Information

Moses had to have a heavenly hand chisel the 10 Commandments into stone and haul the two big tablets down a rocky mountain, only to hurl them at a crowd of people who were too busy partying to pay him any mind. He would have made a better argument and saved himself the workout if he had just memorized them instead.

The “Develop a Photographic Memory” course is perfect for students and professionals of all ages. For learners 10-years-old and above, the course will help them remember random facts in less time. Ask your kid the meaning of pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis, or the 20th decimal place of Pi, or the plot summary of Homer's Iliad, or even the complete filmography of actor Kevin Bacon! If you attended the same crash course, you should be able to remember all his responses just as well and pass on the useless trivia to your dinner party guests, sans the need for Google or Wikipedia!

Filipinos were told great stories about Japanese warriors known as the Samurai, how they rode into the countryside to vanquish dragon rolls from eating their supply of Tempura, which if not stopped, would destroy villages by unleashing torrents of burning wasabi.

Jap-ok aims to provide delicious Japanese food at a price that is within everyone's reach. Familiar Filipino fares have also been revamped and made-over with a Jap-ok twist.

    About Pito & Mita: 


    Pito & Mita opened its arms in BF Homes, ParaƱaque. Serving Mediterranean fare, the homey cafe is the latest addition to the continuously growing food hub in the south. Pito & Mita is actually short for Papito and Mamita, which the owners (and their children, nieces and nephews) fondly call their parents.


    Mediterranean-inspired dishes, classic favorites, vegetarian fare, and recipes from the family of owner and head, chef Pia Kasilag, fill the menu. One of the restaurant specials called Sopa de Pamplina is actually their family Christmas soup, a hearty melange of corn, carrots, ham, chorizo de bilbao, and garbanzos - a meal in itself, perfect for cold and rainy days.


    The must-trys: The Sicilian Chicken Salad with red grapes, nuts, fresh Parmesan cheese, chicken breast cubes, and tomatoes in lemon-dijon dressing; Steak Salpicao, tender rib-eye cubes lightly seasoned and pan-fried and served with garlic rice. Topping the list of favorites is the Parmesan-Crusted Baked Fish, baked white fish fillet topped with a creamy and crunchy Parmesan crust and served with your choice of Potato Gratin or mashed potatoes with vegetables. Don't forget to order their Refillable Lemon-Moringa Juice - sweet, lemon-flavored Malunggay juice--that is both healthy and tasty.


    From the outside, Pito & Mita could be mistaken as one of the residences that dot the busy Aguirre Avenue - not surprising since the owners package the restaurant as a family-friendly dining spot. According to co-owner Paolo de la Fuente, "We'd really like to veer away from the bar scene along Aguirre, and prefer to offer a real dining experience." The interiors are Mediterranean-inspired, with fixtures designed and conceptualized by Paching de la Fuente, niece of National Artist for Fashion Design Ramon Valera.


    For the months of February through April, Pito & Mita gives an opportunity for Ensogo customers to use 50%-off vouchers worth P400 to pay for any food item or non-alcoholic beverage on the menu. Enjoy any of Pito & Mita's delicious dishes - from their best-selling Pastel-topped Spanish Callos to their Eggplant Lasagna, served in a deep dish layered with eggplant and topped with three types of cheese (Cream Cheese, Mozzarella, and Parmesan), their cheesy version of the Greek Moussaka - at the steal deal Ensogo makes available!


    This offer is good for dine-in customers only.
