For Lunch
Coconut House
For lunch, my brother wanted to try this restaurant because it was featured by Cheche Lazaro and Korina Sanchez. My brother never fails to recommend a good restaurant so we gave it a try. Coconut House is located at Quezon memorial circle. The restaurant has 6 to 8 tables and well conceptualized. They have a shop inside the restaurant for the coconut by-products (lipsticks, flour, virgin coconut oil, accessories, wine etc.) it was amazing! For the food, we ordered a bit of everything. We tried the following:

Pancit Buko: this is a must try. It tastes really good. It has buko strips instead of the usual canton noodles. You’ll not know that it was buko strips until you had the after-taste of buko. Amazing!
Coco okoy: The usual okoy made of squash strips with a buko twist. This is also a must try.
For our main course, we tried their binalot style dishes:
Gatadobo: chicken and pork adobo with coconut milk. The taste? So..so..
Kalderetang dagat: Fish Caldereta. It’s like eating a glorified Century tuna mechado flavor
Hipon Puso: Crispy shrimp with puso ng saging in coconut milk. Well I thought the same dish at Jollijeep will taste much better than the one at Coconut House.
Laing BBQ: Laing is my favourite but I got disappointed. The BBQ is not tasty enough and the laing hmmm not so good.
We pay 1,100php for 6 persons. Not bad. I might go back to try the rest of their desserts and light snacks but not for lunch.
Snacks:
Coffee at Mocha Blends: We tried the Pavillion Cafe Mocha. Cheaper than their regular Mocha Blends Best. Nothing extra ordinary but from 1 to 5 (5 being the highest) I might give it a 1 because I wasn’t able to finish it. My buds for coffee can’t take it.
Floss, Croissant, and pizza slices from Bread Talk: two thumbs up! Yummy!
For Dinner:
Chicken All You Can at Max’s: I’m grateful that they have that promo again. I never had the chance to try it the first time they launch it. It was 199php from 6pm to 10pm. I suggest that you go there around 6pm so you can have time to relax every after serving so that you can exercise your gluttony haha! I was hoping that I can eat at least 5 pieces of chicken but I stopped on my 4th.
After that columnar epithelium blasting dinner, we watched Transformers.
Transformers at Greenbelt
I was able to watch the previous films and I’d say that the new Transformer film is just a so...so... nothing‘s new. Just like any other action film I’ve seen where the main character’s situation was redeemed towards the end of the film. Rosie Huntington-Whiteley (Victoria secret model) did a good job but I think she'll be better on the ramp than in the film, she is sexy, hot and all but Megan Fox will always be Megan Fox.
One fine weekend then back to work. =)
