Dinner @ Dulcinea

Last Saturday, we celebrated my birthday (belated birthday celebration) @ MOA with my friends and family. The girls and I had a great bonding over coffee @ Bo's Coffee - MOA, but sad that we only had 3 hours of chika and catching up that day.

After that, my family and I went to Dulcinea for dinner. I must admit that this was the first time I ate there, and I had pretty high expectations of the food from what I have heard from my hubby. The food was great, and did not disappoint.

The carrot soup was served first, and while I really do not like eating carrots, I loved this soup. It was light, and well-seasoned, a great starter to our meal.

Dad ordered Gypsy steak, and by the looks of his plate after dinner, I would have to say that he liked it.

Mommy and I shared an order of Paella Valenciana, which is already good for two people ( but from the looks of it, 3 people would be happy to share this dish). It was good, loved the abundance of topping and how the lemon really brings out the flavor of the saffron rice. The shrimp and the squid were cooked well, juicy and soft to the bite. I was really happy with this dish.

Hubby ordered Pollo Rollo, a roll of chicken, ham and cheese. And him being a chicken dish lover, he was really happy with it. The chicken was moist, and the crust was crispy. So he was a happy camper.

We also had calamares to go with our Paella Valenciana, and I would have to say this was one of the best calamares I have had. The squid was perfectly cooked, and melted like butter. Yum!

And my favorite part of the meal:

Churros Con Chocolate!!! It's so good I can finish all the churros and down the chocolate after. Loved it! Will definitely buy this one next time we go to MOA. It was the perfect ending to a wonderful meal.

Scored this one after our meal, so I was like walking on clouds that night:

I am such a card addict (membership card, privilege card, rewards card, etc. etc.), so this made me really happy. The perks?

• Free featured dessert.
• 15% discount on food and beverage purchases.

How to score it? Just purchase P1000 worth of food and beverage @ Dulcinea and you're qualified to get one. Fun, right?

Oh, by the way, the card is valid at all Dulcinea Outlets. And also, click here (pdf) or here (html) for their menu. Although its not from their official site, the menu is pretty accurate.

TNT!
