On the menu book, you will read a few Spanish word actually most of their menu named in Spanish. Like Espaqueti  as the main category below it are the list of pasta they can serve such as Espaqueti a Lasagna, Espaqueti Paella, Vongole and Espaqueti Carbonara, etc. After deciding what to order, I have to asked the waiter the difference  of Caldereta de Lengua and Lengua Salpicon meaning these two are both cow’s tongue just cooked differently. Salpicon is saute in garlic while caldereta is mixture of red( tomato ) sauce and few spice like bell pepper and parsley leaves.

 Here’s what we’ve ordered:

Lengua Salpicon served with Iced Tea & Soup cost: Php 149.00

Caldereta de Lengua served with Iced Tea & Soup cost: Php 149.00

Carbonara with Chicken Fingers served with Iced Tea  cost: Php 99.00

Churros con Chocolate cost:Php 75.00

And for our take-home

1 box ( 6pcs) Mini Mix of Eclair and Cream Puff  cost: Php 61.00

  I’ve mentioned above expecting to taste their food with lots of sweetness rather full of flavours. But I guess we were not lucky to find it at Dulcinea. Everything taste differently  even the churros dip in chocolate, it was not even that sweet for a chocolate. Sorry but we were so disappointed after eating our meal. Like the soup, it looks tasty but when you had it inside your mouth, o-0h! you cannot find anything tasty except the oil it was made of. Or the caldereta de lengua with smelly taste and the sauce is too dull you can’t even say it was bitter or sour.  So much for a wise spent money.

Last week this January 2011, Roberto’s Queen Siopao Special Schedule:

• January 25 (Tuesday)
• January 26 (Wednesday)
• January 27 (Thursday)
• January 28 (Friday)

It is an advantage for a restaurant to post some banners or ads of their menu on the side road. The picture above was the ad that attracted my Mom and made her decide that we should try and eat at Salvi’s Grill.

From the outside, it looks like an ordinary “kamalig” type restaurant.

Upon entering, I was amazed by the beautiful view.

Just walking inside makes me feel like I am a Princess.

A choice of where to eat, in this kawayan (bamboo) table and chairs in an open space …

a wooden tables and chairs indoor …

a closed kamalig (hut) for  groups …

a lumpiga (sitting on the floor) style of eating …

and a kamalig good for 4 people, which my Mom had chosen to be our dining place for this visit.

The view above us …

and the side, overlooking the road is just perfect.

It is not only the view of this place that filled my heart during our visit but also the delicious food they serve. It does not just look good on the ads, it taste even better.

A commendable place to dine. So if you are looking for a place to make you feel like a princess and would truly satisfy you, this one would probably be “IT.”

Located at Jalandoni Street in between E. Lopez Street and Commission Civil Street.

You will never miss it because it is just beside …

SM Hypermart Parking area in Iloilo which is formerly Macro Iloilo.

Beautiful and yes, this is at Roberto’s. A place once was criticized because of its old look  - now updating it to suit the modern ways. Not only that, I overheard the management talking that tomorrow there will be some additions to this (for that one, I will be checking it next week).

If you love Roberto’s like I do, keep on coming back to check for updates.

Yes, it used to be once a month but this January, Roberto’s decided to have a second week for Roberto’s Queen Siopao Special Schedule.

• January 11 (Tuesday)
• January 12 (Wednesday)
• January 13 (Thursday)
• January 14 (Friday)

I was shocked to see this new Special Schedule they have for this week, because I just posted one last week and expected that the  next schedule would be on Dinagyang Week. Well, we would never know when Roberto’s would post its next schedule after this one, because indeed it is so special that you have to keep on coming back to check it out. Good thing for me, I planned on going there once a week for breakfast and have decided to make it every Monday – and with that said, you know that I’ll post whatever info I gather.

I just drank a bottle of Minute Maid Pulpy. They say it’s got ‘no preservatives added’. Aw, c’mon…It’s bottled juice. Is that even possible? So I thought maybe… because “if there is a will, there’s a way.”

I didn’t believe it the first time I heard it’s got no preservatives added. So I read the ingredients (even the fine print) and everything checked out! It really has NO PRESERVATIVES ADDED! That means it doesn’t have ingredients that may turn out to be allergens, or worse…carcinogens! Whew! Now that’s healthy goodness that tastes so good, I… will share this info with my loved ones.

So okay, it’s got no preservatives added. That’s really good, right? Not just because it doesn’t have those icky, harmful ingredients, but it also means… it is healthy!

So far anyone who still has a hard time believing that Minute Maid has got no preservatives added – meaning it’s THAT natural, it’s almost like it’s plucked straight from the tree, it’s just as Mother Nature wanted your orange juice to be, it’s got nothing but the good stuff yes, none of those potentially toxic stuff that can harm your brain, kidneys, heart; cause tumors aargh- the list of preservatives’ bad effects just go on!!! Anyway, just to prove a point on just how good Minute Maid Pulpy is ’cause it’s got NO PRESERVATIVES ADDED, I’m gonna share this with someone as I drink it on a daily basis to spread the goodness.

Feels good to know about the real pulpy deal, right? C’mon show me a smile on the comment box, and you might win yourself a Really Pulpy Deal! (That’s a chance to win a Minute Maid gift pack simply by commenting. Sweet! C’mon you just might be picked as the lucky ‘commentor’!)

Love,

Babsy
