Meeting Jacobo's Management

It was a Saturday Night and after checking out the cool cars at CAR TALK AT THE WALK, we headed to Jacobo's Bistro for dinner and refreshments. I have reviewed Jacobo's Bistro before and had swore to go back for their Salt & Pepper Spare Ribs! While we were ordering, the manager approached our table and said that they had read my review and were grateful for the good review! Then we were intorduced to the President of Jacobo's Bistro, Ms. Monica Huertas.

We also met one of the owners of Jacobo's Bistro, who is very lovely by the way.

That night we got the same excellent service from the staff like our first visit and gladly we got a bigger table this time! And there were more entrees on the menu!

And The Bistro Chopsuey tastes great! The sauce tasted like shrimp and squid broth and the veggies were sauteed just right, still crisp!

Kablaaaam on my Fave Mash!

My siblings and I share the same love for Mashed potatoes. and we would agree that the best Mashed Potato in town is at Dessert factory!

Just recently, my bro Edd and I had dinner with our friends at Dessert Factory Ayala Center Cebu to grieve our failed attempt to watch HP6 because tickets were sold out!

Edd and I were boasting that Dessert Factory's Mashed Potato was the best in town and a must try! The smooth mashed poatato topped with oozing hot and delicious gravy which we shared and enjoyed with everyone until Edd chewed on something..... a sticker!

Yeap, a sticker! We were laughing around jokingly saying "CONGRATULATIONS" like it was a price or words of wisdom from a fortune Cookie! We called for a manager to report the incident and in a few minutes a manager came. Edd narrated the unfortunate incident and the first thing that came out of the Manager's mouth was "DILI TINGALI NA SA MASHED POTATO SIR, SA CHIKEN TINGALI NA!" (it might not be from the mashed potato but from the Chicken). And suddenly our table went silent and blank faces clouded the table! DUH! It really wouldn't matter on where it came from, it's there and she should have apologized and it would have been okay. But noooo, her follow up statement was "sure ka sa Mashed potato na sir" (are you sure it's from the Mashed potato)." Again our faces went blank and eyes rolling around the table seeing Pao, Greg and Shake starting to get annoyed and irritated. So we asked fot he bill, and the manager's resolution was to have the mashed potato on the house. So when we got the bill, there was MASHED POTATO on the bill! so much for a resolution. Greg was so pissed off so he called the manager again! and reported the Mashed potato on the bill which was supposed to be slashed off the bill. So we have to wait again for around 5 minutes for the refund. And when the manager came back, she also had slashed the buffalo wings off the bill. Resolved? Not really. It's not what was slashed off the bill, but the service and the sincere apology should have been the resolution.

Though this may be a bad experience with one of my fave restos in Cebu, would still love to comeback to Dessert Factory! (I love their Buffalo wings, Boneless Crispy Pata, Pork Belly and my fave Mashed Potato) I just hope the people at the kitchen should be more careful with what they serve and managers/supervisors should be trained better with situations like this.

Free Coke Zero Baller Bands

Yeap, they are free when you upsize your Mcdo meals to Coke Zero when ordering online!

Though my first experience with the Mcdo online ordering system was frustrating, I think it's a great idea they have the system. The experience was frustrating because I specified on the remarks section of the Fill out Form that I would not be ordering if the baller bands are not available, but when our orders arrived, the baller bands were not delivered. I have to call the order hotline twice and there were even no update calls from the branch that catered our order making the experience more frustrating. so much for customer service!

But yeah, Baller bands were delivered 4 hours after the orders were delivered.



I would still be ordering online because its convenient, but Mcdo staff receiving should be more attentive!!!!!

to order online and get your free baller band visit http://www.mcdelivery.com.ph/ .
Promo is until July 17, 2009 and is not valid for breakfast orders.

Mamma Maria's Pizzeria Gorordo Barnch Grand Opening

Happy Independence Day! June 12, 2009 is the scheduled opening of Mama Maria’s Pizzeria Gorordo Ave. Branch (Beside Aerophone). Mama Maria opened its first branch in 2005 and is home of the biggest pizza in the Philippines at 52”.

With several branches in Negros Occidental, they are now open to serve the Cebuanos with 27 Different Pizza Flavors, 6 pizza sizes (8” to 52”) and open round the clock 24/7; looks like the party would never end at Mamma Maria’s!


Mayor Osmena cut the ribbon during the opening and had the first taste of Mamma Maria’s famous Italian gourmet pizza!

Had a slice of kinilaw, kebab, breakfast, margarita, Hawaii and vesuvio pizzas and I must say it’s quite good. You could taste the home made sweet tomato paste garnished with herbs(probably oregano and thyme) and crunchy thin crust just the way I like my Pizza! Mamma Maria’s Pizzas are good shared over a conversation with friends and family!

XXL 30inch pizza is a great muncher for team buildings and officemate bondings! Prices for XXL pizza starts at 695(Margerita) and Single 8 Inch pizza starts st 49(Margerita).

Also on the Menu is Crocodile Pizza! So if you are into eating some exotic dish, try it now! Haven’t tasted it though and will surely do on my next visit.
Mamma Maria Pizzeria is opened 24hours and does deliver. Call 417 11 77 for deliveries. visit them online at www.discoverypizzaplanet.com.


Opening this July is their Mactan Branch!

Yehey.com Experience

When i first heard about Yehey.com few years back, I instantly thought that it was just a Pinoy copycat search engine of yahoo.com.

Well that perception changed today, when we got to meet the people of yehey.com! We Pinoys being so Americanized, we would rather choose Yahoo or Google when doing our searches, right? Frankly speaking, I use Google everytime I resaerch about things. And just now, I tried using Yehey.com to search about the latest Star Trek Movie and to find out that yehey.com is even doing a Star Trek Promo and giving out free stuff to lucky Yehey.com-ers! That means that just being a Yehey.com-er it gives you the chance to win free stuff and enjoy perks that no other search engine can! And Yehey is totally Pinoy! With more Filipinos patronizing Yehey.com, Philippines could have it's first stronghold(and identity) in the internet world!

It really woudn't hurt if you try to act a li'l bit like a Filipino! it'll still be cool!
So visit www.yehey.com, register and experience a new kind of Filipino Coolness!


And yeah, just have to do a quick review on La Maison.
Well, sad to say, i still am not a fan of La Maison. I did a review back in 2007 about the resto when their still at the Entertainment Center of Ayala. here's a link if you want to check it out! http://doyzkie.multiply.com/reviews/item/16.

If you are wondering what La Maison means, I found out it means "The House" from the babelfish site. Well having a french name, I find the menu sooo mixed up which ranges from Mexican to salads to American back ribs. I really couldn't find a signature dish that would really remindme of La Maison. Well I guess maybe on my next visit I'd get to taste more of what La maison has to offer!And yeah, a strand of hair was spotted on our cup of rice. posted the photo on my multiply album. hehehe.

Good thing about La MAison though is the people and the ambiance. Both great factors in rating a good resto. And you gotta love La Maison Desserts too! hehehe.
