Monique, fresh from an enjoyable visit to Enchanted Kingdom, had to get her school enrollment going today. But before we set out to brave the heat and the long lines, we took a detour and wound up along Abad Santos road near Wilson St. in San Juan. Ristras, a Mexican eatery, looked inviting, and we started off with a burrito each--she had pork carnitas, while I had spicy beef. Quite large, by any standard, their burritos--I understand that each roughly weighs 800 grams! They even have a "Wall of Fame" in which the fastest eaters of their 2.5 kilo behemoth get their lap times set on the blackboard--the champion having downed the biggie in just 29 minutes! Talk about sarap! Next time I think I will try their "Wet" burritos in which the plain burrito gets buried in cheese sauce and kitchen-torched to get a crispy topping!
Being a coffee lover, Monique opted to have a Dark Choco Java at the Bread & Bean Coffee Shop just next door, while I munched on a 6" choco-chip cookie! Talk about gaining weight! Spent something like P400 each for lunch today--super busog at that!
