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
