An afternoon at Estancia Mall, Capitol Commons

Jipan Cafe & Bakeshop
"JiPan first opened its doors June 3, 1992 with the sole purpose of providing customers with freshly baked, high quality Japanese style breads. Its Pioneer, Mrs. Hiroko Fijumura, brought her love for the craft of baking and food along with her when she moved to the Philippines from Japan. Realizing that there was a void of artisanal breads and pastries, she committed herself to developing and perfecting the recipes that have become part of so many families’ tables."

Coco Ichibanya
We are the #1 Japanese Curry House in the world! 
Serving you the best Curry at Estancia Mall and One Rockwell!
(Taken from their Facebook page.)

Spent one afternoon at Estancia Mall with my son.
Treated him to the "best curry" in town.
As we all know, he likes Japanese food,
Add "spicy" to Japanese food and he will love it!!!
Maybe one day, someday, I'll bring him to Japan
and dine at this Japanese Curry House.

Jipan  Cafe and Bakeshop was right across Coco Ichibanya.
I was in bread heaven and wanted to sample all the baked 
goodies in Jipan.  I had to control myself from buying more 
than what we need, or what we can consume.
I decided to get some donuts, a French baguette, a tuna turnover
and some Kouign-Amann.  Yummy!
If only I had some salted caramel ice cream at home,
then it would have been the perfect sweet ending.

Brickfire Oven Roasted Steaks & Chops

Brickfire Oven Roasted Steaks & Chops
Esteban Abada St., Loyola Heights, QC
***
***
Porterhouse Steak
Buffalo Wings
"Binalot" Adobo, Salsa, Rice & Egg
Sawsawan - Suka Kamatis Sibuyas ,,,
Hamburger (to go)
I have forgotten what kind of cake this is...
***
Son and I had early dinner here one rainy Sunday.

I just have to share this restaurant because it is
student-budget friendly, easy on the pocket, inexpensive,
affordable, reasonable, popularly priced.
Yet, they serve good quality, tasty, yummy 
oven-roasted steaks that my Son really enjoyed.
Their buffalo wings and dynamite rolls were a bit spicy
but not too spicy, which is good for me.
We were quite full, so we just had the burger
wrapped for the Hubby.

I have forgotten what kind of cake we had.
They probably have their cakes sourced out.
I don't remember if they even had a cake stand.

Anyway, this is a good place to have merienda,
since it is always crowded during lunch, or 
probably dinner during weekends.

Lucky Niku Kafe & My Thai, Eastwood Mall

Lucky Niku Kafe & My Thai
G/F Eastwood Mall, Quezon City
***
Charcoal for the Grill
Smokeless Grill
Pork Slices for grilling.
Almost done... well done!
Lettuce for wrapping the grilled pork.
***

***
We weren't famished enough to eat at a buffet.
So, we went to Lucky Niku for unlimited ssambap.
Since these two restaurants are sister companies, 
they allow cross-orders.
I got some Thai Fried Rice & Fried Spring Rolls
in My Thai.


It's a given that"unhealthy" foods are delicious.
Foods topped with extra cheese or bacon are on  
this list of heavenly foods.  So are those cooked 
in butter or braised in wine.
Grilled and fried foods are also on this yummy list.

Marina Oyster Seafood Grill

Marina OYSTER Seafood Grill
***
Oyster, all caps!!!
This is Hubby's go-to-place to eat oysters.
He adores these bivalve mollusks.
The Son wanted so much to eat this saltwater clam,
but one bad oyster gave him a horrible experience.

My Dad used to buy a whole sack of fresh oysters
from Farmers' Market every weekend.
Dad, Nanay and my two sisters would feast on
these oysters until they wipe out the entire sack.
I never really liked the slimy texture of oysters.
You can all have it to yourselves.
***

Marina serves Ilonggo specialty dishes and 
grilled seafood, plus other Filipino main 
entrees like Kare-kare, Sinigang, Sisig
and so many more. 
It has an extensive list of bar chow.
