Barkada Dinner: BigCity

It has been a while since I've met with Waywanel, my college barkada. Being *ehem* grown-ups *ehem* they're too busy with work to spare time to see old friends. LOL, just kidding.

Last Tuesday (I think), a Nikko, my friend, posted in our group that we should have dinner. I told them I was only free that Thursday. Well, the schedule seemed fine, or else I wouldn't have this post. Lol. This dinner was also timely since it was Alex's (my other friend) birthday last July 4. Also, Nikko announced that he also would be leaving for Australia the next day.

Most of them were working in Makati so I just found it fitting to have out dinner around the area. I have been longing to visit the newly opened Glorietta wing so, with a lot of time in my hands, I searched for food joints located there. After searching at looloo and other sites, I saw this burger joint called BigCity, that had an average of a five-star rating. I suggested it to my friends and they gladly agreed.

When we arrived there, I was shocked to see that the place was small! (If you are to meet with a number of friends to sit down and talk in one table, I would not recommend it here). We were only six so the place was okay.

This is what you'll see upon entering the store. The aroma inside was overwhelming which made the hungry me hungrier. Haha.

Tong Yang with the Team

Last Monday, I got invited to join in on the Admin Department's dinner out. (Hoho, sira nanaman dyeta nito.) In the guise of a department meeting, we left the office at exactly five PM and headed to Megamall.

Much to my dismay (or not), the chosen restaurant was:

Tong Yang Restaurant
Located at the 4th Floor, Megamall Atrium

Kux Eats: Purple Oven at St. Peter

Yay! New blog segment!

Remember y'all? I'm merging everything into this blog? Well, here's another segment to somewhat categorize my utterly random posts. HAHA. There's nothing really complex in "Kux Eats". WYSIWYG. Kux Eats shall be like looloo for this blog. The segment shall feature restos and other places that serve edible stuff.

So there, intro done. Moving on...

Purple Oven at St. Peter serves delectable pastries that are to die for!! (Double exclamation point for emphasis.)

For everyone's information, Purple Oven is the supplier of pastries in (I'm not sure, if it's all) Starbucks Coffee shops in the Philippines. :)

Not really going on about specific details of each product but trust me, they're all delicious!

Here are some photos of the shop at St. Peter:

Yup, I agree!

You might be able to see these same doughnuts in Starbucks Shops. :)

Brownies, Revel Bars, Lemon Squares!

AND! To make things easier for everyone, here's a scanned copy of their menu! Yes, I know... You're welcome! ;)
