So far it’s been a frustrating experience scouring dining finds at the Mall of Asia. Not because of the quality of the food but because the place is simply too big (and segmented) to try everything.

One MOA establishment I’ve tried several times now is La Mesa Grill. I first went here during my last birthday upon the recommendation of my friend Jimi who said it was owned by Sharon Cuneta. Turns out it was Sharon’s husband, Senator Kiko who’s a business partner of the resto. Nonetheless, Sharon’s touch is still evident because of the roster of Original Pilipino Music pervading in the background. OPM like The Boyfriends, VST & Co. Apo Hiking Society and the classic “Mr. DJ.”
