may 23, 2009: mumbo gumbo

i am very adventurous when it comes to food. well, more than my husband anyway. that's why last may 23, i set a rule that we should eat lunch only in a restaurant where we haven't eaten yet. so say goodbye to the usual sbarro, wendy's, kfc, mcdo! nooo!

and that's when we discovered gumbo, a new restaurant in the newly-opened mega atrium. actually, the only reason why we ate there was because of the citibank cardholder freebies. hehe. we ordered grilled pork chops grande which costs P495, good for 2 already.
it comes with 2 free side dishes, so we chose mixed vegetables and french fries. on top, we added 2 cups of cajun rice (mas mura kasi kung ito yung on top, P55 lang, e yung mixed veggies and french fries, P85 each). our drinks as usual, coke regular for him, coke zero for her. both are already bottomless, ang mahal e, P60. since our bill reached P500, we got a free seafood spaghettini! imagine! one whole dish in itself. loving my card perks. :)

anyway, the food was soooo delicious! the pork chop was sprinkled with a certain spice which i can't pinpoint. the fries as well. masarap din yung veggies! and oh yes, the spaghettini. wala akong masabi, i loved it there. even hun said that we would definitely go back.

our bill reached almost P800, not bad since we decided to take away the pasta, and it lasted till breakfast. this is definitely a must-try!
