Belly Good Cafe & Crepes, San Francisco

You know how sometimes a simple piece of food can make you feel so happy? Well this is one of them.

If the name already makes you giddy, wait until you see the food!

After a very filling lunch, my friend and I decided to eat some more, just to see if our stomachs would explode. We were in Japan Town in San Francisco, so we decided to just walk around the area to see if there is a dessert place we could go to. We entered the mall and we saw this place.

I found out that, even though there were so many choices in the menu, we are allowed to make our own topping combinations. So I decided to order a sweet crepe with Nutella, strawberries and whipped cream.

After waiting for about five minutes, this is what I got:

SO CUTE!

The crepe tasted just like a normal crepe, but the fact that it looks so cute compensates for the lack of amazingness in the food.

Here and There in Iloilo

Hello, readers! GONG XI FA CAI to all our Chinese friends! I’m just going to post everything I haven’t been able to post so far on account of being so busy with school (I’ve started on my thesis, ugh) and all. So I’m catching you guys up and because there are so many I’ll be quick with it.

Crepe Samurai at MARIDEL’S, Plazuela

I really liked it (crepe + mango ice cream = legit) although it was a bit messy.

KOREAN ICE CREAM (P60 each; bought from the Korean grocery store across Jollibee, E. Lopez, Jaro)

Vanilla ice cream with a sort of black bean thing. It was good but a bit hard to eat on account of it being messy. Or maybe it was just me…

Basically an ice cream sandwich made of vanilla ice cream and cheese cake. I loved this!

Zatazza

I’ve been to Zatazza twice, tried their coffee twice, cursed their coffee twice.

MARIDEL’S, Plazuela

VODKA CAKE: I liked it fine but I don’t think I’m going to eat it again. I guess Vodka’s not my thing after all.

SNICKERS PIE: Basically this pie is made with all the components that you can find in a Snickers bar. I personally am not a big fan of Snickers (my favourite chocolate bar is Mars) so this was just okay for me.

MADGE CAFE

If you live in Iloilo you’re bound to hear about this wondrous place called Madge Cafe, located inside Lapaz Public Market, which supposedly has the best coffee in the city. Madge is also the oldest kapihan (coffeehouse) in Iloilo. I suggest you don’t come here if you’re used to Starbucks or Coffee Break ‘coffee’ because Madge brews their own coffee and it’s a far cry from those commercialised crap. Each mug costs only P20!

CASHEW ROCA

Nothing. I just wanted to profess my love for this.

OCEAN CITY BISTRO, Iloilo Ayala Technohub

Baked scallops, chicken teriyaki noodles, sizzling crab meat = all delicious!

My friend (and frequent partner-in-crime) Poch and I decided to try out this place after seeing a banner while on the way to my house. It piqued our interest because a) it said “ANGUS BURGERS” and b) it was hanging at the Shell gasoline station along Diversion Road. Oh, man. OH, MAN. IT WAS GOOD. Everything was good! So we each got a 100g burger, which costs P130 (a 200g burger costs P190) and comes with a side of fries. Actually, I really liked the burger, but those fries were my favourite! We also each got raspberry iced tea (P45) which was delicious as well. I’d really love to go back there soon.

Random Food Alert

First of all, sorry we haven’t posted in ages. We all just got more than a little busy with real life (a.k.a. education) that’s all.

So my dad, sister and I are in Manila for…well, just for kicks I suppose and we had nothing to do so we just basically went from mall to mall. We eventually ended up in MoA (SM Mall of Asia, to our non-Filipino followers) because my dad wanted to see/take pictures of the sunset from Manila Bay. Then sunset came and the sun was practically covered by clouds so…yeah.

Anyways the point of this post is…there is no point! LOL I just wanna randomly talk about some of the food I ate today (if you wanna run, run now!).

Kitchenette, Jakarta

Hi ! This place was recommended to me by our friend Tantya, who has just recently told me that it serves a delicious, mood-changing galette dish. A galette is a buckwheat-crepe, usually served savory, instead of sweet. This particular one was from a restaurant called Kitchenette, in Plaza Indonesia (again. So many new restaurants in this place), which specializes in crepes.

I was recommended the Edouard galette: with mushrooms, salad greens, mozarella, and turkey ham as the filling, so I ordered that, whilst my aunt ordered this other galette with a sunny-side up and mini burgers on it (I forgot the name of that one). We also ordered salad as appetizers! Egg Salad (pictured on the left) and Tabbouleh with bits of couscous (right). They were okay. 


Now moving on to the galettes, I KNOW the one with the egg looks far more appetizing, but I was pleasantly surprised that my dish tasted better. By far. The Egg galette (is what we will refer to it), tasted dry and sort of bland. The Edouard, however, had the perfect amount of mushrooms and cheese, and most importantly: the sauce. I don’t know what sauce they used, it sort of tasted like mayonnaise, but not as rich. I think that in this case the sauce made all the difference. I finished the sauce about halfway-through, but I didn’t ask for some more, because I was already full anyway and didn’t end up finishing it.
 

The only thing that I sort of felt iffy about is the fact that they used buckwheat flour for the savory crepes (hence galettes); and I don’t like buckwheat flour in my pastry.I also highly recommend the Old-Fashioned Lemonade to have as a drink, it’s really good!




  • Food: Better than average. The highlight of the day was the lemonade, though.
  • Place: Comfortable, rustic, but really crowded. Reservations are recommended.
  • Price: Rather expensive. Prepare to spend up to Rp. 150, 000 per person (or more if you order more)
  • Overall: A 2.77 out of 5.

Cheerios,
