Doneness

I am a loyalist.

No matter how many new eating places there are ...

I will always gravitate towards my faves even at the price of missing out on something new.

Every so often I get stuck in my "loyal" mode ...

And I will not look at anyone else.

( ... I am the same with my wife - I will not look at anyone else

- that is ... if I ever feel "loyal" )

This week - it was back to an old fave - Duo Restaurant at Serendra.

I feel good there.

I feel important - the staff is friendly and attentive.

They remember your name - remember your drink.

They make an effort ...

And at the end of a hard day with the "boss from hell" ,

A quiet dinner with delicious food and a full-bodied wine

in a feel-good place , is for me - the way to go.

Duo - evolved its name from a concept of "a combination of excellent food and impeccable service".

The centerpiece of its menu offering is its Duo Steak Specials ...

A list of "duos" :

Steak and Foie Gras 750pesos

Steak and Escargot 750pesos @120gm

Surf and Turf 620pesos

Fish and Steak 495pesos

Steak and Calamares 550pesos

Yummmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Then it has a full range of steak selections including the highly sought after "wagyus".

Tell them how you want it cooked ... and it'll arrive correctly done - a rarity in Manila restos where the doneness is either under or over done to my unending consternation.

So if you see a guy having a correctly done steak and foie gras with a bottle of wine being poured by continuously hovering friendly servers ... it's me.

Come join me.

I am always equally hungry for new friends
