It's a huge commercial and residential compound, its developer set it up like in a Santorini Mediterranean style of buildings and a boutique hotel all painted in white. The place is kinda hard to find if you're an out of towner. You may try using Waze GPS, it might help. We ordered Paella de Marisco, Sulpicao, Callos and Gambas. They offered as starter freshly sliced baked baguette with 4 special dips specially made by Chef Arnaldo. I liked the aioli and balsamic dips. Their Gambas as an appetizer were made of seasoned grilled mushroom, tomatoes and succulent shrimps. It's delicious. The Callos were made from scratched. Taste great. The Paella de Marisco a seafood with chicken mixed seasoned yellow rice and chorizo served on a pan is delicious. Their Sulpicao is the authentic Spanish dish. The beef is tender, soft and moist. The mushrooms were marinated, soft and tender. It's delicious! Serving staff are helpful and courteous. Their food is pricey, serving is small. The developer requires that no trees should be cut within the compound to give way to the structures. Don't be surprised if you see a living trunk of a tree inside El Cocinero's bathroom and dining area. Small clean neutral gender bathroom.

The condiments for the bread were varied - sweet, tangy, creamy - it was tempting to stuff yourself before your meal arrived. We had some nice and light chicken soup with Jason Iberrico. The paella marisco was tasty and well done and the salpicao was delicious. All in all, worth a trip off the beaten path if you're not staying in the hotel!

On entering the restaurant, one cannot but notice the well-appointed red tablecloth tables with cloth napkins. The dishes at our disposal were many. They were Gambas (shrimp) in garlic and oil, potato croquettes, Spanish sausage, baked oysters, mushrooms, crostini with dip, chicken, spinach pizza and of course, seafood paella. To add to the cozy ambiance of this restaurant were three singers with Spanish guitars, serenading the audience in the restaurant. Our group got several renditions of Spanish ballads including, "Guantanamera". We sang along for this one. All the dishes were prepared well and highlighted their own distinct taste and flavors. My favorites were the croquettes, the baked oysters and the seafood paella. The croquettes were crisp on the outside and soft on the inside. The oysters though small, came 12 to a plate and were moist and well charred to bring out the baked parmesan fragrance. The seafood paella was the crown jewel of the evening. It contained several seafood varieties and was made fresh. It came out slightly charred at the bottom, as does any good paella. When scraped, mixed with the other contents, and eaten, one is rewarded with several bursts of aroma and taste. Table service was excellent. Muchas Gracias, Senores y Senoras.

Delicious and surprisingly, affordable. They serve their classic churros fresh and hot, and the hot chocolate dip dark and rich. Everything about it makes me think of #rainydaygoals hahaha. Their chocolate-covered churros are served cold, which can be paired perfectly with their latte. We had those big order of classic churros (around 12?), a couple of flavored ones (Dulce de Leche for the win!) and some choco-coated churros for a little over 500 pesos. Not bad, eh? I must say, I'm quite impressed with their menu and value for money. I'll definitely be back soon to try their breakfast sets (French Toast sounds good!).

This was a pleasant discovery when the hubby had a company activity in Seda Hotel Nuvali. We were…read morein search for a new restaurant to try and Caldo in the Fiesta Mall was the first to catch our eye. It's perfect as we had our fur babies with us and they have outside seating. Browsing the menu, you can get a feel that it has been well though of They have a good selection of vegetables and meat dishes. They all looked so good that it was hard to settle with just a few. We started out with some appetizers in the fashion of Filipino street food with the gambas+longanisa and satay sampler. But even prior to that, we were given bread with pate while waiting for our orders. We couldn't decide on what to order so we got both the chicken and chorizo rice and garlic aligue rice with chicharron. We matched these with the grilled beef belly and ox tail and trip kare kare. As if these were not enough, we also sampled the paksiw na boneless bangus belly with roasted coconut. Unlike the traditional paksiw with the more prominent sour taste of the vinegar, I liked this better because the coconut added some sweetness to it. Because we loved it so much and we didn't get to taste the pork belly, we came back for a second time. We again had the same set of rice, but this time we made sure we had the roast pork belly with tamarind rub. we were not able to try it the first time as we were too early. Apparently it takes a lot of time to prepare and does not get available until after noon. We also had the laing con alamang fresco. I like laing and this, I love. It can be on the expensive side. But the portions are adequate. This is now a favorite spot for me and the hubby

A bit tricky to spot, the only way to find Ning's Thai is through spotting its sign right along the Grove. Don't be alarmed if what you see next is a tiny alley, since if you do, then you're in the right place. Just walk through it and at the end of that is (thankfully) some open space and a nice cozy house waiting for you - and that house is in fact Ning's Thai! Dining in this home-turned-into-diner offers a unique experience, mainly in the sense that it actually feels like you're a guest in their home. What to try? I highly suggest their Pad Thai and Pad Kra Kao, or maybe their Bagoong rice as well. But, be sure to get a ton of water though, since besides the heat of the food, the place in itself is stuffy!
