Alfredo's Steak House Does Not Sizzle Anymore

It was a rainy day...I barely spent 15 minutes at home after a long day at work...with a bad headache...I felt like I just wanted to sleep...but family is more important to me...so we went to Alfredo's Steak House in Tomas Morato to meet-up with my sister and her family because it was her birthday. I was glad it was just near our place and traffic was not that bad for a Friday night. The last time I was at Alfredo's Steak House was when I was still small...maybe more than 20 years ago...oops! now I gave out a clue on my age. As far as I can remember, Alfredo's steaks are really delicious, tasty and satisfyin. But that was years ago so it is like remembering how Duncan Hines Chocolate Chip Cookies taste like...Yummy! this was my favorite cookie when I was in grade school...I can still remember the softness and chewiness...Do they still sell this?

I was excited to see if the Alfredo's I knew before was still the same. The place looked the same with the Western-style theme. There are huge carriage wheels on the ceiling...pardon for the bad pictures...

My kid sat on a high chair...he barely fit in it because he was tall but he managed to sit comfortably...

We waited for about 30 mins to an hour for our order...so my kid got impatient and asked me to take him to the restroom. Having a comfortable and well-equipped restroom is essential for running a high-end restaurant so I expected a lot from it.

There's a hand-drier (the little girl removed the plug after she used it...glad she did not get grounded), bidet, toilet paper and hand soap. I suggest that they use a liquid soap so it won't be messy. It grosses me out using a hand soap used by a stranger. I also hope they have a lower sink for kids because my kid had a hard time washing his hands.

Dinner finally arrived! I did not hear the steak sizzle and see any smoke coming from the hot plate when they served it. My sister asked the waiter to change the plate because her food was cold...maybe it was left at the serving area for a long time and they totally forgot to give it. The other steak they served was piping hot so her hubby was satisfied with that.

We also ordered grilled blue marlin, fish and chips, BBQ shrimp on horseback (dunno why they called it horseback) and steak/chicken meal. My mom told me that her blue marlin was cold and my shrimp was also cold but I still ate it because I was hungry.

The shrimp was reasonably priced. It is worth P350 and consists of 2 sticks of shrimp kebab with side salad and rice. The others I think are quite expensive and to eat them cold is a huge turn off. I don't think I would eat there again unless it is for free of course.

MyHealth Clinic Takes Care of My Health

Getting sick is a real pain in the *** but to wait for a long queue in discomfort and end up with a list of expensive medicines to buy would definitely make anyone feel more sick! I was glad I have a health card from work so that lessens my worry about the check up and laboratory expenses. I usually go to Medical City Clinic in Trinoma and Waltermart for the check-up but my experience there was not really that good especially in Waltermart, Munoz. The nurses there and attendants seem so laid back (which is a better term for being lazy) and busy chatting with each other. I waited for a long time (around 30 min.) just to have my Maxicare approved and after that I went to the nurse's station to give my papers but the girl was busy on her phone so the guy beside her placed my paper on her table and told me to wait for my name to be called. So I waited for my name to be called and it was almost an hour. I was really wondering why it would take that long just to have my blood extracted ...

Teresita's Halo-Halo and Palabok: Perfect Pinoy Merienda

My mom always brags to me how delicious the halo-halo is at Teresita's that's why I decided to give it a try after a hectic Saturday of hopping from Waltermart to Trinoma and back to Waltermart again. I was supertired, hot and thirsty so the perfect snack would be halo-halo. Teresita's of San Fernando is located at the ground floor of Waltermart in North Edsa. It is near the entrance and supermarket which makes it hard to miss. Parents can also relax there while kids play at the nearby mini-play area. We ordered 2 regular halo-halo which is worth P85/each and palabok worth P85 too. I was expecting to get the typical halo-halo with 8 to 10 ingredients, but was surprised to just get three main ingredients which are sweetened banana, macapuno and leche flan plus milk and ice of course. It was all new to me so I was not satisfied at first. I was waiting for the crunch of the pinipig but there was none. As I eat it, I started to enjoy the smoothness of the texture an...

Having a Sweet Life at Discovery Suites

Having a vacation can be stressful at times ...the hassle of packing things, traveling far, traffic and unpacking. That's why more people choose to spend their weekends at the hotel which is more convenient and stress-free. There are lots of online discount deals now giving up to 50% off on hotel room rates, which means that the market for that is increasing. If I got the moolah then I would definitely get a voucher because hotel life is really sweet! My sister invited me, my kid and mom at Discovery Suites because she got a free overnight stay there. Maybe this was a freebie from booking a 3-bedroom suite and 2-bedroom suite for my niece's debut last year. Discovery Suite has a great location being situated right in the heart of Ortigas Center. Just across Podium Mall and ADB. St. Francis Square, Robinsons Galleria and SM Megamall are just a few steps away from the hotel. So if you get bored, there are lots of things you can do nearby like shop, watch a movie, play billiards,...
