Two Sunday’s ago, my family and I ate at this newly opened restaurant at where else, but in Eastwood Mall Veranda. Actually, I think it is not really “new” as it opened last month right after we left for vacation. Anyway, I’m talking about Buenisimo by Café Ysabel. Yes, the Café Ysabel that we all used to love. It is one of my family’s fave resto since I was a kid. I remember we usually eat at their antique style San Juan branch almost every Sunday for lunch. And when my mom saw Buenisimo, she immediately said that we would be eating dinner there.
The moment we got inside the restaurant, there was a big group already seated waiting for their orders. When I glanced at them, everyone looked so familiar. It was the Cojuanco’s. Hehehe!
Okay, just a side showbiz chizmax, we all know that China Cojuanco is now a chef. Well, for those who doesn’t know, now you know. Hehehe! Her current boyfriend is Chef Gino Gonzales, the son of the famous Gene Gonzales. They own Café Ysabel, which is probably why the Cojuanco’s were there. Hehehe! But really, even if this prominent family did not have any connections with the owners, I’m quite sure they would still be eating at Buenisimo. It is a restaurant that will surely be visited by either common or famous people. Why? The food is just sooo delicious!!! I suddenly missed my childhood days! When I was a kid, I only ordered their pasta, pasta, and only pasta! Hehehe! Well, at least this time, we tried something else, but of course, their pasta will always be part of our meal.
Take a look at what we ordered below. Pardon the pictures as I only used my camera phone. I forgot to bring my cameras! Errrr!
