Persian Kabab

Throwing all dieting sensibilities aside, here am I and my gayest bestfriend, Carlo, at my favorite Persian food diner, Persian Kabab at Pioneer Street, Mandaluyong. It is seriously the cheapest Persian restaurant in existence. Even cheaper than on-the-go shawarma food stalls. You see, I have a love-hate relationship with Persian food. I enjoy eating it but after that I just want to barf it all out. Whatever things they put in there doesn't sit well with my stomach. I don't know if it's the spice or the yogurt shake or the garlic mayonnaise. The ONLY shawarma that doesn't hurt me is Tri-Mo Shawarma at Lagro, Quezon City but that one isn't even authentic. It's more Filipino. We had the place to ourselves. The server was super sleepy and assumed sleeping mode position on the sofa inside the restaurant, but she was fun. Can't blame her, we were the only customers, this day being a Monday dawn.













After all the beef, ox brains, hummus and spicy mayo that we had, we knew that we needed something else to hold down the acids gurgling in our tummies. We went straight to McDonalds and had some hot chocolate and more acid fries.





Have a good week!

Tales from the NomNom Table

Tales so dark, you can hardly see. 

The Seductress of Pioneer Street

Here we are at one of our favorite pure NomNom places, Central @ Madison Square, Pioneer Street, Mandaluyong. This was on a Saturday so we were out of luck in securing a spot on the dark, candlelit side where all the fun happens. We got this sad, sorry, soundless space near the entrance where the healthy-looking bouncers intimidate. This is one of those rare places that no visit passes by without me seeing people pass out and get raped and get carried out by their hapless nomnom friends. I swore it scared the shit out of me when someone just fell on the bathroom floor and was having what looked like a seizure, and laid on what looked like a pool of vomit. Eww. In my full view on the door slits while having a whizz. And take note, that person wasn't even a girl, but a 6 foot tall transsexual in the ladies room. Nobody helped the poor chap to get up. I guess he's kinda heavy. She's still a boy, after all.
