August 20, 2009. Edd, Shake, Choi and Zen were chillin at the Terraces waiting for me to log off from work. It was already 830pm and my wormies are now grumbling! And we are off to Bigby's Cafe!

Since everyone else have already eaten their dinner, I was the only person who ordered an entree. For appetizers, I ordered a Full Tijuana Quesadilla with Mexican Chicken (Price: 185php). Flour tortilla flavored with cheese and garlic and with Mexican Chicken! The Fresh Salsa made this appetizer delectable.

I ordered Rodeo Chops( Price: 220php). Two large slices of porkchops marinated and grilled side dished with buttered string beans. You could choose between gravy or cranberry for your sauce. The meat was tender but it's texture was dry. And the marinate was overpowered by the cranberry sauce that you could barely taste the meat marinate. : (

Edd and Choi ordered Strawberry Shake(Price: 65php)! Frozen strawberries blended with crushed ice and topped with a piece of strawberry fruit! Mmmmmm!

And a photo requested by the peeps on the counter! LOL

And my kapigouts that night!

6th of August, 2009, Chai, Edd, Nike and I were suppose to have a dinner meeting for our event this October 31st called Satin Eclipse. But Nike was stuck at a seminar at Coca Cola Plant, so it turned out to be just dinner. hehehe. And Greg joined the Pigout session that night!

I have to admit am a fan of Cafe Georg! I love how they use different herbs and spices on each entree making each dish unique. The chef/owner must've travelled a lot and incorporated it to the entrees on the menu. You'd notice the entrees on the menu is of different ethnicity (but mostly of European Ethnicity).

The place is cozy with warm lights and mellow music!

New on the Menu is Pork Chops with Tomato Basil Salsa (Price: 190php). This was Edd's pick which I, Edd and Chai shared. The Lemony Tomato and Basil Salsa compliments well with the tender yet a bit dry porkchop. It would have been better if there were a little bit more of the salsa. Nonetheless it was a good entree.

My pick was the California Salad (Price: 180php), which is my favorite salad in Cafe George. Crab sticks, Cucumbers, lettuce and Mangoes in a creamy sesame sauce. Yum!

Another personal Cafe Georg favorite is Cafe Georg's Classic Pork Belly(Price: 180php). Thin Pork belly slices in a sweet peppery sauce just the way I like it!

Barcelona (Price 220php) was Chai's pick. My first time to taste a fish dish at Cafe George. The steamed fish fillet in Spanish Paprika butter is a little bit oily so be sure to squeeze those lemon slices! The entree actually was quite good, that is if your a fan of fish entrees. Goes well with a rootbeer drink, doesn't it Chai? hehe

We ordered Mocha Slush( Price: 90php), Strawberry Shake(Price: 120php) and Avocado Shake (Price: 80php) for our drinks! Strawberry shake is made out of Strawberry Syrup( tastes very much like Hershey's Strawberry Syrup) which of course is sweet and topped with whipped cream.

The Seasonal Avocado Shake! ahhhh! Fresh Avocado in a Shake. Nothing Special though, just plain Avocado shake. hehehe

And for our dessert, Choco Bailey's Pana Cotta(Price: 100php)! Two Layers of Italian Custard: Swiss dark chocolate topped with Baileys Pana Cotta! Now am craving for another serving of Choco Baileys! hahaha. raaawr! Choco Baileys Pana Cotta = Love!
