Chocolat Cakes

Best and most affordable place for dessert! I wasn't able to get the prices anymore but I'm sure all of them are from Php 45- 80 max! As of late, these are what I have been able to try:

This was good. The carrot-ness of the cake was kept at a minimum which was great.

This should be called "Heaven in a Slice" the most delectable chocolate cake I have tasted in a long time. It didn't taste too dark as oppose to what I had expected. If I were to describe this cake in one word, I would call it LUSCIOUS.

Strawberry Cheesecake

A sugar free strawberry cheesecake to be exact. This was bad though. I really did not enjoy the cake nor the icing. It wasn't even cheesecakey! More like a cake with some cheese in it maybe. Chinese Cheesecake as we here at home call it.

Choco-Hazelnut Cake

This was good too! That tiny chocolate bar on top added to the bliss! This one I can eat for days and days on end!

Passed by to cap a long day off. Tried the

Mangojito Php 95

This was okay. The mixture of the mango puree and mint leaves were not that pleasing for me. Although this is supposedly an award winning concoction. So maybe you should give it a try too! Lucky us, the drinks were 50% off at the time we were there. Weird, drinks were 50% off during happy hour and not during the dead hours. haha. Anyway, it's a cool place to lounge.

Tandoori King

Always wanted to try this place in MOA. Their menu is a mix of Indian and Pakistani cuisine. A tandoor is a cylindrical clay oven in which food is cooked over a hot charcoal fire. With this in mind, I was really excited to try their chicken and see what its effect on the chicken skin would be like.
The place seems almost like a fast food restaurant but isn't. The menu was also quite limited. We tried:

Tandoori Chicken Php175

I found this to be good. Most especially when dipped in their special sauce. I asked for another serving
of the sauce and was charged Php15 for it! haha. Real tandoori chicken should be marinated in yogurt and some spice. The turmeric should give it its color.

Beef Oriental Chapawraps Php95

This was good but very 'bitin' though. Wish it was bigger and meatier.

From what we were able to eat, I think the tandoor taste is more apparent if you order a chicken dish rather than beef.

Gram's Diner

Located by the Seaside Area of Mall of Asia, this restaurant offers a whole lot of those 'creamy/ creamed up' dishes typical in most diners. One thing noticeably missing from their menu however was the milieu of pancakes and waffles. All they had were the plain pancakes which you could add cheese or chocolate to.

What We Had:

Roast Beef Belly Php 205

The beef was very 'malitid' but not gummy, in fact it was tender and easy to chew. The gravy was basic. The mashed potatoes however were great! They were authentic and not your run-of-the-mill ready to mix kind. This dish comes in a meal set which includes salad or soup, iced tea, vegetables and coffee or tea.

Go Go Mango Php 155

Deboned chiken grilled in a mango sauce. It was okay, you can slightly taste the mango in the sauce. Can be paired with either rice or mashed potatoes.
