CAFE SANSO - SAN JUAN

THE YAPPY BUNCH met up recently with our BAWAL PANGET family to celebrate my 44th....este... 34th birthday, and our venue for tonight was this curious little restaurant I often pass by in San Juan.

CAFE SANSO!!!!

I've always wanted to try out CAFE SANSO because the restaurant seemed so stylish and artsy-fartsy.

It also had a museum at the side featuring various paintings. Unfortunately, it closed at 5:00pm. I'm sure the kiddies would have LOOOOVED to see it.

ROLL CALL OF THE EARLY BIRDS!!!!

THE POGI CEO FAMILY (he he he he he) -- Albert and Suet!

Reservations were at 8:00pm and the Yub and I set out for CAFE SANSO early to arrive at 7:30pm so that we'd be ahead these. When we got there, hay sus, they're there na din!!!

GRRRRRRRRRRRRR!

Mareng Gail and Jun were thinking of the same thing when they arrived a little later than us.

Someday we'll arrive ahead of you Albert and Suet. You'll see. YOU'LL ALL SEE!!!!!

Team Virrey!

The "lastest" to arrive was Team Quitoriano but it's okay. They actually came pa from Tanay Rizal to check their business and it was traffic. I'm just grateful that they came at all!!!!

SYEMPRE LOVABLE AKO EH!!! HA HA HA HA HA HA!

We can't fit on the long table so the "kiddies" sat on the table next to us. Mati said he was fine staying there before the others arrived.

As for the bunsoy Andrei syempre he played na with his girlfriend Sasha. Ha ha ha ha ha!

Ayan.... kids table complete na. He he he he!

We were served with complimentary bread that came with this thick dip that tasted like balsamic vinegar.

Our food is here na so LET'S EAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

As soon as he saw it on the menu, my Master Mati got the CAFE SANSO Calamares (P315.00).

This was mighty yum: crunchy and flavorful especially with that refreshing spritz of lemon. He ate this with so much gusto with rice.

I saw in many recommendations how we should try the CAFE SANSO Salpicao (P435.00).

The Yub was so happy with this that even if it's just an appetizer, he got this as his main dish with the crusty bready. The meat was tender and jampacked with garlic and butter flavors. Sarap!

As for me I was craving for some pasta and made the mistake of ordering the Vongole (P295.00)!

Didn't like how "instant" this tasted. Too bad! I think this was the first time that I didn't finish my pasta.

I also got an extra plate of side salad so this got me extra full.

The baby bunsoy got his usual CAFE SANSO Carbonara (36 5.00) and he loved it!

He was a picky eater but was able to finish this bowl of noodles. Yay Andrei!

For the next dishes I'm not sure who ordered here but will still share it with you.

CAFE SANSO Serrano Pizza (P825.00)!

Jamon serrano with iberico ham, bleu cheese, and artichoke hearts. Such an opulent pizza!!! Obviously we didn't order this -- the POGI CEO did, and he let us get some. Yayyyy!
