One special evening, my partner and I craved for Matti's Meat & Bread located at Alabang. We tried to search if they have a branch nearby BGC and the Booky app pointed us to Venice Grand Canal Mall, Mckinley Hill. It was perfect timing also because we wanted to see the much-hyped man-made Grand Canal.
When we reached the mall, we got so disappointed because we found out that Matti's Meat & Bread Mckinley branch hasn't opened yet. We didn't dwell too much on our disappointment and immediately looked for an alternative. We decided to try Rice & Dough and here's what I can say... it was a good choice. :)
Rice & Dough Restaurant
The Rice & Dough restaurant has a modern design with floor to ceiling glass windows which make it possible for customers to enjoy the view of Ponte d'Amore (bridge of love) while dining in. It has white walls, black chairs, wooden tables and geometric-patterned floor tiles.

Food
I know that this restaurant is a pizza and sushi place, but yet we ordered steaks. Hopefully, we could go back to try their pizza and sushi. Anyway, we ordered the following:
- Stone-cooked U.S. Angus Beef Tenderloin wrapped with bacon, served with gravy - I like the presentation very much! It made it look more tempting than the Steam Angus Beef Belly. You can't tell unless you taste both. :)
- Steamed Angus Beef Belly with Sesame Ponzu Sauce - Surprisingly, I like this better than the Stone-cooked U.S. Angus Beef Tenderloin. I usually go for something more flavorful, but the balanced taste of the Steamed Angus Beef Belly made it amazing. Add the condiments served for a different twist.
