I hope that 2012 brings new hope, joy and happiness in your lives!
I'll begin the year with a post on a good, old favorite, Lolo Dad's Cafe in Malate.

| The original open kitchen concept |
Furthermore, the place is tucked into a discreet garden and it is never too full so that you get the privacy and service you deserve.
Check out this homemade butter, served with your choice of fresh, homemade bread. I swear, I could devour this whole thing.
Their oysters are beyond delicious. They usually serve the fresh ones by the piece with a special lemon granita - which I love - but this time they served it with a salsa. I had oysters at a 5-star hotel and they weren't as fat nor as tasty as these. How can that be?
Here's their salad of lobster and prawn, big enough to share. The seafood was cooked to perfection, as always. Tasty portobello and feta add to the flavor.
The sorbet in a smoking brown teapot is another signature style of Lolo Dad's. Always makes for a good picture, good enough to blog haha.
Lolo Dad's was also one of the pioneers in giving you many choices of the same ingredient on one plate (think: foir gras terrine, pan-seared and the like). This main course of Black Angus beef tenderloin is served with beef cheeks topped with a slab of foie gras and offered with a side salad and a very pretty garnish.
The wine list here is limited but well-suited to the dishes. When it comes to going to a resto for a special occasion, Lolo Dad's comes to front of mind always.
Happy 2012! May all your champagne wishes and caviar dreams come true!
