Anniversary Date: Mexican Style
by: anakngkidlat
My wife and I had been married for 3 years and what we do have in common when it comes to food is that we try something new. (although in some cases she would regret doing so) We tried to check what delicacy that we have not ventured yet. I for one is more open minded when it comes to international dishes so I suggested a few. After a few deliberations, we both agreed to try Mexican. We also thought of the budget as most people would say "Sing sarap pero di sing mahal". One way to stay on budget is to avail coupons specifically from Deal Grocer. Luckily, my wife saw a deal from Ristra's and we got it right away.
We were at BGC by 8 pm and we nearly got lost because were not familiar with the place. Finally we got in and get settled.
Did you know that their restaurant name "Ristra" means an arrangement of chili pods primarily for preservation or decorative purposes. And the staple elements of Mexican food mostly are corn and beans? of course there are a lot of ingredients in between =). So going back to my story, ordered our food based from the menu available from the coupon we got.
As I have mentioned earlier about my wife's regretting about trying new food, she said that she was not satisfied with the taste of the food. For me, I could say that it was just fine and my stomach is full.
