Hi everyone! Wanted to ask ano usual go-to dishes niyo when cooking for picky eaters sa family niyo? Like yung children and senior citizens who only stick to 5 rotating dishes because ayaw nila ng gulay and ayaw nila ng beef or pork (and sometimes ayaw din isda😭)
Sawa na ako sa instant noodles at canned goods and different types of itlog huhu. Puro na processed food bc of the children pero ayaw ni mama. Sawa na rin mga bata sa tinola-adobo-sinigang-bangus lineup ni mama kasi yan lang gusto niyang kainin omfg. Plus ayaw nila ng menudo or afritada — anyth tomato based 😭 Everytime i cook gulay di rin nauubos naurr

I want variety bc I grew up eating any ulam on the plate pero idk w the younger sibs and my parents na tumatandang paurong 😭😭😭😭

Celebrated my Fiancee's birthday a couple weeks ago at Gallery by Chele. One of the top restaurants in the country and it really lives up to its reputation. It was a really long tasting menu (I posted the menu with everything we ate) and the meal lasted near 4 hours. I know people will scoff at high end cuisine saying you pay thousands of pesos and you leave hungry. Not here. You are constantly eating the 3-4 hours you're here. And you're learning about what you eat in between. Mind you I love a good silog meal that fills me up and a trip to Vikings is a better dollar value for getting full. But this is an experience as much as it is a meal.

The food itself was overall very good. You have highlights like the Shio Lobster and Fired! Pulpo, as well as questionable dishes like the Abalone Arroz Caldo and Blossom (vegetable course). There was even an A5 Wagyu course to remind you that your bill was going to be expensive at the end. Like I said earlier, we were stuffed and the following day, my fiancee and I craved only light food. All said and done, it was a great experience. As a note, the service was extremely high end, where I had a suspicion that the team would carry me out the door if requested.

This was my second tasting menu in Manila, the other was Toyo. Both being a couple of the biggest names in Filipino restaurant culture, it's hard not to compare. My opinion only, but I do like Toyo a little bit better. There was a bit more fun with their tasting menu and the dishes were better explained. Both meals had great dishes and Gallery uses pricier and flashier ingredients, but Toyo's menu felt better curated. As an aside, the drink accompaniments were a lot better at Toyo's. Gallery's drinks leaned too heavily on the fermentations and half the cocktails tasted like kombucha.

** Meal was priced at a little under ₱18,000 if I can recall and that was for 2 people, drinks and service charges.
