My Spoon

I am truely a local of the Tomas Morato and the area that surrounds it. I feel like I have eaten at almost every nice restos found in the area, or if I haven't the place it must be rather new or totally has given me no interest to try. Well, I am very happy to post that I have found another place love here...and that is MY SPOON =). It's funny, when the friend who invited me to dine here actually live very far from Q.C. I am fully aware of the existence of this resto and yes, I have been meaning to give it a try...but really had no chance..until that evening.

I was asked ..."Jen...do you like Oysters?" I go ..."ofcourse..I adore them..." with a smile...and my friend goes.."have you tried My Spoon?" ...I go.."No....but I I would love to!" So off we headed to this neaby resto....I have always thought their cuisine was Filipino. I don't know why I had that notion. It is situated behind Abs Cbn building...with a small facade that led to a wonderful surprise.

I was quite impressed..perhaps because I was expecting a Jerry's like ambiance with that silly thought of it as a Filipino resto. The place was nice and cozy..dimly lit but very inviting. Diners are serenaded by a singer accompanied by a cello playing nice love songs...nice =)

Please pardon my very bad pictures...the place was very dim...candle lit...so my camera had a hard time focusing and using flash just destroys everything ;P Anytips from people out there on how to take decent pics at very dimly lit places sans using flash???? hehehe help! help! help please =)

Dinner Rolls

nice sweet dinner rolls, compliments of MySpoon

Seafood Chowder

Very rich and creamy soup, with a generous mish-mash of seafood bits. Really good but just a tad bit over the top with cream.

Oysters Rockefeller
This is absolutely delicious! I love that the oysters were meaty and big, not like the kind served in Via Mare Oyster Bar (which are nowadays small and shrivelled...what's up with that? So sorry) They remain soft ans succulent underneath the well broiled through cheesey topping =) Very nice.


These are Cheese Wontons with Sweet Chili Sauce

I didn't get the cheese used in this appetizer...but these were just yummy and fun to eat. I like crispy crunchies to much on before having the main dish. The presentation was lovely as they tasted.



Crusted Lapu-Lapu Fillet with Lobster Sauce

I used flash this time..because I really want to share with you this delicious dish! A wow dish. The fish had a nice crunch from the crust that envelopes the fillet and the flesh of the fish was cooked through yes remains soft and tender. I love the lobster sauce that laced the dish.



My BakedCrusted Salmon Fillet

I again didn't get the actual name of this dish, but let me just describe to you how it was. It was Salmon fillet with a sweet potato like crust layered with tomatoes. It's delicious and rich tasting. Another WOW dish I might say =)

I was really delighted with everything we had for dinner. As if we were not full enough, we had coffee and dessert =)

I picked the Chocolate Souffle

For a light dolci. I was huge but airy..so it was a right choice. It was ok..just a bit on the eggy side.

I think this resto is great. The food selection is very interesting and a once again is definitely required.

I can't believe I have dined in this resto just now after all this time it has been there.

Better late than never right?

Thank you =)
