Review: Moxie's Grill & Bar, Richmond

By Celine -
It's Therese's birthday, and she always chooses a casual dining pub to have lunch or dinner with the family.
  • Three years ago (2016), we went to Cactus Club Cafe
  • Two years ago (2017), we went to Earls Kitchen + Bar Restaurants
  • Last year (2018), we had Romer's Burger Bar
  • This year (2019), we went to Moxie's Grill & Bar

Moxie's Grill & Bar

First, I love the service! Our server, Jessica, is friendly and she didn't hover around us as other waitresses do at other places.

Second, I like the ambiance. Since we went there on Saturday for lunch, it's practically empty except for two other tables. We had fun catching up. It's been a while (Christmas?) since we're all together sharing a meal. It's great to spend time together.

Lastly, the food is okay. I won't be coming back for the food, that's for sure. For appetizers, dad ordered Calamari and Tableside Fresh Smashed Guacamole which is amusing and fun to eat. Jessica smashed the avocado in front of us. It's an unexpected experience.

For the main course, dad and Alyanna ordered from the Brunch Menu, specifically Steak & Eggs and Classic Breakfast with Sausage, respectively. Therese and Jomar had a medium rare Sirloin with Stuffed Potato. Meanwhile, Hovey chose The Burger with Fries while I picked the Portobello Veggie Burger with Sweet Potato Fries. Lastly, mom got the Prawn Linguine pasta.

I didn't like the Veggie burger. I have tried the Veggie burger from Cactus Club, Earls, and Romer's Burger and this is the worse of the list. I didn't expect it to be just Portobello mushroom between buns. There are tomatoes and shredded lettuce in it as well, but it didn't elevate the dish. The cheese did help.

I also got to try Jomar's Sirloin and Stuffed Baked Potato. The Sirloin is excellent, though, I don't think I'm the best person to say that because I'm not a fan of steak. I did enjoy the Stuffed Baked Potato because it's almost impossible to ruin a potato.

There you have my review of Moxie's Grill and Bar. I can't wait to see where Therese would like to celebrate her future birthdays and her graduation.

How much does a wedding in Manila Cathedral cost?

By Celine -

Jomar and I will have our Philippine Catholic wedding in July. To enlighten those who want to have their Sacrament of Holy Matrimony in the beautiful and historic Manila Cathedral, I will share with you how much it cost. Why did we pick Manila Cathedral? I want to say that because it's historic and beautiful. But honestly, it's because Manila Cathedral has relevant information on their website for a couple like us living and already legally married abroad. Ms. Donna also responds to our emails and calls promptly. The bonus is it's historic and beautiful. According to one of my Ninang, " ang haba ng walk down the aisle mo ." I didn't think of that. I'm not sure if I like it. LOL. They also have a dashboard where you complete the forms, and it lists what you need to submit and when. It's pretty impressive. Wedding Preparation Step 1. Reserve a wedding date The first thing you do is go to their

Mangdang Gen San Experience!

It was my first time in Mindanao last weekend. I went to the Land of the Champions and Land of Tuna, General Santos City, Philippines. It was a fantastic experience! Day 1 - Magandang GenSan! Jomar, Mam Chelle, and I left Makati around 6:00 am for our flight at 7:20 am. After rushing through the airport and paying the terminal fee, the plane took off at around 7:45 and we arrived at the General Santos City International Airport at about 9:30 am. Upon deplaning, we met with Ms. Aileen and her son, Miggy, and Vincent. All of us rode the van waiting for us from the East Asia Royale Hotel. We left our things and rest for a while in our rooms. After a few minutes, we went to Ranchero's Grill and Restaurant for lunch.

How to quickly get the Sacrament of Confirmation in Manila?

By Celine -
Jomar and I have not yet received the Sacrament of Confirmation which is a requirement to receive the Sacrament of Holy Matrimony. At the recommendation of Manila Cathedral, we looked at both Quiapo Church and National Shrine of Saint Michael and the Archangels (NSSMA). We decided to go to NSSMA for confirmation the day after we arrived from Canada. What to prepare? Bring the original and a photocopy of your Baptismal Certificate Wear a white shirt with a collar Be ready to donate Php 650.00 Talk to friends to be your Ninong and Ninang (Godparents) and yes, you need a pair. What to expect? We arrived there at 7:30 am because jetlag is real and we were awake by 4:00 am. There were around 13 people waiting. At 7:45 am, the security guard started giving out forms which we had to complete. Then, at around 8:00 am, he started giving out numbers. Later on, they started giving both the form and number at the same time. The office opened shortly after 8:00 am. Confirmati
