A Savoring of Australian Grass-fed Beef Specials At Acacia Hotel's A Steakhouse

Among the many firsts in my life - first kiss, first truffle experience, first airplane ride, first zip-line adventure etc., one that I truly treasure the most is my first step into such hotels.  I'm such "mababaw" like that, but who wouldn't, each hotel evokes uniqueness in every details.  Adding to my long list of hotel dining experiences is the one I had yesterday at Acacia Hotel in Filinvest Alabang.

I'm also trying to recall any past feat in a hotel where it involved gormandizing in the lobby.  Maybe there would be an occasion or two, but I could hardly picture them anymore.  I guess it would be safe to say then that the lunch I had at Acacia can be categorized under this.  A Steakhouse, Acacia's premier resto serving it's namesake -steaks alongside The Lobby is conveniently settled at no where else, the lobby.  Haha... On the second floor is Acaci, where buffet is served. 

Potts Point Cafe, Haute Healthy Restaurant

There are restaurant lunches ruined by the restaurant themselves, and there are restaurant lunches ruined by the diners, and then there are restaurant lunches when everyone contributes to the disaster.  I feared that planning a lunch for a very finicky and health-conscious relative would end into one of the latter.  My tita who would be coming back home soon from another country have asked me to take her to a good restaurant in a mall with a lot of restrictions.  First the mall should not be crowded, also, the restaurant has to serve above all good quality dishes that are not Filipino in taste, finally, the restaurant has to be organic.

Poor food-blogger me.  Sometimes friends and relatives think of you as the maven when it comes to dining out.  Can you imagine the pressure?  Nonetheless, I'm enjoying the limelight.

What's so good about being a foodie is meeting a fellow foodie who happens to know the ins and outs of the dining scene, being adept as well in his skills in food photography and marketing.  I'm talking about Ace Azarraga, whom I'm so thankful of for giving me a chance to have a glimpse of a fairly new restaurant in Eastwood mall.

Potts Point Cafe happens to be in a mall that is not crowded and is a restaurant serving organic food.  Now that definitely answers my woes.  However, would it qualify for my tita's standard as healthy, better tasting organic food.  Good thing I was able to sample some of their offerings.
