Ristorante Italiano Capricciosa

Tuesday, February 12th, 2008

capricciosa Menu

When I looked at the menu, my eyes would naturally wander at the food prices.  And so, when I saw the prices, my eyes grew bigger because I was surprised that this was kinda pricey for Italian dining…I think the server knew immediately what I was already thinking and so, he explained that their servings were good for 2-3 persons (w/c was also explained on the cover of the menu, just shows that I don’t read the cover).  Oh!  So, that’s the reason for the price! I suddenly remembered a similar set-up that we have yet to write a post…another blog entry!

Kiong Hee! Kiong Hee Huat Tsai!

Thursday, February 7th, 2008

Our way of greeting you Kiong Hee Huat Tsai!
World Trade Tower View of Manila-7
We let AD wear this today to scare the dragons away :)  And he gladly wore this when we joined Binondo’s Chinese New Year Celebration.  This was also our way to easily identify him in the crowd whenever he runs away from us. 

Greetings to you from our family!

 We wish you good health, lasting happiness and bountiful wealth to enjoy! 

I just want to share with you an email I got from a friend for this YEAR OF THE RAT.  You may or may not believe in this but it doesn’t hurt to share it with you.  Feel free to check it out…

Chinatown’s Crepe de Chine

Wednesday, February 6th, 2008

Chinese New Year doesn’t mean you have to eat every hour of the day so you can have bountiful food blessings on your table the whole year round doesn’t it? But that was just what we did! Oh my, oh my! What a shameless admission! No wonder, I can’t still fit into my size 2 pants (Dream on, Mrs. OAP!) hahaha…But who can resist not eating good food? Raise your hands…Ok, I’m guilty! Well, it’s just so hard to stop oneself when faced with such irresistably looking food.

It started when we joined (again!) IvanManDy’s Woking Food Tour

Binondo Dragon Cafe Mez & Dong Bei

We watched the dragon dance as it passedby the Plaza. We went and swiped off the fried brown rice and hot clear fishball soup at Cafe Mezzanine. Next stop was one of our favorite dumpling place, the Dong Bei. They do offer frozen dumplings for take home at 30 pcs for only P200! The fried ones are 3-4 pcs for P100. I think they also have buy 3 or 5 and take 1 free! Cool!

And then, we ended the day with this food feast…
