Sentro 1771

We've already tried dining at Sentro 1771 in one of our benchmarking activities because of their famous Sinigang na Corned Beef. It's indeed good to come back. We all liked the food that we ordered. The Corned Beef Sinigang is delicious with the right sourness. Only the beef flakes is a little chewy. We were surprised by their version of Green Mango Salad. They used a different salad dressing not the typical bagoong. The tangyness of mango complemented the soy sauce (that of japanese type). The Maya Maya Escabeche is tasty as well. The fish is cooked just right (not tough) and the sauted / garlic note is pronounced but acceptable. The only dish that did not satisfy our palate much is the Hofan. It's too oily and almost bland. Overall, we'll rate the food 4 spoons for the taste, presentation and originality. Restaurant's ambiance is also homey so you can relax while waiting for your food to arrive. Service, we'll also give it 4 spoons. If there's one thing that'll keep us from dining here more often, it's the price. It's a little pricey for us. There are more restaurants out there which are really great at the same time affordable.

Tokwa't Baboy with Tausi (Tofu & Pork with Black Beans)

Image
Tokwa to Pinoys in the Philippines, Tofu to others, Bean Curd to literally translate it, is a very popular and widely used food ingredient in Filipino Cuisine. Philippines had its own share of Chinese culture and its influence transcends all the way to our plate. That's why, enormous dishes of Chinese origin typically frequents our dining table. Tofu in particular, comes with a variety of delightful chows. If you ask Pinoys (Filipinos) to name one popular local appetizer, without a doubt Tokwa't Baboy (Tofu and Pork) will be the top of mind. It's a dish typically made of strips of fried tofu and pork, bathed in soy sauce and vinegar added with spices like onion and garlic. Another favorite of this kind is Tokwa't Baboy with Tausi (Tofu & Pork with Black Beans). The manner of its preparation or cooking depends on ones own liking. In our case, as taught by my aunt, we like our version to be sweet and generously garnished with Kinchay (Chinese Celery) and spring ...

Villa Gregoria Terrace Resort, Nagcarlan, Laguna

Image
When you have small kids to bring with in any out of town activities during summer, you were always limited with nearer locations to choose and shorter distance to travel. We're one of those who were faced with this kind of dilemma. Those who have killer twos and tots will probably agree with me on this. Fortunately, there are spots that are still equally enjoyable nearby. Many have recommended VILLA GREGORIA TERRACE RESORT for an out of town summer day trip. It sits in a breezy, richly filled nature in Brgy. Buboy, Nagcarlan, Laguna. To prove that indeed it's one of the hottest spots in the area, the resort was awarded by Governor Ningning Lazaro as the cleanest and best landscaped resort in Laguna in 2006. You will be greeted at the entrance gate of the resort by no less than its congratulatory banner. Approximately 2 hrs away from Manila, Villa Gregoria offers a cool nature ambiance to its visitors. The water is really cold. No need to worry though, for it will just count...
