I was running late to a photo shoot and I thought my Google map was acting up, in my mind I picture Stacy's, our venue, as an upscale restaurant not a cafe. But oh boy, I did not know I was in a pleasant and a yummy surprise.
Like 50's Dinner the whole theme of the cafe was like 50's sickly sweet old fashioned pastel land. Unlike 50's Dinner it has a cozy, homey, relaxed and good vibe feel to it- may be all those brightly colored Cath Kidston apron sucks all the bitterness of those dining in.
*** FIRST VISIT***
Staff were warm and smiling- good for the business.
To begin your meal with good vibe our server gave us a mug full of plain salted popcorn, 2-4 marsh mallows and a pink strawberry pretzel. It was past our lunch time so that so called wait time munches was consumed in seconds.
Serving was a bit slow but they would gladly refill your mug of joy.
Real Deal Nachos
I Love this!
It's like nachos for those weight watchers but it tasted so good definitely you wont mind the small amount of El paso ground beef here. Duh best!
Stacy's Spaghetti and Meat Balls
My meal was OK not OMG IT IS SOOOOO GOOD but not $#*% BAD. It was just OK. It did not taste cheap, the serving size was hefty enough to make an extra medium girl like me full. Yes you read it right- EXTRA MEDIUM- borderline "feeling payat pa" to FAT na.
The meat balls was like home made with extra love.
Back when I was air thin this is considered a whole meal already. Liked the bread so much.
Stacy Jones
I have to rate ex BF's meal OK again, just because I am loyal to my tita's tapa and I have not yet tasted more sumptuous than her home made tapa.
Tapa- way too salty and hard
Rice- like home made garlic rice, comfort food to the finest
Scrambled eggs- like what my Mom wants her egg; less salt, under cooked and fluffed.
Not a fan of fried garlic garnish, scrambled eggs and heart shaped garlic rice was just way too cheesy for me. You know Stacy walang forever ok.
***SECOND VISIT***
Saw a post in FB says 90% of relationships is deciding where to eat.
That mostly true especially when you are picky as hell. So after arguing where to eat in BGC my ex Bf and I decided to dine to our comfort zone- Stacy's.
Spicy Lemon Shrimp Scampi with Angel Hair.
I so love how spicy blended well to that lemony seafood taste plus the oily, garlic-y, herb-ed pasta just made it perfect.
This is a feel good pasta right here.
I am so digging that they de-vein the shrimps ie- no allergy shit. Yey!
Texas Barbecue Ribs
My ex BF rave the ribs he said it was good. He love the sauce, he said that the carrots and corn was canned- how he knew that is still a mystery. I love that it was tender like fall of the bone tender and the BBQ sauce was good.
It was good that is all I can say :)
***THIRD VISIT***
Do you ever come to a point that you ask yourself what you did right to deserve a close to perfect relationship, you become BF with your long time friend and it is just adorable, convenient and close to perfect. Then bad things happened and all your dreams together became blurry and everything you planned together one by one falls apart and all you can do is see your "close to prefect relationship" shatter and break.
This was our first meal together as ex bf and ex gf.
Dear John Sardine Pasta
It was like the Spicy Lemon Shrimp Scampi with Angel Hair but with more saltier seafood- the sardine and spaghetti instead of angle hair.
I am so into oily garlic-y Pasta. This is just love.
Buffalo Wings Flings
Their take on a great New York Classic given an Asian flair. 4 pcs. of crispy fried drumettes and side chicken wings indulgently blended in very own honey-orange and sweet chili sauce. Served with a steaming cup of parsley rice and a side of greens with Caesar dressing.

I fought hard to not even look at him in the eyes.
So I did not taste his buffalo wings.
Sad ending. Yes maybe for now.
