Lunch at Franco’s

If you have been tired of roaming around to search for something new to eat, then it’s time to revert to your comfort zone, at least once in a while.

Dining at Franco’s is like engaging in comfort food in a casual encounter. The dishes, which are a mix of Spanish and Filipino influences, are something you’d typically find in your kitchen, albeit dressed up in an exciting fashion. Thus, it’s easier to get accustomed to even at first lunch.

Bourgogne Beef Stew

Angus Beef Sisig

Our first main course consisted of a sampling of angus beef sisig, tinapa cream cheese cigars (lumpia with tinapa and cream cheese fillings over a bed of lettuce), Bourgogne beef stew and garlic rice.

The ambience is also quite cozy and homey with seats in bright orange and yellow hues. It is almost like a refuge long after you’ve passed through strips of dining choices within Power Plant Mall in Rockwell, Makati City. The homey vibe of this place is matched with very good service of courteous staff. I could stay here for longer, and sample its long list of desserts, had it not been for my busy weekend.

Oh well, that’s what next time is for. Will certainly return.

    The Side Tripper

    “Make sure you don’t take any side trips,” warns Schumler, from a phrase in the 1993 American film Swing Kids. If you are someone who does not have time to lose, then it is better for you to stick to your main agenda, because there is something about side tripping that submerges the soul in experiences that sometimes make you hope that time would stand still, as the experiences they bring can be more impactful than the main trip itself. It is that free flowing agenda, an unexpected sleepover or a detour that has unintentionally brought pleasant surprises. You can live without it, like you can eat a cake without its icing, but your journey may not be as meaningful. If travel is the ‘best medicine for the heart’,* then for me, side trips are secret ingredients to the most memorable travels and other events that can happen in between or off the main route of one’s itineraries. Welcome to Side Tripper, a collection of photographs and blogs about the many side trip adventures of our family and friends. *Source: The Global Commission on Aging and Transamerica Center for Retirement Studies, in partnership with the U.S. Travel Association (Los Angeles Times, December 17, 2013 by Chris Erskine)
