These past few months, I've been spending most of my time doing inner work so it was timely for the family to drag me out for an intimate family dinner at Bon Appetit at 1120 House.
I would recommend booking a reservation when dining on weekends.
On top of enjoying the food and drinks, my family has recently placed great emphasis on the dining ambiance.
Thus, they made sure to reserve this poolside function room in advance.
Food
 |
| Complimentary Chips |
The service is very good. Upon ordering we were served some Complimentary Chips.
Soups!
 |
| French Onion Soup (380 php) |
We began our lovely dinner with a hot bowl of French Onion Soup which we requested to be split into two.
 |
| Steak and Eggs (1,300 php) |
As exemplified by this big plate of Steak and Eggs, the dishes were presented lavishingly, complementing the aesthetic interiors.
 |
| ♥ Salmon Raclette (790 php) |
Each dish has its own unique appeal in appearance and flavor. This Salmon Raclette perhaps stood out slightly above the rest.
 |
| ♥ Lamb Madras Curry (900 php) |
The Lamb Madras Curry was beyond our expectation considering that it was not specialized in that kind of cuisine.
 |
| ♥ Grilled Seabass and Risotto (1,600 php) |
The priciest dish we got was the Grilled Seabass and Risotto and well as you can see, they did use quality seabass so it doesn't disappoint as well.
Pasta
 |
| Mushroom Alfredo (550 php) |
For a bang for the buck choice, you can go for this Mushroom Alfredo.
Sandwiches
 |
| ♥ Truffle Grilled Cheese with Bacon Jam (650 php) |
They also serve the delicious sandwiches. This Truffle Grilled Cheese with Bacon Jam with chips on the side is quite satisfying.
Bon Bakery
 |
| ♥ Signature Chocolate Cake |
The rich and decadent Signature Chocolate Cake was a nice meal ender.
Juice, Coffee, Tea
 |
| Cafe Latte (150 php) |
Of course, we had them with our choice of coffee and...
 |
| Fresh Tarragon Tea (135 php) |
tea.
If you're looking for a charmingly cafe to enjoy the comfort of delicious and wholesome foods over soulful conversations then go for Bon Appetit at 1120 House.

Nobu Restaurant Manila: Birthday Dinner at Nobu's Floating Cabanas (City of Dreams Parañaque Metro Manila)
Parañaque, Metro Manila, Philippines
The family has been eyeing on dining at Nobu Restaurant Manila's Floating Cabanas for some time now.
Because of the pricey consumable of 10,000 php, we had to save it for a special occassion.
Quite noticeable that more diners prefer the floating cabanas too.
So it requires advance reservation and almost always fully booked on weekends.
Though the indoor ambiance is pretty good too, it's not as unique as the floating cabanas.
Food
Assorted Platter
 |
| Nobu Pacific Rim Platter (2,880 php) |
The service was a bit slow. The first to arrive after a long wait is the Nobu Pacific Rim Platter. The quality of the seafood is good but the slice and sushi rice falls short considering the high price point.
Sushi/Maki
 |
| Salmon Avocado Cut Roll (490 php) |
We had the same disappointment with the Salmon Avocado Cut Roll too. Just look at the form...
Nobu Dishes Hot
 |
| ♥ Rock Shrimp Tempura with Butter Ponzu (1,200 php) |
The Rock Shrimp Tempura with Butter Ponzu is a popular choice among Nobu diners as we've seen from other reviews. We have to agree! This is pretty good.
Tobanyaki
Another good option that's filling for beef lovers is the Australian Grass Fed Beef Tenderloin Tobanyaki.
 |
| ♥ Australian Grass Fed Beef Tenderloin Tobanyaki (2,800 php) |
Another good option that's filling for beef lovers is the Australian Grass Fed Beef Tenderloin Tobanyaki.
 |
| Mixed Seafood Tobanyaki (1,720 php) |
If you prefer seafood then its Mixed Seafood Tobanyaki for you.
Nobu Yakimono
 |
| Free Range Chicken with Antichucho Sauce (1,080 php) |
The Free Range Chicken with Antichucho Sauce is quite dry. Better skip this.
 |
| US Prime Tenderloin with Wasabi Pepper Sauce (2,800 php) |
The US Prime Tenderloin with Wasabi Pepper Sauce is also just passable.
 |
| Complimentary Birthday Cake |
Though the service was terrible that even a glass of water took so long with many follow-ups, we were glad that they gave Complimentary Birthday Cake.
We've definitely tried better hotel dishes elsewhere. The dishes were really expensive that our total bill including drinks was almost double the minimum consumable amount. The service was also the worst we've experienced from any hotel restaurant. Yet, for such stunning one-of-a-kind Nobu Restaurant Manila Floating Cabana experience, we'd happily dine there again.

Choi Garden Seascape Village: Cantonese Cuisine Legacy Continues (Pasay Metro Manila)
Pasay, Metro Manila, Philippines
For Chinese dining in with big groups, whether indoor or al fresco, Choi Garden in Seascape Village is a good choice as it has the longest prestige among all Chinese restaurants there.
 |
| Choi Garden Seascape Village |
The Choi Garden Seascape Village offers dine in with function rooms and al fresco dining. We opted the latter because we get to enjoy the sea breeze and the live band.
Food
Soup
 |
| Diced Wintermelon Assorted Meat Soup (840php/L) |
The Diced Wintermelon Assorted Meat Soup is something new for us. It was definitely a more affordable option than the Shark's Fin Soup but not far of in terms of taste and texture.
 |
| Sliced Beef with Black Pepper Sauce |
The Sliced Beef with Black Pepper Sauce is a classic favorite.
 |
| Steamed Chicken with Black Mushroom & Chinese Sausage |
If you're looking for something savory and tender, the Steamed Chicken with Black Mushroom & Chinese Sausage is a good choice.
 |
| Fried Crispy Pigeon (750 php/pc) |
For our family, a chinese dining occassion without a Fried Crispy Pigeon is a crime.
 |
| Steamed Crab w/ Glutinuous Rice |
Another must orders for our elders in every family celebration are crabs. This time we tried the Steamed Crab w/ Glutinuous Rice and it didn't disappoint.
 |
| Steamed Crab w/ Glutinuous Rice |
As you can see, it is generous both in terms of king crabs and glutinous rice.
 |
| Birthday Noodles |
The Birthday Noodles is another usual order.
 |
| Mango Sago (210 php) |
The Mango Sago is most appreciated when given as a complimentary.
