Zuni Restaurant & Wine Bar: A celebration of sorts
Monday, June 27, 2011 § 1
It was Boyfriend's birthday and we decided to go to Chili's in Greenbelt 5 to celebrate. When we got there, we were informed that we are #20+ on the waitlist. Just perfect! We were already starving at that time so waiting wasn't an option. We walked around the mall to look for another place to eat. As expected, we were greeted by an array of expensive restaurants. Zuni's menu caught our eye because most of their meat dishes cost less than a thousand and in our book, that's a gold mine!
Baked Oysters Rockefeller(395/6 pcs.) We started off with an appetizer of oysters rockefeller. This is the only oyster dish that I eat and it's my favorite so I always have high expectations when ordering it. Their version is one of the best I've had! There is a generous amount of cheese and bacon and the oysters are fresh. A great way to start the meal!

Classic Confections: An obssession with dessert

Meline's Chocolate Cake (225 small/995 big) This is their take on the classic chocolate cake. The fudge icing is thick and very chocolatey and the cake itself is moist and has the perfect texture. A light caramel syrup is also drizzled on the side. The richness of the cake may be too much for some, but this is a definite must for hard core chocolate lovers.
SamboKojin: Not your ordinary yakiniku

For 499 (lunch) or 599 (dinner and weekends), you not only get a wide array of meats but also a variety of Japanese and Korean dishes that can satisfy your every craving. For starters, you can choose from their set of Korean appetizers that include bean sprouts, marble potatoes, anchovies and of course, kimchi. If that's not your thing, you can walk a few steps to the sushi table where they have really good unagi sushi and a wide assortment of maki and sashimi. From the picture above, you can see that the salmon sashimi plate is empty. It's probably because their salmon is fresh and fatty. You can always ask for refills from the chef if it runs out. You can also order beef sukiyaki from the waiters.

About Me
- Tables for Couples
- My boyfriend and I have been in a constant search for great new places perfect for dates. In our 6 years together, we've already tried a variety of venues suitable for couples of all ages - from your regular McDonalds, insane yakiniku places, quaint and cozy little restaurants, fine dining, hotel buffets, weekend markets to resorts that go beyond Manila. But we want more. I believe that Manila, and the Philippines as a whole, has a lot of secrets waiting to be discovered. So from here on out, I will share with you our adventures with food, and maybe even life. Itadakimasu.
