We had dinner at Aveneto. I was craving for some pizza, but had enough of pizza hut and yellow cab for the past week so this was a welcomed change.

As we enter the place, we could already smell the italian pizza and pasta that customers have learned to love from this place.

I just love their mozarella!

 Jamille is into potato stuff so we ordered their platter which included fries and their version of potato balls (together with chicken and crab sticks). And my hubby just have to have pizza. Too bad we couldn’t order pasta…coz that would be too much for us to eat already. We were all stuffed!

Just a little detail that caught my fancy is their ranch dressing. I had to like ask for 2 more servings of it! I’m just sooo into ranch dressings lately. Can you guys recommend a brand of ranch dressing and where I could buy it?

Definitely a hearty platter

good combination: great food + great company

Procedure:
Mix all ingredients
Enjoy eating them!

One of the perfect match for this is the Sarsi Light! It’s one of those sugar free softdrinks that almost has the same taste as the regular type.

I just discovered Crazy Crepes located at the 4th floor of The block (SM North) beside KFC. Their display actually caught my attention and made me linger more and check out the place:

I think this is great advertising since the customers actually get to know immediately what they’re actually ordering. (no more surprises and getting disappointed in the end!) It’s a great help in choosing what to order since you already know what to expect. You can also watch how they do their order so you’re sure about the freshness and quality of their products.

Bag of Beans.
For dine in, you actually go down to the garden at the left side of the shop

Their freshly baked bread with butter and jam goes well with the coffee.

We also had cheesecake.

So whenever I’m in Megamall and I’m craving for some Japanese, I usually consider Tokyo Teriyaki House. I just hope they’ll get their own space outside the food court! It just sometimes get a little too hard to get a vacant table!

One of my guilty pleasures during this time of the year is Chowking’s halo-halo! Mmmmm…

Almost everybody eating at the store was ordering halo-halo! I can’t blame them.

I also miss Digman’s …san pa ba may outlet nun?  I love Razon’s too!

Seafood Platter (includes shrimps, squid, fish fillet, crablets, clams, and tahong)

It’s just really great that they already have a branch at the Trinoma Mall so I wouldn’t have to troop to Greenhills just to take a taste of this yummy goodness. Well, at first I had a hard time trying to find where it is located. It turns out, you would have to go out and pass by the side of Trinoma in order to get there. It’s near the Krispy Kreme store which is actually still being constructed. If you’re familiar with the National Bookstore location, you can go down the escalator near it and exit the mall (near Bread Talk). Turn left when you exit and you’ll soon see the Conti’s.

I was surprised that despite having a hard time locating it, a lot already knows that they have a branch there since the place was packed and there were a lot of people waiting outside to get a seat. I thought it wasn’t a good time to dine at that moment and decided to forgo trying out the place. I guess the excitement built up more since it looks like a lot of people wants a taste of what they’re offering. I promised myself that I’ll be back!

Anyway, I was thinking of bringing my sweetie there but since I was at Trinoma today, I couldn’t pass up the opportunity anymore. It’s now or never.

As you enter, you’ll first see the take out counter and refrigerators which house tempting cakes. There are also some bread and pastries displayed nearby. To your right would be the dining area.

For sure I was ordering a Mango Bravo, but I had a hard time ordering a main entrée. Their recommended Baked Salmon (php 295) was a bit expensive for my budget at that time but would wish to try it out someday soon. The attendee recommended Beef Salpicao or the Chicken Roulade but I wasn’t up to it. I ended up ordering Chicken Marsala (Php 175) instead and of course the Mango Bravo(Php 95).

The Chicken Marsala (Php170) is breast chicken with mushroom in marsala wine sauce served with Russian Potato Salad and Buttered Corn Rice. I must say, even the rice was very tasty! I just find the breast chicken a little dry, but good thing the marsala sauce was so tasty you wouldn’t notice it too much.

The Russian potato salad was also surprisingly good. Well, I had my initial bias since food with weird color doesn’t look too palatable (just like this salad). Anyway, I enjoyed it and didn’t regret ordering it.

Then comes the Mango Bravo (Php 90). Oh wow! It was such a big slice! It had lots of layers that’s why. I loved it from the first bite. Now I understand why a lot have been raving about this cake. I’d probably buy a whole cake pretty soon.
