Pinalagpas at binigo mo ko this time, matcha pero kakapit pa din ako sa'yo. :(((( Hahanapin pa rin kita. :(((( HAHAHAHA. As in super sama talaga ng loob ko. Pati mga Vegas learnings ko sa Casino, nalimutan ko kaya mas sumama pa loob ko. Lamona. Casino 'yan eh. Kaso 'yun nga, syempre pag napuno ka na ng thinking na wala hanggang sa dulo wala. hahaha. Umuwing talo, luhaan at di mapakinabangan hahaha pero may new learning na kailangan na ulit maging financially responsible. Oi, mag 3 months ka ng nasa Pilipinas, Tin! Umayos ka. Di 'yung hanggang ngayon puro pa rin gastos. Tsk Kaya ayoko na bumalik muna sa casino. Kakaloka!!! Naputol na Vegas - Solaire winning streak Hahahaha! Anyway, balikan na lang natin 'yung good memories when I did a Staycation in Marriott  Hotel, Newport Area. Although I have no idea when and how, I am looking forward for a Maxim's Hotel Staycation! Sobrang ganda ng pool nilaaaaa. Bali levels!!

The interior is well thought of and you can find wall arts everywhere. As for the areas, they have an airconditioned area, smoking area, garden area. Iba iba. All in one.

Smoked Farmers Lemon Grass Pork Belly This one's flavorful and I find the dip very interesting. I can't distinguish what the spices used were but it complemented the pork well.

Ilocos Empanada. <3 Farinas Ilocos Empanada's stall is open 24 hours, while the others are from 3PM - 2AM.

Smore's

Chocolate Mousse

Loaded fried! Loved this.

This is one of those that I liked the most but I wasn't able to get the name of this dish. This is from the Mexican food stall and based from experience, my cousin was able to successfully order is just by saying, "'Yung maliit na roll na may laman sa gitna pero hindi burrito." Yup hahaha. Ganyan ako kagaling mag-describe but it worked so....

Urban Hits @ Urban Eats Thumbs up for the free acoustic night every Saturday!

I don't know what this looks like now since this post is a month delayed but yup, go na here with your forever!

Samgyeopsal minus the smell of smoke from WYK Korean Resto We were also able to taste their Spicy Pork and I liked that as well. Masarap at hindi lang bias ako sa Korean cuisine. :))

Also one of those that I liked most. Spicy Salmon Tartar Ebi is an appetizer from Nihon Ryori

Beef Float from Quench That's what I am talking about oh, albeit blurred, I'm sure the wall art is still obvious.

Hainanese Chicken, Scallops Florentine, Chicken Lettuce Cup of Valentina's My favorite among the three is the Scallops Florentine.

Bacon Wrapped Tuna from Nihon Ryori

We were also served longganiza pizza with this Ilocos Empanada. Huhu. Love this to the last bite! I frequent their branch in Visayas Avenue so this isn't something new to me but one thing's for sure, this never fails to make happy. Hehe!

The dip from Smoked Farmer's was really interesting.

Shrimplet Gladiator of Hungry Knights This has just the right amount of creaminess which is made more balanced by the diced carrots and corn kernels. The shrimps were also cooked well and doesn't have that rubbery texture.

So cute these drinks.

FISH BOWL ICED TEA Capital letters para intense. Hehe. Just wish they had a special straw with this huge serving of iced tea.

I have found the right word to describe what I feel SOMETIMES. 😂🍴 #artsycafe #maginhawa #food #hangry #gaanokadalasangminsan

Fish and Fries for appetizer

Pesto This was my order and even though it wasn't something special for me, it was good enough. It wasn't oily and having the cheesy chicken on top was better than pairing pasta with bread. Laking tulong ko e no. Haha.

People who love to eat are always the best people. IKR!!!!!!! Kailangan pa bang i-memorize 'yan?!

Overall, even if the food we had weren't that remarkable to me or I've probably forgotten about the taste, it's the ambiance of this place that I liked a lot. The multi-colored chairs and tiles were also cute additions to the interior.  I love how it is living up to its name - artsy. As for the crowd, peak hours are always my problem in ALL restaurants I've been to at Maginhawa. I don't think I even need to mention that here again.

We found #thelostbread. Bakit ba naman kasi 'yon nawala? Hahaha! 😂 @thelostbread_ #milkshake #maginhawa #strEAT #swissmissed #thecampfire 😋

Congrats, Yummy Eats for a very very successful event. We had a hard time lining up when we went there because even if there were more than 70 concessionaires and the location was bigger than before, the attendees were so many. As in, divisoria levels nung umaga. But got through it with patience and hunger.

Providing us with this kind of container was a great idea since it has become easier for us to take home the food we couldn't eat anymore.

Someone's always a happy kid when she has food in her hands.

Just this one thing. I think the organizers should have provided seats at least because even if this is a food tasting event na medyo cocktail party ang feel, it was hard to eat while standing. Kanya- kanyang strategy kung paano mai-increase ang comfort level habang kumakain. My friend and I sat on the floor. Sayang nga hindi ko nadala 'yung sarong ko para picnic na picnic na 'to. Hahaha. We only spent around 2 1/2 hours here which wasn't enough so we took home most of the food we got but some of my favorites are: I lost my Yummy eats passport but... 1. Pesto Spread. I forgot who/where was it from. (green spread on the cracker; first picture) 2. Hot Chocolate from Xocolat 3. Masatami's Salted Caramel 4. The Hang Over Ice Cream of Kool Kids 5. Merry Moo's Avocado Gelato A food fair like no other.  Expect us again, Yummy Eats 2015!
