Last October 22, 2014 , I was invited to try the Tornado Peri-Peri Chicken.

To be honest, the last time i tried eating a peri-peri chicken 

at other restaurant i really didn't like it.

But, I have decided to try Tornado Peri-Peri Chicken 

since it's a different restaurant from what I've tried before.

Calling all the teen bloggers out there!

This now your chance to join I Know Write MNL 3rd event.

It's now time to meet and mingle with fellow teen bloggers once again and be inspired to blog responsibly and ignite change one blog post at a time

Another food review again for everyone, maybe i really need to accept the fact 

that i will gain a lot of weight because of doing food reviews. But! I can't help it. I love to eat!

This time, I am really happy because the location of this restaurant is near our place.

Travelling time was just 5-10 mins so I'm a happy kid (haha)

I am talking about

THE URBAN CAFE

The Urban Cafe is located at the Wilcon City Center, 121 Visayas Avenue.

Last, October 17, 2014 I am one of the bloggers who was invited at the
grand opening of The Urban Cafe.

For me, a good interior attracts more customers and as you can see

 The Urban Cafe's interior is really good. It's very enticing and 

I salute those interns who did a great job with the urban cafe's interior.

From the lights, tables and even the plates it was all beautiful!

Those interns were really a pro! Too bad i was too shy to ask their names.

Do you know what's good about The Urban Cafe?

They serve wines and cheese platter!

which is so perfect when you really want to drink, relax and breathe.

They also serve pastries, pasta and coffee.

But, do you want to know what's the perfect partner of their wine?

The Crocodile Meat!

Yes! a crocodile.

At first i was really shocked that they are serving croc meats.

I never ate an exotic food in my entire life but i realized that 

we only live once so why not give it a try.

Do you know that crocodile meat is good for our body?

According to Kroceries , Crocodile meat is a low-fat, low cholesterol and high protein meat. Crocodile meat is not only delicious, it is good for your heart, lungs, blood circulation and it is known to cure asthma and coughing problems. The crocodile bone contains a lot of calcium and phosphorus, can be used for the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis in the elderly, infants for calcium deficiency, and efficacy for improving rheumatism. 

Here's some of the crocodile dishes that i've tried.

The Farm Bred Croc Tapa (P195) 

Tender crocodile strips marinated in their own tapa garlic sauce.

I never thought i would love to eat crocodile meat.

Honestly, it is really delicious! especially the Heart Smart Croc Tocino.

It is a must try!

If you're still hesitant to try the crocodile meat, 

The Urban Cafe also serves pork, chicken, beef, burgers and pasta!

The Pasta Carbonara (P145)

Creamy chickensauce with smoked bacon mushrooms.

The Pasta Arrabbiatta (P160)

Pasta like you've never tasted before! Served with extra super jumbo sausage.

As for my drink, I tried

The Almond Mocha Rocca (P160)

The Urban Cafe is really a perfect place to relax and eat without anything to worry about.

It is also a perfect place where you can do some paper works and thesis.

A perfect place where you, your family and friends can enjoy.

I am really interested because it will be my first time to visit Ace hotel & suites.

As we've entered, Sky Garden was really a place where you and your partner would enjoy.

The table settings and the ambiance were very romantic and I am really glad that i am with my partner when i visited the Sky Garden.

Skygarden serves international dishes and asian delicacies.

For our starter meal, they served us a Garlic bread with Mushroom Antipasto.

I love garlic bread and its combination with the mushroom antipasto was really great.

I was really really full but i really can't resist! The main course meal was really tempting!

For our Main Course, We can choose between the Rib Eye Steak with Sauteed Arugula and Mashed Potato, Prawns with Salted Herring Pasta, Corniche Chicken with Organic Wild Rice Pilaf, Pan Grilled U.S. Porkloin with Sauteed Diced Potatoes and lastly, the Chilean Seafood Risotto.

My partner chose the Prawns with Salted Herring Pasta while i decided to try the

 Rib-eye Steak with Sauteed Arugula and Mashed Potato

I tried them both and i must say that both of them were really delicious.

I love pasta and steak!

We've also tried this Strawberry drink. (Sorry i forgot the name)
