Every Saturday, participants posts photos based on a theme. The them for this Saturday, April 26, 2008 is UNIQUE/FUNNY signs. I am going with the unique since I will feature the restaurants we went to.

This Friday, bloggers were invited by Spot.Ph to have a dining experience like no other called SPOT PASS BLOGGERS TOUR. To those of us to were able to registered early, we were able to participate in an exclusive bloggers food trip at the Trinoma Mall, which is a few minutes from where we live.

The following are photos of unique signs of the restaurants that we were able to visit from 2pm - 8pm:

Yummy pizza and braised lamb.

The Madison Grill where you can make your own pizza on a table with lots of pizza toppings to choose from.

Love the interiors and the food.

Haiku where I asked for a fork for my sushi since I can’t learn how to use chopsticks 😀

The ribs were succulent and so tasty.

La Maison, Home of the Best Ribs, Steaks and Seafood.

Yummy steak too. Cute Mini Ruby burgers.

Still more yummy ribs at Ruby Tuesday.

Love that Chicken General.

Chicken General was one of those we had in Recipes at Cafe Metro.

Greek cuisine, yummy! Opa!

Skolatina is molten chocolate cake that we had for dessert at Cyma. Wow.

Yummy desserts.

The cheesecake is good here in Holy Cow / Jack’s Loft.

If you love shrimp, this is the place.

Bubba Gump Shrimp Restaurant is a great place for the family.

Red Box, for the karaoke singing people.

TGI Friday’s. For some. More work for me on a Saturday. Sigh.

Getting tired already. But we had to stop for Italianni’s Spinach and Artichoke Formaggio :)

Good thing we tasted their fish and mussels. One of the best we had for this event.

Try the fish and chips. And the baked mussels. Only from Fish & Co.

So many ice cream toppings to choose from.

I had my vanilla ice cream with Hershey’s Kissables at Cold Rock.

Good! We had our doughnuts to go!

Krispy Kreme. It is already past 7pm. And its good that KK had our donuts in paper bags for take out.

Good, we can take home the food.

Five Cows was the place where The Eating Club (our club) first went to.

Last stop. So tired.

Last stop. So tired wasn’t even able to take a good photo. Its past 8pm and it seems not a good idea to drink coffee after eating and walking and taking 349 photos.

Thanks Cookie for being a great companion. I hope I can make it on Monday for another round of these 😀

I hope you don’t have unique signs of stomach growling 😉 I canceled my sessions with my students today because hubby, Julian and I are going to attend the iBlog4 Summit. Have a great weekend everyone.

Here are the other participants in the blog event with their posts:

What a gret idea for advertising. Its keeping up with what’s “in”. Bloggers for food “spree”. Really cool!

Julie, I love the mussels at Fish and Co too! One thing I’ve noticed about restaurants are they are the ones in the market with noticeable and interesting signboards!

Lovelyn, bloggers are a spoiled lot here in Pinas. The old media is sort of wary about the new media, which is composed of bloggers. :)

Ling, yes the mussels are great but the food there is quite expensive 😀

EllenB, after those good eats, two days after we had another event like that 😀

9 May, 2008 @ 8:24 pm
julie said:

BM, some restos prepared a plate of samplers, some have buffet ables set up. Fil bloggers are a wee bit spoiled here. We are called the “new media” In fact, bloggers often get to blog about the latest events or “tsismis’ faster than the official networks 😀

9 May, 2008 @ 8:29 pm
julie said:

Marcia, no, we didn’t get to eat in all of these restos. We didn’t even get our coffee from Starbucks 😀

9 May, 2008 @ 8:32 pm
julie said:

Gem, my apologies, dear, haven’t been able to reply to almost all comments. Been too busy with work.

I am glad that I met you, you are so pretty and nice, just like what your mom has described.

I really hope I get to meet your mom SOON :)

Yup, we did go to all of these. No, we didn’t get to eat at every resto, we were too full at half-time. Some were gracious enough to have us take some food home :)

We had a repeat of this event last April 28th. Bloggers here in the Philippines are a wee bit spoiled, getting a lot of freebies. So we can blog about these.

Thanks, TNChick.
