Down home Pinoy cooking at La Mesa Grill
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. I’ve tried Gumbo, made a mental note to go to Highlands Steak House (because their prime rib in Tagaytay was unforgettable) and munched on the usual fastfood places like Oki Oki, Teriyaki Boy and Kopi Roti.
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.

Vote for EMAN on Pinoy Dream Academy
I have this guilty pleasure, and it’s watching ABS-CBN’s Pinoy Dream Academy whenever I have the time. Got on PDA mostly because one of the scholars, Eman, is my officemate’s beloved adopted brother. Eman is a talented singer/composer and he’s the pride of all Ilonggos in this reality talent show. We’d really love to see him in the finals and the last thing we’d like to see is for him to be voted/booted out, something which we will find out tomorrow, 9:30 pm, when PDA’s next edition unfolds.
Do me a favor and help keep Eman at the Academy by text voting ~ PDA EMAN then send to 231 for Smart & TalknText, PDA EMAN then send to 2331 for Globe, Touch Mobile & Sun subscribers. You may also vote here.
Counting on ya!
