Mesa


Uncle Marcus, Auntie Aster and Malaya came to visit the Philippines. We had dinner last night at Mesa, Filipino Moderne in Greenbelt 5.


They serve the all time favorite Filipino dish. We ordered Pomelo Salad and baked scallops for appetizer. For the main course we had, sisig with egg, beef two-way, crispy hito, chicken binakol, laing two-way, and the best seller 1/2 crispchon two-way. Bagoong rice. Lahat masarap! Notice the two-way on some of our orders? It's called two-way because they are two dishes in one order. So the beef two-way was cooked in two different ways. One is crispy fried beef while the other one is beef cooked in coco nut. The crispchon is a MUST TRY! It's two way because half of it was chopped while half of it were wrapped in pandan crepe. You know what they do with pecking duck. The meat, strip of crispy balat, strip of cucumber, and some herb all wrapped together using the pandan crepe. Very delicious! Add to that the three kinds of sauce to choose from, the usual mang tomas gravy, white sauce used for shawarma, or teriyaki sauce. I give their food a two thumbs up!
Here's a picture of the crispchon.


The interior of the restaurant was very nice and elegant. You'll see the touch of Filipino in the furniture they use and even their utensils. Makes me even prouder of being a Filipino. There are also function rooms there for big occasions. So if you plan to have your birthday celebration, it'll be the perfect place. For reservations call (632) 728-0886.

Food price is affordable. The crispchon though is quite expensive but you won't regret when you order it.

How to get to Mesa? From EDSA, turn right to Ayala Ave, left to Makati Ave, then right to Dela Rosa St. (it's the first right turn after taking a left to Makati Ave) At the corner of Dela Rosa st you will see Ayala Museum, beside it is Greenbelt 5. First street to the left is Legazpi, find your parking there. Mesa is located at the second floor of Greenbelt 5.

Letting Go

Reading Thought Catalog can bring you a myriad mix of emotions, heartbreaking, sad, contented, relieved, happy, fortunate and a whole lot more. This particular article highlighted important points as if slapping me in the face to wake up! When someone decides you’re not the one for them, don’t argue with them. When someone decides you’re not the one for them, do not, I repeat, do not question yourself.   When someone decides you’re not the one for them, love yourself enough to let them go.   When someone decides you’re not the one for them, take your time to find yourself again, a self that isn’t confined within anyone’s definition of “the one,” a self that’s true, a self that’s happy.   Remember your life before them. Remember all the moments you felt so happy, so confident, so strong and it had nothing to do with them or being chosen by them at all. Everything mentioned in the article pierced my heart, and allowed me to come back into my senses, and my logic

October 31, 2017 12monkeys, El Pueblo It was a night of good music, food, drinks, and of course good company! Forever idol Ebe. Naalala mo pa ba sa Baler nakajamming ka namin sa Bays Inn? Ung pinipilit ka ng isang lokal na magtopless ka kasi nasa dagat daw! ! Anyways solid na tugtugan talaga ito. Sa uulitin sa dagat naman na ulit. Ok so tumugtog din si Gabby ng Urbandub at sobrang ok rin niya talaga. At gusto kong sabihing let us support local artists! Dahil ang daming talentong meron ang mga Pilipino.
