Elbi Eats: Mi Bonitos Restaurant

Because the goal of this blog is really to make all of you hungryyyy. Hahaha. If the photos look familiar, that's because this was my birthday dinner. :D

This is a lazy post, so mostly just photos. In the words of Ayla, this is a Mema Monday: mema-post lang. Hahaha.

Let's get your stomach rumbling, shall we?

Bacon Croquettes
I couldn't really taste the bacon, but it's potato,
and potatoes are looove. 

Chili Wings.
My order! Yes, again. I have food loyalty. Haha.

Grilled Squid
I was surprised to find several small pieces of squid instead of a
single huge squid.

Grilled Tenderloin Steak

Everything On It Pizza
Talk about topping overload! It even has eggplant.

Buffalo Wings

Spaghetti with Meatballs
Last minute order, because no birthday dinner is complete
without noodlez. For long life. Except the noodles
were kinda short. Hahahaha!

That is all. Thank you. Bow. Goodbye. :D

Elbi Eats: Faustina's

Mom took me out for lunch at Faustina's today and fell in love the moment I laid eyes on the menu.

Elbi Eats: Bonitos' Chili Wings and Ristretto's Caramel Macchiato

I rarely eat out when I'm in Los Baños, because the best dining spot in town is still our kitchen. Hehehe.

Last week though, I was able to eat at Bonitos' for dinner with my three Manila boyzz. We shared a plate of sisig and ordered a combo meal each. I had the chili wings with rice.

Four chicken wings, nicely breaded, with a coat of chili sauce that was just spicy enough to tickle the palate of a hardcore chili fan (aka me) but not so much as to send me gagging and reaching for a glass of water. 

I ate three of the wings and gave the last one to A because I was already full. Worth the price at 130 bucks for the combo meal, which already came with a tall glass of lemonade. 

I haven't been to Bonitos for some time, so I was happily surprised that the place looked so nice and was already airconditioned! Prices remained the same though. Awesome.

Also, yesterday after Zumba class, I tried to do some studying at Ristretto (Vega Center, near UP Gate) and ordered an iced caramel macchiato.

Whoa. Can you believe all that caramel? 0_o 

So sinful, but it's one of the best caramel macchiatos I've tried. It costs less than a hundred bucks too, booyah. Too bad they're always filled with noisy college kids during the weekdays so I can't study there.

In other news, UPLB is getting ready for Christmas! I think the tree looks pretty even though it's still unfinished. Can't wait for the lights to be set up. Christmases here are very pretty. Photo's a little dark, taken at dusk.

I have to do more LB food tripping, because food here is good and cheap! Next week I promise to go to Moonleaf and try that mediterranean restaurant I read about in BeliZone.

 If you have food/ restaurant recommendations in the UPLB area, hit me up in the comments! If you are an elbi-based food blogger, drop a link. I'm just getting reacquainted with the gustatory delights my hometown has to offer and I'd love to hear/ read about your favorites. :)

Sorry for the crappy photo quality, I still can't find my camera charger hehehe so I've been using my phone to take snaps.

Boys' Night Out

I have always been one of they boys as long as I can remember.

Which isn't exactly good for the lovelife (instant friend zone!) but meant a lot of really good times. I swear, I have fun with my girlfriends watching chick flicks and having sleepovers, but with the boys I can be rowdy and crude and no one's going to tell me to please behave and that's the bomb.

Last night I had a boys night out with three of my guy friends from med school, and our activity was, tadaaaa... talking about deep and serious shit while having a few drinks and relaxing in a hot spring pool. Did I mention the pool was INSIDE our room?:P
