Pasteleria La Nuova

La Nuova has been in San Antonio way for long as I can remember. When I was in high school I use to eat here with my mom after class with my siblings. I graduated college and I still eat there before picking up my younger brother and sister. 

The pita and pate is always part of the appetizer they serve!

Since my mom and I were waiting for the 2 kids, we had our afternoon snack! Spinach and mushroom in truffle oil! I highly recommend this! I have this thing with truffle on my food, I fell in love with it's distinct strong taste. This dish is perfect with bread! This is good or 2-3 persons! :) Well, depends who you're with! :))

Concorde! I can't stop myself from munching the meringue sticks! :)

If you're looking for an afternoon snack, spinach and mushroom in truffle oil will surely complete your afternoon! This Italian restaurant is a destination place if you are craving for good Italian food.

People's Palace

Are you craving for a modernized Thai experience:) People's Palace is very popular among the foreign crowd. Every time I visit this place, it is pack with caucasians and foreign asians! I am not surprise because this place has a good ambiance and offers excellent Thai dishes, of course, it comes with a price. 

Their Shrimp Pomelo Salad is different from the pomelo salad I've tasted from other Thai restaurants. This salad has a light coconut dressing!

Vegetable Spring rolls! When this was served to us, my first reaction was, "This is the prettiest thing I've ever seen!". This dish was presented beautifully! I love these rolls because it's very light, healthy and the fact that comes with two dips made this dish very worth it!

Pad Thai! :) This rice noodle completed my stay here in people's palace! I mean, who would go to a Thai restaurant and not order Pad Thai right?! :))

Mango Lassi! It is a mango yogurt shake! Very suitable for a hot day! :)

I was trying to find my old pictures when we first dine here as a family, but unfortunately I can't find them, next time I visit I'll show you some of their dishes like their fish cakes and curry! You will never go wrong with this restaurant, you just have to prepare your wallet for this unforgettable experience! 

Italiannis

Carpe Diem people! Carpe Diem! 

Italannis's Roka Salata! The serving is good for 2 persons! A very refreshing salad! :D

Salmon Capaccio! Raw salmon with spices, salt, pepper and pesto! I fell in love with this dish!

Seafood Cioppino! It's like seafood marinara. I'm not a fan of pastas that are very saucy, so this pasta suits me well. Very simple yet very delicious.

I highly recommend the Bistro card! Not only do they have vouchers for their appetizers worth 400 pesos, but the discounts that you'll be able to avail every time you visit will be very helpful! :D Good restaurants such as Frdiays, Watami, Krazy Garlic, Bulgogi Brothers and a lot more are some of the few restaurant that's part of the Bistro card! :D

Lantau Islands

To get to Lantau Island, you need to take a cable car from Hong Kong Islands, you can also take the bus if you want!

Amazing view from the cable car! :D

Lantau is known for their egg waffles! This moist, sweet delicacy will surely make me come back for more! :D

Squid balls in curry sauce! :D

Since we kept on buying, the vendor gave us moon cake! :)

I miss their egg waffles :( :)

Prêt A Manger

It's not a restaurant. It's like one of those tiny adorable shops you pass by in the MTR of Hongkong.  As simple as this place might look, the products here are actually quite expensive but totally worth it. :)

Yap we brought a lot! Healthy living ^^,

I love their juices! It's like Jamba Juice in a bottle! Their drinks comes with boosters like antioxidant and stuff. :)

Dinner time! :)

I hope someone will being this in The Philippines! I enjoyed everything! :)

McDonald's in Hong Kong!

Time to explore McDonalds outside The Philippines! It's really fun to see the different versions of Mcdonalds outside your home country! These are some of the dishes McDonalds offer in Hong Kong!

Honey Lemon Ice Tea. When they said tea, they really meant it! :)) This drink is very refreshing! I get to enjoy this drink throughout my HK stay. I order them everyday!!! :)) 

How I wish I get to taste these desserts but apparently they offer these ice cream on some part of HK only :( I never got the chance to taste them:( This will be on my number 1 list if I return to HK! :D

I don't know what they call this, i guess i'll be classifying this as a burrito since it has pita, rice, veggies and beef (they also offer chicken).

They use to serve this in The Philippines! I hope they'll put this back on the menu:( 

This is one of their rice meals! :)

 I know!!! They have broccoli! How awesome is that! :D

I guess this was the biggest surprise for me! Salad in McDonalds, who would have thought! :))

Curry for your shake shake fries! Amazing!

 This is actually delicious! It's a whole meal already! :)

One thing I've notice in McDonalds in HK is that, they don't have any spaghetti on their menu! I didn't get to take a picture of their hot soy milk, but it was also one of my favorites during my Mcdonalds adventure in HK :))

Chicken Charlie

I've been hearing this fast food chain around global city! I actually learned it from my officemate. :) Their food reminded me of bonchon! :)

This is the type of place you would go to if you're having your lunch break from work. :)

Random - Starbucks

Did you have this moment with your partner where you try to be really sweet then his or her reply will leave you disappointed afterwards?:)) Well, not really. :)

This is me trying to be a sweet girlfriend :)

He gets my cup, then starts to scribble.

This is what he wrote on my cup :|

I got disappointed of course then surprises me after :))

Surprise surprise! :D

Fely J's

This is one of the filipino restaurant that our family always goes to. Their dishes never fail to satisfy our tummies. This fine dining filipino restaurant offers quality and elegance in every dish that they serve. This restaurant have some twist to their dishes where they adapt some foreign taste.

Pako salad is my favorite salad, more than Caesar salad and Roka Salata! I'm not sure if people my generation is familiar with this, but pretty I'm sure their parents are! 

The classic tortang talong! Since I have a 10 year brother that's not adventurous with food like her older sisters, this dish is perfect for kids! :)

You'll find this dish interesting. This is actually their Legua dish. We are usually familiar with lengua in mushroom sauce, this however has it's own twist! This dish is was cooked in coconut milk with several spices. If you guys are familiar with beef rendang, that's exactly what it taste like! :D Pure genius! :)

Deep fried catfish with "Buro" as its sauce. Buro is like a shimp paste but instead of shrimp it's rice. This sauce smells funky! :)) It took sometime before I get to love this sauce! :D

Sautéed vegetables! It's Abe's special! It comes with squash, camote leaves, chayotes shrimps and eggplant! :)

Fely J's is known for their Anchovy rice! Make sure not to leave this restaurant without ordering this!

Throughout the years Fly J's has shown its costumers outstanding consistency when it comes to quality! This place is perfect for meetings and dates.

Wee Nam Kee

This casual Hainanese chicken place can be anyone's comfort place. Nothing fancy, but they serve good soy and white chicken in this restaurant.

This refreshing drink is like a sizzle in your mouth, Cucumber Lime Fizz :)

This drink is very interesting and actually quite heavy, this made me feel fuller! But I love this barley experience more than the cucumber lime fizz.

Eggplant is one of my favorite vegetable, especially if you cook it with mince pork in oyster sauce!

This is your classic Mantao. It's a deep fried pao. :)

 Garlic spinach! Yum!

And for your dessert, Mango Sago Pudding! It has custard at the bottom with a gelatin finish on top :)

If you are a "soy chicken" person like me, and you're looking for a restaurant that's very casual, Wee Nam Kee is the place to be :)
