Just like what my title suggested, my recent visit to Xin Wang Hong Kong Cafe wasn’t my first time. My first experience wasn’t here was pretty disappointing and I had no plans of returning here. The boyfriend, however, thought that we should give it another go.
My Thai is definitely one of our go-to restaurants for yummy yet affordable food whenever we’re in Greenbelt. It’s unassuming simplicity, no-fuss presentation, and homey flavors are just some of the factors that made us love their menu. As I’m out of work these days, I trooped to Makati and met up with the boyfriend and some friends.
I don’t do full meals at coffee shops. Well, that would be my typical answer if someone asks me to have lunch or dinner at a coffee shop. Breakfast, of course, is a different story. But the boyfriend and I had no choice when we had to run an errand around lunchtime in Makati.
With virtually every fast food chain filled to the brim with lunch-ers, we just had to choose Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf.
To be fair though, I will admit that I’ve always been curious about CBTL’s “legitimate” lunch menu. Hence, it wasn’t too terrible that we ended up here.
However, I’ve always hated CBTL’s seriously slow service (what’s up with this?! Every CBTL shop I’ve been too always always ruin my day) so I was pretty annoyed the entire time we were waiting for our food.
The Cafe Mediterranean — or Cafe Med for the tamad (like me) to say the restaurant’s name in its entirety — has always been a good restaurant to visit whenever I’m on the prowl for something exciting yet still relatively familiar. Hmm. Did I just made sense there?

Almon Marina is far from being pricey, but for some reason, it has always intimated me. Yes, I don’t understand how a simple sandwich bar and deli could do that to me, but yeah, that’s that. Anyway, of the few times I’ve been to Almon Marina, I usually stick to pasta.
Out with the boyfriend one night, I veered away from this normality and dived into their plates of Fillet Mignon and Roast Beef.
