Tasting Married Life ;P

Blogging is really such a great avenue to meet a lot of fantastic people! Last Saturday I got the chance to meet the family of one of my favorite bloggy friends..Ruy and Liv of A Taste of Married Life! They were soooo sweet to invite me to try out their cousin's new restaurant located at Examiner St., where the old Sucre used to stand....a fusion asian resto called Bellore.
A kind of Italian sounding name isn't it? But, as I have learned..it is actually a combination of the surnames of the partners owning this nice resto =)

I dragged my friend Elainey to have meryenda with Ruy, Liv and beautiful baby Andrea. Naturally we got there ahead of them...because we were hungry! ;P hahaha When Liv walked in the resto carrying baby Andrea..I knew it was her...and I go..."Liv!!!!!!! --?" hahaha As if I knew them for a long time already. Ruy came in shortly after....and the chit-chat started on....

Elaine and I shared this Oyster-Bacon Burger


Yes! Oysters and bacon..in a burger! Sounds great and very interesting as I love oysters and bacon...though I am not much of a burger fan. Well, it does taste as good as it sound! You can taste the oysters and bacon married into the thick and juicy beef patty. Yummm..kahit hindi ako burger lover ....sarap! =) Sana hindi kame nag half lang ;P hehehe

We also ordered the Gula-Melaka Chicken Wings


Para may ma-share kame kila Ruy and Liv...because when they got there...naka-order na kame =D hahaha I was intrigued by the name of this appetizer, actually. I havealways thought..Gula Melaka as a tapioca and coconut milk Malaysian dessert....I thought..hmmm perhaps it is marinated in coconut milk??? hahaha It was good!Very flavorful chicken wings with sesame seeds...no need for dip because its really tasty =)

Unfortunately...our kwentuhan was kind of cut short..as my friend called me and was to fetch me earlier than scheduled. I was super bitin!!!! Nevertheless, I am very, very happy to have met them, even for a short while. Well, this only means one thing...we have to have another meet! =)

Thank you Ruy and Liv please, please let's schedule another meet....na mas matagal para maka-make up for the bitin kwentuhan =) You guys are great and your cousin and uncle chef were sooo nice as well =) Super fun and super bitin (sowee for that) !

Hugs to baby Andrea.

Talagang a taste of married life! =) hahaha

Awww... Hay, next time we have to have coffee naman (even if Liv insists I'm not a coffee drinker and that I'm more of a milkshake person). Haha. Na-challenge ang aking old espresso loving self.=)
Seriously, we had so much fun meeting you and Elaine. I kind of feel regret that I didn't get to warm up to chika mode right away as I was distracted by Andrea and my relatives. Had I known you'd be leaving early baka you and Elaine wouldn't have gotten any chance to talk. Haha!
You two were just so nice and meeting you just made our day.
Thank you and thank you for coming on such short notice.

PS
Don't forget the other engagement we have in Katipunan.;p

I actually passed your resto this morning and saw the Sunday breakfast buffet banner!!! I will definitely ask my brunch-buddies to give it ago..maybe this Sunday..but I will confirm. Sayang the Koreans left na...your uncle would have really impressed them with his cuisine =)

That is absolutely so nice of you to offer ah...nakakahiya naman...3 lang kame na breakfast girls...I am sure naman kahit walang extra specilally prepared ...special ang breakfast spread nyo =) Will give it ago very soon. I'll keep in touch!
