Cibo

             I had a light dinner at Cibo Restaurant last night before going to a movie marathon in Gateway Mall. I haven’t been in Cibo in ages. The last time was years ago with my ex.

            Since, I am cutting down on carbohydrates and meat. I ordered Tonno Panini if translated in English it would be tuna sandwich. For drinks, I ordered the house iced tea. The staff was highly attentive since I was the only dining at the main area and I think there were 2 or 3 tables that were occupied at the back side which I couldn’t see from where I was seated.

             My overall dining experience was good although the tuna sandwich was a bit dry and I wanted s more chips. The tall glass of iced tea was refreshing. The total cost was 262.51 Pesos.

Nommu Bar

     Once a week, we go to our favorite bar and restaurant called Nommu. We would have late dinner there or just pica-pica with cocktails and drinks.They have good food and good background music.

     I ordered Salmon teriyaki and my partner ordered Chicken teriyaki. Both rice dishes include a bowl of Miso Soup. I ordered my favorite sizzling sausage and it was as tasty as ever. My partner paid 801.90 Pesos for the total bill. 

Beso Cucina Vinoteka

     I bought a voucher for 2 for Beso Cucina Vinoteka at Deal Grocer.  The restaurant is located at UG/F Bonifacio High Street Central, East Superblock, 7th Ave. corner 29^th St., Fort Bonifacio, Taguig.

     The restaurant has a bar outside. We were greeted by the waiter upon entering and then, we were led to our table. The waiter asked for my voucher and a valid ID.

     After a few minutes the 2 glasses of iced tea were served and while waiting for the appetizer we heard a bit of a commotion. A middle aged lady with her kids was arguing with the waiter then the manager of the restaurant because apparently she wanted to take out her leftover food. The manager explained to her that the food is for dine in only. I guess the lady failed to read the voucher that all food and drinks are strictly for dine in only. She didn’t have to make a scene. Her younger son was hiding his face with his hands in shame. Nevertheless, the manager was accommodating and gave in to the lady’s wishes. Later on, the manager went to our table to apologize for the unfortunate incident with the middle-aged lady.

     Soon after that, our appetizers were brought in. The grilled sardines with rock salt, lemon and parsley was good (my favorite) and the Spicy pork meat balls had a tinge of Indian spices. As for the main course, we had the Ox tail and White Bean Fabada on Fideo and Olive oil it was delicious. For dessert, we had Crema Catalana. All of these were purchased at 695 Pesos. We ordered Apple juice, Café latte and English breakfast separately since it was not included from the deal.

      The restaurant’s service was prompt and the staff was courteous. It was a superb dining experience at Beso Cucina Vinoteka. Thumbs up!
