Pinto Revisited, Siraulo Lunch and Lunch with the Family at Kulay Diwa

It was an artsy-fartsy relaxing weekend for us which is actually Sofia's idea of fun. With nothing really planned for Saturday, we impulsively decided to make the trip to Antipolo so we could take my Aunt, who's visiting from the States, to Pinto Art Museum, and so we could also buy suman (sticky rice rolls) and cashew nuts which are all sold beside the famous Antipolo Church.

I've been to Pinto Art Museum before, and I knew Sofia and my aunt would enjoy it so we went just in time to have a late lunch.

Sofia read looked at the pictures from the post I wrote on Pinto, so before we could go straight to lunch at Siraulo sa Pinto by Bizu, we had to stop so Sofia could also take pictures where she saw me and my friends posing.

Looks like the hula hoops are too big for this little girl. 

After a few stops, we just took the short way to the restaurant, and we just worked our way back after we ate. The service at the restaurant was extremely slow, but the food was quite good when it finally arrived. Servings are small though so it felt mejo bitin.

We ordered the duck and truffle pasta dishes,
fried sole and roast chicken. 

The main dishes (non-pasta) were the best value because for Php595, it comes with Soup of the Day - the Tomato Soup was good unless we were just starving, and dessert (which is Php265 if ordered separately) was to die for.

The yema tart was so good! Though in reality, it's more puff pastry
than yema, but it's served with a big scoop of the best
Salted Caramel Ice Cream I've ever tasted. Goes really well with the tart!

We actually ended up ordering two main dishes because
Ady also wanted to try the Molten Chocolate Cake,
which was good in hindsight since the servings were really small.

It was only when they brought out the dessert did we realize why it took so long, it probably took them forever to paint the trees on the dessert plates, but it was definitely in tune with the ambiance of the place.

The two chocoholics were happy.

After lunch, we did more exploring to burn off the carbs.

Sofia was jut running around everywhere!

But she would occasionally stop for a few more model poses.

We couldn't resist taking a picture with the inverted pirate.

We would have loved to walk around some more but we had to run when the sky started getting dark. We made it just in time to buy the suman and cashews from beside the church before it started pouring. Over-all it was a good outing and we were all happy we decided to go.

But our artsy-fartsy weekend was in no way over. Tito Bobbit invited us for Sunday lunch at Kulay Diwa, an art gallery which was also his home.

Count that! I spy 1 - 2 - 3 little piggies!
Charlie was able to blow their house down so they became pritchon!

We were less than 20 people so there was even pritchon
left over for dinner. Yummy!

There was also pasta

and prawns and so much other food.

Sofia ate so fast because she wanted to run around and play.

We had to take a picture with our matching shorts
because Sof wanted to jump into the pool.

If Sofia were a little mermaid she'd look like this.
She's such a water baby she went swimming in her undies
 because she didn't bring her swimsuit.

Thanks for inviting us over Tito Bobbit! The company was great and the three little piggie pritchon was excellent.  Hope your CCTV wasn't working. just saying.
