Foodtrip, Inc. Part 3

In continuation of our eating spree we forced our friend, the Board Topnotcher to treat us to dinner at my behest. Of all the restaurants that line Technohub we dined at Kanin Club, where I initially hesitated because I thought they only serve kanin. Pathetic.


The beef steak and the binagoongan were good and it became clear to me why they call themselves Kanin Club. It's because they make you eat rice a lot. Ironically, there's nothing special in it. When I'm very hungry it's all the same to me.

We also set out to try the cakes at Maginhawa in UP Village. The original plan was to try the ice cream frozen by liquid nitrogen (if you worry about toxicity, liquid nitrogen is harmless in this particular) however their small store was already crowded with customers and we can't get in. I tried their Brazo de Mercedes and my friend tried the decadent chocolate cake. Based on our reactions, we did not regret not going for the ice cream. 




The cake shop (I forgot the name, goodness) in Maginhawa was small but neat, has nice, soft lighting and relatively quiet. They have books and boardgames stacked in one corner together with colored pens which you use in case you want to pin a shoutout or message in their wall.


Did I posted something? Of course, I did. I was hoping that the right person might be able to read it but ironically I posted it there because I am sure he won't.

Anyway I have mentioned the delectable halo-halo of Razon's but the conventional halo-halo must be found. We had it at Icebergs at SM North Edsa after watching Dark Shadows which was very, very dark except for Johnny Depp. The movie was overrated because he was there and I swear I wished I watched the Avengers for the second time instead. 
Beside the halo-halo is the fries.

One interesting find in UP Shopping Center: Korean ice cream sandwich. Didn't really try it because I'd rather spend my money on Rodic's tapsilog but my friends say it was great.


On my last dinner date with friends before going back to Dipolog we tried KKK at SM North Edsa. I don't know what message they were trying to deliver but during that time I was as hungry as a Katipunero. There was a battlecry of hunger and as their slogan suggests, a food revolution. 


Indeed, the pinakbet and kaldereta served by waiters dressed as Katipuneros were great. Don't read that wrong. The pinakbet and kaldereta were great, not the waiters dressed as Katipuneros. 


Right now I am looking forward to coming back and be with my friends for another foodtrip. I slunked home with a heavy heart because I haven't tried that famous isaw of Mang Larry! Ha ha.
