The Adventurer Eats: Satisfy Cravings

Here I am live and still traveling from the foothills of Antipolo City, Rizal to almost anywhere in Metro Manila. I was thinking to myself, what should be the subject of my adventures for today. I do have a pending blog which I promised--to chronicle traveling from East to West via LRT 2 (Purple train). I'll have that blog soon. For now, let's eat! Hey, a commuter has to eat, yes? As many of you do, I love taking pictures of yummy, enticing, and appetizing dishes from any restaurant, fast food chain, or even food kiosks. Of course, I cannot chronicle all that in one blog. So I'll show a few here and will continue this series as one of my regular topics for this blog.

Bonchon: Fish and Chips (Acropolis Branch, Libis, Q.C.)





After my first day at Gold's Gym, well, I was famished. So I passed by Bonchon and ordered my favorite entrée --Fish and chips. Crispy fish sticks, coated in soy garlic sauce, plus a regular serving of home fries. Now it also comes with honey citrus variety. And for dessert, I tried their Krispy Krepe, apple cinnamon flavor. It's enough to satisfy a fast craving.

Shakey's Pizza: Super Platter (Robinsons Metro East, Pasig City)





When it comes to pizza, my favorite has always been Shakey's. Their thin crust variety is to die for! Cripy and still filling. But on my last visit there, I wanted to have their cream of corn soup. It's good especially with the crispy potato strings on top. So I was talked into getting their Supper Platter--comes with a slice of pizza, side salad, spaghetti, 1-pc. fried chicken, and a bowl of cream of corn soup. Not bad, except for the overloaded salad dressing. Still, my craving for the day has been fulfilled.

Kenny Roger's Roasters: Solo A Meal (Sta. Lucia East Grand Mall, Cainta)



It's been a while since I've eaten at Kenny's. I miss their classic roast chicken. So I treated myself one time to a Solo A Meal--1/4 chicken, 1 side (steamed vegetables), 1 serving of rice, and a corn muffin. Healthy, yet satisfying.

Almon Marina: Stuffed Porkchop (SM Megamall, Mandaluyong City)



This is one of my favorite casual dining restaurants. And this dish is my favorite--thick slice of porkchop, stuffed with a creamy mixture of apples, herbs, and cheese. Mmmm...delightful! Whenever I pass by Almon Marina, I couldn't think of any other entrée that I'd like to order again and again.
