Legaspi has
transformed into another foodie destination. With quaint coffee shops and
charming restaurants, this is one area I just have to visit. A few weeks back
was my first trip in this area and I visited Yardstick and Local Edition. My
favorite Dragon lady and I also planned visiting Your Local as it has been
getting great reviews. It took longer than we planned but we finally got to pay
the place a visit last week.
Hello, Your
Local!
Since the
place is usually packed, reservation is important. I made a reservation for two
at 6 p.m. on (an apparently rainy) Saturday. Placing a reservation was smooth
as after 3 minutes or so, I’m done. However, I got a call two days later
telling me that my reservation is good until 7:30 p.m. only if I wanted a table
(as they accidentally gave me bar seats). WHAT THE HECK? That made me upset as I
don’t want to be constantly checking my watch while enjoying my dinner. But the
woman assisting me was able to arrange things for me after I expressed my
annoyance with the situation. [Case closed.]
The place
was quite dark. I guess it sets that chill ambiance the young crowd wants.
We
immediately ordered our food as we were both hungry. We settled for the Carrot
Cake (PHP280) as appetizer, Torched Salmon Donburi (PHP390) and Chorizo
Sandwich (PHP490) for main course. We also got Strawberry Lemonade (PHP190) and
Sea Salt Lemonade (PHP160) for drinks.
