Bar Dolci - Experiencing Nice Gelato and Food Safety Issue

12:30:00 AM


Hello Urban Women!

How's your weekend so far?

It's been a busy weekend for us, attended some client meetings, catching up with friends, and most importantly preparing some blog-post to keep you updated on everything we find.

Anyway, how many of you loves gelatos? 





I'm guilty. I love gelatos. It's not too sweet than a regular ice cream and I love it. So few weeks ago, after our lunch at Wrong Ramen (located at Forbestown, Bonifacio Global City) we just hopped to Bar Dolci, just few steps away from Wrong Ramen. We are so spontaneous that day (I don't know why :D ). We are honestly overwhelmed with these favours! Oh if only we can grab all of it, hahaha

Bar Dolci is quite nice, luckily it's noontime so the place is not crowded - actually we are the only crowd. It was really good being with cool friends! 




They have these great favours like Pistachio, Black Forest, Milky Cookies, Brown Butter Pecan (ohh I love this!), Vanilla (I'm not a vanilla-kind of lady), Bubble Gum, Chocolate Rhum Truffle, Cappuccino, and others... for just a minimum of Php130 per scoop


Everything is doing exciting and good... when suddenly one of their male staff sprayed some orange-scented air-fresher (I believe its a GLADE brand) inside the store, and totally freaks me out! I don't know what comes in his mind when he did that. He know's that there are customers EATING! Is he trying to poison us?!




I felt very disappointed and irritated. I am very much particular with food preparations and safety. So I immediately grabbed my friends out, before one of us got poisoned. Gosh, Bar Dolci management should review their food safety and staff training too. 

Are they not trained to value their customers and make them feel safe too??? Are they just exist to sell their gelatos and do plain business, and doesn't care about security and health safety???

 I am disappointed. I admit that I like their gelatos, but having experienced this kind of  issue? I"d definitely not coming back, unless they change into better.



Of course, my friends got disappointed too and we would not be visiting that Bar Dolci anymore. Our life is very valuable just to get poisoned. 

I'm writing this not to make Bar Dolci look bad. I'm writing and sharing this to you because I am always honest to my thoughts and reviews and I don't want you to have this negative experience to any food establishment you are visiting. As a paying customers, we should be aware and be vigilant about our food that we order. Life is too short just to be wasted. 

Gladly, my friends are totally fine and no aftermath heath issues. But who knows, who will be get poisoned next time.


Have you experienced this kind of issues too?

Food Trip at Yoshinoya, Glorietta Branch

12:00:00 AM
Most of us are into affordable good food and I could say that Yoshinoya didn't fail me to experience that. Whenever I'm in Glorietta Mall in Makati and felt this hunger with me, the only easy and practical for me is to stop at Yoshinoya, enjoy each meal they could offer. I've managed to save each photos I've ordered from them, and I think you might find it good too. Check my first post here about Yoshinoya during last year's event with Miss Earth 2014 beauties, and here for my first review.
Have you tried dining at any branches of Yoshinoya? Tell us and share here your stories :)

Osonho Portuguese Fusion Restaurant

12:00:00 AM
It was one busy Thursday and every lunch time, I always wonder what my lunch will be. Having a strict veggie diet for weeks is tough but I’m getting used to it, but sometimes having a cheat-day doesn't hurt. Luckily, a friend of mine introduced Foodie.ph to me – a 24/7 online delivery service that is user-friendly and has lots of restaurant choices. 

If I will opt for a delivery service, I decided to choose a restaurant just near my office in Ayala Avenue. Out of curiosity, I decided to order something from Osonho Portuguese Restaurant. I’ve heard a lot of good reviews about it and I wanted to try something different. 

Osonho Portuguese Fusion Restaurant is the one of the modern dining restaurants in Makati City, which serves delectable cuisine at reasonable prices and enjoyable portions. They also accept orders for delivery via their partner site Foodie.ph. They delivered it on-time and without any hassles.

For the main course, I ordered Peri peri Chicken on Fragrant Chicken Rice and Seafood Paella / Paella do Mar. And for my salad I chose House Greens / Casa Salada Verde.

Enjoy the Fine Dining at Chateau 1771

10:19:00 AM



Chateau 1771 is now multi-acclaimed fine dining restaurant. Consider as one on Manila's best and an institution by many, it is well-known for its patented "No Borders Cuisine" - delectable innovation on Swiss, French, and Italian favorites prepared with plenty of flair and imagination to suit the Filipino palate for a generation to date, Chateau 1771 continues develop a loyal following among Filipinos and even foreigners and expatriates.


Nothing makes me feel happier than having a sumptuous meal and relaxing to a very chic European-inspired place like Chateau 1771. This is what I like about spending my free time in Greenbelt - good restaurants, good food, and lots of interesting people. Here are some of my captured photo using my iPhone 3G. I really enjoyed the place, echoing soft relaxing Spanish music, very chic feels like you are in simple place in Europe. 


Their mushroom soap makes me crave for more. As we say in our local dialect, "Soup palang, ulam na!"


Though I've cut my meat consumption and switch to eating more veggies (yes I'm semi-vegetarian now!) I can't resist their roasted lamb. So nice to chew because of their softness and the taste so intense that you will  crave more. I've just took just one serving, hehehe which is enough for me.


 .. And of course my favorite Caesar Salad! They prepared it neatly and nicely that everyone will enjoy eating it even you are not a vegetarian :) I am inviting you all to have a quick trip to Chateau 1771 located at Greenbelt 5, Makati City. Fine dining with style.

Barcino Wine Resto Bar: a Special Place for Special People

8:39:00 AM

My first wine tasting experience is with my loving Dad. He taught me his knowledge about the importance that I should know about wines, its bouquet, its palate, and also their color. Since then I acquired those knowledge from Dad, I overcome the awkwardness to try different wines.

I always find Barcino a special place to dine with my special friends. I mean, maybe because of its unidentified feeling about its cozy Spanish interior, and how they specifically arrange their wine selections. I was so inspired that I finally took these photos from my recent dinner with a friend. 


Another thing I like about this place is how they entertain their customers thru a very approachable manners, pleasant smiles, and of course the classic Spanish music playing in the background. I am a fan of Jennifer Lopez's Spanish musics, especially the "No Me Ames (or Don't Love Me)" , and this is the place that I could here these classics. By the way I dine at their branch in Greenbelt 2. I'm just wishing that they have branch in The Fort too!


This place is very good to relax and unwind with intellectual friends of mine. Photos taken using my Apple iPhone 3GS

Have you ever tried dining at some wine restaurants in town?

MIYABI - Japanese Fine Dining and Sushi Bar

4:05:00 PM

Located at the 2nd Floor, Adriatico Square, Pan Pacific Manila - Miyabi Restaurant is my favorite spot to hang-out and spend my lovely dinner. Each time I went to Malate, Miyabi is always on my list. 


Here's their wide selections of menu, that I myself can't memorized. Coz all I think is "I'm hungry and I want to eat Miyabi cuisine now!"


The simplicity of the interior makes this restaurant a pleasant to dine-in and to have a peaceful moment, while appreciating your food. I also love how the staffs pleasantly greets their customers, and gives an extra mile to their services. Very tidy indeed.



My Japanese special friend, whom I'm with during my visit shows me the proper Japanese table etiquette. He said a lot of things and explanations. The arrangement represents the yin and yang whatever... but the only thing that I remember is "The hashi (chopstick) always comes with the stand. Without it, it's unlucky."


simple accessories for a simple dinner event.


they cooked these beef so tender and soft. You can savor its taste up to the last bite.


my favorite - California Maki

 well presentable and artistic... that's food in Japanese cuisine - there's always an ART


while waiting for your meal, you can grab some latest reads in here - from fashion and lifestyle magazines, technology and games, even sports - they all have it!


Each time that you dine in Miyabi, they will give a a 5% discount coupon, valid for 1 week. This promotion encourages customers to come back and avail the said promotion. Miyabi is worth spending for.
