RACKS

Whenever my boyfriend's family will eat out, RACKS is always in the list of our go-to place -especially their SM Mall of Asia branch since this is the nearest (and most ideal mall to go to most of the time) from their home. Usually when we are dining in, we are frequenting their Surf 'N' Turf family platter that can satisfy up  to 8-10 persons.

Just looking at these photos makes me crave for their Classic Pork Ribs - grilled to perfection and made even perfect when paired with their original barbeque sauce. ♥

The iScreamist

It has always been our barkada's plan to roam around the recently popularized area in Quezon City, the Maginhawa Street. We finally did but got a little time to stroll in the area so we hit a dessert bar instead. Its always a wise choice for us to follow our sweet tooth - talk about priorities! J

We ramble this interesting pocket place called "The IsCreamist" that is popular for their liquid nitrogen ice cream. It is a small ice cream store located at Magiting Street (near Maginhawa Street) that can just accommodate maximum of 15 diners at a time from 1:00pm - 10:00pm daily. 

The periodic table of frozen treats! ♥

Of course we tried the famous Dragon's Breath - which are usually small portion of snacks to be dipped into liquid nitrogen before being eaten which will cause you to breath smoke like dragon. Hence, the clever name. It was so fun to eat! J

Nutella Ice Cream! ♥

My ever favorite Pistachio Ice Cream! ♥

Overall, The iScreamist will give you a whole new way of experiencing an all time frozen favorite J

Big Chill

I have always been a hunter of quiet nooks out and around the metro. When I want to flee away from the hustle and bustle of life, my first go-to place would be a park. Little did I know, it is also possible to find a silent area inside a mall - just like Big Chill Gateway Mall branch. This particular branch of blended shake bar will give you an unobtrusive stay. One reason is it is located at the cinema area of the mall wherein people don't usually hang outside, instead they are just staying on the food court down below while waiting for their movie slot - this made me decide to frequent the place whenever I need a discreet surrounding. J

We ordered Mango Mania which is a refreshing (you knew it, yes) mango shake. It is best to be a dinner substitute if you want to skip any heavy meal at night plus it's made of fruit so you could acquire more of its benefits. J

Ristorante Bigoli

Lately, it has been a habit with my dear colleagues to frequent in nearby mall's food court - we are often sharing thoughts and talks in a dinner table after work. I must say it is a great way to bond together and strengthen your personal relationship with one another apart from being just fellow workers. :)

The latest table that we have invaded is Ristorante Bigoli - an Italian fast food restaurant (at their Trinoma branch). Although, this post will not be a food review or what since we purposely ate there just to try something new and I must admit that it is worth a try! Ristorante Bigoli's ambiance is in the middle of classy and old-fashioned - mainly because of the lighting used inside the place.
I love how the walls and tables are adorned with brick and stones in earth hues - BUT what I really love about this place is they are serving unlimited garlic bread which are really good! \(^_^)/

Spaghetti Al Pesto with Pepperoni Pizza - P150.00

Spaghetti Al Pesto with Italian Chicken - P190.00

Spaghetti Marinara with Italian Chicken - P170.00

Glad that we visit on a weekday when there are just few people at the place and we had a whole lot of time for our endless conversations! We will definitely visit again to try another item on their menu! :)
