If you can recall, we shared our last visit at Mercato Centrale (see previous entry) where we tried the Supreme Brazo Bars by Ces Lopez. We passed by once again just to try out more of their offerings. Upon seeing the Merry Moo wooden sign, we were instantly lured. We just couldn't resist ice cream.
According to the Merry Moo sign board, it uses fresh local dairy and offers unique and fun flavors.

As we approached the Merry Moo stall, the staff greeted us immediately and asked what flavor we want. We were glancing down looking at all the unique flavors and had a hard time deciding on what we wanted so we asked the personnel for the best seller and he recommended the "Sea Salt and Caramel" and "Earl Grey Tea".

We also had a FREE taste of each. Both were really good! The Earl Grey Tea is fragrant and refreshing with a citrus twist. But, we the found the taste of Sea Salt and Caramel more intriguing so we ordered a scoop. A scoop is reasonably priced at 70 php. They also offered a mix scoop but at a higher price.

| ♥Sea Salt and Caramel (70 php/scoop) |
Sea Salt and Caramel carries a balanced taste of both saltiness from the sea salt and sweetness from caramel. We love it! However, it may be a bit too sweet if you eat too much so we shared for this.
Update as of December 23,2019: Merry Moo has now expended to mall stores and other markets.
Tsinoy Foodies Verdict
Merry Moo offers rich and creamy ice cream with unique flavors. The Sea Salt and Caramel is certainly worth trying out. The flavors are all enticing, I want to try them all out! Any recommendation on what we should try next? =)

When you're looking for freshly made pasta and oven baked pizza in Robinson's Place, then head over to Bistro Ravioli. Although my family has dined at Bistro Ravioli SM MOA before, it was the first time for me.
Bistro Ravioli Robinson's Place Ermita has a cozy modernistic and space saving interior. My mom was so impressed with the idea too. What do you think?
Antipasti
The Grilled Foccacia with Spinach Dip is delicious! We've always loved spinach dips so we ordered two of these. The bread was served warm so it was really good to eat.
The Seafood Spaghetti in Marinara Sauce had a generous amount of ingredients. The tomatoes and seafood made this dish rich and flavorful.
Unfortunately, we were all too full for dessert. We didn't imagine that even a couple of pieces of Ravioli could be that heavy. Perhaps, we will try some on our next visit. Even without dessert, we were all very satisfied since every dish is delicious!
Update (January 2014): The Robinson's Place Ermita Branch where I ate closed down. You can try this at the other branches: Greenbelt 1 and SM Mall of Asia

| ♥Grilled Foccacia with Spinach Dip (135 php) |
 |
| Creamy Ceasar Salad (135 php) |
The Creamy Ceasar Salad came in this creative arrangement. Despite being a simple leafy salad with croutons, the Creamy Ceasar Salad's sauce brought this salad to victory.
Ravioli
Bistro Ravioli, the name by itself indicates that they take pride in their raviolis. Therefore, whenever you visit it is a must to order their freshly made ravioli.
 |
| ♥Salmon Ravioli in Saffron Cream Sauce (199 php) |
The Salmon Ravioli in Saffron Cream Sauce was not as saucy as I expected it to be. But it was okay because you are able to appreciate the natural flavors of the Salmon more. The ravioli are also cooked in perfection. The texture is just right and the taste is sealed in and unleashed in every bite.
 |
| Italian Sausage Ravioli in Romesco Sauce (199 php) |
The Italian Sausage Ravioli in Romesco Sauce is another great dish to order. The Romesco Sauce greatly complements the italian sausage fillings.
 |
| ♥Spinach and Feta Cheese Ravioli in Pesto (199 php) |
I was surprised to find see the Spinach and Feta Cheese Ravioli in Pesto to be with red sauce. This is delicious! Spinach and cheese always has its way to tickle my taste buds.
Pasta
I really loved the Puttanesca with Sun Dried Tomato! I've always been a fan of dried berries but I've never tried dried tomatoes before. It was so delicious and fun to chew to. It was sweet and full of flavor that it made the pasta sensational. On the other hand, Kurt did not like it.
The Sausage Raggu was served with an ample amount of melted cheese on top. This dish was very tasty with the sausage and olives. As a meat lover, Kurt really enjoyed this dish but he left the olives. ;)

Hidden in the midst of the commercial buildings of Ortigas District is a hole-in-the-wall diner called "Jacob's Shawarma". Jacob's Shawarma is owned by Jacob Cortes, a Turkish model who was one of the hottest Cosmo Bachelors in 2008. Yes! He is the handsome guy in the Jacob's Shawarma logo and on the menu.
Update December 3, 2019: Jacob's Shawarma has moved to two new locations:
1. Levi Mariano Avenue, Ususan, Taguig City
2.San Joaquin, Pasig City
The place is clean and simple perfect for a casual hang out with workmates and friends on any time of the day. Aside from the cashier's counter, you can view through the kitchen and watch as your food is being prepared.

| ♥12- Inch Beef and Lamb Shawarma (200 php) |
 |
| Beef and Lamb Shawarma |
The shawarma they serve is Turkish shawarma also called doner as differentiated from the Persian shawarma which is more easily available here in the Philippines. This Turkish shawarma has a lemon sauce unlike the Yogurt Sauce and Hot sauce in the Persian shawarma. Despite being 12-inch long, the Beef and Lamb Shawarma's pita is crunchy in every part since they are equally grilled by using an electric griller. A single bite on the Beef and Lamb Shawarma gives you the perfect sensation from its crisp pita, chewy juicy tasty beef and lamb meat to the aromatic taste of the herbs, tomatoes and onions.

| ♥Home-Made Ice Tea Mint (50 php) and Yogurt Drink (50 php) |
The Home-Made Ice Tea Mint is delicious and refreshing. It gives a unique cool taste that lingers in your taste buds. We really loved this drink and will surely order it again on our next visit.
The Yogurt drink was a bit tangy and not too sweet. However, it was too watery so the yogurt taste was very mild. Personally, I prefer a yogurt drink which is richer and thicker.
