Bearer of good eats

Great food is only made with great equipment. I have experienced first-hand, how it is to work a professional kitchen, and it is only pleasurable when the equipment you use is efficient, durable and time-saving. That’s what Ariston and GE Monogram appliances are all about.

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 long stroll on High Street

There’s nothing like a stroll along Bonifacio High Street after a heavy meal. I remember the first time I went there: that was in November 2006 when Krispy Kreme first flashed the red neon sign in Manila. Back then there weren’t any shops except for Krispy Kreme and Time Zone. Now, High Street is filled with new shops and restaurants to appeal to any tired worker’s fancy. The place was so beautiful I just had to take a few pictures. You should come and visit it one of these days.
