Soymaster Milk Drink - Delicioso

If you are looking for something that would perk up your day, this is the drink that would work wonders for you. I don't mind shelling out P  29.00 (at 7-11 FEU) whenever I crave for something that is of lesser guilt. :)

Dessert Affair at Gelatissimo

Thanks to our Trinoma tickets after watching UnOfficially Yours (the movie of JLC and Angel Locsin), we have ticket stubs for Buy 1 take 1 ice cream at Gelatissimo.

I'm just here to present the prices, I got a combination of Chocolate Sorbet and Chocolate Chip. Amazing. ^_^

They also offer cheesecakes and they currently bundle it with an offer that if you also order coffee, you'll pay for the coffee half the price. 

Latest Offer: Italianni's Something Old and Something New

For the First Quarter of 2012, Italianni's all-time favorites meet new flavors in their latest offering in their meal sets dubbed as "Something Old, Something New...A Perfect Pair for You." for 995.00 each which is good for 3-4 persons (but for our case who are always hungry, it was good for 2, me and my brother).

SET 1:

(TRIED THIS): Watermelon Shake, Spaghetti and Meatballs with Caricato Pizza

I would like to rate the spaghetti as 8/10, the sauce was okay, but I think the homemade meatballs disappointed me, it was too big that the flavor was... so-so. The Caricato Pizza was new on the menu and it was made in soft dough stuffed with mozzarella cheese and crowned with deep red, sweet-tangy cranberries, juicy chicken strips, sharp Gorgonzola bleu cheese, garlic sausage, bacon, bell peppers, and mushrooms, I would give it a 10, wash it away with watermelon shake (how I love watermelon!)

SET 2:

(HAVE NOT TRIED YET): Quattro Staggioni, Pasta Prima and Dalandan Juice

According to the printed menu of Italiannis, Quattro Staggioni is a pizza with pepperoni, mushrooms and artichokes, shrimp and black olives, and four kinds of cheese. Pasta Prima, the new addition to the menu is inspired by the Spanish rice dish paella, the creamy and velvety pasta dish combines marinara cream sauce, sautéed chicken, sausages, bell peppers, shiitake and button mushrooms, and cheddar cheese. Wash them with Dalandan Juice.

SET 3:





TRIED TODAY: Tropicale Pizza, Salmon Caviar Pasta and Lemonade

The pairing of Tropicale Pizza (pineapple, bacon, and mozzarella cheese) and the new Salmon Caviar Pasta was heaven. The linguini pasta is tossed in butter cream sauce and sautéed in brandy with smoked salmon bits and red and black caviar. I may sound bias but I would go back for this (kick) as I love white pasta (thumbs up).

Offers good until March 31 only. 



Must Try: Xin Tian Di Dimsum Buffet

I've been looking through different food blogs I follow (Purple Doll, Cafe Mobility and Food Porn Junkies) and all of them had something in common, they talked about a Dimsum Buffet at Xin Tian Di at Crowne Plaza, Galleria Manila.
The Dimsum buffet was priced at 1,188.00 (excluding drinks), for the blog author behind Food Porn Junkies, he had a privilege card that cuts the price in half. Sumi Go of the Purple Doll had vouchers from Deal Grocer. Both drowned their dimsum buffet adventure with tea.

How to order: A a checklist with 55 food items composed of steamed, pan-fried & deep-fried, noodles, congee and desserts would be given, do indicate the number for if you don't, they would just give you one.
Here is what to expect from Xin Tian Di as taken from Food Porn Junkies:

Steamed Crystal Prawn Hakao

Steamed Siomai and Pork Dumplings

Chilli Dumpling

 Wanton Soup with Roast Duck

Steamed Xiao Bao Long Shanghai Style

Steamed Seafood Dumplings in Superior Stock

Promo is good until March 12 only. Service charge still applies.I would update this post if offer has been extended.
