Cafe Monaco

Yesterday, my family and I went to the QC side for lunch and we were along Banawe Street when my dad decided to have lung at Liang Jia, which offers delicious and big servings of wonton noodles and their specialty, Taiwan style Beef Wonton Noodles! :) But by the time we got there, the restaurant was already full and since we were hungry and was not willing to wait, we decided to try a NEW restaurant just right beside it - Cafe Monaco! We consider it to be a new restaurant because, even though it has been in business for 11 years, this is the first time that we tried going in and eat there! :D My second older brother was the one who convinced my parents to try it out and gladly, they did :)

At first glance, I got the impression that the resto serves western foods because of its dim lighting and western layout BUT I was wrong! ~~, The restaurant serves a wide variety of Asian foods and mostly Korean foods. We did order quite a lot of foods and all I have to say that you must try Cafe Monaco's Halo-Halo and almost all the pictures I will be posting below. In terms of the price of the foods, they are quite reasonable, and if you are going to eat with 4 other people, you must at least have Php1200 with you :) The owner of the restaurant is Korean but she has been here in the Philippines for 14 years! :) I am running out of words to say but you must really try eating at Cafe Monaco! Okay? For now, I will let the pictures do their jobs! Enjoy!

BIG serving of California Roll (Php120)*

very MEATY Daing na Bangus (Php 200)*

YUMMY Beef Stew w/ Kimchi Rice (Php135) *

Not-so-yummy Spicy Squid (Php 120)

Omelette Rice (Php 110)

good-for-4 Halo-Halo (Php 140)*

*must-try ^^,

A small credit goes a long way. And that's what I have learned today, thanks to one of my professors who I am starting to like as a professor. I used to hate him/her very much but as of now, I am starting to understand and adapt to his/her teaching styles :D

I just got home from school and I am very hype! haha... Anyways, here is just a quick post! Today is the last day of World Food Expo or WOFEX so if you still want to go then hurry because you won't want to miss it! :) I went there last Thursday with my friends and we were very satisfied with what we have experienced. We learned a lot of things and got to talk to many people in the food industry. :) I also got the chance to finally eat a whole chicken chop, thanks to Big Daddy! Big Daddy is a small food stall located in Greenhills Theatre foodcourt , Alabang Town Center and Robinson's Place Galleria. I really love it because, it is Taiwan inspired, meaning, the way it was flavored and cooked is just the way the Taiwanese people do it and they totally got the flavor I miss! One of the famous Taiwan food stall that are selling chicken chops is located in Shilin Night Market in Taipei :) Every bite I made with Big Daddy chicken chop makes me reminisce of my travel in Taiwan and it makes me miss the place so much! :| BUT going back to WOFEX, you must try to go even if you just have 3 hours left for today. There are a lot opportunities or ideas that can help you in putting up your own business.. Oh! There is also one booth that is selling pasta noodle maker that costs Php 6000 for manual machine and Php 13500 for the one with a machine with it so that you won't have to make it manually all you have to do is push up and down buttons. It is made in Italy but are being sold by Taiwanese people, ironic right? :)) So hmm.. I guess I have made my point, go to WOFEX if you have time now, you won't regret it :)

While I am typing this post, I was or am browsing other sites and guess what I found?

I am sorry if its blur but just to sum up this post.. Cebu Pacific is offering their domestic and international flight tickets for only Php88 and Php 888 respectively.
