyfriend (with his statement shirt. LOL)

I actually have more food reviews to make, but it seems like I have no time to spare (or probably I'm just lazy) with the feasibility, case study and all. Whew. So, till next time. :)

P.S. The boyfriend brought his camera that day, so yey! for pictures. Hehe :D
