Unlimited Cakes and Coffee at Lombardi Restaurant

After watching Captain America the First Avenger in Promenade Theater in Greenhills San Juan, we treat ourselves to a cozy snack.

We stumble on a restaurant that serves unlimited cakes and coffee for a price of 150 pesos. Cross my mind to put this into my blog. The restaurant is Lombardi located in San Juan city, that is located in Little Baguio. The restaurant also serves Italian foods like Pizza and Pasta.


The Lombardi: Cakes

Of course the why we visit the restaurant is because of their cakes.

The first cake served to us was the chocolate caramel. This cake is very sinful thats what I can say; the heavy feeling of the sweetness will easily spread to your taste buds.

The thickness of the cake is good, some kind of stuffed but not totally stuffed compared to the cakes from Red Ribbon; Red Ribbon also sells Caramel Cake to customers though. Back in college I order this cake or Black Forest when caramel cake is not available; that is there is a special occasion or I will give it to someone, so I am aware of the thickness of the cake.

The next cake we tried is the Tiramisu; I thought that Tiramisu is the same with the famous Grahams Mango Float, but I was wrong.

So we again taste the Tiramisu Cake. The taste of the cake is light because of the after taste of the Caramel Cake, but the taste of the cake is also good. The only thing that I have notice is the Broas on the cake, well the Broas is soft already, or maybe I used to eat Broas soft but crunchy.

The last one we tried is the Devil's Cake; the why this would be the last one is because we are already full.

This cake is a chocolate cake; compared to the Caramel Cake that was served to us earlier this cake is also lighter to our taste buds; not too sweet, not to bland; just right.

The Lombardi: Coffee

Based on the taste of my brother and his friend. The coffee is just fine; coffee was brewed and there is no problem on it.

We usually do a foodtrip with my brother by going to "eat all you can" restaurant. If you want to experience a sweet foodtrip then I suggest this restaurant.

Tower Burger by KFC / Kentucky Fried Chicken a Towering Experience.

KFC Tower Burger


KFC or Kentucky Fried Chicken never failed me to impress especially when they are releasing new product or food to Filipino customers. This week I saw a new advertisement from the company introducing a new food product Filipinos will come to the store; and that would be the KFC Tower Burger.

I went to a nearest KFC store in our place to try the new product by KFC. The price for this on was tagged at 110 pesos for the Ala-carte and 170 pesos for the combo meal. The cashier advises me to wait for a minute for my order. I was so excited to taste this one and then I saw the crew carrying my order; The customer service of KFC nagtahan is great since my college days and they are operating 24 hours again.

Having a new design and look for the new chicken burger is good; much better to the packaging of their previous product KFC Zinger. The image of the burger on the packaging seems she is playing with you; do you see the cheese on it? Looks like a tongue right?


KFC Tower Burger: The Sandwich

Anyway I opened the box and there it was; the new chicken burger of KFC. It looks like the KFC Zinger but it is not because this sandwich is stuffed with a mayo, lettuce, hash brown, cheese, and of course the chicken patties that you can see on the packaging; the chicken patty is also used on their other product the "Double Down". The said burger was big that when I opened my mouth it won't fit in; well just a quarter maybe of the burger fits to my mouth to the point that crumbles of the sandwich starts to fall into the box. Added to the that the mayo starts to crawl in into my finger that you will lick it to stop it. Another definition of "Finger Lickin Good". The preparation of the sandwich is similar to the sandwich of stackers. Stackers is a restaurant that is located in Eastwood City Libis; offers a wide variety of sandwiches.

If you want to try this new food product from KFC well you better go to the nearest KFC store and grab one.

The food will not fail your expectation to satisfy your urge for food. All stuffed in plus matched with a fries and a drink; trust me you will not again eat for a 24 hr period. Sorry I just exaggerate the last part though. I better prepare a cup of green tea and make a kilometer walk on this.

Food Trippings: Banchetto Experience @ Forums


banchetto at forums, banchetto philippines, urban life manila, urban living manila, urban lifestyle, mandaluyong city

Banchetto is an event here in the Philippines that they closed a street and sells a variety of food for people. The 1st time that I went to a Banchetto is in Ortigas last two years ago and the food that I've bought on that event is a persian food called "Shawarma" this food is very delicious; they stuffed it with meat and vegetable. Last month I tried to visit Banchetto in Ortigas and feel to environment; sadly the event was moved to another place.

Yesterday we went to Banchetto in Pioneer (that is located in Mandaluyong City Philippines). I called it as a "Banchetto at Forums" The first thing that I recognized on the place is the crowd; people working from BPO industry like call center agents, technical support, back office peoples (from companies like Accenture, SITEL Philippines, West Business Services, US Autoparts, and Global Payment), and other workers that are not working on the said industry the same thing when you go in Ortigas before.

The place is small compared in Ortigas; in Ortigas they closed half of the Emerald Avenue every friday night from 12 midnight until ten in the morning; that would be saturday morning compared in Mandaluyong a small parking lot was alloted to the event. Of course Banchetto is all about FOOD!!

The signatures like the monster burger, Shawarma, fruit shakes, the Dynamite (Green Pepper wrapped in Lumpia wrapper; stuffed with ground beef and cheese), and Blueberry Cheesecake.

One thing that I find that is interesting on the event is the booth of the cute Koreans. They served their Korean delicacies to the crowd. What I like most is their Korean Bread.

This bread is HUGE! Larger than my palm. Gosh! For 40 pesos you can buy this bread. Not bad because it is stuffed with Starberry Jam, Peanut Butter, some whipped cream, and this is an oven baked. The other one that is so good is the Oranged Empenada. This food was stuffed with egg, Longanisa, and Papaya. For 50 pesos you can have also this food. Other than that the place is wonderful you can view the Robinson's Cybergate One, Two, and Three which is owned by Robinson's group.

Other than that there is also a condominium that is for sale. In that area you can see the Robinson's Pioneer; a shopping mall owned and operated by Robinson's group. A very strategic place if you are an urban individual.

I have a good time especially my tummy; have not eaten the whole day today because of the Korean Bread that is AWESOME!! The next stop would be Banchetto in Libis. That would be every tuesday from nine pm to four in the morning.
