00:00Viveki Ravanez will return for an all-out food trip to a restaurant that is known for its food and event venue here in Quezon City.
00:11It's just a coffee shop.
00:13It's a big area with a renovated house.
00:17We just convert through restaurants and events like weddings and seminars.
00:24Usually, the menu is requested by the owners.
00:28Food Explorers, let's go on a food trip!
00:31Here it is. As you can see, there are so many delicious dishes.
00:36I really don't know what to start with.
00:38The one in front of me is really special.
00:45They call this rib-eye steak.
00:48Our rib-eye steak is local.
00:51It's an affordable price.
00:53It's served with mashed potato, buttered vegetable, and mushroom gravy sauce.
00:59Of course, we need to cut it first.
01:01We need to cut it like this.
01:03Yes.
01:04So that we can feel it.
01:07It's like LL.
01:10The mouth should be small so that it fits the food.
01:16But of course, if we're being honest,
01:19this is how it should be.
01:25It's so delicious, ladies and gentlemen.
01:28Perfect.
01:29As you can see, this is called seafood chowder.
01:37It tastes like it's cooked by your grandmother.
01:40One of the most popular guests here is Mel.
01:47Mel Martinez, this is for you.
01:49You like hot food, right?
01:51Our truffle pasta is usually a regular truffle pasta with garlic base, cream, truffle sauce, parmesan cheese, and homemade focaccia bread.
02:04So far, your food is delicious.
02:07Truffle pasta.
02:09Of course, it has cheese on top.
02:11If I'm not mistaken, what are these dried leaves?
02:15Parsley.
02:16Parsley.
02:17Okay.
02:18You thought I didn't have anyone with me, right?
02:20You heard it, there are a lot of answers.
02:22Sorry, for us, I use a spoon when there's pasta.
02:26Let's not do that.
02:27We should be honest, okay?
02:29Yes.
02:36It tastes like a birthday.
02:38Perfect.
02:39This is what happens when you have a white pasta for your birthday.
02:45You know that.
02:47Since there's no Lumpiang Shanghai here, we prepared LL pasta.
02:50It's delicious.
02:52LL?
02:53Luwag-luwag.
02:54It's like luwag-luwag.
02:58Of course, let's have salad.
03:00Wow, it's so green.
03:02You're right in what you're thinking.
03:04Fresh garden salad.
03:06Fresh lettuce, kale, arugula, and then sweet and spicy mango vinaigrette
03:13with fresh watermelon, mango, and then grapes,
03:18and then candied walnut, and then parmesan cheese on top.
03:22It's delicious.
03:25Of course, this is healthy.
03:27When you eat meat, you should also eat vegetables.
03:33For those who don't like vegetables, this is a perfect dish for you
03:38because you'll be confused if you'll accept the taste of vegetables
03:43because it's sweet.
03:44It's sweet coming from the mango and the fruits that are added.
03:48And of course, it has candied walnuts.
03:52That's why it's delicious.
03:54You'll be able to camouflage the taste of vegetables, in fairness.
03:57For me, a restaurant, a meal,
04:00if you're given a good garden salad,
04:05your chef will be happy.
04:07The standard of their restaurant is good.
04:13That's the balance.
04:15Not all restaurants have good guidance.
04:19Of course, this is our blueberry cheesecake.
04:21They say, when you're young, everything you want is there.
04:25You don't have to worry about anything.
04:27You don't have to think about maintenance.
04:31And this one, it's so friendly.
04:34My mom and dad's favorite, and also my favorite,
04:38is the sugar-free cheesecake.
04:44Oh my!
04:46Oh my!
04:52Mmm.
04:55It reminds me of my ex.
04:58It's delicious, but it's not allowed.
05:02There you go.
05:05Mmm.
05:07All mommies will really like this.
05:10In fairness.
05:11My creme brulee cake.
05:13Chiffon base and then custard filling,
05:15and then top with white sugar,
05:17and then we toast it to caramelize it.
05:20Okay.
05:21Promising, huh?
05:26This is the sugar that caramelized.
05:29Another sugar for the day.
05:33I hope my endocrinologist doesn't watch this.
05:39Mmm.
05:40They say, you only live once.
05:43Heaven.
05:48A delicious cake or dessert
05:51is not just measured by sweetness.
05:54With a delicious dessert,
05:56aside from the sweetness,
05:58the flavor should be mixed in there.
06:01What are the major ingredients
06:05that represent the cake.
06:08The chiffon of the cake, right?
06:10It's so soft.
06:11Let's taste it.
06:14After her satisfying food trip,
06:16what is Viveka's hot take
06:18when it comes to eating and drinking hot off the press?
06:22Good. It's good.
06:24I didn't get fat.
06:26I'll say it later.
06:28Of course, the dessert.
06:31I'm sorry that we love sweets.
06:34The creme brulee,
06:35from any age,
06:37any age will like it.
06:38From a child to the oldest.
06:41Because it's delicious.
06:42It's not too sweet.
06:44And also,
06:45the fresh garden salad.
06:47It's amazing.
07:12It's so good.
