BYOB (Build Your Own Burger) @ The Counter, Hollywood

P1230571

My friend Vanessa loves burgers. And trust me, this gal knows a good burger. When she described the unique ordering process at The Counter, I couldn't wait to go.  The first thing we received when we sat down was a paper filled with different condiments, fillings and ways to have our burger.

Made a rich scrambled eggs dish with smoked salmon and extra creamy brie and served it with a simple salad (mixed greens tossed with feta, garlic croutons and vinaigrette), sourdough toast, maple bacon and fresh fruit.

Intimate Italian Dinner at Home Whipped up a little Italian feast for a few friends. The main dish is inspired by Rigatoni Alfonso, my favorite menu item from a famous restaurant in Manila called Cibo. Wanted my friends here to at least get a glimpse of what all the fuss has been about. Also made a simple Alfredo sauce for some store-bought mushroom ravioli. Served those with toasted sourdough drizzled with oil, garlic and herbs, and some sliced mozzarella cheese with fresh basil. Everything went perfectly with a glass of Riesling. After all the talking, laughing and eating, we realized that we kind of forgot...
