Le Petit Cheri !

Before we ended 2012, my friends and I decided to go out and celebrate with coffee and dessert at Le Petit Cheri. It's a quaint French restaurant tucked away in Molito, Alabang.  Since we already had dinner at the house, we just had dessert... lots of desserts !

Le Petit Cheri means 'the little darling' and it was just that.  As you go in, you are greeted with 'bonsoir' which means good evening.  I love the interior because it feels very cozy.  They have acoustic music and I was told it was on every Saturday.  Love their uniforms also as it makes you feel you are indeed in France!

We absolutely enjoyed what we ordered - and we tried to get some of each - creme brulee, truffle cake, macaroons, creme puff (I forgot the French translation) and bread pudding  They also serve other viands and I would definitely try those on my next visit.

So if you are craving for French food, do check them out. 


Cozy and quaint place
The bread choices
Your choices of desserts.


What we ordered ! Yum!
That Nutella is 5 kgs! 
And of course their gorgeous Christmas tree !
And as they greeted while we were going out - Merci beaucoup!
Enjoy !

Elias restaurant at Bonifacio High Street!

Another food find this weekend is Elias Restaurant.  It's a high end restaurant that boasts of a different twist in Filipino food starting with the names that they have given them in the menu.

They have clever names like Tiago's Triumph, Mi Ultimo Felicidad, Achara ni Ibarra among others.  It definitely sparks a conversation among family members on who best remembered the Spanish colonial era particularly the novels of our national hero - Jose  Rizal.

We went there for the 18th birthday of my niece.  Another table was also celebrating a birthday.  I guess it is already  favorite place for celebrations and it is easy to see why.

The food size is huge and definitely for sharing.  The ambiance has a homey feeling to it and the food tastes great.  The price is also reasonable for me because it is for sharing.

Location :
7th Ave cor 29th St
Bonifacio High Street Central in Taguig




I love the Binagoongan.  It's served as layers from the egglant topped with bagoong or shrimp paste then with the crispy pork liempo.  Yum!

De Los Santos - a medly of fish, pork , oysters. chicken.  My son loved the oysters !

Notice the crispy pork on this Pilosopong Pinakbet !

This is the surprise part when the bill came and it was inside this bird.  So unique !

I will come back for more surprises !
Enjoy!
