I remembered the first time we went to Gerry’s way back when it still had a big place along Jupiter.  We went there as an army of alcoholics to check out this new place that everyone was talking about.  We were there for the feel of the place and for the ice cold beer.  We ordered the sizzling squid for the sole purpose of pulutan (beer match).  We ended up ordering rice and having a hefty meal sharing one order.  Those were the days.

Anyway, they have a new item on the menu.  The Chili Cheese Sticks – an interesting concept and that’s why I’m posting it here.  Its a true Filipino twist on your typical cheese sticks.  I sort of enjoyed it – it was new to my taste.  And I love the green chilies.  But I have to warn you, its not for everyone.  Don’t be afraid, its not that hot / spicy – it won’t numb your tongue and mess up the night for you.  Its actually (in my opinion) an exciting new thing to try but only as a side dish.  You still have to order the sisig and in my world a must have and try is the tinomok.

Medyo blurred – gutom (hungry) na eh.

This is the tinomok – its the best!

If you’re planning to order the caesar salad and just salad for your meal – you should order the “to share” one because the single order, well, its not much if you ask me.   But the dressing was good and tasty.

Here are some shots of my Arroz ala Cubana.  It tasted real good and I wish I had more.  I remember when I first fell in love with this dish in the canteen of CSA when I was still in grade school.  It was served with fried eggs and fried bananas.  The bacon was a bonus – I think.  For those of you who have no idea what Arroz ala cubana is – its groud beef or pork cooked with raisins and some tomato sauce and spices.  I tried cooking one yesterday and I’ll post that later.

Most of the items on their menu range from 150 to 300 bucks.  For dessert, New York Cheesecake! Yummy! Just right.

Salad: Php 80 (not much)

Arroz ala Cubana : Php 150

New York Cheesecake : Php 100 plus (I forgot)

Conti’s first opened their doors in BF homes Paranaque, its sad that I lived for more than 20 years in BF Homes but was not able to try it out.  Ha ha ha.  But that’s ok.

I heard that their pasta is really good so I’m planning to try that out next.  Looking at their menu, I think its cheaper if you order the family size and just share.  For example, Angel Hair Puttanesca is 160 bucks a la carte, but if you order the family size good for 6-8 persons, its only around Php 340.  Amazing right?

Anyway, they have tons more of dishes that you can choose from.  You can order family size, take outs, frozen foods, baked goodes, and set menus.
