Veronidia's Choices

For wooden furnitures , you may want to see the items of Ms Veronidia Anacion!  she used to have a shop inside BF homes Las Pinas but she moved all her furniture to her beautiful house at Philam Life, Las Pinas.   She has sala sets, beautiful and handcrafted, cabinets, stools, storage stools, tables , antiques ,  console, vintage  jewelry boxes, and all things your house will need to be a home! these are pre-owned furnitures which have been restored, or repainted but of very good condition and one of a kind pieces!  the prices are really  surprisingly cheap!! If you are interested please contact me, I can hook you up with her!!! She also have miniatures, kid size love seats, chairs, tumba-tumba that your kids would love to have in their rooms. All made of Philippine hardwood or rose wood or Indonesian rose wood/oak wood (I think)... I got a Madura mirror at P3500 and a one of a kind stool (beautiful animal legs) at P1,300! I will be going to her place this weekend to check out some items!!



I will be on the look out for more bazaars and sale event this weekend , check out my blog once in a while.!

Well , now for more food/restaurants I frequent and love ;


Italianni's

No. 1 in my list will be Italianni's! I love italian foods and the place to eat them is at Italianni's...I never grow tired of their food, authentic Italian food made from very fresh ingredients. the sea food ciopino is to die for, and  the breads are really really delicious and freshly baked , complementing their pasta.  Their ribs and steak are also glorious ,the seafood are tasty , aromatic and just delicious! You may want to avail of their Bistro card, gives you 20% off on total food bill 9including at Fish and Co, Flapjacks, TGIF).....the coffee is also good and the desserts are to die for!! the panacota is really amazing!! But of course I used to really love the service but around 2 weeks ago i was really disappointed with the service we got from italianni's Alabang Town center!!

Cafe Breton

For mouthwatering crepes and coffees , try Cafe breton..I love this place and their food! The Gallettes are delicious , filling and just amazingly delicious!  Their hamburger will win over any burger house burgers! Soft, moist, fresh and what have you, plus it's really big! The ambiance is also cool ! We never get tired of the crepes , my kids love La Pinay with its oozing filling! try it , you will love it. They have Cafe Breton at West gate , one at MOA , one at Podium .....

Kanin Club

if you love good Filipino foods, reasonably priced, good ambiance , excellent service and unique and creative take on traditional Pinoy food, then Kanin Club is the place for you..I am a lover of Banana, all kinds and Kanin club has this banana dessert, nay , halo halo type which will make you come back for more!! Their Crispy Tadyang is unforgetable, they have delicious crispy dinuguan , callos, pinaupo or pinalipad na tilapia ha ha ha!! I forgot the exact name but simply delicious, home cooked food at amazingly low low prices!  Branches are at Westgate Alabang, Paseo de Sta Rosa....

Bagoong Club

Giving Kanin Club a run for its money is Bagoong Club, as the name suggest, they have bagoong for their "King" of foods!  The Krispy Binagoongan is simply enough to make your mouth water and your stomach growl for more! The bagoong done in diferent ways , the specialty is the sinful bagoong with taba ng talangka, grabe....But the one we can not forget is the Pastillas de Leche cake, you better try them, at Valle Verde Pasig and one in Tomas Morato I think!!

Tony Roma's

For ribs and steaks , we love going to Tony Roma's!  The taste is really really good, ingredients are top of the line and the serving is just gigantic! The fries , I love them, the side dishes , and the ribs, wow!!This is a favorite palce of my kids. If we are having a family dinner , Tony Roma's will be it, if you ask the kids!!  Try it , restaurants are located at Alabang Town center and the first restaurant is at Makati near Oakwood, the former Oakwood, i can't remember the current name, ha ha ha...All these talk on food has distracted me, i can't remember places , just the food!!! And we love the ambiance at Tony Roma's Makati

We also love their service!!!

House of Minis

For reasonably priced , old world ambiance , mouth-watering steaks that  gives more value to your money, try the house of mini's , for less than P500 , you get their steak set complete with appetizer,  bread and butter , soup , main course, dessert and coffee ! All the food I have tasted are great , the service is very and we just love the ambiance. So serene , old world , so homey  good !! Comforting! Their place at San Jacinto , Pasig  is the place to go for that ambiance but they have another resto at Greenhills!

 
Almon Marina

For fast food and yet Gourmet  ingredients and quality, I go to Almon Marina! This is a favorite lunch place for me and my family!  If I am alone in MOA , and I would like to eat gourmet food without busting my pocket, I eat at  Almon Marina!! Delicious fast ,hot and gourmet!! Love their food! My favorite here is the Pastalicious No. 1, 6" gourmet sandwich, pasta with bolognese or putanesca sauce and ice tea, at  165 pesos!!!  The gourmet sandwiches are also amazing filling and healthy!!
