A short, partial list of food places we''ve been

Roberta's Flavors of Asia - Maginhawa Street - cant remember when

The ambiance is that of a canteen, but the food is good.
we had the lamb, the 3-choice appetizer, and of course, the watermelon tinola, and the shrimp salad.
the price is terrific for the pocket, and the taste is superior,

i've been able to duplicate the shrimp salad - although mine is a bit more tangier, something i did deliberately.

Scorecard:  Food a 7, Place a 5

Chercio - 76 Scout Limbaga, Morato area
Sometime Feb or March this year

The food was good. I especially liked the platter, because it allowed a smattering of  the different dishes. The tadyang was pretty good, too.  Dessert was alright.
The plac was another one of those white places, some with black couches and white wooden chairs

Scorecard:    8, 7

Nomama - Scout Tuason, near Morato

after the hype we received about this resto, my friends and i were excited about eating there.

The place was interesting    =   bright, all glass, sparkly

unfortunaely the food didnt live up to the hype.  The food was just
The best dish - and we spent a lot of money there - was shrimpt temputa, an old standby with me

Mesa - 254 Tomas Morato cor. Scount Fernandez.  Sharon Cuneta is part owner?

The place  comes across yellow-gold, but if you look around, you will find that the resto is no longer new.  The wait staff are equipped with tiny that holds a lighter (for those diners who need a light), pencils for taking orders, and a small pad. i just found it interesting.

The food was alright, and we indeed got catfish in a food - a signature dish.  But Muang Thai's catfish still beats the flavor.  I had to mix several sauces to complement the catfish better, and when i got it, i asked my friends to add it to the catfish.

i rather liked the butterflied tilapia, liking its crispy texture.  

Quezon - Maginhawa

Quezon favorites are available here to take home.  The smoked tapa is very good, but dont buy too much of it to take home because you will lose the flavor with satiety.

More next time -
