Hi folks! This post will highlight a special occasion for my mom which is Mother's Day. I really wanted to make it special for her so I decided to take her out to Contis Rob Magnolia.

| I love the presentation of those plates. And the lighting as well. |
On our way to the restaurant, I forgot I still have to withdraw money so I told my mom and my sister to go ahead. On my way to the ATM, I spotted edible roses being sold at the foodcourt so I bought three to surprise my mom. True enough she was elated. She immediately wanted to pose with her candied flowers and post it on Facebook for everybody to see. Moving on, we were handed out the menu. We moved to a more comfortable seat by the window.
For starters, we ordered two bowls of Chicken Potato Salad because I can never get enough of it. My sister ordered Roast Beef with Garlic rice and Green Mango shake. Mom ordered their Maple glazed ribs with Garlic rice as well. I was supposed to order their USDA Steak but they only have one cut available and it is way too hefty for me so I settled with their Roasted beef belly with mashed potatoes and buttered veggies. What surprised me first was the huge portion of each dish. I enjoyed it tremendously and was really satisfied with what I got. The sauce topped on my beef belly tasted a bit like wasabi-mayo. Just the right spice to whet my palate. My mom's dish is also a revelation. The ribs were sweet and very tender and this also applies to my sister's Roast beef. As for our drinks, me and my mom preferred bottomless iced tea for our drink. Of course, this special meal wouldn't be complete without dessert :) We ordered three different cakes so we can all taste and compare them. We had Mango tart, Peach Walnut Torte and the all time favorite Mango Bravo. All of them are delicious on their own but I just had to say that they become even more delicious combined. I combined the Mango tart's crust with the Peach Walnut Torte's filling and it was heavenly. I saved the walnut for last of course! We really had a great time and meal here at Contis.

All in all, I only spent 1,900php. Not bad for a 3 main course dish with dessert and a drink of our choice. So if you're planning to go out and spend quality time with your loved ones without shedding too much money, Contis is wise choice. And mind you, the place gets full even before dinner so I suggest you phone them early for a reservation or come in earlier to get the best seat.
The verdict:
Place- 4/5 I like their wall decorations and the music.
Food- 4/5 Super satisfied with the food. Although I would've wanted to try their USDA Steak that time.
Service- 4/5 They have friendly waiters and they assisted us well enough. It just took a couple of calls before they finally noticed us and our take out took longer than expected, but hey, they still did a great job serving us
