I love giving (nice) surprises. Planning and thinking of what would make
my special someone happy already makes me smile. Seeing the person appreciate
it gives me a sense of fulfillment and I felt that when I surprised R with a
romantic dinner for two at Ninyo.
And since it was a success, I decided to do it again with Patio Vera (I got a
CashCash voucher worth PHP1,600 for a romantic dinner for 2), yet another
hidden gem according to Looloo.
Hello, Patio Vera.
The place is a bit hard to find since
it is located in a residential
area. The location itself is also a bit shady. But it’s another story when
you enter the house turned restaurant.
The garden
area and patio are the first dining areas you will see. We entered the
house and saw antique pieces and our romantic set up was near the cockatoo
glass cage.
The hyper cockatoo
kept us entertained while waiting for our food. The adorable bird
also distracted us while we were being bitten by mosquitoes. (Warning: apply
mosquito repellant if you do not want to be their feast.)
It was quite weird and the contrast
between the supposedly sweet banana and salty bacon did not happen as well as
it should have.
