A new restaurant for me is like a
new disease. Groes right? But really, I cannot leave it at that. I have to know more about it. What a snoop! Yes, I do a my fair share of snooping around. It is not enough that I know it exists, I need to know what it is about, what
it carries and what its affect will be on me. It is exactly how I feel about a new restaurant. I love the thought that there is definitely a new chef, new
ambiance, new spin offs, etc.
I am an optimist when it comes to
trying out new restaurants. I don’t like jumping to conclusions. Judging the place based only on its facade. I love to hear
it out for what it has to say.
Now, my father is the big skeptic, especially with new restaurants. He wouldn’t be willing to try just for the sake, unlike me. The only time he would go near a new place is when someone recommended it to him personally or something something. But if not, he needs a big push (from me) to get inside the door and give it a chance.

I thing that if we all would be doing that, by
that I mean “waiting for recommendations”. No restaurants would survive since
everyone would be waiting for someone else to try before going there. Which is
a drag for me!
Now where is the fun in that!
Well money is indeed no joke when it comes to dining outside. Even a dinner for 2
would start at around P500.00 above. If a minimum wage earner would do that
everyday. He/she would still be in the negative. So yes, restaurant spending should be
thought about well.
But I am the type of person who
would jump off a bridge, even if I am scared. Living a life on the sidelines is
something not for me. I love a great adventure (even if it kills me) and food adventure is a must!
I can’t think of a restaurant inside the mall where I haven’t dined at. So, the nearest place from Sm North Edsa
would be Tomas Morato. It is the party place, but since I don’t party. Yes, I
am a good girl. I look at Tomas Morato as a food haven and not as a gimik place.
There are just tons and tons of
restaurants to choose from. Yes, some of them quite new and my mind is wrapped
up in it. I have to try them out, well at least what I can in this life time.
Just in front of Il Terrazzo
stands a new building that looks like the building from "FIX IT FELIX" game from "Wreck it Ralph" the movie. In that building stands several new places that looks pretty promising to me. I love the rustic vibe the place has. The place is great for "gimik-y" people. There is tons of space for people who smoke since every level has an open space.
