Old school dining

For todays excursion, we will be going to our favorite city, Pasig. Me & my hubby Ben stayed in Pasig City for a good 5 to 6 years. We loved it here, the streets are always clean, enforcers around even on holidays, and best of all your close to the malls LOL in our 6 years here, weekends (even week days) are always TO THE PODIUM in Ortigas and just a stone throw away is SM Mega Mall. Ah this is the life !

Ok let’s get back to business. The head of the family’s interview for today is somewhere near Ultra. Again, some good old memories {Flashback Mode}. We used to jog at the Oval for an hour every day before going to work, and on Sundays, we’d swim for an hour as well. Yes, we try to keep fit, you see despite my being a Foodie Fun Person, I am somewhat sick sniff sniff. But that’s for my other blog to marinate on.

We said our good lucks and headed for Jade Palace in Shaw Boulevard. Traffic was horrendous ! All directions none moving, good thing I’ve gathered enough intel thru the years of the back streets here. Still it took us a good 30 minutes to get there. Being it an halfway point from lunch to early dinner, 3:30PM was a good time. We were immediately parked upon arrival. Tables were available. We were seated on the table just across the display window of freshly made goodies, like Siopao, Buchi & Asado Roll. If you look further, you could see the cooks preparing meals. That’s 1 thing I love about this restaurant, it’s old school.

Benz ordered the very delectable looking Asado Roll, which comes in 2 pieces per order & the Beef Brisket Mami, thin noodles. Here, you have the option of having your mami either in thin noodles, like pancit or shanghai noodles, flat like fettucini.

We decided to just split the order cause it’s a lot, and some water on the side. It was delicious. The soup itself is warm and soothing you’d forget about the hustle & bustle of traffic outside. The beef brisket tender to the bite & the noodles made just right, not mushy or over cooked. The Asado Roll was delectable just the same, the Bun soft & warm, and when you bite into it juicy asado bits surprise your palate. Just 1 roll will make you full ! Roll & filling both fulfilling !

All in all our meal cost us only P183 pesos ! Our cheapest meal by far

amongst our food escapades ! And we are so full ! Ben called us to say he’s finish with his interview, but due to the guards incapability to assist him well we had to wait for 3 hours, for his barely 20 minutes interview. Good thing our tummys were happy LOL.
