Daily, Reviews: TriNoma Blogger FOOD TOUR (Part 1/2) (1 Comment)

It took me time to publish this post as it took me ages to edit all the pictures from the event as well as type this out. ~_~ I’m awfully busy and won’t be able to blog that much until my board exams are over! Wish me luck, guys! Anyway, I should start with my food tour post. :DDD This is going to be long because I like going into details. I know you hate long entries, but don’t close the window as there will be tons of food pictures that will (probably) make this post less boring. XD

I had some matters I attended to before I was able to go to the TriNoma Blogger Food Tour causing me to almost miss the event. -_- I was lucky I made it just on time before all the groups left. My brother was even luckier than I am since he was invited to join the food tour without having gone through the online registration. A number of people seemed to have skipped the event (including my friends Phoebe and Jhan) and I wish they didn’t. It was worth it! Who gets to eat in a lot of restaurants (not cheap ones at that) for FREE!? XD

It was my first time in such event. It was nice going on an event full of bloggers. They’re all strangers to me though except for Karen *lol* I’m just glad my brother was there. ^_^V I have no social skills. I can’t bring myself to talk to other people. But during the tour I met a number of people there. Sorry, but except Karen. (It was very great to finally meet and talk to you personally!), I forgot everyone else’s names. *lol* If you’re one of those people I met, please post a comment! I’d like to view your blogs.

After signing in the sheet of participators, I got my paper bag of goodies!

There were chocolates in it, a notepad, a folder with the schedule, and a movie ticket! I got to watch Sweeney Todd for FREE! No, wait, I paid 50 cents! It was supposedly only 25 cents, but my brother gave his free ticket to me. So… Yeah… 50 cents only! XD

First restaurant we went to is CYMA. The restaurant wasn’t fully prepared with the food, but what they served was worth the wait. They served Chicken Souvlaki, Spinach and Artichoke Fondue, Roasted Leg of Lamb, and Patisado Greek Osso Bucco. The lamb didn’t taste like I expected, but it was very good. The Patisado Greek Osso Bucco tops them all though (I could even eat it w/o the meat and just the sauce). I wanted to eat a lot of it, but we all know that pastas are heavy to the stomach.
