V-Day Dinner

Three days before Valentine's day, bestfriend and i had below text exchange:

Bestfriend: Hey, wanna meet up on Monday?

Me: Sure! Sa robinson's place na lang ba ulit or do you wanna try another place? (we were supposed to meet up the day before but we both decided to cancel. I've been wanting to see her as I was so excited to tell her about the seminar I attended a couple of nights ago)

Bestfried: You do realize it's Valentine's day on Monday, right? Date! Teehee!

Me: Frak! Oo nga! Wag ka magdadala ng flowers ah!

That Monday...

...the pandemonium at Robinson's Place, Ermita was just amusing!

People were flocking the balloon and flower stalls! I texted my bestfriend again to meet me at the top most floor of the mall, thinking it would be less busy; but even the normally unfrequented restos at the fourth level were brimming with couples.

As soon as we realized there's no escaping the crowd, we turned to each other and said: chocolate! lots and lots of it!

So we found ourselves heading towards Jack's Loft!

We had to wait to be seated (yup! that busy!) 
  

...and decided to lust after the desserts while waiting for our table. It made me wonder how motels were faring at that moment! teehee!



Bestfriend ordered cream of squash. I scooped a spoonful to sample --- not that creamy or flavorful. It was just ok.

She also got Spinach Cheese Quiche. The quiche was not as cheesy as I expected and it kinda reminded me of spinach omelette, more than anything; but bestfriend liked it.

I ordered Penne Tomato Cream --- it's oh! so cheesy and its spicyness provided a contrast on what my bestfriend and i consider as the most important part of tonight's agenda: sinful, calorie overloaded desserts!

My bestfriend got decadent cake. She went crazy over it! Warm chocalate cake, thick caramel sauce! It's actually good!

I chose a slice of newyork cheesecake. I'm not very picky with my cheesecake and I honestly don't know what a perfect cheesecake tastes like, but this one is better than i've tried before. It doesn't have a gelatine-like quality, but it's also not as hard as the one in Kitchen of Cakes (although I like their cheesecake, too! i'm so easy to please when it comes to cheesecakes!) 

I had my dessert with a cup of cappuccino.  

Overall, the V-Day went by and two single friends had such a trip discussing about Single Since Birth and the 5 Languages of Love over a nice dinner...
