Tomato Kick

I've been reading lots of good reviews for this restaurant for some time now, and given its close proximity to where I study, I've also been wanting to eat here for the longest time. I finally got to, one lazy Wednesday afternoon, after driving my friends around to do errands for Kythe's Kite Flying. We were in the area, so we finally decided to drop by.

It wasn't very easy to see, mainly because it was at the third floor of this building along Maginhawa in UP Village. BUT, there was parking. Yay! I didn't have to park along the street, because the building had parking space for around 4 or 5 cars. (Yeah, its not much, but... I'm happy enough given that THERE IS parking. Hahaha.)

The ambiance wasn't much. Actually, I wasn't expecting much anyways. However, the menu looked really good. Reading it felt like I was in a really nice restaurant, not just some hole-in-the-wall eating joint in the middle of nowhere. The food's very affordable to, with prices ranging from P50 to P200. The service was also fast, and the waiters were very attentive. Imagine, we were able to eat, drive to the tarp place, and get back to Ateneo in an hour. That means, the service was really fast.

Viva ate Chicken Alfredo, Karla ate Angelhair Bolognese pasta, Aisa, Quesadillas, and I ate Pepperoni Pita Pizza.


Viva and her food!

My Pepperoni Pita Pizza (which tasted more like 3M Pizza)

Viva's Chicken Alfredo looked sooooo good. But more importantly, IT WAS GOOD. I only got to take one bite of it, but nonetheless, I'm planning to order that next time. Well, according to Viva, the cream was really good, but not too heavy. Aisa and Karla were also very much satisfied with their food, especially Aisa, who got her Quesadillas for P50. That's way cheaper than the Quesadillas in Cantina, but with the same quality.

I, however, was not really satisfied with my food. Maybe I had set expectations that were too high, but my pita pizza felt like it was pizza from one of those cheap pizza stands.

But anyway. I'm definitely going back to this place. I want that Chicken Alfredo!!!
