Triple O's by White Spot Opens at SM Aura Premier

Canada's well-loved fast food recently celebrated its 2nd store milestone in the Philippines with the opening of its SM Aura Premiere branch in Bonifacio Global City, Taguig. After successfully opening their very first store in the country at SM Megamall, Triple O's by White Spot had opened its second branch with plans to continue to expand its operation in the next coming months. 

Wham Burger: Finest Burgers Made Affordable

In a country that's partial to rice, opening a burger shop such as Wham Burgers may seem like a risky move. But the gamble has paid off. Since opening their first branch, Wham Burgers now has several outlets in the Metro and counting. A proof that even American food like burger and fries had a huge following. Thanks to their specially designed burgers--certainly not-your-ordinary-burgers made from 100% beef patty, charred and grilled to perfection. Since Wham Burgers came about, burgers turned out to be a habit-forming, craving-inducing Wham burgers. 

Offering some bacon slabs with egg is the Brekky Burger. It sounds weird by its name but it's worth to give it a try though. Also, a must-try for either a family of three or a group of three friends is the Wham Burger Slider Trio. It's super affordable at P250 per order, you'll be getting three burgers good for three pax to enjoy! I thought since it's called a "slider" it would be really small so when it was brought to our table, I was surprised it had the same size as the other brands' regular burger (given Wham Burger's standard size on burger, it's a bit smaller in size when compared to a regular Wham burger thus it's considered as slides). 

Dishes are no frills, cozy casual dining for the busy crowd yearning to grab a bite of one of the finest burgers I have ever tasted. Wham Burger's Double Wham Burgers won our heart with its repertoire of beef patties, and veggies at your own choice or specification. I mean, hello, how can you say no to a jaw-dropping double tower of burger? Most of the menu are familiar and filling, bringing together American/Western flavor with Filipino twists thoughtfully redone or tweaked with some flair and clever presentation. I'd have to say that everything from the menu are all Instagram-worthy. 

Kids will surely fall in love with their Spaghetti fries. Yes, an order had fries slathered and literally swimming in spaghetti and ground beef sauce and loaded with cheese. And it's also good for sharing. While you're at it, do try to ask and order for the Pepper Popper. You'll love it especially if you're into anything spicy. It could be similar to 'dynamite' rolls we're often used to, except that Wham Burger's pepper popper are more bite-sized but still loaded with all the cheesy goodness. I loved it! It isn't that spicy to begin with although it's made of green pepper crusted into some fried batter (it actually looked like chicken nuggets). But it is a gem that one will surely find interesting. If spicy isn't your thing, there are huge potato wedges or onion strings you might want to try. 

This is how the Pepper Popper looks like. 

But when you take a bite, that's where the green pepper is seen with oozing mozzarella cheese inside.

The Spaghetti Fries that kids and kids-at-heart will surely love. 

Potato wedges are crisp and perfectly done.

The interiors of Wham Burgers are just as much as an eye candy too, inspired by Comics Magazines. Swashes of bright yellow, red and blue. Plus illustrations of other comic-related visuals are present at Wham Burger shops. But we don't need a mural to tell us that, the fantastic food that was served on our table should be just enough. 

Wham Burger has a branch in SM Mall of Asia, SM North Edsa, Katipunan Avenue. 

CHARLIE’S GRIND & GRILL: FROM HANDCRAFTED BURGERS TO COMFORT FOODS YOU’LL SURELY LOVE!

Honest-to-goodness wagyu burger and fries.

Who isn’t fond of burgers? I do. I like burgers a lot; I spent half of my life eating burgers from burger slides to hefty burgers with aioli dressings or blue cheese. Although most nutritionists may consider eating hamburgers as a big no-no because it is regarded as “junk food”, who can resist such charred hot-off-the-grill juicy beef burger patty on a bed of lettuce and tomato on a huge bun of bread? Moderation is the key to eating burgers my friends. But there’s actually a better way to enjoy eating honest-to-goodness burgers than your ordinary fast food joint.

Buffalo wings that'll send you to heaven!

You wouldn’t think much of it at first, given the fact that Charlie’s Grind and Grill’s seclusion from the nearest malls. But believe me, it’s worth the entire trip in that other end of Greenhills (Does Ronac Art Center rings a bell?) Imagine handcrafted burgers of your own choice: wagyu, black pepper, cheeseburger, etc…plus fries as an additional side order (just add 45) and you’re ready to munch on one of the yummiest burger snacks on this side of town. If burgers aren’t your thing, there’s a whole lot of choices: from pulled pork sandwich, delectable cakes, sinfully delicious old-style chocolate shake or fruity smoothies, to the spiciest and tangy buffalo wings that’s sure to set your tongues on fire!

True, you may spend a higher price at this resto than your ordinary fast food, but I am telling you, the taste is just heavenly. With 100 % beef without any extender and I can guarantee you satisfaction in terms of taste and size. No virtual distortion here, mind you. It’s all what it’s supposed to be: yummy burgers grilled and made upon order.

The ambiance? Sporty yet laid back. When my family and I went there they even had an LCD TV where guests can watch sports events live such as the volleyball match between La Salle and Ateneo. Eating your fave burgers at an ambiance such as Charlie’s Grind and Grill had never been this fun!

Charlie’s Grind and Grill is located at the Ground Floor of Ronac Art Center, Ortigas, Greenhills, San Juan.
