Borgo Cafe

When I experience a really good restaurant, I tend to tell my friends about it over and over and over again, until it's nakakainis na! Sometimes, I forget that I already told a particular group about it, and then rave about the restaurant for another round! Perhaps another reason why I need a blog, as an outlet for my raves. I'm always exhilarated by inexpensive good finds.

Borgo Cafe in BF is a restaurant that I have been insisting to all my friends to visit. It is a small restaurant in BF Homes, along Aguirre Avenue. It's a hop and skip away from our favorite massage place, Ruyifang. If you're familiar with BF Homes, it's right across South Diner. J and I have been there several times, but it's only this time that I remembered to take pictures of the food so I could write about it. 
What initially lured J and I was the P499 Steak-All-You-Can Anniversary promo that they had. When I got there though and saw the big servings the other customers were having, I chickened out and ordered the a-la-carte steak instead (which was DELICIOUS). J tried the SAYC and got as far as 2 rounds only.
The last time we were there, J STILL could only finish 2 rounds of the steak (they extended their promo). As you can see, the steak is thick, juicy, and well-done. It comes with a side of veggies. I'm a big fan of truffle oil, so I had the Quattro, which I had before and thoroughly enjoyed. I usually order that, and there's enough to take home for lunch the next day. After the meal, they gave me coffee, which was good (I can't tell if it came from a Nespresso machine or was brewed). I had their Lava cake with sea salt before, and it was really good as well!

Service is always excellent, as their waiters are very attentive and great at suggesting dishes. They also have free WIFI in case you need to work, and a flat-screen that shows sports (though they will offer to change the channel if no one is watching). In all the times I've been there, I believe the owner was there monitoring the restaurant, so you can be guaranteed good food and good service. I made the mistake of going there once on a Monday, and realized that it's the one day in the week they're closed. We were really drooling for some steak at that point and couldn't find the appropriate fix for it anywhere else. 

But anyways, don't take my word for it. Run / sprint to Borgo for dinner! I promise, you'll keep coming back for more. 

*Edit December 14, 2012 -- Coffee is freshly made. I heard the grinder yesterday (yes, yesterday) when I ordered. Hahah.
Choco Lava with Seasalt was BUY ONE TAKE ONE. Seriously. Death by chocolate this December for me.

SM Arena Ticketnet -- When You Lose Your Tickets

Image
I just wanted to share a great experience I had with SM Tickets / SM Arena. As I had mentioned in my previous pos t, I was not looking forward to celebrating my 30th Birthday. J, with much struggle , tried to find me other gifts, but I persuaded him to just get me the cheapest Aerosmith tickets available. I mean, what were the chances that Aerosmith was coming the eve of my birthday? They MUST be meant for me! The cheapest tickets were quite expensive at P2,600 each, considering they were GA, and he offered to buy more expensive ones. I didn't think it was practical though, since we had just paid a lot of money for tuitions in Woodrose and Zobel.  So he bought the GA tickets at Southmall, handed them over to me, and that was that. And then, I lost the tickets. That night, I was using a Cambridge satchel bag. I placed the tickets on the front pocket as soon as J handed it over to me. By the next day, the tickets had gone missing. Everything was inside the bag -- except the ...

Meat Plus Cafe (Subic)

Image
I was heavily dependent on my Samsung S4 during this road trip. For some reason, J's Iphone gave my zilch information in Baguio on its map, while the S4 gamely showed us the places to eat in the map and reviews! I had just bought it a few days ago through my old Globe plan, and it came in really handy during this trip.

Calcium Supplements for Breastfeeding Moms

Image
Often times breastfeeding moms forget to take the necessary vitamins since they're so tired or distracted.  However, taking of calcium is so so important. Your body depletes your calcium stores during pregnancy, and  some more during breastfeeding. I personally take Calcium Carbonate (Calci-Aid) by Bayer because I prefer gel capsules over tablets. The recommended dose is 1000mg, but if you're a young mom (14-18 years old) the recommended dose is 1,300 since you are also still building your bones. Calci-Aid is 500mg per capsule, so I take two a day. You can get calcium from a well-rounded diet, but I don't take chances since with out schedule, I don't get to monitor my vitamin intake. Since I don't drink cow's milk (since some of the babies I donate to are allergic to the protein of cow's milk), taking calcium supplements are important everyday. I've heard of some moms who suddenly feel weak, like their bones hurt, and their doctors tell them it's...
