MR. PARK (yummy breads and cakes)

 


This is a long over due shout out!
 
WE LOVE MR. PARK
 
My husband discovered this unassuming pastry shop in Ortigas Center Pasig. Hubby bought a box of Mr. Park's cream puffs for the kiddos for pasalubong.


 
The boys opened the box and giddily munched on the cream puffs.
The cream puffs literally "pops" at first bite.  A bit messy, but an awesome eat!!!
 
It was such ruckuss as the boys finished everything... except one that I managed to save (hihihi!)




 
 
WARNING: 
Don't bite, put the entire puff inside your mouth then chew (Mr. Park should have stamped this warning on his cream puff boxes)!
 
Mr. Park is an absolute must try.  Check out their other specialty breads and cakes too, I am sure you won't be disappointed.
 
I suggest you visit the Eton Emerald Lofts branch.  The Korean owner is so nice, he would often hand out new products to customers to try for free.
 
We frequent the Mr. Park's Breads and Cakes located at the
Ground Floor of Eton Emerald Lofts,
Garnet Street Corner F. Ortigas Jr, Ortigas, Pasig City.

Honest Italian Goodness at Gotti's Ristorante

After enduring almost three (3) hours of grueling traffic, before finally reaching SM MOA.  We were in desperately need of replenishment.
 
 
 
The first restaurant we saw was Gotti's Ristorante an Italian restaurant serving delectable Italian food. 
 
I was wanting to order the specialty pizza and pasta, but the rice meals were equally heavenly looking to let pass.
 
 
The boys ordered Banana fruit shakes and shared an order of Classic Lasagna and an appetizer (I forgot the name - but it is an oven baked folded pizza), while my husband had Tuscan Steak and me, Chicken Parmigiana.
 
 
Food were rich and flavorful, typical of Italian cuisine.  
 
My Chicken Parmigiana was generously topped with tomatoes sauce, would have been perfect if they added more cheese.  
 
My boys finished their lasagna, with 2-3 pieces of the wrapped-pizza appetizers left-over, which they insisted we take out.
 
As for my husband, he was busy with his Tuscan Steak... 




VERDICT

Servings were huge, with the order enough for 2 people sharing.  Half-way through my Chicken Parmigiana, I was so full and can't hardly finish, even if I wanted to.    

Price was reasonable given the serving portions and quality of food.

We came in on an odd time (late lunch, early "merienda") and we were the only ones dining, so we were treated very well (I cannot comment, if staff are as attentive otherwise).  The good service complemented the delicious food.

Yes, we will be back!!!
