Dinner at Cafe Bola

There are only three chow places I like in Greenbelt: Cyma, Cafe Breton and Cafe Bola. We found a cheaper alternative for our Cyma craving at Shawarma Snack Center in Ermita so we opted to go to Cafe Bola. Everythin on Cafe Bola's menu screams comfort but like in Red Mango, I always order for the same thing: Spicy Tuyo Fillet + Scrambled Eggs + Wansoy Salsa. This heaven on a plate can be had for less than 200 bucks!

SKP's usual order here is the Adobong Pusit however he didn't feel like having rice so he ordered Potato Soup and Chicken Bola sandwich instead. The bill was half of that from Manna Garden but equally satisfying :)

Here are some photos:

My all time favorite, Spicy Tuyo Fillet

Surreality in one sitting

After a HIGHlarious time watching Hangover, we went to Powerbooks. They were having a Power Sale which was pretty awesome. SKP got four hard bound books for a little over 500 bucks. He also got a VHS for 9 bucks hahaha!

I never buy books though. I like reading but I don't like buying them because I'm stingy like that :P I left SKP to decide which ones he like to get and I looked for the most inneresting looking book. I picked up Surreality by New York-based writer Carissa Villacorta, made myself comfortable at one of the couches in Powerbooks and started to read.

Surreality is the New York version of Twisted by Jessica Zafra without the angst :p It is a compilation of some of the articles Carissa have written for Manila and US publications. It is her story of following dreams without completely leaving out what should matter most like family and friends in a city that never sleeps. It is about creating your own memories, learning from others, being ready for anything life throws at you and having fun while doing so.

I was able to finish it about the same time SKP has finished deciding which books he'd like to get.

Dessert at Red Mango

I told SKP I wanted to catch two movies, Up and Hangover but we finished lunch at 3 and the next movie screening is at 5 so I had to choose between Up and Hangover. I opted Hangover :)

Greenbelt was the destination after the Manna Garden lunch. While lining up to get tickets, I saw a roll up banner that woke me up from my Umami overdose, Red Mango, our favorite dessert place in Eastwood has opened a new branch in Greenbelt, yey! I didn't need to coax SKP into going there because we both love the place. Out of all the frozen yogurt places we have tried, this was really the best. We order the same thing all the time: green tea frozen yogurt. Super refreshing! SKP usually gets his plain, mine I add almond slivers :)

I kinda like the Greenbelt branch better. It is bigger, with more comfortable couches plus a wonderful view of ermmm Makati buildings :)
