  1. Potato theme Thanksgiving menu at Lolo Dad’s Brasserie

    November 23, 2010 by ajay

    Now that it’s Thanksgiving 2010 ( celebrated in the US on Thursday, November 25), what are you thankful for this year? I can think of a few heartfelt things … a safe, happy home; the love of my husband; the birth of our baby Lucy; and feeling all of God’s abundant grace. I feel that am not wanting of things right now if I choose to live life simply, and to think that life is not a race to be rich or have the biggest house on the road. Instead, I will aim to see the world and savor quality moments with my family and people who matter because indeed, life is short.

    With this thought in mind, we went on to enjoy a potato-theme dinner at Lolo Dad’s Brasserie ahead of Thanksgiving Day. Trust on Chef Ariel Manuel to come up with gourmet dishes on the everyday potatoes we love. The brasserie has tied up with the US Potato Board to whip up a special Thanksgiving menu which will be available from November 22-27, 2010 at P2,500, good for four courses. Trust us, it will be worth it.

    On the table:

    Chilled scallops, smoked prawn and Dungeness crab salad, mico greens, cucumber and frozen potato slices ….

  2. Lolo Dad’s and other great places to have a Valentine’s Day dinner date in Manila

    February 13, 2010 by ajay

    I’ve been working in the City of Manila for the longest time. Even though the place is “decaying” due to the rise of more contemporary restaurant strips in The Fort, Makati and beyond, some good ol’ places still remain. Here are some suggestions on where to take your loved one for a Valentine’s Day date in Manila:

    1. Restaurant Le Bellevue on the 27th floor of the Manila Diamond Hotel is a favorite for viewing the bright lights of the bay-enclosed city, while savoring French cuisine

    2. Cosa Nostra on Adriatico St. Malate is the cutest little spot in Manila. A small hang-out with five or six tables. Be sure to talk in whispers while you’re munching on your salad and pasta

    3. I’d also go to another Malate mainstay, Cafe Adriatico, for a nightcap over coffee and Claude’s Dream, their divine-tasting buko pandan dessert

    4. White Moon Bar, a new open air hangout at the Manila Ocean Park looks cozy enough. The perfect spot for enjoying the bay breeze and Manila’s famous sunset while lounging in their comfy sofas

    5. Harbor View, another popular open-air restaurant with mainly Filipino cuisine on the menu

    6. Harbour Square at the CCP Complex. I think of this place as the new Luneta – albeit a small version – where you can HHWW (hold hands while walking) amid a view of the buildings in Roxas Boulevard and the ships sailing Manila Bay :D

    7. Don’t count out the Walled City of Intramuros too, and having dinner in the legendary Ilustrado Restaurant. I love their pastries!

    8. Summer’s safe enough to try a Manila Bay dinner cruise. You can choose to just sail, or sail while partaking of a buffet for the price of P495. Another alternative is cruising in a 70-foot yacht by Realship Corp amid food, wine and piano music. All of the boats dock in the CCP Complex

    9. And then there’s Lolo Dad’s.

    Hubby and I had dinner here during our wedding anniversary recently. He liked very much the food at Lolo Dad’s Brasserie in 6750 Ayala Avenue, Makati and so I wasted no time in telling him that they also have a restaurant in Manila.
