Bhajia Grilled Pizza: Great White, Pizza Overload + Nachos and Fries!

Have you guys been to Bhajia Grilled Pizza, where 99% of everything they serve is grilled and comes with pizza toppings?! You haven't been there? Go visit the store now and don't forget to invite me! haha (Oh and they also serve burgers... Ah-- if only it was allowed to be a hermit and actually live in their kitchen).

Pizza Fries and Pizza Nachos. Man, was I in heaven?  Because if not, I think I just had a taste of it. I know you see them- the generous amount of cheese, cheese and endless pizza toppings! The fries were equally soft and crunchy, and the nachos were so... well, nacho-eey(?) that adding pizza toppings to them made them extra unforgettable!

Pizza Overload. You know it. Pizza with everything the chef could think of... mostly the drool-worthy meat. Yummeeehh!

Great White Pizza. I am absolutely 100% positively going back to Bhajia for this! This is my new favorite pizza! They say this is one of the store's best-sellers too- no doubt it deserves to be on the top list! The cheese, oh oh wow, it was the bomb.... no, it was the father of all bombs!!! This pizza looked even sexier with the bacon put on top of it.

Bhajia chips. This one was a freebie from our friend Kena (whose brother is the co-owner of Bhajia Grilled Pizza). The chips tasted simple and quite familiar, but the sauce that came with it was SO good it reminded me of India (though i've never been there hahaha hihihi this is an Indian comfort food fyi) I was secretly hoping my friends were too full to finish the chips so I can have the rest to myself! *cue Mandark's evil laugh*

Bhajia's pizzas, fries, nachos and chips with a side dish of endless chikka definitely switched my tiring day into an awesome one! Food just tastes so much better when you're with your friends!

Beef + Scallops + Laing + Ostrich, The Mesa Way

Ahhh~ there's too much food loving in my beautiful city! Tonight, I've discovered another restaurant that unmercifully busted the doors of my digestive system and just had my intestines waving in sync and shouting "Allelujah!!" while grinding the delicious pieces of their food. 

Although I've come to pass by Mesa a million times and ignored the place a bazillion times over (usually there are too many costumers inside that i think there's no space left even for my midget body hehe), something about the place gives me this buzzy feeling (prolly because of the swarming costumers?) that had me eternally curious about their dishes, until we finally dined in last night.

We settled ourselves in this little hut-like table that made us feel we like were somewhere along the dark shores of a secluded beach (choz!). The glasses wherein they served the water were uniquely inspired by bamboo branches!

For our appetizer, we had Baked Scallops with Garlic Butter. It was the best baked scallops I've tried!!... Well, second best if I include my boyfriend's mom's baked tahong (100% no bias on this one. nope. hahaha!). The carneous scallops went so well with the creamy garlic butter! I kept my eye on this dish the whole time, until my boyfriend decided to be a hungry hellhound and ate the last few pieces I've been wanting to devour.

For the vegetable menu, we ordered Laing 2 Ways. To be honest, I'm not the biggest fan of Laing, but tonight was an exception. I couldn't choose which one of the two versions (L-R: Laing with coconut cream; crispy Laing) were better, because both tasted SO good.

Drunken Ostrich. "It looks like chicken, but it tastes like beef!", True that. The meat was firm, with the natural sweetness of the accompanying mushrooms, herbs, sauce and spices.

Beef 2 Ways. Wow, oh, just. w.o.w. This one's my favorite among the rest. The moment I took a spoonful of this curry-like dish in my mouth, my tongue, my teeth, and my palates just died right here & there and quickly resurrected in an instant! The tenderness of the beef with the oh-so creamy coconut plus the right amount of spices had my eyeballs skip rolling on the river and straight to the ocean!

Thanks kuya JP for the treat! xo
