Too much time on my hands. Apparently this is what fresh grads do, make gifs.

On the flip side of the hacienda-like dining experience, Antonio's has something a bit more accessible for everyone. Found right beside the main highway in Tagaytay, Antonio's Grill keeps in tune with it's luxury diner counterpart with the same "neocolonial" feel. Prompt service, and fast food, having your entire order splayed out on your table like naked platinum blonde twins incites something pretty damn primal. Sizzling beef shanks drowned in gravy made from its own marrow, a plate of crispy fried pork belly right beside. It can't get anymore shameless when your washing down a bite of tender beef with forkful of fried pork. The night's dinner took about three and a half hours, afternoon lunch, 25 minutes.

Green Mango & Bagoong (Shrimp Paste), Fried Tawilis (Fish local to the volcanic lake close by), Spicy Spinach Stalks in Coconut Milk, Sinigang (Clear broth Beef Stew), Grilled Stuffed Squid, Sizzling Bulalo (Beef Shank and Marrow), and Crispy Pata.

Chalk up another hot summer day, this one being a special one though as it was Burger Day at Chili's (P118 for any burger). I don't quite understand what's the terrible stigma with Chili's stateside, but its a pretty acceptable guilty pleasure over here. Crappy McMexican food? Yes. And on that note, I'll order two.

BBQ Ranch Burger and the free birthday wotever (staff was so busy, I didn't even get a song, sadface).

Mall pullouts and eats. First, Sango, to grab a quick melon shake. Mud thick and plenty of happy. Quick pit stop at home to find that there was BBQ, couldn't pass that up either.

Dinner later on (at Lui) was a bit of an oddball. With decent reviews and a couple recommendations here and there, I thought it was going to be a sure shot. The Truffled Mac and Cheese sort've left me scratching my head. Served with nothing else, I didn't know what to think, didn't help that a perfectly bloody pork chop was sitting across from me either. Maybe next time.

for my whole life i thought i was allergic to strawberries because that's what i've been told since i was a child. but after 20 years of being deprived of real strawberries, i took a risk and ate a crepe with strawberries in them. fucking delicious and turns out i am not allergic. SICK

Did you break out in hives the first time or something? Oftentimes people grow out of certain food allergies or problems. I had a lot of friends who used to be allergic to food/alcohol but they no longer are. Likewise, some are developing allergies now.

I was close to becoming lactose intolerant, like all other Asians. But I escaped, after a long and hard battle.

DON'T STOP EATING WHAT YOU LOVE CUHS ITLL KILL YOU. EAT IT.

^ word your body chem changes every 7 years or so they say, so it's def. possible to grow out of certain allergies. I used to not be able to eat strawberries, peaches, plums, apples, etc cause I had OAS and since this year I've been able to haha

Best meal level. I'd say this is probably one of the best bites you could grab if your in Manila, right beside the Michelin star set dinner, and the hundred dollar four course. The experience just left me too happy, and it didn't even burn a hole in my wallet either.

For most people into pork, when they hear the Philippines, they always think.. "oh, the Lechon." For me though, its Bagnet, possibly all the way. Crackling solid on the outside, piping hot tender in, it'll curdle your blood up right to a delicious full stop.

Supporting cast is made up of Tuyong Dinuguan (Dry version of a blood stew), another dish made up of pig liver, cheek, ear that I can't seem to remember, and Pinakbet (vegetables sauted in shrimp paste).
