A Light, Satisfying Indian Meal

After two hours of seminar, a newly met friend, Jenny, and I decided to take a walk while waiting for our next session. With the time available, we decided to take a snack at the nearest Indian restaurant. 

New Bombay just around the corner of HV Dela Costa in Makati was our stop. Having been exhausted, we truly enjoyed it's ambiance thus, we took the middle dining table of the resto. Most of the time, in a place like Makati, one would enjoy less crowded place like this. I will be one of the people who enjoys a quite place to eat. 

Being my first time, and not familiar with the dishes, my friend took care of our order and we agreed ordering a a light meal for the two of us. We ordered only one dish, Chicken Masala paired with naan.

Chicken Masala, which is new to my taste is terrific. At first glance, it looks like an orange version of chicken curry. With first taste, creamy, a little bit spicy and still creamy. The topped onion leaks and cheese added flavor to the stew.

On the menu, the naan was presented with different flavors but I was the one who requested it to be plain. Naan looks a bit like the bread used by Jesus during the last supper. It may look just a plain and simple bread but this seemed to be heavier than a cup of rice. 

This combination of food makes a great pair!

Pastas and Cakes Can Never Go Wrong

Before going to church, me and my friends agreed to meet for lunch. Reasonable enough since some of us will be coming from the office dissmissed at 1PM. Market Market is the meeting area near the church thus, we agreed to dine out at our fave resto Banapple. There are only two franchise we've tried so far. Banapple located at Ayala Triangle Gardens and Banapple Market Market. We've been here several times but and dining experience has never let us down

During lunch, expect the place to be full-packed of hungry munchers. Outside the store are two small lounge where you are given a number and you have to wait until a table is un-occupied for you. Thumbs down for the space. Both branches, Ayala Triangle and Market Market has very limited space that can only accommodate certain number. Renting out a more spacious area may be advisable. 

The Fries..







Unlike the regular fries ordered from fastfood restaurants, this one was seasoned with spices and comes with garlic cheese dip.

The Pasta

Trio of Sausage Fettuccine

Though it is said that their best seller is Baked Creamy Cheesy Penne, I would strongly recommend Trio of Sausage Fettuccine which is topped with  chorizo, garlic longganisa, and Hungarian sausage and cheesy, creamy sauce. 

The Entrees

Hickory Smoked Barbecued Country Ribs

Chicken Breast Parmigiano

  

Salpicao Rafael

 The cakes

Tiramisu

Banofee pie

 Don't ever leave the store without a taste of their delicious pies and cakes. 

The Sandwicheese

Crunchy Chicken Fillet and Bell Pepper Sandwich

A Trust Mistrusted - Bride For Rent Review

From Market Market Taguig to Glorietta Cinemas, we were a bit disappointed that the fourth day of Bride For Rent in the cinemas still shows long lines (and I mean looonnngg lines) and full-packed movie theaters. We ended up watching the film the next day at SM Megamall instead.

My initial impression of the movie would be romantic comedy. It turns out to be combination of romantic - comedy plus drama.
The story started with Rocco (Xian Lim) a playboy who does not believe in commitment, was indebted and needed the release of his trust fund to finance an advertising project and to pay a debt from the casino. Unfortunately, the said fund can only be released if this bachelor will get married hence, hired Rocky/Raquelita (Kim Chiu) to pose as bride. 
The plot heats up when the bogus wedding that they arranged was supplemented with true feelings of love.

Xian's character maybe a bit exaggerated at the start of the movie especially with the comedy part where he tends to put some extra effort to be funny but tended to be a great acting when it comes to drama and romance. 

Kim Chiu on the other hand was consistent with her acting to her past projects. Her acting on this film maybe 90% compared to her "My Binondo Girl" project. Hilarious but poised Kim Chiu did well on this movie. 

Though the finale was rushed. There should have been more spice during the forgiveness and courtship before real wedding took place. But all in all, the movie was well presented in a manner that touched every movie goer's heart to tears.
