MUNCHSTER BITES: Spring by Ha Yuan

One of our New Year's resolution: Be FIT! So this means daily exercise routines and diet by eating healthy and portion control.

It was a great decision that I availed a voucher from Spring by Ha Yuan last year (P150 for P400 worth of food and drinks) because they have various menu options for health conscious diners.

Redemption was a breeze! We were promptly welcomed and ushered to our seat by Mike. There were only a few people dinning that time probably because we arrived around 2:00 pm and like most Chinese restaurants they offer you unlimited hot tea.  

I was looking into trying something healthy so I looked through their vegetarian food offerings while Bee as usual looked over the meat options. 

My order:
Monk's Plate, dry tossed noodles in soy sauce, grilled tofu, shitake mushrooms, red bell peppers, pechay and topped with peanuts. Served with peanut sauce. Both of us loved this dish! Definitely a must try for first time Spring diners. 

Ha Yuan Signature Lumpia - regular size (Good for 2 persons)

Bee's Plate: 
Lechon Macau Rice Toppings, tender meat and crispy pork skin, ample amount of serving.  

Hairy Pig KaPao - snack size. Tip: Better get the regular size, more sulit. 

I was a bit disappointed because the Piggy Red Bean Pao was not available but the good thing is, we have a reason to go back :D

MUNCHSTER BITES: Sizzling Pepper Steak

A first Bee-Bii experience! Our post-christmas celebration at Sizzling Pepper Steak :D 

We often pass by Sizzling Pepper Steak but never dined in because of our limited budget. I was excited to see that they now offer value meals priced at P99/sizzling plate for budget conscious customers, regular meal prices range from P200 - P400. 

Don't be fooled by the menu, of course the menu looks better but for P99.00 there's nothing to complain about really. The food was okay, we don't get to choose the sauce compared to the regular menu where you have the option to choose from a variety of sauces. 

The roast beef slices were a bit fatty and rubbery, the sauce had peppery taste. 













Bee said that he couldn't find the shitake mushrooms. I liked his sauce better, very creamy.







Bee just arrived from his Baguio vacation and it is our first dinner out together for the year 2013. Turn the sign to moooove if you want to call the attention of the servers and they'll flip the sign to stop once they've addressed your request. 

I want to commend the service staff for excellent service and warm welcome. 

Meals for sharing:

GROUP MEALS

Hoping for the best this 2013. Another year full of love and achievements. 

Bite Cost: P100 up 

Munch worthy: Yes but if you have the budget better try their regular meals. 

Walker repeat: Not really, but if we have to well definitely go for the regular meals.
