T-Bone steak for less than P150?! THANK YOU, EATIGO!

I know where you can get a huge, juicy slab of T-Bone Steak for less than P150! 😉

Thank God and the heavens for the app that is EATIGO. This is not a sponsored post, but we had such a GREAT experience with it, I can't not share it with you guys! 💛

Eatigo is a table reservation app with discounts that correspond to the time slot you book. When you book at off-peak hours, you can get as much as 50% off your bill - no catch, no minimum purchase unlike other apps... Booky *coughs*. Oh, this app is FREE, too. Minimum number of pax per reservation is 2 people.

I've been to Artsy Cafe a couple of times before - both in their Maginhawa and Panay branch. The place is really nice and the food is good yet affordable. (See, affordable na nga to begin with, may pa-50% off pa sila!!!) M booked for us a table at the 3PM time slot so we could avail the discount. When we arrived, we just mentioned to the staff that we reserved via Eatigo, and were seated immediately.

We ordered the following:

Sizzling Gambas (P225 -> P112.50)

Lasagna (P195 -> P97.50)

T-Bone Steak (P290 -> P145)

Our favorite appetizer is the Sizzling Gambas - you can smell the buttery corn goodness once the dish is placed on your table. They don't skimp on shrimp, too. The Lasagna was delightful and super cheesy! I liked this better than the pesto dish I had on my last visit. The T-Bone steak we had medium rare. It was thick and juicy. If you come into Artsy Cafe starving, THIS meaty goodness will certainly hit the spot.

We're used to dining here with no discount and we're already satisfied with the food and its value (as seen in my IG), but this is crazy. Look at the price cut for each dish we ordered last weekend!

BILL SHOCK! Only P365 for everything!!! 😮

(Artsy Cafe doesn't have service charge.)

Here's their updated menu for 2018:

Not only did we get 50% off our bill, M and I both earned 100 points because I referred him to download the app. Lucky him because no one ever referred me so I started out with 0 points. 😛 I just downloaded the app because their ads kept popping on my FB and IG feed.

100 points = P150 e-GC

 

 

As of today, here are the rewards you can get if you download the app via referral:

• 100 points = P150 e-GC at Krispy Kreme, Coffee Bean, Family Mart, and Auntie Anne's
• 150 points = P300 e-GC at Pancake House, Royce', and Ramen Nagi

Get P150 rewards for your 1st attended reservation with Eatigo when you download the app from my link http://refer.eatigo.com/helenblas-1vc/5 or sign up with my referral code 'helenblas' 👍 Make sure to download the app/register immediately once you open the link.

I still can't get over the fact that our heavily discounted meal gave birth to a free coffee date at our favorite coffee shop! LOL Thank you, Eatigo, for being awesome to kuripot titas like me. 😂 M is ultimately delighted, may katuwang at bagong best friend na siya when we go on food trips. HAHA

What are you waiting for?! Download Eatigo, STAT! No regrets, just love. Haha 💖

Love,

Helen

Artsy Cafe, Panay Avenue

First blog post of 2017! I had an unexpected hiatus by mid-December because a lot of things happened. If you're following my IG, you'd know... I lost my grandma 3 days before Christmas, and I can't write when I'm sad. I'm getting better now, so I'll be putting my energy to this blog more starting today.

My dad and my sisters love eating out, and last month we kept on seeing photos of Artsy Cafe (Panay branch!) in our Facebook news feeds. I've been to Artsy Cafe in Maginhawa Street a lot of times, but I never knew they had a branch so near Fisher Mall! 😮 So near our place! Of course, we had to go. Beside this cafe were Komedor and Mandarin Sky Wok (much to my Dad's delight).

Back story: This meal was the fruit of our garage sale one Sunday morning. Reward kasi napagod kami! My sisters and I held garage sales for 3 weekends last month. (Ang sarap mag declutter.)

Cream of Mushroom Soup (P100)

This was my Dad's order. The soup was a bit watery, I could do a better version at home. (Chos!)

Sizzling Gambas (P195)

This one was my order - with extra rice. Carbs on carbs lang! 😂 Shinare ko naman ito with them since this is supposed to be an appetizer, ginawa kong ulam. (Am I the only one who does this?) This one's really good, and the sauce had hints of curry in it. I won't be ordering this regularly though, because it's still oily. Hehe.

Chicken Longganisa (P150)

Unexpectedly good! I don't usually go for longganisa meals, but this one I will order next time. The meat was tender and tasty. Sulit!

Cajun Prawns (P255)

I envied my sister the moment her order arrived. It's glorious prawns wrapped in bacon and covered with white sauce. Ugh. The last time I had this in Maginhawa, it looked kinda sad...

Like this! (I still have a photo on my file, and now I can finally delete it.)

But on my next visit, I'm also thinking of ordering Cajun Prawns, too! Medyo bitin if you're matakaw, but worth it naman.

Chicken BBQ (P175)

This plate of Chicken BBQ, you can skip because there's nothing special with it. I don't like Aristocrat's service (for all branches), but I have to admit that their Chicken Barbecue is better. (I'm still not going back though.)

Mint Calamansi (P70)

We almost always order this refreshing citrus drink on our every visit. It's pricey for a calamansi juice, but it goes well with the food. 😋

MENU:

Artsy Cafe
Address: 23 Panay Avenue, Paligsahan, Quezon City
Phone: (02)2469069 ext:525
Opening hours: 11AM to 10PM
Facebook: Artsy Cafe

Parking is scarce during peak hours, so better come earlier. I have yet to explore more of their menu. We weren't able to order desserts because we were so full, but I remember liking their Cheesecake Crumble, which I have tried before in their Maginhawa branch. Can't wait to go back! 💙

Have you been to Artsy Cafe? 😊

Love,

Helen
