friday report...

was still so sick last night but i keep on saying to Oliver that i need a good dinner preferably something like Northpark Hotpot dishes to fill me. i asked him if we could drive to Makati, so we went through and went to the new Glorietta 5. it was my ever first time to step at this new Ayala building which is just across Rustan's and what i found out is most of the shops and restos from the old Glorietta 1 and 2 was relocated at this new shopping venue. though few people and by-standers frequent this new building the overall ambiance plus the crowd is just so so compared to Greenbelt 5. another thing, those line up of restos between Park Square 1 and 2 was also reloc here --Gerry's Grill, North Park, Guilly's, except for Max's which was the only establishment that was retained. Luk Yuen had a soft opening too at the ground level facing Glorietta 4-Oakwood.

Glorietta 5 now open!

well, if you think we dined at NP we did not this time. why? because we did not check first the list of restos and because Oliver found Chef d Angelo's new home at the 3rd level already there's no way i can pacify him. it has been his favorite Italian fast food (wayback 2004 or 2005 when we first dined here) and during those months when CdA was closed at Glorietta 2 we would go to Robinson's Galleria branch to dine. you know how Oliver loves pasta and pizza, we would always go for the white sauce and white cheese too. we had an order of great white pizza (size is 9") P230.00 --this pizza cost only P120.00 wayback 5 years ago and pizza size is standard at 9" then and that no other size is available. tomato based Seafood Medley cost P180.00 --taste is just so so or maybe because i have no appetite, try it spicy! and i had this order of Bacon Potato Cheese Soup for P55.00 only --rich and creamy but i still prefer French Baker's soup bowl. and because i feel sick it was so easy for me to get full, after that round of soup, a slice of pizza and a little serving of pasta i content overlooking Oakwood and wishes that someday we'll have an apartment condo similar to it. yeah, wishful thinking! we went home straight after dinner.

wishing everyone a splendid weekend!
