The Day I Wore Blue to The Land of Green and White!
Photos!!
Me working the Cold Station the Asian pose was so 2009 |
This small little square where you pick up orders is still there! Miss you SGH Batch 19!! SGH Batch 19 THS Shift with one MWF-er! hehe |
The "Tiramisu" A Solomon Guest House Classic! They Still Have it! |
Loving the napkin holders! I want one! |
Check out the banderitas (colorful fiesta flags). We were in for a fiesta! |
Who could go wrong with the Filipino Theme! everything on the menu looked good and sounded good in my head! Bagoong, Bicol Express Tapa, Sisig. All the classics. It was a miracle though that Adobo was not in sight!
We orders some drinks to start of and Appetizers (Pampagana)
Mr. Suave. Made with Mint Leaves and Calamansi Juice |
Sugarfree. Pineapple juice, OJ, Calamansi Juice and I think Grenadine? |
Streetfood Platter! Kwek Kwek (Quail eggs in an orange batter) is my favorite! |
Asado Buffalo Wings- A must order! Sweet and salty, nice light but stable batter coating the chicken! Delicious! |
Rizza finally joined us so we started to order entrees:
Crispy Bagnet |
Dory Patty with Bicol Express Sauce |
Crispy Pancit |
Crispy Kare-Kare |
Cajun Chicken. |
Sisig |
The sisig was okay. Needed a bit more crispiness and flavor. Yet I commend that they stood by the original sisig and really used pork jowl.
Could you imagine we were only 3 consuming all of this and we had I think 5 cups of rice!
Believe it or not we still had space for dessert! None of us were stretching or standing up. I think through the years we have mastered the art of eating. No sign of surrender whatsoever!
Choc Nut Cupcake |
Fried Halo-Halo |
Loving this simple plate. I don't eat Halo Halo but according to my friends they loved this. Just think Halo-Halo without the Ice and Milk wrapped in a wonton wrapper and you got yourself this! The Caramel Drizzle was spot on! Not to bitter and creamy! I can go on and on!!
HAPPY CUSTOMERS!
If you visit now and spend worth 250 pesos you get a loyalty card! You have to get this before the term ends that's around August!
If you dont get your appetite running just by looking at the pictures then you have no love for food! You do not have a heart I tell yah! The best part is food only costs around 60-130 pesos drinks are around 35-40 pesos. So I command you go to Solomon now!! What a great meal.. With laughter from friends I haven't seen in weeks!
After I guess 2 hours we managed to have ice cream and coffee at Vatel. Again, a miracle!
Edible Flowers Centerpiece at each Table at Vatel |
Cerveza Negra Ice Cream! Pot- Pot's Original Recipe still used here! |
My Shot of Macchiato |
It was a food trip to remember! Everything starts and ends with good food and good company and I sure had both today! It was great to see the Alma Mater again despite big renovations going on. Reminiscing the streets we used to hang out at, the people, street children and vendors we have made friendships with. truly green and white people are the only ones who can make bonds like these.
So I hope you enjoyed this entry! I'm still trying to get down the food that I ate! And do visit!
