Let me interrupt my Hongkong series with this pizza love. Yellow cab opened in our city with a big bang. Delivering big 18 inches pizzas, loaded with toppings. All of us thought is was an american franchise, with how the advertisement looked like showing caucasians, showing new york city. Glad to know that its proudly Filipino owned and it already have branches abroad.
They came up with an imitation to C Italian dining PANIZZA and they call it Dear Darla. let see how they fare in their try… 
Not as thin as the ones of C’s, not also as savory. It is a cheap and closer(in terms of distance not in taste…NO WAY) alternative. A healthier way in eating my favorite food.
Another new item is the baked potato halves.
loaded with cheese and bacon bits. it was good, but it would have been better if it was baked more so you get a golden brown crust
Freshly cooked, served hot. Filling was substansial, tasted great. no fatty extenders. great with the dipping sauces
i was surpirsed by the contents of these dumplings. You can see the whole shrimp, and not the chopped shrimps we use to find in other places here. Very very good. Has this pan fried. the pork variant we had it steamed.
the noodles unlike the noodle houses we are used to, like north park, ling nam etc etc.. are fat just like a japanese udon. These noodle are of the taiwanese kind, which you can also find when you order noodles in Ersao. its chewy and very filing. Beef was very tender and the broth very flavorful.
one of the dishes that is popular in this resto. Chani.. meaning pan-fried. this dish can be a bit oily… but otherwise it was very good. It was loaded with seafood and veggies, the noodles were cooked just right.
i first saw this dish on the website of Lori Baltazar, She described it so beautifully that i am ashamed to described it myself. I orderd this dish bec of Lori and i didnt regret it,. It was good, the Shrimp was cooked just right, the breading was puffy but still light and not oily.
16 pices of ground pork mixed with minced veggies, wrapped in a lumpia skin. I like the fact that the lumpia wrapper was thick, it was just right, the meat inside didnt have too much extenders.
Classic thick noodles, swimming in a dark brown sauce loaded with differetn ingredients topped with fried garlic and shallots. This is one of the Chinese comfort food, served piping hot, good to fight any disease. hehe, i have yet to try Lomi places in Batangas, they say its delicious and cheap
- this was ordinary, nothing great.
- braised Kangkong.. still green and fresh, cooked just right to maintain its colot and texture/ THe lechon kawali has just the right amount of fat intermingled with the meat. THe skin was crispy
nothing unsual here, fairly done
- the star of the show. Cooked perfectly, juicy and succulent. one of my favorite Chicken here in Manila, the other one being Country Chicken. Can be eaten alone or with its special brown sauce.
available here in the philippines comes from a small stall in Quiapo.. Aptly named Excellente ham
i usually pan fry it to get it heated up(i dont like cold food that much) and crisp up the fat. Pour the sauce over and reduce it up a bit/ SErve with eggs-over easy.:)
The cute butter diner toaster which can be used to toast bread.
4 pcs of bacon with 2 eggs, orderd scrambled here, but u can order it any style u want. – nothing special, the a little sloppy on the presentation.
stacked of 2 pancakes stuiffed with strawberries topped with whipped strawberry butter and drizzled with strawberry syrup. What killed the dish here was the strawberry syrup they use. it was too watered down, making the pancakes a little mushy, would have appreciated it more if they would just make their won and not used commercialized ones
hmmm– again, nothing extraordinary, Filling station in Makati still serves the best milk shake in town…
