Dining Review

Tus Clay Pots and Skillets

 
The interiors are earthy and rustic. With substantial chairs and crosscuts of different trees

View from the Top: The interiors are earthy and rustic. I like the accent wall with cross sections of different trees

My friend Jane knows all the right places to eat. I love asking her about places to go that are near by and I love visiting these recommended establishments even more so in her company. We have come to grow and nurture our friendship into more than just our first label of New Found Friends, and we have grown into a fun little circle with neighbors, Patty and Joei. We like to eat out and explore joints here in the South with each other and on occasion with our partners too.

After seeing Jane’s recent post on Instagram where she held a calzone the size of an entire cutting board from TUS (like so much bigger than anything I have ever seen before) I had to ask her where this place was and how the food was!

 

LOOK AT THE SIZE OF THAT CALZONE!

There is an area upstairs that is a bit more private. I imagine having a small get together in this area. Its big enough but still cozy.

She is always very quick to share information and dishes to try and through her kwentos she mentioned that Krsna and Kai had just come out with some breakfast dishes that we all might want to try together.

TUS’ means “YOURS” in Spanish. Potato Onion and Cheese Frittata served with buttered toast

 As you well know, brunch is my most favorite meal of the day, especially if it’s a leisurely brunch on a Saturday or Sunday.

OMG. This was my favorite dish of the day besides the cookie of course.

OMG. This was my favorite dish of the day besides the cookie of course. This perfectly seasoned Pulled Pork is slow cooked (as pulled pork should be) and topped with a house made slaw that complimented the flavors and spices of the pork.

 Truth: My weekends have not been leisurely approached since I have encouraged my children to involve themselves in sports. This means we are usually at sporting events bright and early leaving little time to take time out for brunch…

This Spicy Beef Gozleme had just the right bit of kick and spice balanced with cheese and garlic. Gozleme is a savory tradition pastry dish made of hand-rolled dough that is filled wi

This Spicy Beef Gozleme had just the right bit of kick and spice balanced with cheese and garlic. Gozleme is a savory traditional pastry dough that is hand-rolled and filled with different types of ingredients.

But this day, we made a point of it. And I’m so glad that we did!

Tus is right in the neighborhood and it’s easy to park. After meeting Kai Sason and Krsna Algenio, I did a little bit of research and learned that they are really from the south. This is why they knew they had to open their very first business together here in Alabang…

Egg Salad and Asparagus sandwich served with pan seared tomatoes and basil on the side

Chef Krsna sent out a bunch of breakfast and brunch dishes for us to try. I can honestly say I enjoyed all of them, but I DID enjoy a few more than others.

IMG_9933

The Hot Chicken Sandwich with Jalepenos is a pan seared chicken fillet topped with romaine lettuce, cheese, and red onions. I like that the jalepenos are served on the side so you can determine just how much kick you would like.

IMG_9952

Is there anything better than spinach and bacon together? Pictured here is the Bacon and Spinach Frittata. The word Frittata is derived from Italian and roughly translates to “egg cake.”

If all the kids were with me, I know they would enjoy the entire pitcher of this yummy Pineapple Float.

IMG_9906

Delicious as it was, I would probably give my kids a choice as I always do. I don’t like them to indulge in too many sweets at one meal. This means that I would ask them if they want the Pineapple Float OR the Chocolate Cookie…I think having both during the same meal might mean sugar overload.

IMG_9953

Bacon and Egg Skillet comes with buttered toast, a roasted tomato and a healthy serving of beans.

All breakfast skillets are served with egg, roasted tomatoes and baked beans. You have a choice of toast with butter, plain rice, or their signature steak fat fried rice. Keep in mind if you want to go for breakfast that it is only served until 10:30 am.

These guys…I love that they have found a friendship of their own because Jane and I enjoy spending time together! Thanks guys 🙂 We love you for it!

IMG_9958

Tus’ half baked cookie is their signature dessert. Ask anyone who has had it and they will tell you it is a “MUST HAVE” when you visit.

 Tus’ Clay Pots and Skillets is a great neighborhood restaurant that I would definitely visit again. I think the next time we go back, I will be looking for that CALZONE!!!

Thank you Chef Krsna and Kai for having us! We are looking forward to bringing the whole family back real soon.

Waterside @solaireresort’s BBQ Brunch Buffet has Waterside @solaireresort’s BBQ Brunch Buffet has all the southern fixings and more.

Grilled and smoked meats. Seafood and mixed drinks. Fried chicken and fish and chips. Starters include fresh salads, corn bread, nachos and more. But the kicker comes in the form of a Make Your Own Milkshake bar, and YES, you can order it spiked with your favorite liquor! 

Waterside is only one of quite a few restaurants that you can enjoy  beautiful weekend brunches with your favorite person, the fam bam, or your friends. 

Check out www.mommanmanila.com to see the full menu and what Nino and I enjoyed most.
Creating food together is one of our love language Creating food together is one of our love languages. We flow in the kitchen. I get excited and move too fast, and she grounds me, and slows things down. We can move around one another while still staying in sync. In our own kitchen, there is music that guides us and sets the tone for the meal. Gelli would be in the mix, the boys will set the table, someone makes dessert, and maybe @manila.gent  makes a drink. 

When we prepare our table together there is so much that goes into the process and the ingredients. This mindful movement brings me so much joy when we are all together.

Even more so when we attend classes together to learn new dishes too.  @themayakitchen1 has regular classes offering cooks of all abilities to learn something new when preparing meals for for our families.

Check out my new article on @rappler for @kitchen143 where Gia and I learned from Chef @cocoyventura a few new Pinoy dishes that will definitely be on rotation for #TeamGellibean.

Crispy Pata. Is there anything better than perfec Crispy Pata.

Is there anything better than perfectly brined crispy fried pork? 

@manila.gent and I visited @viicsrestaurantph for simple Pinoy fare that hit the spot. Admittedly, after moving here so many years ago, I took a while to warm up to this dish that is one of Nino’s (and my mom’s) favorites. But every once in a while-I won’t feel guilty about indulging in this deep fried treat.

Happy to learn that we can also order for when Mom arrives through @foodpanda_ph too!

Looking forward to bringing the family back soon!

Thinking about the day I got off the plane in LaGu Thinking about the day I got off the plane in LaGuardia, was picked up by one of my dearest friends and spent the entire day at the beach just catching up on LIFE.

It was a breezy day. Overcast. A little chilly to be in a suit, but it was perfect to catch up with my girl Candy. Sometimes, if you have chosen your friends well, you can pick up where you left off, as if no time has passed at all. 

Just like I did, sitting in that beach chair, feeling the mist of the Atlantic Ocean, and watching the seagulls pick and the seaweed.

Thank you Candy! For the friendship, for dropping everything to come and pick me up. Drive me around and have dinner with me and Fayth. 

Wishing I was sitting on this beach with you right now!!!
Eggs Benny with BBQ Pulled Pork was just one of ma Eggs Benny with BBQ Pulled Pork was just one of many dishes that we enjoyed during #SundayBrunch at Waterside in @solaireresort .

From cornbread, to mom’s potato salad, melt in your mouth whisky cured short ribs, homemade sausages and more. This #BrunchBuffet had @manila.gent and I rolling each other out the door!

Hard to choose which was our favorite from the feast that was set before us!

Brunch is inclusive of some delicious drinks, some Southern smoked and BBQ Fare, and a most colorful sweet dessert buffet by way of Milkshake Bar!

Missing my @migaventajado The short time I had w Missing my @migaventajado 

The short time I had with this guy in Florida was definitely something I will look back on. Wish we had more time to explore and do some fun things on our own.

Gah. How is this kid 20 years old already?
I remember when he was little and he loved peanut butter, chicken nuggets, Kylie Minogue, and sitting on my lap. He was squishy, in tune with my feelings, and I was always worried that he might have an asthma attack in his sleep so I would nebulize him every few hours. He always looked at new experiences with gratitude and wonder, much how he did while we were in FL together.😍

Praying he continues to strengthen his faith as he grows. 🙏🏻👨🏻🙌🏻

Miss you Miggy!
