This is our second Christmas spent together and it's getting better and better every year.
The thing I love the most about Rommel is how he serenades me with unending goodness -- good food, good pictures and good memories! Last Monday, we called Aubergine to reserve dinner seats for two for Dec.25 and were lucky to get the last two seats available for that night.
He knows I love steaks and so for each and every special occasion that we Celebrate together (Anniversaries, Birthdays and Holidays), he feeds me with steak and Christmas 2009 was no exception.
So far, I've had steak at the country's finest restaurants like Antonio's in Tagaytay, Elbert's Steak House, Gulliver's of San Fransisco.... you name it, I've tried it so I was very excited to try Aubergine out because I've been hearing many good things about this restaurant.
For our appetizers on the house, they served Portabello mushrooms, and Feta cheese.
We also ordered the Chef's specialty appetizer for the night.
It was a good start. Perfect to tingle the taste buds.

The dish was very well prepared. Medium rare as how he likes it.
The meat was so tender most specially the foie gras! I could not even count in my fingers the numbers of times he said this. We even noticed how perfect the cut was for each and every vegetable on the plate. "Mismo!" is the best way he could describe it.

My steak was the bomb! It was so delicious I was simply blown away!
The ambiance at Aubergine could be a lot of things... Fun and happy for families who dine there; Formal for those who spend their meetings there; and last but not least, Romantic for two people.. just like how it was for Rommel and me. The food was to die for, I was simply blown away!
The manager of Aubergine was nice enough to accompany me inside the kitchen were the chef were at work. It was being in another place!
Thank you all for the great food!
