ELIAS by Chef Florabel Co-Yatco

What to eat? Where to eat? It's so hard to please your parents... Nothing expensive, not too exotic, not the usual, no more long walks please? Ha! Thank God for Filipino food, thank God for reknowned chefs like Florabel Co-Yatco changing the landscape of local cuisine into a not so ordinary fare. We, a Filipino-Chinese family, found ourselves in a turn of the century local restaurant, and was amused to see fellow chinky-eyed locals coming in to enjoy dishes that we seldom see on the family dinner table. We shared a PLATTER OF GRILLED SEAFOOD and MEAT and everyone had a fair share. The BINAGOONGAN RICE is a good combination of flavors that complements the grilled entrees. You might want to add more rice though, we're just cutting back on starch due to high sugar levels in the family. And did I mention that they serve really good CORNICKS for appetizers?! We asked for more and mixed it to the rice - Crunchy! We had room for desserts, haha, I miss all the go...

Girls' date night! Yey! I miss my best buddy, good thing she was in the area and had time away from the busy-ness of being a full-time mommy & a full-time businesswoman. We pranced around the luxury establishments and drooled and contemplated over a LOT of leather goods. But one thing we indulge ourselves in at last is our appetite for real food. rice tea & shrimp salad for starters - filling already! Deciding on the contemporary feel of the place... actually the visually stimulating steak being grilled on-stone on one of the patron's tables was enough to convince us that yes, dinner is definitely here at KAI + it sounds like her adorable bunso's name, haha, what a coincidence! delectable oysters, of course! We indulgently paced ourselves, enjoying every bite of our precious dinner together. Taking pictures with either the Apple or the HTC phone and comparing every delectable shot as well. tasty tofu dish w/ 3 kinds mushroom Dinner was above ...
