Sbarro in Robinson's Place Manila

Sbarro is known for big size pizza. One sliced of their Chicago Deep Dish will surely make your tummy full. Moreover, You can really taste the Italian flavor with every pizza and pasta that you order. Sbarro is not all about pizza and pasta. They also have dessert like salad, cake and fruit delights. You can also enjoy their chicken meals which have a taste really different from what Filipinos know about chicken. They don't just have fried chicken but also sauced chicken.

Ok! Let's finish the introduction and move to the real deal. Today, I'm going to say something about the pizza and pasta i ordered yesterday at Sbarro. Bear with me guys, I'm not really a food critic. :)

Chicago Deep Dish is the largest part on the upper part

Let's start with the Chicago Deep Dish All Meat which will cost you 172 pesos per slice. For a regular guy like me, one slice is more than enough specially if you order pasta with it. Chicago Deep Dish All Meat is different from other pizza that I have tasted before. First, It's a stuff pizza, its way too thick compare with other pizza. It also comes with a meat sauce, this meat sauce is different from the tomato sauce which is use as the first coating of any pizza. The meat sauce is actually put before they reheat the pizza. On the top part of the pizza you can just see the cheese and the tomato sauce that was used and the of course the meat sauce. However, if you look inside the stuff part, you can see the ground beef and i think, some mushroom, ham and other meat which is not familiar to me but they really taste good. If you enjoy spicy pizza you can use their hot sauce and their dry pepper with is a very good match though you can't really taste the dry pepper. Last, I think, this is just my opinion, ok? :) Its the only pizza that I couldn't eat the crust, you know, the hard part of a pizza, maybe because before I can try to eat it, I'm already full or, it's just too hard for me to eat it. :) This pizza is 10/10

Chicago Deep Dish White is the only whtie pizza in the picture

Chicago Deep Dish White is almost similar to Chicago Deep Dish All Meat. It's also stuff and big. :) it also cost the same way as its brother, 172 pesos. However, you can easily guess the difference by its name. Chicag0 Deep Dish White use white sause instead of tomato sauce. Moreover, the stuff part of Chicago White is mainly ham, mushroom and it think some pineapple. Kinda like the Hawaiian style pizza. I don't know exactly because my baby ordered it yestereday and I just tried it. The weird thing about the Chicago white, is that when the cheese on the top of it already dried up, it doesn't look good to it. It's kinda like an egg or something though it still tastes good. Like the Chicago Deep Dish All Meat, it also has a hard crust which I think it is not really conducive for eating. :) But you can try eating it. My rating for this pizza is 8/10

You can see in this picture the left over spaghetti, the fruit salad, and the two drinks. The empty plate was the Chicago Deep Dish All Meat. You can also see the Chicago Deep Dish that my baby ordered. He's not yet done eating it :)

I also tried the Spaghetti with Meat Sauce which will cost you 87 pesos for half serving. I tell you half serving is more than enough if you are going to ordered a slice of pizza. :) It really taste Italian. Kinda a little sour and salty. Maybe some Filipinos won't like it because they prefer sweet spaghetti like those in Jollibee. However, for me, it's taste good but not better than the Oven Baked Spaghetti of Don Henricos. :) I don't know but, its pasta is kinda feels like a little uncooked. It's kinda hard but maybe that's the way it supposed to be. Jollibee and McDonald's Spaghetti is much softer which have really good feel when you eat it. Another comment about the spaghetti is that its kinda like with soup. it has a watery part which might be caused by the pasta itself when they get it from the tray. It's still tolerable. I will give 9 out of 10 with the sauce. It really has meat not just tomato sauce unlike some other fast food spaghetti. :)

Lastly, we ate fruit salad as our dessert. The fruit salad mainly contains of slices of watermelon, oranges, mango and some pieces of grapes. Unlike what I know about fruit salad, it doesn't have any mayonnaise. However, that one might be the real fruit salad. :) Actually, when my mom makes fruit salad, it has buko and mayonnaise. :) Maybe this is Filipino style. :)

Inside Sbarro Robinson's Place

All in all, Sbarro's Italian Food really taste good. You will never leave the place without a full tummy. :) I also think that the prize is just right. 500 pesos for a dinner for two is really cheap for a true Italian food. You'll surely be satisfied with it, if you like Italian style pizza and pasta. :)

RNST is located in Calamba, Laguna in the Philippines. It is quite far from the main road but farther from the main road means having more quiet time. :) It's a private pool and it might cost you 6000 pesos to 8000 pesos when it is not peak season and 9000 pesos to 15ooo pesos during the summer season. I have been here twice, last February (My supervisor's birthday) and last July 18-19 (My student's farewel party). Outside the resort, you can buy some basic necessities when you went for a vacation like ice, charcoal, etc. However, I suggest that you bring everything that you need for your vacation like raw food, utensils and everything.

Living Area

The resort contain one pool and its deepness ranges from 3feet to 6feet. There is no kid's pool, so very young kids might not enjoy here. There are two bedrooms. One bedroom contains a toilet room, 2 king size double deck and it is airconditioned. It also has one cabinet for your clothes and a coffee table and 2 chairs. The other room isn't airconditioned but it has more beds, as far as I can remember, it has 4 normal double deck and 2 wall fans. The resort also has a living area besides the pool, which you can chill after swimming for quite sometime.

The resort also provide you its kitchen, cooking utensils, if you don't have one, and a refrigirator. There are also 2 dining areas. One is close to the kitchen and the other other dining area is also for singing because it has a karaoke machine. You can also enjoy billiard with your friends, however, some part of the table is kinda already ruined. The resort also has 4 shower rooms. 2 shower rooms also provide you with toilets. However, sometimes, water tends to become to hot to be used for shower and cleaning your ass. :) However, the other two which don't have any toilet has a colder water.

Downside of the resort, I didn't see them changing the water of the pool after we left and before we used it. Maybe, they did it before but I was not sure. Unlike the other resort, you can actually see how they change the water after one group used it.

"I Gotta Feeling" by Black Eyed Peas from the album THE E.N.D. (Energy Never Dies) is the top song in Billboard Hot 100, I-tune Top 100 Downloaded Songs and Amazon Top Downloaded Songs. When I first heard this song, I kinda like it, the melody was good and there is a fun tune to it. Like other Black Eyed Peas' songs, you can also dance to it. However, unlike Boom Boom Pow which was the top song before "I Gotta Feeling" it has a slower beat. If you are into dancing, I think you will Boom Boom Pow over I Gotta Feeling. Moreover, the lyrics were repeating. Actually the first line of the song was already repeating. :) I'm not really a singer nor a writer but I know good songs when I heard one.


Here is the lyrics of the song by Lyricsmine.com

I gotta feeling that tonight's gonna be a good night
that tonight's gonna be a good night
that tonight's gonna be a good good night (x4)

Tonight's the night night
Let's live it up
I got my money
Let's spend it up

Go out and smash it
Like Oh My God
Jump off that sofa
Let's get get OFF

I know that we'll have a ball
If we get down
And go out
And just loose it all

I feel stressed out
I wanna let it go
Lets go way out spaced out
and loosing all control

Fill up my cup
Mozoltov
Look at her dancing
Just take it off

Let's paint the town
We'll shut it down
Let's burn the roof
And then we'll do it again

Let's Do it (x13)
And live it up

I gotta feeling that tonight's gonna be a good night
That tonight's gonna be a good night
That tonight's gonna be a good good night (x2)

Tonight's the night
Let's live it up
I got my money
Let's spend it up

Go out and smash it
Like Oh My God
Jump off that sofa
Let's get get OFF

Fill up my cup (Drink)
Mozoltov (La' Chaim)
Look at her dancing (Move it Move it)
Just take it off

Let's paint the town
We'll shut it down
Let's burn the roof
and then we'll do it again

Lets do it (x15)
Let's live it up

Here we come
Here we go
We gotta rock

Easy come
Easy go
Now we on top

Feel the shot
Body rock
Rock it don't stop

Round and round
Up and down
Around the clock

Monday, Tuesday,
Wednesday, and Thursday
Friday, Saturday
Saturday to Sunday

Get get get get get with us
You know what we say
Party every day
Pa pa pa Party every day

And I'm feelin
That tonight's gonna be a good night
That tonight's gonna be a good night
That tonight's gonna be a good good night

I gotta feeling tonight's gonna be a good night
That tonight's gonna be a good night
That tonight's gonna be a good good night

Here a video from Youtube.com though this video only shows the album art. You can hear from this video the lyrics of the song



In terms of melody, I Gotta Feeling deserved the top spot, However, lyrics could have been better. I would rate it 8 out of 10
