Food Trip in Kapitolyo: Silantro Fil-Mex Cantina

Image
There are few good Mexican restaurants in Metro Manila. On top of my list for good Mexican food is Ristras. But after trying out the delicious Silantro Fil-Mex in Kapitolyo, I now have a new fave Mexican place. Why do I love this place? Chicken Cheese Quesadilla with Fries Delicious Food. From the cheesy and generous meat of the Nachos to the incredibly cheesy quesadilla, and the indescribable and delightful burrito, I am hands-down in heaven during the two hours of eating here.

Food Trip near UP Los BaƱos: Faustina's and Baan Thai

It is a given that near most university there would be a lot of great food places! I am so happy that (thanks to  +Foursquare ) we stumbled upon Faustina's near University of the Philippines Los BaƱos (UPLB). We were in the area last Saturday (February 22) during  +GDG Philippines  Campus Roadshow in UPLB. Faustina 's is a relatively small restaurant near UPLB. It serves pizza, pasta, and rice meals. I had pesto pasta (which is my fave pasta - if you've been reading my blog you would see that I keep on ordering this pasta),  +Wayne  and  +Jomar  had the pasta with shrimps, and  +Reymart  had the vegetarian pasta. For sharing, we had shrimp cheese pizza. My pesto pasta was delicious. We were all quiet when the food arrived enjoying ourselves with the particular pasta we ordered.

Food Trip in Kapitolyo: Poco Deli

I've been living near Kapitolyo for almost three months now. +Jomar  and I had been slowly exploring the food heaven it has to offer. Our trusted guide is our friend  +Mitch . She's been staying in Kapitolyo for some years now. I'll start sharing about my food exploration in the coming days so keep on reading! Poco Deli - Bacon Slab, Pasta, and Cake I've tried Poco Deli in Ayala Triangle first before being informed that the first branch was actually in Kapitolyo, Pasig. I had dinner with  +Jewel , and we discussed life, career, and love over our shared bacon slab and Aglio Olio Pasta. It was delicious!
