Merry Christmas to me! 
Thank you to my Mandi’s Grill Grub family for the ribs, cable TV & Netflix for the Christmas movies, and Messenger for the video chat with my family in the US. Alone but not lonely! 
When Mandi’s Grill Grub closed last year, fellow patrons and I were heartbroken. It was a place where we shared good food and stories with our loved ones. I was there so often that people thought I co-owned the place haha! It was a tradition for me and my sister to have Christmas Eve lunch there for many years…it was like our second home! 
Glad that they’re somehow back in our lives, bringing happiness to our tummies and hearts! Thank you po, Tito Joy, Tita Lia, and Mandi! Sobrang na miss po namin kayo at ang food niyo! 
On the table: crispy baby back ribs with Béchamel sauce. This dish is dear to me because I helped in perfecting the recipe.

My last meal from Mandi’s Grill Grub: crispy baby back ribs. I will miss all your kitchen experiments, great food, warm staff, and awesome service! 😭

If you have time today, do dine at Mandi’s/Kanto Ribs. It’s their last day today in Marikina, but hopefully, we’ll see them again in Pampanga. Still sad, though. These guys are like a second family to me.

Because three of us have work today, Christmas Eve, we decided to do our tradition yesterday: have a hearty meal at our favorite Lilac Street resto: Mandi’s Grill Grub a.k.a. Kanto Ribs. On the table: beef adobo, crispy liempo, salmon, pork adobo, beef camto soup, sisig surprise, and BBQ! Happy holidays!

Found time to visit my happy place along Lilac to eat some ribs. I feel emotional this week because of my least disliked aunt – Flow. On the other hand, that’s one thing I won’t have to worry about when I travel in 2 weeks!

Meet-ups with the besties warrant delicious food, and of course, our happy place, Mandi’s Grill Grub, never fails to wow our tummies.

One of the new items on Mandi’s Grill Grub menu is camto tendon noodles, and my sister & I absolutely enjoyed it!!! I actually tried their camto soup with rice last week, but I prefer the one with noodles because the soup’s creamier! Perfect for the rainy season! ❤
What The F!
