It was just recently that I was able to visit once again our family’s favorite steak house in San Juan. Everything at Steak is located just beside the Petron Station along P. Guevarra st. A cozy steak house with great food, reasonable prices and appropriate servings. Currently, the place has just been renovated and I say it looked better and created a more clean homey ambience.

Everything at Steak

Of course, we craved for their steaks, T-bone and Rib Eye with our preferred sauce, gravy and barbeque. All steaks included  your choice of sidings – coleslaw, corn and carrots, twister fries, yummy homemade mashed potatoes and etc.

T-Bone steak with Twister Fries

We had a very satisfying dinner with great steaks and sidings at less than 200php per meal. Everything at Steak is the best place to visit if you are craving for steaks at any time of the day and within a budget.

Rib Eye with Mashed Potatoes

Having dinner without desserts gives you a feeling of craving for anything sweet just to give you a satisfying feeling. On our way back home, we passed along this new dessert shop, a must stop for people who missed their desserts and can’t really get back home without having one. ;P

Aperto Menu 1

Aperto offers a wide variety of drinks from hot coffees, ice blended, smoothies, floats, iced teas and their special flavored jet teas. Banana flavored jet tea was the drink we desired and tried.

Aperto Menu 2

For cakes and pastries, there were cupcakes, brownies, cheesecakes and other special cakes. We craved for the rich chocolate cake that was named Choco paradise cake.  First taste would instantly bring you a sweet and heavenly feeling of its rich chocolate taste and cream filling.

Choco paradise cake (100php)

One glass of Banana Flavored Jet Tea is a good choice of drink to go along this Choco Paradise cake. This drink’s very light and distinct flavor complement very well with the sweetness of the cake.

Banana Flavored Jet Tea (90php)

A dessert combination for only 190php can already bring you yummy satisfaction and quickly respond to your sweet cravings.

A good combination

Aperto desserts and drinks would now be on our list of quick dessert shops, a reliable and easy to reach dessert stop near our home whenever we crave for yummy cakes, cool and relaxing drinks.

After watching Harry Potter, we can’t decide where to have our dinner. We were looking for a place with good food but with reasonable price. I have been hearing good reviews about this latest dessert shop, Caramia Gelateria and so we decided to try it. We had our movie in Promenade, Greenhills and so we just walked outside of Greenhills (located in Missouri corner Connecticut St.) to get there. It was a simple and sweet dessert shop which offers gelato cakes and ice cream which is also owned by Amici.

Caramia

We were already starving at that time and so we first had dinner in Amici, which is located just beside Caramia (actually it was connected). We ordered for pasta, Spinach Fusili Montanara (195php), something light because we wanted to make room for desserts. The pasta was great, thought it was light but not because of its very rich flavor and thick sauce.

Amici and Spinach Fusili Montanara

We were able to finish our pasta in just about 10 minutes and quickly transferred to the Caramia side. The cakes and ice cream displays were really enticing that you would want to order and try them all. We finally agreed to have Choco Tartufo (85php) as our gelato cake and Sansrival flavor (50php) for our gelato ice cream.

Sansrival Gelato

They tasted so heavenly but I must admit very sinful, though gelato is considered with less fat content.  As I was saying, all of their displays were really tempting and people would always be busy checking out which dessert to order. We enjoyed our visit in Amici and Caramia and would definitely come back for more cake and ice cream gelato.
