Jack’s Loft

Monday, June 23rd, 2008

Friday night last week, I spent a short evening with the airtime group at Sidebar.  It was Trina and Jing’s despedida.  Bubba and I went home early at 9pm and bonded with Joyce.  It was more like hushing them both while I watched the Apprentice finale.  I got hungry afterwards.  Around 1030pm, we were headed to Wilson St. with a chaperon named Joyce.  You can actually order Pho Hoa dishes and have it served in Jack’s Loft.

Las Paellas

Tuesday, June 10th, 2008

Arrived from HK yesterday and I’m still so tired… 

May 31.  Saturday morning was supposed to be spent getting a check-up at the Intercare Center in Annapolis Greenhills.  It’s been years since I last had my scoliosis checked.  We got there at 10am and found out that the doctor had a car accident so we had to reschedule.  CW and I got our dental check-up instead at 11am.

Lunch was at Las Paellas at the 2nd level of Promenade.

Mozzarella Sticks PHP 130

Four pieces of average size mozzarella cheese sticks served in a bed of shredded lettuce with marinara sauce.

Calamares Fritos PHP 125

Small pieces of squid rings served with citrus mayonnaise dip.  I like the batter of the Calamares Fritos, crunchy and with right amount of saltiness.  Adds flavor to the squid rings.

Paella Valenciana PHP 450

This was the winner among those that were ordered.  Generous helping of seafood and vegetable

Hot “Spanish” Chocolate PHP 85

We asked what kind of chocolate they use.  The waiter said “Hershey’s” but retracted and said he’d check.  When he returned, he said they use Spanish chocolate.  When the drink arrived, it tasted Hershey’s.  *Grins*
