A couple of days ago, we wanted to meet for lunch at Gourdo's Cafe. Last time we were there, we had beer and pizza. Unfortunately, the cafe is now closed (Why so?) and so we hopped on the next restaurant, Tourne. Only a couple of weeks old, Tourne has a nice vibe to it. I love the all-white interiors, kinda reminds me of my bedroom. Tourne's chef is an advocate of the slow food movement. Everything served here is thus prepared by hand. Sort of reminds me of Ms. B's Tuckshop but more upscale.
J wasn't too hungry so she just ordered a shrimp and pesto pizza. Because I was hungry, I had a couple of slices of hers. The crust had the right kind of crunch, but I found the shrimps a bit dry.
I had some tomato soup to start. It was OK. The ravioli with ricotta cheese was delicious, but I was disappointed with the portion. There were only three pieces of ravioli topped with baby sweet potatoes. They just looked so lonely on the humongous plate. Since the dish was P308, it came out to P100 per ravioli. When I had dinner at 8 Spices a couple of days later, we had this lovely slow-cooked pork ribs in honey sauce. There were about five ribs in there in one order, which was priced at P320. I know it's not fair to compare, but I can't help it!!
Although my stomach was far from satisfied, my spirits weren't. J was handling the gala night of Manilart and I was able to get in before everybody else. While I was feasting on works of art, a choir was practicing for their number later on. Because their maestro was such a perfectionist, they kept going over and over Ikaw Lamang with their awesome voices. It was heaven!
