Bistro Ravioli...

One of the things that I like about Gerard is that he loves italian cuisine. He’s not the typical guy who would always prefer rice meals… he always likes to eat pizza and pasta…

So last Saturday, during our weekly date, we went to SM Mall of Asia and tried out an Italian Restaurant… Bistro Ravioli… J



The place is very clean and simple. There are no elaborate decorations. The tables and chairs are clean and white, wall designs are very minimal, and the table setting is very basic. The place gives a fresh and relaxing
ambiance. So this allows you to focus mainly on the food and not on anything else. It is also not too crowded nor too deserted.

Ok now, enough about the place… let’s go to their food…

The restaurant is proud of their fresh, hand-pulled pastas, just like the traditional Italian way. Their pizzas are also oven-baked in a brick oven.

To start off, we wanted to order the Pizza Frita with Boursin cheese dip, unfortunately the cheese dip was not available. But I can say we did not have any regrets on the Grilled Focaccia with Spinach dip… creamy spinach topped with a creamy layer of melted cheese. Absolutely delicious!

 For the main dish, we tried the Italian Sausage Ravioli in Romesco Sauce. What's the use of going to Bistro Ravioli if we won’t try their specialty right? Cream Cheese topping, yummy Italian sausage filling…

Besides, it is another great way to enjoy pasta since Ravioli is not usually served in most restaurants specially in a fast food or even a casual dining setting.

As for our pizza, we chose Quatro Formaggio pizza. The crust is thin and crispy and the size is 12 inches – perfect to share for 2-4 persons.

In general, the dishes we tried were sumptuous and filling. Moreover, their food are actually reasonably priced.       
Lastly, service was fast and the waiters are friendly.

So after all the good things I’ve said about Bistro Ravioli, it is truly worth to come back and try out their other dishes…

Pan-fried Dory with Lemon Butter Sauce

Image
Here's another recipe of my lovey hubby Gerard. I’m so sorry but we don't have the exact measurements of the ingredients. What you need: Cream Dory fish or any white fish fillet Salt Pepper Magic Sarap Dried basil leaves Flour Lemon juice or calamansi juice Butter Olive Oil Fresh parsley for garnishing What to do:   Make sure your fish fillet is thawed (if using frozen) and the skin surface is dry. You can use a paper towel to dab the fish. Season fish with salt, pepper, magic sarap and dried basil. Note: we used freshly cracked sea salt* and pepper because we think that it gives more flavor. But I guess, normal salt and pepper will do. Magic sarap and dried basil will give an extra flavor and a hint of herb taste. Then brush the seasoned fish with flour. Make sure to put just enough flour. Brush off the excess. In a frying pan, melt the butter together with the olive oil in medium heat. Once brown, fry the fish fillet for 1-2 minutes each side or unt

Wee Nam Kee -- a taste of Singaporean Cuisine

Image
My brother in-law would like his dad to have a taste of authentic Singaporean food… and of course the first thing that comes to our mind when we talk about Singaporean Food is no other than “Hainanese Chicken Rice”… Though Hainanese Chicken Rice originated from Hainan, China, it has now also found its home in Singapore as their national dish due to immigration. It is also known as Singaporean Chicken Rice it is served either steamed or roasted. Fortunately, we now have Wee Nam Kee restaurant here in the Philippines. They actually opened late last year and I have read several blogs about it. Wee Nam Kee has made its name originally in Singapore as a top contender for serving the best Hainanese chicken rice alongside Boon Tong Kee and Tian Tian. As I have read in one of the blogs, all their ingredients are sourced locally.  Their secret is that the chickens are freshly delivered everyday from 3 small farm suppliers that alternate delivery. They are chilled -- not frozen. Now

Not so typical valentines speech

Image
This is one of the toastmaster speech I delivered a few days before Valentine's day last year. ========== Good afternoon.   February 14 is a red-letter day for many people. This is the day most people look forward to, especially for the lovers.   But for me, this is just an ordinary day, nothing special,   for I   do not believe in celebrating Valentine’s Day. In fact,   I feel awkward to stand in front of you   to deliver a valentine’s speech.   Yes, you guess it right – I am the   scrooge of Valentines.   But before you raise your eyebrows and give me a piercing look, allow me to state my reasons … First, for me, the origins of Valentines day is not clear. The holiday appears to be   named after two      early Christian martyrs named Valentine of Rome and Valentine of Terni. Valentine of Rome [9] was a priest in Rome while Valentine of Terni became bishop of Interamna   and both were martyred and buried on the Via Flaminia . In the 1969 revision of the Roman Catholic Calenda
