Top 4 Restaurants to Try this September 2019

So here's a little debut. Last February 2019, God blessed me with someone very special. His name is Ben. Good things do come to those who wait. All I can say is he is by far more than what I prayed for. 

We have so many things in common, and one of which is we love to eat. If you've been following my social media accounts, then you'd know that I am one of the boys when it comes to Good Food. So whether you're single and searching or in a relationship, here are our top recommendations (in no particular order) of restaurants where you can satisfy your gastronomic feat.  

OSTERIA DANIELE 
9th avenue corner 26th street Ground Level, Tower 1, High Street Corporate Plaza, Taguig

Bucatini alla Carbonara
Al Dente noodles and strong bacon flavor is a standout

Capellini Neri
Perfectly cooked seafood just complements the marinara sauce and squid ink pasta



The cathedral-type windows, high ceilings, and Mediterranean-type lamps just gives you a classical feel. You can be a modern day Prince and Princess in this kind of setting.

LAMPARA
5883 Enriquez, Poblacion, Makati City

Rice Cups
Bite sizes bursting with a concoction of Filipino flavors

Tofu
Mahu lovers are in for a treat---Pork Floss, Bacon Crisp & Black Vinegar combo

Dinuckdukan
A crowd pleaser. One of our personal favorite.  This Duck Sisig is something else.

Duck Leg
Certainly a featured dish of Lampara. Duck was perfectly cooked. 
Crispy on the outside and tender on the inside (falls off the bone actually)


Lampara is situated in the heart of Poblacion district--- second floor of an undistinguished apartment building (TIP: for first guests: call in advance to reserve and for location guidance as well).  The industrial interior paired with multi-colored furniture just enhances the dining experience.  This place is also walking distance to Agimat which can be a venue for your after-dinner drinks.   

CICCHETTI
8th Floor, MDI Corporate Center, 10th Avenue, 39th St, Taguig

For a more intimidate dinner date, a modern and romantically lit Cicchetti can be a good option. Drinks can also be enjoyed by the al fresco area with a view of BGC.

Bistecca Florentina
The dry-aged flavor stands out and the portion is generous enough vis-a-vis price.
We love our Steak to be done Medium

Porcini Spaghetti
Rich and Creamy truffle pasta that is at par with other Italian Restaurants

Carbonara
The star of the show, not because I'm a carbonara lover but because of its unique taste. 
The strong bacon flavor just adds a different twist to their version

M DINING
3/F, Alegria Alta Building, 2294 Chino Roces Ave, Makati City

This resto is the epitome of fine dining.  It's quite rare to find one with outstanding ambiance, food and a great wine selection (don’t forget to ask Sommelier Gigi Varua for the best wine pairing for the night).  

Lamb Chops, Pear Compote
One of the best lamb chops in the metro--Juicy, tender and perfectly seared.  
The lamb flavor just blends with the sweetness of the pear compote.

 Tagliolini, Vongole in Bianco
A good complement to a flavorful meat dish

And what's fine dining without a couple of glasses of wine



Hope you enjoyed this Food & Lifestyle Feature.
