last Friday I was invited by Rhiza (one of the many cherished friend of Malou) to dine and enjoy an Acid Jazz night at their place which is an Italian resto near Tiendesitas, Al Dente … haaay naku dinaanan pa namin si Ail sa G3 and grabeeee yung busina ng mga sasakyan sa likod namin while waiting for her kC iisang lane na nga lng nag double park pa ang iba, hahaha.

anyway, sobrang tagal na rin na di ako nka balik sa Al Dente and it was kewl to be back there though it was a bit sad since Malou wasn’t around which usually we go there together *mwuah! … I had the Rigatoni pasta which is very tasty plus I put a lot of parmesan cheese like what Malou does but a bit less siguro compared to her, bwhahaha

I forgot the name of the band but it was kewl to hear jazz music again with a lil bit of bosa nova’s mix while dinning with the seesters and enjoying the crowd

its my rigatoni pasta, yummy!!

al dente [al-DEN-tay] (adj) an Italian phrase meaning “to the tooth,” used to describe pasta or other food that is cooked only until it offers a slight resistance when bitten into, but which is not soft or overdone.

A quaint restaurant near Tiendesitas serves a great variety of Italian food. So today … today we had Italian.

Al Dente. A restaurant near Tiendesitas, in front of SM HyperMarket, and along Starbucks (o di ba ang daming landmarks? Di ko lang kasi maalala ang exact address) is co-owned by a friend of ours. She invited us over today for their soft opening. So off we went and had a sumptuous meal at Al Dente (emphasis on sumptuous) .

For pasta lovers, you would get your money’s worth with their generous and delicious servings. For pizza lovers, get a taste of the Roman biscuit crust! For meat lovers, their main dishes are deliriously great as well (though we haven’t sampled these dishes yet as we were quite pleasantly full with everything we’ve ordered). For vegetarians, they have a variety of salad choices as well. And since I have a sweet tooth, they have a dessert which is to die for, “Death by Chocolate”. Yep, that is the dessert’s name. Very yummy! So yummy that Tipoy finished it off before I could blink. Hmmmm … speaking of which, I’m craving for a slice of it right now.

Death by Chocolate … yummy
