unexpectedly off track

This is the first entry and must be those that I will shake my head at when by December. I brought a pear and my own lunch to save money and myself from temptation. But the announcement that our salary is in,we just have to get out of the office and eat lunch somewhere...rewarding. 


Breakfast:

Al Fresco dining at The plantation (but we opted to stay indoors)

1/2 glass of C-lium (30 minutes prior)
Adelina's Ham and Queso de bola sandwich (white bread)


Lunch @ THE PLANTATION BAR + RESTO (C. Palanca St, Makati)
Pinoy Puttanesca (longganisa, tuyo, kesong puti, 1 cup pasta, and toasted foccacia bread)


The Plantation is those kinds of restos in Makati that makes Makati a foodie haven. The pasta was al dente and the tuyo replaced the anchovies but it didn't make the dish as salty. Longganisa was grilled perfectly and added that smoky flavor to the dish. I suggest more kesong puti, though. The garlic and pepper overpowered its flavored when it is not as strong to begin with.


Price range: 200-600 (exclusive of VAT)

Pinoy Puttanesca from The Plantation

Grilled Mediterranean Pork Chops. A good choice. 

Cajun Chicken Pasta which my officemate, Rei, commented was very good.

Peppersteak. I think the serving is too small. 

Dinner:
(using a small plate)
1/2 plate of Pansit Malabon
2 sticks of pork barbecue
2 pcs siomai
a slice of cake
Grande Breve Latte (Starbucks)
3/4 can of San Mig Light Beer


Pak! There goes everything. Our print producer is leaving and yesterday was his last day so the office had a small party or "salu-salo" at the conference room. They insisted I drink a beer to join in on the fun and partying. Coffee at starbucks was taken an hour after while waiting for our movie screening time. 


I had a loong session at the comfort room between my lunch and dinner meal and yet, after eating that much during the latter I feel heavy still. I was suppose to exercise at the gym but since I'm dressed up for a night-out, tomorrow will be a better day to burn all these calories and fat. :)




Looking forward to a thinner neck! 


au revoir.
