Aristocrat Restaurant ♥ ♥ ♥

Auntie Natalie has been SO BUSY lately as the opening of her branch nears (watch out for it, peeps!) that she forgets to make reservations for her own birthday party. Toink.

We want something simple, fast and delicious. We go to Aristocrat.

Boneless Chicken Barbecue – my Aristocrat staple. It is no-fail, foolproof, and delicious
all the time. I like mine with generous drizzling of java sauce. On chicken and on rice.

Chicken Barbecue – same delicious flavors, but with stick and bones

Sotanghon Soup – love the fried garlic bits

Sinigang na Tiyan ng Bangus – sourness whets the appetite

Adobo Flying Saucer – just okay

Tapang Karne – beef sirloin marinated and cooked on the griddle

Kare-Kare – beef knuckles, tripe and oxtail in savory peanut sauce

Mechado – Frances loves this beef in tomato sauce

Laing – not coconuty enough

Sizzling Sisig – nice textures, soft and crunchy, but burnt at the bottom

Service is really off tonight. The waiters leave our orders on the trays (hence the burnt sisig bottoms). They serve us soup but forget to give us bowls. Some of us do not have utensils.

It is self-service night tonight

Bibingka – nothing fantastic

Mocha Cake – love the coffee-flavored buttercream

Mango Cake – light and spongy

Mucha Leche – milk, milk, milk, my favorite!

Apple Walnut Loaf

We also bring our own tub of munchies, Chef Tony’s caramel popcorn, hehe.

Check It Out cake from Aristocrat Bakeshop. This is super yummy now I can’t decide which my favorite is, Mucha Leche or this. Thank you, Auntie Babyruth, for recommending!
