mama’s table, encore
One month after my first experience, I came back to Mama’s Table for another treat. Being that it was my second time, chef Vicky Tinio-Clemente mad sure that there were no repeat dishes.
As usual, it was a feast of the senses… Amazed at her creativity and ingenious blend of flavors, I leave you to take a look at the photos (and descriptions) to get an idea of just what a scrumptious experience one lunch at Mama’s Table can be.

Texas Roadhouse Grill
Just a few hours ago, I had an extremely fulfilling meal — and I was just taking bites in between schmoozing with the bloggers and resto management.
Texas Roadhouse Grill, with the participation of Pepsi held a sumptuous event at the TRG El pueblo branch last night and offered a wide array of dishes. From soups to salads from surf to turf, and of course, the evening was capped off with a delicious bit of dessert.
The meal commenced with a Tortilla Soup: a hearty starter packed with bits of chicken, corn and ham topped with slivers of crisp and crunchy tortillas. The soup in itself is quite filling, with all of the ingredients packed into a small bowl. Those that are into the Tex-Mex taste, this is a definite must-try.
Of course, what are starters without appetizers? To satisfy the growing hunger, the bloggers were also served the Jesse James Sampler — a platter of buffalo wings and cheese fritters just to whet the appetites.
isaw time
Today, we had a bit of free time. As a small reward (for a long week) we headed over to grab some artery clogging, carcinogen filled isaw goodness.
