Mom Violy and Carmina’s dining experience at Dean & DeLuca

  Mom Violy told me she wanted to order the Paella Negra from Dean & Deluca. Carmina suggested we dine in since we’d never really tried their main courses, always just getting takeout with the cream puffs . Mom Violy agreed, and we arrived about thirty minutes before the lunch rush began. The service was very slow, even though we had ordered ahead of time. They mistakenly brought out the Paella Valenciana , despite Mom Violy repeating the order three times to the person who took it. It turned out the cook on duty made the error, even though it was written down clearly. We know Paella Negra takes a long time to prepare, which is why Mom Violy had requested it to be cooked beforehand. She wanted it as her main meal, but because of the mix-up and feeling hungry, she took a piece of Carmina’s Turkey Club Sandwich and asked for the bacon on the side.

Salad Stop!


I have been eating salad and I wish they had a Sweet Tomato Branch like in California where you can eat a salad, but have other main dish meals along with your food.

There is no place like here in the Philippines that are so healthy like back home.

The most places you will find in the Philippines are buffet restaurant from the healthy and unhealthy or salad places that just serve just a salad bar.

Nothing compares to what you have in California just base on where you now live.

I have found a place called, Salad stop is a place you can create your own salad and decide what you want to put on your own meal the healthy way. You can choose either a salad bowl or on a tortilla of your choice.

Anything is possible in salad stop.

Or you can choose from their menu suggested salad if you don't feel like creating your own salad.


You can choose to visit their branch or have it delivered at your home by using Grab Food Express on your phone by downloading the application.

I decided to just order online through my phone while traffic and gasoline to pay it is so easy if you just by using Grab Food Express the best part they let you know there status and who will deliver the food at your home.

I had ordered their Signature Salad Go Geisha that has the following ingredients:
  • Romaine Lettuce
  • Red & White Cabbage
  • Tofu
  • Soba Noodles
  • Asparagus
  • Carrots
  • Snow Peas
  • Edamame
  • Cucumber 
  • Sweet Corn
  • Sesame Seed

You can message the person as there will be an automated message coming to your screen on your phone.

Honestly, their serving is big and you can eat it more than once. I was able to share it with Manang V who also likes eating salad like me.

I had added ripe avocado to my salad and you can add something to it as well.
