Herb Republic ~ Certified Organic Food (Los Banos, Laguna)

Last Thursday we had a different kind of lunch, an Organic One and my first taste of Organic Cooking.
The entrance to Herb Republic is via a Wooden Archway and it will lead you to a Green and Native inspired Dining Area. There are different choices of dining areas to choose from, there are the Native Huts at the back side, the regular dining area on the right side, and another dining area on the left side.



We started off with the French Onion Soup. Then the Roasted Rose Mary Chicken, Crispy Spinach and Crispy Pata. We ordered Lemon Grass Drink to gulp it all down.




The French Onion Soup tasted different from the French Onion Soup’s I am used to. It was not as creamy as the regular french Onion Soup and there was no taste of Onions or hint of Onion.
The Roasted Rose Mary Chicken meanwhile lacked that juiciness and flavor I was expecting of a Roasted Rose Mary Chicken. Even with the 3 Dips provided it still lacked flavor. The Crispy Pata meanwhile was okay, but the meat wasnt juicy like other Crispy Pata’s i have tasted.

Service was Excellent, this is one part wherein they are tops. Food here is geared towards the health conscious. Obviously I am not health conscious so i really look for flavor in what i eat. I need those salty and sweet flavor plus spiciness. If you are looking for something healthy, and you really want to be assured that what you are eating is organic then Herb Republic is the restaurant for you.

At the back, you will find a Herb Garden. This is where they get their herbs for the food they serve.



Herb Republic is located along the Nati0nal Highway (Left side) going to Bay. It is just before Mer Nells (The new one).

    The presentation is definitely appealing. they have a lot of other dishes so there is definitely something there which will satisfy. But for the health conscious, this restaurant should definitely be on their list. They use all organic ingredients, so you are sure that what you are eating were not sprayed with chemicals.

Aling Pining's Crispy Pata (La Loma, Quezon City)

Image
One of Metro Manila's BEST Crispy Pata can be found in a Garage. I found about Aling Pining's Crispy Pata in a FB Comment a few months ago. The Commenter just said the best Crispy Pata can be found in a Garage in Halcon Street in La Loma. With Just Halcon Street as the address we went to La Loma 2 weeks ago in search of Halcon Street Crispy Pata. When we arrived at Halcon Street we just asked the people there where we can buy Crispy Pata. We passed by it already it turned out. It was indeed just a garage. It had a small sign. Halcon Street Crispy Pata was Aling Pinings Crispy Pata.  An Old Lady was the one frying the Crispy Pata. While a middle aged woman  was the one accepting orders. We bought a Crispy Pata (P400) and we were on our way. At home we were eager to finally taste the Crispy Pata. It did not disappoint. The trip to La Loma was worth it. Is it the best? My mom said the one in Marinduque is still the best. For me? Well i need to go back t...

D' Original Matutina's Seafood Restaurant (Dagupan, Pangasinan)

Image
The first time I heard about Matutina's was a few years ago when it was mentioned in the Inquirer that it is a favorite Restaurant of Former President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo. Since it was a long drive just to sample their food I had a hard time adjusting an open schedule just to go all the way to Pangasinan.  This morning we were able to finally find time to go all the way to Dagupan, Pangasinan to sample Matutina's. The one we went to is the D'Original Matutina's in Tondaligan, Dagupan, Pangasinan. They have another branch in Urdaneta Also. There is a Matutina's in Tarlac City but i guess this is not connected with the Matutina's. We Ordered the following: Sizzling Bangus - This was just Delicious. The Bangus was Milky. Meat was just perfect.  Inihaw na Pusit - Grilled to perfection. The Squid was tender. Buttered Shrimps - though it was not the buttter shrimp i wished for, the freshness of the shrimps made it good enough ...

If you are craving for Palabok and Tokwa't Baboy, the best place to go to is Tita Lulu's.  They serve delicious Palabok at Tita Lulu's (Located in front of PureGold Agora, inside the big parking lot). Always say you want the thin noodles when you order Palabok as it is better. The Tokwa't Baboy is equally delicious. Never forget to buy the palabok and tokwa't baboy together as they complement each other.
