Nature's Devastation

Nature's wrath left an awful horrible horrible feeling of desolation, isolation, desperation, cries for help for the destruction left by power super typhoon Yolanda (Typhoon Haiyan). It's heart wrenching to see dead people along the streets, to see them flee storm surge trying not to drown, livelihood gone, houses destroyed, children crying . It's awful. The powerful storm hit across the whole of the Vizayas and death toll could rise  10,000 in Leyte alone..and that's just one province.  It's really really grim.

In this time of calamity. Filipinos are pooling all their sources to help fellow countrymen. Aid Agencies from parts of the world helping..so thank you.

BRONUTS

*edit: So this was 2 weeks ago.. did not get to eat the sweet! Waaah!  Coughing and feeling bad with sore throat :(

Oh Holidays chomp chomp chomp! Yum yum!

Oh man, since the start of the 'ber' months  last week all I've been doing is chomp chomp chomp. I'm bloated! Went to IHOP few days ago and ordered hearty ham omelette plus double pancake strawberry. So Good! Unlimited butter and cream. I don't have pics though. The week prior, was at UP Town Center for dinner and again prior to that, few ago, was at Bonchon. sis brought, Cronuts from Wildflour, Bronuts from bakers dozens, and Yema cake from quezon.  Holidays seasons always gives me this good feeling of wanting eat and be merry.  Heck, 'tis the season to be jolly! plus all the good food finds are everywhere sprouting. Cup cakes, and all kind of sweets. Eating lots of chocolates too. Oh Spiral..gonna visit you soon! ha ha

But wait... again. I wanna have deep dish pizza too! ☺☺☺

CASA VERDE...Verdict

Last weekend 27 October to be exact, after our trick or treat at Rockwell Power Plant, we went  to UP Town Center and ate dinner at Casa Verde. Sis ordered Brian's Ribs, I ordered best sampler, my nephew, the Tavern shrimps, and my bro in law, the  tenderloin.  We didn't order the huge burger.. but maybe we should have. So my verdict. I wasn't thrilled with the food! The price and the serving is good though. For big groups, this is the place to dine if you're on budget. Our bill cost around 1200 for all the food that we ordered and that's cheap. The serving is huge too.  Thumbs up to that.

But wait... there's more. I didn't enjoy the food.:( Buffalo wings was just ok. the blue cheese didn't taste like blue cheese. which made it worse.  The ribs.. the serving was huge, and that's about it. My sis liked it though.  The tenderloin was alright too. Not my type. I only enjoyed the tavern shrimp my nephew ordered, the rest was like bland.  There's just something lacking. must be the taste of each dish,. Maybe we should have ordered their huge burger instead.  I wonder  if it's good.. hmm.  To each his own taste  I suppose. Rubs is still way better! :)

                                                               

Brian's Ribs

Best Sampler

Tavern Shrimps I like

Will go back here to taste the huge burgers. 3 out of 5 for Casa Verde for the taste. 5 for their huge servings.
