My birthday lunch at Conti’s

14 August, 2007 (15:26) | Uncategorized | By: Arpee

Ah another year has been added to my age. Need not be so negative. A lot of things have happened and I am still reeling from the effects of my mother’s untimely demise in 2006, but life has to go on. Another year and I can no longer claim to be in the calendar. Perhaps when people say I’m too old, I can still claim to be within the lotto numbers. Conti’s is my current favorite restaurant (for a number of reasons, including their prices) and I decided to have a quiet lunch there with Noreen and her siblings (who were nice enough to bring food to my office for my coworkers). With the long queue at Conti’s, we took a little time for a photo op in the picturesque Bonifacio High Street.

Happy faces around happy food. Weng and Deng wait for their orders with great anticipation. I told them that the food at Conti’s was the best. Their smiles lingered even way after the meal.


Here’s the ribeye steak. This is actually half of an order. We got this only because the whole order was 240 grams and for one person this was rather large. The beef was medium rare and very juicy indeed.


The picture is not very clear but very delicious, I assure you. For health reasons, I chose to eat fish. This is Conti’s version of Fish and Chips. The honey mustard sauce complemented the fish wonderfully. Its wondrous juices squirted out the minute you stick your fork into it. Who says healthy can’t be delicious?

A Photo Op With Shrek

27 May, 2007 (15:01) | Uncategorized | By: Arpee

We went to see Pirates of the Caribbean at Greenbelt 3 last May 25 and to our delight we saw Shrek walking around the ticket counter. So we seized the moment and asked Shrek to pose with us and, though unogre-like, he happily obliged. Nice guy, that ogre. We’ll see Shrek 3 later this week. You should also try visiting the Trinoma cinemas too. The reverse waterfall is something to look forward to, but that’ll be at another post.

I know this is not so pinoy. I enjoyed our movie outing last Saturday so much that I decided to post the pictures. In my humble opinion, Ayala Cinemas still have the best theaters in town, rivaled only by the Powerplant Cinema.
