Out for Lunch..

Shop at More Food Adventures

I could not cook because the Pryce gas delivery didn't arrive in time to prepare lunch, so we had to eat out. It was too late for mid morning mass and too early for the afternoon mass so we figured we eat lunch, look for some holiday photo cards and head on some grocery shopping before going to mass at the neighboring church. We had lunch at Izzy's Cafe at the fourth floor of Gaisano Mall. It would have been the usual Jollibee, Pizza Hut or eat all you can at either Light House or Peking House, but we didn't like the food at the serving tables. So we opted for Izzy's. Not our favorite place, but previous experience was good enough so we can always go back and enjoy meals there. Here's what we ordered. We were served with the drinks that came with each of our orders.

We actually ordered the Super Saver Meal that's good for two persons, with Fried Calamares, Lechon Kawali and Spaghetti..

Plus the Cream of Mushroom and Chicken Soup, that's actually just good for one person, instead of two. 

And of course, the two glasses of Iced Tea above, plus two single serving of rice in separate plates. That's for the Super Saver Meal at P 170 per order.  Since there were three of us, we opted to order additional food. We added the Super Sulit Meal which costs P 95 per order. And we got the Skewered Chicken in Chili Sauce plus rice...

And Spaghetti.. This order also comes with a glass of Iced Tea. 

It was not really a good meal. It was just okay. But here's a reason why after this meal, we are not going back there..

There was an insect similar to a baby cockroach at the very seat I occupied. OMG! And it kept moving while my daughter was finishing up her spaghetti.. Tried to get the attention of the servers, but they were too busy.. 

For dessert, we had Belgian Waffle Ice Cream from some place else. Of course, after every task was done, we went to church and came back to Gaisano Mall for late snack or early dinner. Then we headed home.

Do you always char your eggplant or do you steam them too? Well, we usually char them prior to making special recipes out of them. 

This time, since it was really impossible to char eggplants, I chose to simply steam the eggplant on a steamer, atop the rice that was cooking at the rice cooker. It's nice that this rice cooker have it's own steamer.

Next step is to take the skin off, even when this was not a charred eggplant. There's just something about the skin that makes it bad for the recipe.

I have added the minced pork that has already been mixed with lots of garlic and onions. Added an egg too.  Seasoned.  Combined everything and fried the mixture in a little oil.

 Flipped it to the other side to cook.. And there you go.. 

Meaty Eggplant. Simple, filling and yummy!
