| Roasted Chicken with Turmeric Sauce at Secret Recipe |
The chicken-lover in me was screaming for the Roasted Chicken with Turmeric Sauce (Php280). In just a few minutes, their pleasant attendant served my plate with aromatic roasted chicken topped with the yellow-colored sauce spiced with some fresh herbs. The strong and spicy flavored sauce was complemented by steamed vegetables and not-too-salty fries. The chicken was well-roasted retaining its juicy and tender meat that's perfect in every munch. Without the need for rice, the dish was quite filling with the generous portion of the styled-cut potato fries.
 |
| Chocolate Indulgence is a definite thumbs-up at Secret Recipe |
As for dessert, constant readers of this site would know that I am a sucker for sweet endings (since July 2011 and every July from then on, I have a month-long feature of nothing but sweet sensations through Life is Sweet) I opted to try their Cream Cake - Chocolate Indulgence (Php70-after the 26% off). Secret Recipe Cakes Cafe Restaurant delivers one of the best tasting chocolate cakes. The Chocolate Indulgence was a decent slice of layers of chocolate goodness. Akin to a chocolate mousse, this beautiful slice is an alternating ensemble of chocolate cake, chocolate mousse and frothy cream then topped with a thick and gooey chocolate ganache. I was definitely in chocolate heaven.

I always thought that buffets in Metro Manila are not as affordable as when I am in Cebu City or Davao City, but with Chef D' Angelo's buffet offerings, you can eat to your heart's content with Chef D' Angelo's Eat-All-You-Can : soup, salad, pasta and pizza.
With another manic Monday and to most people - with 8 to 5 jobs and a 15 & 30 payday, budget strings may sometimes limit our expenses when dining comes to mind - until the next paycheck when our pockets are all bulked up again. So I am sure that many would opt to have a packed tummy after every meal without going over budget.
With Chef D' Angelo Eat-All-You-Can on soup, salad, pasta and pizza, if you prefer these type of dishes, their buffet can actually be your salvation for a hungry tummy all for only Php150. You have to add Php50 for bottomless iced tea and another Php125 on top of your bill for eat-all-you-can chicken - all in one transaction (you cannot add the chicken-all-you-can after the transaction has been made).
 |
| I improvised Chef D Angelo's soup by adding croutons and black pepper, voila! |
Their soup is a thin (read : too much water that you can hardly taste the soup's flavor) mushroom soup, and to make it appetizing for this photo, I opted to add croutons and a dash of black pepper. Nevertheless, it's still good to start your meal with piping hot soup especially during the rainy days.
 |
| Create your own salad at Chef D Angelo's buffet |
Next, their salad - ice berg lettuce with choices of fresh diced tomatoes, strips of cucumber and carrots, black pitted olives and two choices of dressing - mayo garlic and mustard. For the lettuce, be careful when choosing you greens as an elder woman sharing my table had to pluck out two large green leaves with wilted sides. Even if I carefully chosen my greens, i still got some brown/wilted sides (see encircled part of photo). I just wish the kitchen staff took the effort of taking this out before serving. Good thing the combination of mayo-garlic and mustard dressing was not such a bad idea. Many preferred mayo-garlic over mustard but I think the combination with the sharp flavor of mustard actually compliments the other ingredients.
 |
| Chef D Angelo's pizza and pasta choices from the buffet |
There are two choices of pasta, "creamy white" and "pomodoro" which were both disappointing. I always loved Chef D' Angelo's pasta particularly their Seafood Marinara but what do you expect with a buffet serving pasta - this would just be pure sauce and no other ingredients like meat or seafood. I dined at two different branches of Chef D' Angelo to test the diner's response, one at Alphaland in Magallanes and the other at SM MOA and at both areas, people where actually unsatisfied with their pasta dishes. As with any buffet offers, sharing and left-overs are not allowed but a group of diners who were seated in the next table at SM MOA could not finish the pomodoro pasta that they placed on their plates - four plates as I counted. They managed not to pay the penalty (no sharing, no left-over policy or you pay double) since their table was al fresco-style (outside the main establishment). At Alphaland I got to try their pomodoro pasta and I tried their creamy pasta at SM MOA and improvements with the taste should be done soon.
 |
| More servings of Chef D Angelo's pizzas |
As for their pizza, this is were my salvation came along. Three variants were available and freshly baked pizza were constantly arriving before the serving plates emptied. Cheese, Hawaiian and Pepperoni are the three choices. I always loved Chef D' Angelo's pizza dough and every bite was wonderful. Except for one pepperoni pizza at their Alphaland branch - which they served with burnt pepperoni. The store manager could have stopped serving this as you would actually taste the burnt pepperoni which destroyed the whole pizza experience.
I hate lambasting restaurants as I know how difficult it is to operate and survive a reputable business in our country but I personally believe that promotions made especially by dining establishments are a way to attract more customers and not push them away to go to other restaurants. Chef D' Angelo has produced one of my all-time favorite pasta dishes and they should be remembered that way - with or without promos.
If you prefer quantity over quality, try Chef D' Angelo's Eat-All-You-Can promo, but if not, just order for their regular priced ala-carte items. I know I would!
I would still check out their deliriously delicious offerings (not from their buffet menu) and savor their goodness in every bite. As I always say, Live Well, Laugh Often, Eat To Your Heart's Content!

| Senju's Crazy Roll |
Honestly, I never fancy Japanese food - raw Japanese food. No matter how good they look and stylishly they were presented.
It was not a case of serendipity when I checked out one of Laguna's pride - Aling Taleng's Halo-Halo. When my friend and talented photographer Mike Caballes pitched the Laguna topic to our 7107 magazine editor-in-chief, and upon learning our route, I instantly insisted of visiting one dining area - Aling Taleng's Halo Halo.
Why wouldn't I insist when this is one of the oldest halo-halo serving establishments in the country today (originally established in 1933 by Editha dela Fuente). As I saw Aling Taleng's Halo-Halo signage, I was jumping for joy and my heart was pounding fast - alas! I was about to taste what they are made of.
 |
| Aling Taleng's Halo-Halo ingredients like no other! |
Forget about a dozen or more sweetened ingredients, Aling Taleng's Halo-Halo offers only seven. Yes, seven ingredients but these will surely blow your mind away with every spoonful. These seven ingedients are ube halaya, kundol, monggo beans, white beans, macapuno, kaling-kaling (or kaong as alternate) and tubo ng niyog (sugarcane bits). Intrigued by the tubo ng niyog, when uncooked, this is a crunchy round produce - with a white to slightly yellowish hue. What they do is wash this, take off its brown "crown" and marinate in apog or lime then sweetened for about an hour. The result is a transparent fruit akin to a rambutan or lychee in color and texture. Each tall glass of halo-halo is topped with this tubo ng niyog when in season. We were lucky that at the time of our visit last July 2010 that all their ingredients were available, if not, leche flan may take place of this interesting ingredient.
 |
| Are you ready for Aling Taleng's Halo-Halo?! |
All ingredients being home-made spells the difference in every tall glass served and I actually did not bother for additional sugar with this concoction. What's best is that it is only Php50. Pagsanjan's residents are lucky to have Aling Taleng's Halo-Halo with their every whim.
