Roundy Eats! Cara Mia Cakes & Gelato

Cara Mia Cakes and Gelato offers a variety of cakes and gelato flavors at an affordable price. Recently, they had this buy 1 take 1 promo of cakes on their opening day. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to avail of this ( hoping they will have this again soon). I recently subscribed to Booky prime and one of the restaurants which offers discount or buy 1 take 1 is Cara Mia. 

Saved P90 through booky app

Avail of 1 scoop of gelato for P90 and get another scoop for free; not bad of a deal. I had the Mango Cream Pie and the other one is Coffee Mudslide Gelato. They are both creamy, not too sweet, though I don't like coffee flavored ice cream that much, I loved the mango flavored one.

Their cakes look good yummy and tasty too! I would definitely try those next time.

Roundy Eats! La Carnita Modern Mexican Cantina

Do you love nachos? Are you a cheese-crazy-addict type of person? If you're both of these, then you're in for a treat! One of the well known food stalls in the Food Hive, La Carnita offers one of the best nachos-cheese in the metro. For P195, they will serve you THE BOMB, aka Nachos A la Bomba.

They will serve it to you with a generous amount of nacho chips then they will pull out this pan of freshly grilled cheese, pour it on top of the nachos, and voila! A picture perfect, mouth-watering nachos and cheese! It also comes with 3 dips; garlic mayo, salsa, and like a mild sriracha sauce.

Personally, I'm not really a fan of nachos but this one blew my mind that I was craving for more even after I finished the whole thing.

So, if ever you happen to pass by Visayas Ave, be sure to check out this place. A seriously definitely must try.

Roundy Eats! Caffe da Illy

Tucked in a corner in Z Square, it sure is amazing how this cafe survived when all its neighboring restos in Z Square already closed down. We've always seen it but it didn't cross our minds to try it...until last weekend.

We arrived around dinner time and the place was not full. It's quite a small place with a few tables and chairs. The overall ambience feels a little bit homey though it has a modern interior design.

I ordered their pesto pasta with chicken while my gf had the chicken alfredo.

For drinks, I had iced hazelnut and iced white mocha for my gf.

 The pasta were perfectly cooked, though both are very bland for my taste despite being covered in cream sauce and pesto. The chicken strips didn't taste fresh so it's really a downer. The coffee were good, but nothing special. For dessert, we ordered their oreo cheesecake and this is where they make up for the subpar pasta dishes. I really hate gelatinous cheesecake, but theirs is legit. I really enjoyed every spoonful of that sweet and slightly sour cheesecake.

I recommend their coffee and dessert but their pasta is a no no. I would try other foods on their menu next time.

The Newest and Cheesiest Craze!

Tori Chizu Ph opened up its newest branch in Trinoma barely a month ago and the hype has been real especially for all the cheese and cheesy lovers out there. Their specialty, the japanese doria,has been introduced in the country for many years now and I can tell you, theirs is one of the best. Basically, a Doria is made up of rice topped with mozzarella cheese, cream, and a variety of meat like pork and chicken glazed in teriyaki sauce, and baked to perfection.

I arrived before the opening of Trinoma, and I'm already excited to try out their famous Doria. I was the first customer so the service was quite fast, only took about 10 minutes for my food to be served. I had one of their best sellers, the Chicken Teriyaki Doria. It was a sight to behold;piping hot mouth watering cheesy goodness topped with a generous serving of chicken bits. That first spoonful of cheese, rice, and chicken was glorious though, it can be a bit nakakaumay as I chomped down on the rest of the food. The chicken teriyaki has like a burger texture to it, quite a bit mushy just to note. Since they offer desserts, I suggest to have it with your doria.

For P149, it's super duper worth it. Will I come back? Definitely. I would try their other best sellers next time.
