Friday Food Trip: Almon Marina + Yellow Cab + Red Mango

When: October 1, 2010

A major glitch happened in my peak-performing team yesterday which disappointed quite a few, myself included. To counter my disappointment, I went to Booksale and purchased three books, which instantly gave me a high. Then, all of a sudden, my tummy made a funny noise. So the big part of my disappointment became clear: I was hungry. Hahaha! Since I logged off early from work, it means I had to wait for BF. But my tummy can't wait no longer so I opted to eat alone.  I chose Almon Marina since  it's not too crowded for a Friday afternoon and apparently they serve healthy meals. Yes, I'm still trying to lose weight and succeeding at it. :)

 

Soup of the day: beef minestrone (Php 72)

 Crepe asparagus (Php 37) ~ with ham, pickles and asparagus slices

Schweppes ginger ale (Php 50)

For a light meal, it was very satisfying. It was also nostalgic for me when I found out that they serve ginger ale. This is one beverage that reminds me of my first trip abroad. It certainly evoked happy memories. Halfway through my meal, BF arrived from work. Talk about bad, er, good timing. :) I had no choice but to accompany him and eventually partake in his own food trip. Hey, for the record, I lost a couple of inches in my waistline. Thanks to my no-rice-for-dinner campaign.

 Chicken alfredo pasta (Php 215)

Yellow Cab is one of our favorite meal spots and chicken alfredo pasta is our mutual favorite. Yum, said my eyes. Self-control is the key.

 

Hot wings (P210) ~ 4 pieces of crispy and juicy chicken wings in Yellow Cab's spicy wing sauce

I've been hankering for chicken wings for the past few days and Yellow Cab's version didn't disappoint. Perfect finger food.

 Green tea frozen yogurt (Php 120 for 6 oz.)

This overwhelming challenge to lose weight is not easy. Since I don't intend to destroy what I've started, I chose a healthy dessert. Red Mango's green tea fro-yo is simply delicious! :)
