Ā
Chibog ā itās a slang Filipino word that could either mean food or eating. Looking through it today, I thought that maybe it originated from the Italian word for food, cibo. And it may not be impossible since Italian cuisine is always close to the heart of Filipinosā¦I for one ā its simplicity is what I love most.
ĀBig Servings
Thursday lunch, I found myself at DāLounge in Donauzentrum with a visiting friend waiting at one of their cozy corner tables. Iāve always loved the ambiance in this particular branch. Itās warm and inviting and very homey too. I had been staying away from rice but seeing Pollo Hawaii on the menu made me forget how I have endured a month without it. I was delighted with the combination of bacon, chicken and pineapple. I went on mouthful one after the other ā basmati rice, chicken, bacon, pineapple, bacon, rice, chicken, pineappleā¦well, not in that particular order. ^_^
DāLounge has always been generous with their servings. I wasnāt surprised that my dayās companion would find it too much. He had spinach-filled Cannelloni baked to perfection, I was embarrassed at how my home version pale Ā in comparison.
Perhaps every bit of my attempt at Italian cuisine will be crushed in each and every dish at this wonderful restaurant. Itās alright though, Iād rather have my pasta or pollo eaten in satisfaction at a quiet corner here than fuss our kitchen restless.
Buon Cibo, good chibog!
Kidsā Favourite
Dā Lounge is also a favourite among my kids. I sometimes take them in turns here, specially if one gets off from school earlier than the others.Ā Being an italian restaurant, their go-tos are pizza and lasagna, son 1 actually can eat lasagna 24/7! For pizza, their choices would be salami and hawaiiā¦yes, Iāve introduced them to pineapple on pizza. ^_^
Buon Cibo at Dā Lounge always gets a thumbs up from my little boy!
