A Touch of Swiss Please



so much chatter about this secret or hidden restaurant in antipolo with great food and a nice view. since I had to take out this client friend anyway, i decide to hit two birds with one stone.

Vieux Chalet was indeed hidden somewhere towards hinulugang tatak because the address read taktak road. i loved the area even from the driveway. the chalet was a vintage style house turned into a restaurant. i liked looking at all the little trinkets and the paintings were so personal and colorful. it was like one big sala that had windows that framed a beautiful am-out-of-the-city view add in the smell of fresh air with an it-just-rained ambience.

i did my homework before heading out to this place. and all of the blogs or sites say that you can't go wrong with your food order. i would have to agree. anything on the menu is good and organic using available ingredients from their garden. it can be a bit pricey though and i would confess I didn't bring enough that day which made me skip a glass of wine. Good thing though is that most of the dishes can be shared so roughly if you go there just bring about Php 1000. This will get you a solo dish plus an order of something you need to split and share and a must have glass of wine to go with the food and ambience. you need to try the carabao's milk icecream it was just rich and full of flavor.

my client friend, my paduan and my indian IT collegue enjoyed the vieux chalet experience.

i on the other hand...wanted to live there.

Going Korean for Dinner



decided to finaly try this korean restaurant that had a funny name.

since my friend S is into food trips as well, she agreed to come and figure out the menu that read mmmbops and sssmbops...or something like.

Kogi Bulgogi as the sign read is on the 2nd floor of the Eastwood Mall. their prices were unusually affordable.

they give you a range of appetizers here free of charge together with your dose of kimchi. it'll never be a korean resto if they don't serve such I guess. I got the beef wrap and some ramen. i totally forgot the name of what S ordered but it was one of those with the "bop" at the end and serves on a heated marble bowl.

verdict the "bop" dish turned out to be so delish and the ramen was well, nothing fancy. so I will make it a point to come back try out more of those "bop" dishes. great value too since it won't even be over the Php 300 mark together with drinks.
