C2 Classic Cuisine

The other day Camille and I (yes, we're both named Camille), went on a food trip. We were in Megamall and came across this restaurant called C2 Classic Cuisine. The place is all about modern Filipino cuisine. Camille told me they serve good food and so we went in for merienda. 

Their menu was loaded with typical Filipino food but with a twist. Everything looked good so we felt like we had to try not one but at least five from their menu. So much for merienda, right?

We started off with dessert, their famous Bibingka Souffle - light and fluffy blend of coconut custard, salted egg, quezo de bola and toasted coconut. It looked like a cupcake with frothy filling inside with chopped salted egg underneath all that fluffiness. You have to really dig deep into it to get all that flavor before dipping it in it's sauce. It was a pleasant treat. Definitely a must-try!

Then we ordered their sizzling dinuguan. This I enjoyed as well. We also had arroz caldo and tokwa't baboy. Their tokwa't baboy was a bit of a disappointment. It's sauce was a little sweet for me. 

We ended our food tasting with their champorado mousse. I was never a fan of champorado but when I tried their mousse version, I was converted. Chocolate rice porridge at the bottom , chocolate pudding in the middle topped with cream and otap. Yum!

C2 Classic Cuisine is located at The Atrium of SM Megamall. 

Vita italiana trattoria

We tried this italian resto called Vita italiana trattoria located at the ground floor of Robinson's Metro East for merienda. 

The place looked simple but classy. The lighting was nice and cozy with bossa nova music playing in the background.

The prices were not bad as well. I ordered their pasta arabiatta. It was good. It had spicy red sauce, tomatoes and basil. Yum! 

The mozzarella balls was a bit of a disappointment. It was hollow inside, like the main ingredient was missing. It had a garlic based dip which was fine since i like garlic. The carbonara was also good. 

They had this promo where you could get a 9 inch pizza with one topping for only P99! So we ordered one with pepperoni topping. It wasn't that bad as well. Thin crust pizza that's close to amici's. 

It's a good place to eat. A place that would be perfect in malls like greenbelt. It's a shame that they're located at the ground floor in line with the department store and clothes shops. They should be located together with the other restos. That's just my opinion though :) 

Anyway, if ever you're in that area, do check the place out and have some good pasta or pizza at an affordable price :)
