Hole in the wall Part 1!

I have been hearing lots of ravings about this great place in Marikina so I was excited to eat there to see if it's really something to talk about. It's called Qizia Cafe and it's a hole in the wall cafe located in Concepcion, Marikina City. The food there are affordable and yummy. I'm not so sure but my friend told me that Qizia literally means good food.(Or something like that :p)☺

Beef Pesto
I love this pasta! This is their only pasta that I've tasted and I liked it very much! It's the right balance of cream and pesto that made me fall in love with it. And the beef tidbits put the amp to the dish. Put a little more salt and pepper then it's way to go! I'm so gonna order this for myself next time!☺ 

Crispy Pork Belly
This dish is dangerously delicious! It tastes so good and so bad for the health at the same time! What an evil dish! :p

Family size Nachos
How I wish their nachos have more salsa, cheese and ground beef. Plus it'd be more appealing if their dip would be a little thicker.☺

Qizia's House Special Pizza
This is a regular pizza that has everything on it! :p Well, it's pretty much overloaded with ingredients in a good way and I really gotta mention that I love thin crust pizza!☺

Seafood Chowder
I find this soup a little bland. There's something missing and I didn't get to know what because I merely tasted this a table spoonful. But I'm thinking that if they thicken this a little more, simmer it for a couple of minutes longer, the flavor will be more concentrated and it will taste better. And an herb wouldn't hurt too.☺ 

Tenderloin Steak
This is my own order and I find the steak kinda over grilled but it's bearable because the flavor of the meat won over the charcoal-y taste when you bite into it. I liked it so far.☺

Up up and away!☺

 Sometime this love month, a few friends and my cousin went for a little adventure. An unplanned one. We originally just wanted to go to Hot Air Balloon Festival in Pampanga but due to certain details, we end up road tripping from Montalban to Pampanga to Subic and back.☺

Posing w a Canon digicam inflatable w ze gang. From left to right: Myself, Dianne, Irisse, & Khen.☺

While watching the kites.☺ I love the experience though I don't think I would want to go there next year or the year after that. :p

7 Eleven stop over after window shopping in Duty Free Subic. :D

We happened to see a not so cute and not so little monkey(I'm not fond of animals) roaming around the street of Subic.☺

And we were eager like that! Stopping over just to take a photo w a no parking sign in Subic area. How pathetic and cute at the same time, right? :p

We ate picnic-style! So fun! We brought lotsa food to save some bucks and the experience was real nice.☺ 

So in love w the view and the wind effect of my hair! LOL. How I wish to have a vacation house near a beach someday.☺

Tix.☺ Thanks Khen for the photos and for driving!☺


There were lots of people that went there! Crazy many!☺

It's kinda surreal seeing a hot air balloon a few feet away from me, I really wish to ride it but it's so expensive. Maybe when I get rich I'll come back there.☺
