Yesterday Yaya wanted to eat outside, she couldn’t eat the food they had for lunch because of allergies. We decided to eat at our favorite place in times of crisis. We went to North Atrium, a mall near her place and ate at Andoks. This used to be a take out food stop, but recently they converted it to a fastfood restaurant. We regularly eat here because the food here is cheap, tasty and their servings are big. We usually spend half here compared to other restaurant and every time we eat here we always go out with our bellies bulging and our pants tight.
Their specialty is there Liempo, which is basically roasted pork belly. Its really tasty but I suggest you don’t eat this dish regularly since it is packed with fat and high cholesterol. One dish can serve two persons so we ordinarily order one.
Next is a little veggies to counter the cholesterol. We usually order the chopsuey, aside from the reason that Yaya loves it, they have no other vegetable dish in their menu. *grin*
I also ordered an additional spaghetti cause I felt my gluttonous mood kicking in. Another specialty of Andoks is there very famous roasted chicken. Its a little obvious from there logo. *smirk* We didn’t order chicken cause that was the food Yaya avoided at her house because of her allergies. hehehe
I would recommend this restaurant for people with a tight budget and big appetite. This wouldn’t be a perfect place for a date but it sure would be a perfect place to grab a bite. Another thing you would notice is the lack of diversity of the menu. In due time I think they’re going to introduce more dishes in their menu. After all they’re still new in the fast food industry so let’s just wait and see.

The other night Yaya and I spent time together after work. We were in the mood for good food but there was just a tiny problem. We didn’t have enough money to spend for a fancy romantic dinner together. That night we were so hungry we had an insatiable appetite for a large meal.
I kept on pondering where would be the best place to eat. While I was thinking I couldn’t stop thinking about a tasty dish of Baby Back Ribs. Then I remembered that there was a restaurant on the next corner which Yaya always wanted to go.
I suggested to Yaya that we eat at Mooon Cafe, yes Mooon with three o’s. It’s actually an old house which was renovated into a restaurant. There menu consist mostly of Mexican Dishes ranging from Taco’s, Tortillas, Chimichanga and Quesadillas. They also have meals which have large servings and are very tasty. There customers are usually student’s and yuppies since the place is affordable and has a really good ambiance especially during the evening.
When we arrived there the waiter handed to us the menu and I really didn’t need to look at there menu. I instantly told him “one baby back ribs please”. While we were waiting for our order to arrive I was already anticipating for that mouth watering baby back ribs. When our order arrived I was in for a shock, I never expected there servings to be that huge. The steak occupied more than half my plate. No wonder there place was always full even during week days. After that sumptuous meal, Yaya ordered dessert which was also a large serving. At the end of the night we both got what we wanted even within the limits of our tight budget. A romantic dinner together and a full stomach.hehehe
