Rufo's Famous Beef Tapa

      Been passing by Pasig San Miguel Avenue  when I notice the Rufo's sign at first I ignore it since everybody has there own version of Tapa.  My curiosity got the best in me when I saw Rufo's sign in East wood  Mall.  Maybe there food is not bad that they can open a many shop.  So when I have a meet up with teacher Mae of Eats a Date I saw there sign again along Shaw boulevard and I say to myself better try there products.

      The interior of Rufo's Shaw Boulevard Branch a bit small inside but they also have sitting area outside there store.

      The picture above is there version or fusion with the International dish and below is the local Filipino Food.  Since they are famous for their Beef Tapa have to order for take out for my kids to try.

      The packaging of Rufo's take out. Most of the time if I know I will be ordering take out usually bring my own container.  Really don't like many garbage especially styrofoam packing.

     My take out of Rufo's Beef tapa which cost at P99.00 per order, which consist of 1 sunny side up egg, 1 cup rice (wrap in paper) and the Beef tapa. I made 2 order of it.  The taste of the Beef Tapa is a bit sweet. And if you look at the picture carefully there is a bit oil on the side of the styrofoam which make it a bit oily. 

Cookbook Kitchen at Eastwood Cyber Mall

             The interior of Cookbook Kitchen really like home away from home.

      This is my order of Bacon and mushroom pasta suppose to be with bread but have already eaten it.

      The French fries for my grand daughter.  The dipping sauce for bread as you can see the bread is already gone.Hidden on the left side corner is my son order of bake fish in wasabi sauce. Sauce it not quite that spicy even if there is wasabi  really delicious and healthy

Pick up my prize at Fox International Office (Philippines)

      I won the contest at National Georgraphic Channel Philippines Test your brain contest. Pick up my prize at Fox International Office in Makati. Upon entering you will see this view of their conference room really a nice view of Makati City.

      The channel Fox International carry locally are posted on their wall; really quite a lot of choices but some of them are split into different cable providers.  Just wish they can give it to both cable (Sky and Destiny) so that we can choose which cable provider. Destiny cable is much cheaper than sky cable but don't have the star channel, fox crime, FX.

      This is the Director chair were they ask me to wait while looking for the person who handle National Geographic Channel contest.

     This is my prize the tote bag and cap at least it's worth the trip since the Tote bag is made from thick denim material and a bit heavy I will say. There was actually 2 winner for the tote bag and cap.The grand prize was P25K which I don't know who is the winner since writing this blog they have not yet announce it.
