A year ago, a High School friend of mine opened her new restaurant, which was named after her late grand mother. Faustina's is just located near one of UPLB's exit called Raymundo gate. It's quite a small restaurant with a comfortable and "homey" feel. They serve great tasting dishes (soups, pastas, pizzas, cheesecakes,etc), w
hich prices are pocket-friendly. My favorites include: Silindro Meal , Hungarian Sausage and Onion Pizza , and Green Salad.Silindro is a grilled marinated pork, which is "liempo-like"; only it's really much juicier! The side dish, which is usually the buttered corn, carrots and green peas are cooked just right . And... not to mention the sauce which could serve as a viand in itself (hehe.. Very pinoy.. :) ) is soooo mouthwatering as it "dulcifies" the meat!
Hungarian Sausage and Onion Pizza is way better than what you can have in Pizza Hut or even Shakeys. The salty and creamy taste of the cheese is very complementary to that of the onions, which is sweet and quite spicy at the same time, plus the sausage is really chunky and flavorful. This thin-crust pizza is surely the type you would be ordering again the next time you come back.
Green Salad has been part of my intake since I was diagnosed as Pre-diabetic. I came to love Faustina's green salad because of it's freshness and the delectable dressing. I highly recommend it for those who are on a diet. You'd surely not feel guilty after eating an order of it and you'd surely feel satisfied with its taste. Faustina's truly deserves to be on my list!

It's surely fun to visit new restaurants and cafes and experience a new thrill of sinking your teeth into sumptuous delights and letting your taste buds linger on every flavor of the food. I can't wait to share with you another Gastronomical Adventure and hopefully be able to add another one on my list! :)
