CHILI'S Greenhills and Donya's Baby Shower


NACHOS, BURGERS, MARGARITAS and more. These are the things that come into my mind when CHILI'S is being talked about. 

On a Saturday, the KTG, gathered up and had a lunch "surprise" for Joan's Baby Shower! Abet aka the foodalphabet aka the happy husband was in cahoots so we were not worried at all. We figured that we needed a nice cool place for this to happen. CHILI'S was kind enough to provide it.


Since the celebrant was not yet there, we went on ahead and tried the new stuff CHILI'S had to offer. 

PULLED PORK CORN CAKEs (325Php). This mini pancake like dish is a stroke of genius. Putting pulled pork on top with some onions made it a joy to eat. Just don't smell my breath though.

For healthy eaters , the ANCHO RUBBED TILAPIA (425 Php)was served. This fish dish has that twang to enhance tilapia's flavor.

For the big boys... like me. 

I enjoyed the next few dishes as well.

SWEET MUSTARD SEED BABY BACK RIBS (664/965Php)


and the SMOKE GARLIC SIRLOIN (845Php).

My brother loves ribs and steak and I can imagine him ordering both dishes all for himself. The ribs were tender. The steak was pretty soft and was a pleasant surprise.
 
For dessert, we were served the APPLE BERRY COBBLER (325Php)
 Interesting to note, their ice cream takes a while to melt. Because of this, I enjoyed eating the berries. Both contrasting hot and cold for me. It wasn't that sweet and fruits are healthy right?

After an hour or so, the guest of honor arrived.
 Here's Joan!!!!!
 Mr. and Mrs. Lim
 and the photobomber on the side.

It was fun seeing her smile and open up our gift. 

Irene of Indulgence by Irene also had brought mini cheesecakes!!! These are love!!!! Check her out on 
her facebook page . She brough Kalamansi (my fave), Ube, and Corn. I soooo love her cheesecakes! 

We were also glad that Bohemia Cakes & Pastries were able to send a cake on over. 
This beauty was perfect for the soon to be mother and father.  Check out their facebook page here.

Also another surprise was the giveaway. These beautiful and cute orbs were made by SHORTS GOURMET MANILA.
This whole thing is actually edible. Its made with the same stuff you have on cakes. 
Inside are short breads. Definitely a crowd pleaser and an awesome giveaway on any occasion. 
Check them out at facebook .

CHILI'S is one of the go to places of my family. Be it for a quick casual lunch or a snack with drinks in tow. I love that they are affordable specially for the price and the quality of food they serve.  Good for sharing, this is a place to go to with the gang. They also got unlimited alcoholic drinks so get ready for happy hour. Will definitely go back.

THE SWEET STUDIO: Your Neighborhood Bakery

PIES. I am not a big fan of it but if it is done right, my mouth would crave for this wonderful creation. It is but a simple gift to man. A meal all into itself. No fuss and great for on the go.

My knees lost all its strength when EUGE of Hefty Foodie and I were given the chance to try out THE SWEET STUDIO.
 
 You might not be able to see THE SWEET STUDIO right off the bat. BUT, this small bakery is a nice quiet nook in an otherwise busy neighborhood. 

Started off with some PEANUT BUTTER STUFFIES.
First looks can be deceiving. You would mistake this for one of those run of the mill cookies. You are dead wrong. It is something perfect with milk. The peanut butter taste hits your right smack in the face. It isn't overpowering though but it is definitely love! Do it the oreo way and dunk it in milk!

A slice of  MAD MUD CAKE was up. It was moist, not too rich but definitely good.

Pretty simple and not too sweet. Heavy on the chocolate flavor!

THE SEA SALT NUTELLA is a play on something sweet and salty.

Nutella lovers would rejoice with this creation. Meringue layers placed on top of each other with generous amount of nutella. Damn good if you ask me.

Green stuff? Yeah. OMGREEN TEA CAKE.
I had my apprehension about this since it being green. LOL! Green food would equate to salad and those veggies but not this. The crust part is chewy. I loved it. Although, the matcha flavor could be enhanced more and the frosting on top was a little too sweet for tea taste to come out.

Definitely a favorite of mine is their PECAN PIE ! If only this would be in their regular menu.
NUTS NUTS NUTS! I so love them nuts! Maple syrup and honey combined with these nuts definitely made my taste buds go gaga! YUMMY!

One of the things THE SWEET STUDIO is known for are their PIES.
WHY? It is the crust. The way they make it is pure genius. They have the right amount of flakiness and the butter taste is present. I could go on and on and eat the crust and leave the fillings to the dust but that would be wasteful. Besides, I love those too.

THE CHICKEN PIE.
 First bite and it reminded me of RED RIBBON's version. A few seconds later, it melts in my mouth. YUMMY.

THE TUNA PIE.
 This gives you that kick you are missing. It is a little spicy but not too much. Good for the fish lovers but for the tummy achers. LOL! Kidding aside, I enjoyed this one too.

 SPINACH AND SHROOM PIE.
 Even if I am not a veggie lover, this one made me love it. I know I know... It was so creamy and the taste of spinach wasn't overpowering so all I was thinking off was mushroom and cream. YUMMY veggie take on PIES!

I can see myself returning for a quick bite or a lengthy stay. Even if the place can only cater to around 10 diners, I could see the perfect use of space, design and love put into it. Budget around 200 Php per person. Parking is a little bit difficult but if you can, drop by and get your snacks for to go. I love it.
