I first encountered The Romulo Food Group when  I was invited to try Tito Chef Express three years ago.  It was such a satisfying experience so when I was invited to the grand opening of Lazat Fil-Asian Restaurant & Bar, I had high expectations.


I am familiar that this place used to be Cerchio.  And, now it's rebranded to be Lazat which in Malay means “delicious”.

I love the interiors of the place.   The theme seems to be with related with sqaures and nature. 

The party took place on the second floor with a food buffet and unlimited bar cocktails.
 
They also have an Al Fresco area which is my ideal chill place.



I could also settle for this area for more privacy.  

Food

 
Soup 

♥ Bulalo Ramen

 Through their Bulalo Ramen, guests are already hinted with their Filipino and Asian fusion concept.

Appetizers

Asian Style Nachos

♥ Singaporean Crispy Squid

The menu is expansive.  All the items were interesting. 

Calamares Fritos

Old favorites are included. 

Thai Spring Rolls

♥ Fried Chicken Bao

I really loved the Fried Chicken Bao.

Dumplings

Main Entree

♥ Salted Egg Fried Chicken

Couldn't stop munching on the Salted Egg Fried Chicken.  I lost count of how many of these I ate.


Noodles

Char Kway Teow

We had a riceless meal because they offered 3 kinds of noodles!  The Char Kway Teow is the most flavorful.

 

♥ Pad Thai

Perhaps, I am biased to my favorite but I enjoyed the Pad Thai more.

♥ Bam-I

The Bam-I is also good!

Desserts

Buko Pandan

♥ Matcha Cookies

Overall, it was a great night of food and drinks.  No doubt this is another great concept by The Romulo Cafe Group.  Congratulations Lazat!  I will surely come back to try more of your offerings.

Whenever the family would crave for halo-halo, Razon's would always be the first thing on our mind.


For one reason, it was good enough. Another reason is that it has so many branches that one would be within your reach to answer your craving.

♥ Halo-Halo (100 php)

Personally, I am a huge fan of their very fine shaved ice.  But, as to their Halo-Halo as a whole? 
I sometimes feel like I'm cheated paying for an expensive price with so little toppings.  Some branches give more than the rest though.  However, it's not just quantity issue for me.  I also want more variety with my halo-halo.  To each his own I guess.  My best friend loves Razon's because she is a picky eater and the only ingredients she likes in a halo-halo are sweetened bananas, macapuno and leche flan and ironically, those are the only ones in a Razon's Halo-Halo.

Tsinoy Foodies Verdict
Razon's of Guagua no doubt serve one of the best halo-halo in the Philippines.  But, is it the best for its price?  I don't think so.
