Unforgettable.

When I was searching for small restaurants to eat at around Marikina City, one name stood out.  When I read the name Forget Me Not Cafe, I instantly wanted to try it out!  I don't know if their name came from the flower or literally the phrase, but whichever, it get people curious then hooked. :)

They have nice interior.  I really dig the chic-artsy vibe.  They didn't waste any space and I'm totally in love with their couch.  These photos were taken during November 2013, hence the Halloween design, my first time to dine in there.  During the duration of 6 months, I've been there thrice.  That's a lot since I don't go out regularly. 

Vanilla Milkshake (Php 95.00)

Vanilla Milkshake is always a safe bet.  I often choose this as my drink to cut through all the savory tastes while eating.

Quesadilla (Php 75.00)

The serving's too small for two but with the price, it's considerable.  It's not good to compare but I can't help but mention this, I still prefer Qizia's quesadilla.

Lasagna (Php 115.00)

Two thumbs up for this lasagna!  It's cheesy good! 

Buffalo Wings (Php 125.00)

This dish only lack one thing.  A little more spice and it's perfection! 

Burger n' Fries (Php 155.00)

Alexei's burger is not easy to top off!  I'm talking about Marikina independent restaurants.  So basically, this is a so-so burger for my preference.  (P.S. I still haven't tasted Boyong's, Daddy Bertz's, and Mama Chits's burgers, that's why Alexei's still holds the best burger title in Marikina for me.) 

Salisbury Steak with Mashed Potato (Php 145.00)

Forget Me Not Cafe's gravy is one of the best, ever.  I swear!  It's really really good!  I'm a steak kind of girl so I know what I'm talking about, bae.  I know the protein should be the star of a dish and it still is, but the gravy is definitely the breakthrough star!  Everything tastes better.  I can eat mashed potato everyday with this gravy.  I die!

Here's the whole gang!♥  (L-R) Niño, Aissa, Iris, A, Aryan, Heidi, and Paul.  (P.S. Thank you Mim for this photo!)

A's B & C

I got curious about this very well-lit restaurant that shouts American food from the outside.  It seems like they're trying to embody the classic American diner aura.  And that's what got me curious first and foremost to try Tender Bob's.    

Chicken Tender Buffalo Style (Php 270.00)

Honestly, when I tasted this it instantly became one of my favorite buffalo "wings" ever.  The outside was crispy while the inside's tender but still juicy.  The chicken's flavorful, just the right amount of sweetness and a little kick of spice and it was rightly glazed, covering the chicken all throughout.  

Half Lb. Burger (Php 265.00)

This isn't mine, it was my cousin's and she said it was good but it's not the best burger she ever tasted.  She felt really full afterwards because the serving's really huge like American serving huge.  And it's a really really good thing. :D

Porterhouse Steak (Php 650.00)

I have a confession to make; I'm a steak kind of girl.  You can count on me eating steak, anytime.  I'm in love with it and I can't live without it.  My preferred steak doneness will forever be medium rare and no one can make me change that.  I found my true love and I'm never letting go! :)  Going back to Tender Bob's Porterhouse Steak, it's A-okay.  There are clearly better tasting steaks but this one's still seasoned well and it's tender, moist, juicy, and they served the right doneness so I was a happy kiddo. :)

It was National Doughnut Day last June 6, 2014.  I don't know if it's in the US or in the UK or everywhere.  But I feel obliged to blog about my personal favorite doughnuts...
