We sat inside Thumbs Up but there are al fresco dining options if you feel like eating outside. Despite its location on a street off a bustling road, it is happy to note that the atmosphere was a little quieter, which we found really nice. The food was delicious and served piping hot, mostly on sizzling plates. If you're looking for a delicious appetizer or a satisfying meal, you need not look further than Thumbs Up's stuffed grilled squid! Marinated in a sweet and tangy vinaigrette and then stuffed with onions and tomatoes, it is then grilled over hot coals to juicy and flavorful perfection.

7 Flavors Buffet Restaurant in San Juan

If you’re an avid foodie like me, I suppose you’ll be able to relate to the sheer excitement I get from seeing rows and rows of sumptuous good eats lined up before your eyes.

For me, what I love most about buffets is not just the freedom I have to savour as much good food as I can, but also the moment of mindless and passionate indulgence in the selection of good food that befall my eyes. This is especially gratifying when the buffet spread belongs to one of my favourite cuisines of gourmet delight.

Their dishes range from Mexican, Japanese, Chinese, American, Spanish and Filipino cuisines. I’m sure you’re kind of curious what this restaurant can offer to gratify your gourmet pleasure.

Skinita Street Foodz in Kapitolyo Pasig: Serving Filipino Street Foods with a Twist

If you’re looking for a really nice place to eat clean Filipino street foods with a twist, look no further. Skinita Street Foodz would be your best bet. There’s no better place to experience high quality, well priced Pinoy street food with a lively social atmosphere than what Skinita has to offer. In fact, if I’d have my way, this place should just be renamed "Skinita Streetfood Heaven.” I love Skinita. After reading all of the great reviews, I knew I had to try it out on my recent trip to that stretch of Kapitolyo. I am so glad I did because I was definitely not disappointed.

Conceptualized by friends led by actor Sancho Delas Alas, Skinita Street Foodz brings in great flavors of Asian Fusion + loads of street foods to choose from. And we were also able to discover their cuapao variants, they’re absolutely divine! I personally don’t mind driving all the way to Kapitolyo, even braving the hellish traffic jam if I’m in the mood or craving for their soft and fluffy cuapao bun with pulled pork barbecue or for the more adventurous foodie, I highly recommend their Kimchi Cuapao. It gives an addicting kick! I won't be surprised if you'll ask for a second plate or perhaps try the other equally delicious variants.

But let me tell you, it’s worth all the effort and the trip.

Planas Pantry Sgt. Esguerra Branch Food Review: Comfort Food + Homey ambiance

My friends and I recently agreed to meet up and try the newly opened restaurant along Sgt. Esguerra Street in South Triangle, Quezon City [just beside Hi-Top Supermart] called Planas Pantry. The said establishment is like a breath of fresh air from the rows of establishments because it basically stands out. With its glass panels and awesome homey ambiance, Planas Pantry seems to beckon one from the outside. 

The minute I stepped inside Planas Pantry, it felt like I was being brought back in time to my teen years. Why is that so? Well, Planas Pantry is reminiscent of my favorite recycled stationery store as a teen, remember Papemelroti? The said establishment is Pinterest-perfect. It also exudes a positive vibe with wonderful décor to boot. With a warm and friendly welcoming ambiance aside from great menu selections and healthy drink choices. The food is reasonably-priced too. 

Wei Wei Freshly Frozen Hotpot Product Review + DIY Hotpot Recipe

DIY Hotpot from Wei Wei, freshly frozen products

I am a self-confessed Hotpot fan. I love the warm rich soup with honest-to-goodness broth especially on a rainy season. I love making my bowl and there's a good selection of  veggies and protein options to assemble it. So when I've heard about We Wei Special Freshly Frozen hotpot in a box, I got really excited to try them. Although it's going to be my first time to cook a D-I-Y (Do-it-yourself) hotpot, I know I could never go wrong because the instructions are easy peasy.

Xilaimen Seafood Restaurant Food Review at Robinsons Magnolia

Xilaimen Seafood Restaurant Operations Manager Ms. Andrea Joyce Ng-Wen

Xilaimen means Happiness in Chinese. This newly opened seafood restaurant is located at the al fresco dining area of Robinsons Magnolia in New Manila, Quezon City. They were from the same people that brought us one of the best Chinese cuisine based chain of restaurants, King Bee. I guess the only difference is that Xilaimen caters more on the upscale market. We were privileged to receive an invitation from a fellow foodie to try what Xilaimen Seafood Restaurant has to offer.

Comida Chefs Gallery Café Kamias Road Review: Ilocano-fusion Hole-in-the-wall Snack Bar

It may seem a bit odd for some people to combine an art gallery together with an intimate dining set up. But for some reason, it perfectly jived—and such was the case at Comida Chefs. Located at the second floor of Caballete Art Gallery, along that bustling Kamias Road in Quezon City, Comida Chefs is a brainchild of renowned fashion designer Danny Dela Cuesta, who had traveled around the world and studied a culinary course in Europe. He used to have a restaurant in Lucky Plaza mall in Singapore which served a fusion of Singaporean + Filipino cuisines, but he decided to come home to the Philippines and open up a catering business and a small dining area that serves Ilocano-fusion. This is his specialization as he’s a regional cuisine developer. He first opened up Comida Ilocandia along Timog but he had to close it down when an opportunity to partner with an art gallery opened because such is the trend now. Thus, Comida Chefs was born.

Goyangjhip Korean Restaurant Food Review in Angeles, Pampanga

What started out as a joyride turned out to be another food trip. That's exactly what happened to us when I've been invited to join my good friend and boss Aileen Nevynny as she tried traversing and exploring the northern part of the country while practicing her driving skills on unfamiliar roads and intersections. We ended up having lunch at Goyangjhip Korean Restaurant in Angeles, Pampanga initially to try on their samgyupsal. 

I was surprised to learn that there's a long stretch of restaurants in that area, particularly those that catered Korean cuisine. The whole stretch would remind one of the bustling Tomas Morato in Quezon City where restaurants abound. Going back to our lunch that day, we were welcomed by the Korean owner of Goyangjhip Restaurant. Of course, I don't understand Korean except for the basic "Annyeoung Haseo!" Although I am a huge fan of their healthy and spicy cuisine. We were served with banchan. These are sets of appetizers/starters which include kimchi, beans sprouts, leeks and other veggies, zucchini etc. 

We had ordered a soup base called Sundubu (Php200) which was made from soy. It actually looked more like grounded tofu. The soup itself was bland if you wouldn't put the special kind of sauce that's served along with it. Goyhangjhip staff patiently explained to us that you need to incorporate the special sauce into the tofu-like mixture to create the Sundubu soup. Along with the special sauce, sundubu tastes good although with hints of chili. 

Next, we've had Jeyukbokgum, another spicy dish made of pork (Php400). This is what I like best with Goyhangjhip, when you order this dish as well as their japchae, you can ask for another serving for FREE. Yes, that's how generous the Korean owners were at Goyhangjhip. In fact, the waitstaff even said proudly, "Ma'am, where else can you find a resto that gives a second serving for free? Only here at Goyhangjhip!" Finding out about that promo, we grabbed the opportunity and ordered their japchae as well. 

Since Aileen wasn't that familiar with Korean foods (she's more into French and Italian as well as other European dishes), she has allowed me to order for this particular lunch. I figured the best way for her to enjoy dining at Korean restaurant was for her to experience samgyupsal. So I had ordered Samgyupsal (Php200). If you're a Korean fandom, you'd know what Samgyupsal is. It's actually a D-I-Y grilling of pork along with other veggies such as onions, garlic, some chili etc. where you put the thin slices of pork into a lettuce and put some gochujang paste and salted sesame oil into it before wrapping it up and taking it into your mouth. Their samgyupsal's also good. The Korean owner instructed the waitstaff to turn the grill off when the meat was at its medium rare. But like most Filipinos who prefer having their meat well-done and hated seeing "pink" on their meat, we said we wanted it a bit overcooked; so the Korean allowed us to cook our meat a little bit more. 

I'm glad Aileen and Kuya Rani (her family friend and driving coach) enjoyed our Koreal lunch at Goyhangjhip. We went back into the road satiated and ready for another joyride. My verdict? The meals at Goyhangjhip was truly affordable and nutritious. Our lunch would be sum it all up into three words--   너무 맛있어요 : neo-mu ma-si-sseo-yo "It's very delicious". So the next time you find yourself in Angeles, Pampanga, you might want to check out Goyhangjhip restaurant.

Slammin' Mini Burgers + Fries with Dips Review at Promenade, Greenhills

I was out on errands with my nephew whom I consider as my son, Kyle, when he suddenly said he was hungry. It was a good thing that we're near Promenade in Greenhills, San Juan. It seemed like a perfect opportunity for us to discover new foodie joints in the area. So we went inside the said mall and we ended up at Slammin' Mini Burgers. We were attracted with the visually pleasing and colorful designs on its walls. They seemed to have a very cool + fun ambiance. I was looking forward to sample their take on the American burger classic in miniature version. However, don't underestimate these burger sliders as they are all made from 100% pure beef patties. Sure, these goodies may be "small" in size but they're certainly big on taste. Two Slammin' Mini Burgers actually add up to more than the average quarter-pounder, and a triple order is more than 1/3 pound burger. 

The genesis of Slammin' Mini Burgers was owner Patrick Dy's quest for a truly great cheeseburger. After seeing the comedy film Harold and Kumar's search for the White Castle burger in the movie Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle. Dy thought it would be nice to have something similar here in the Philippines. Hence, Slammin' Mini Burgers was born. Eventually, they aim to become the number one mini burger concept in Asia. With all of that said, did the mini burgers live up to the high expectations? Yes, it did. It was as good as I had hoped and better than I had anticipated. 

Slammin' Mini Burgers are absolutely the cutest and irresistibly tastiest burgers I've ever had in this side of town. It's easy to fall for those cute little buns, as they are so innately lovely, taking pictures before biting into one becomes mandatory. Even at times when Kyle and I find ourselves in hunger, we both take patience as he understands that his aunt was simply doing her 'job' as a "food blogger". 

I opted to try their Black Box creations comprised of John Candy, Big Kahuna and Romeo + Juliet. The meal came out quickly as expected, and we grabbed a seat inside to see what we've got. We've had the Black Box limited edition creations, it had mini burgers with catchy names such as John Candy, Big Kahuna and Romeo + Juliet. We've ordered a triple and among the three, I so loved their John Candy Slammin' mini burger. It's made of 100% all-beef patty, oozing cheddar cheese, candied honey cured bacon, sautéed onions, and salted caramel. I wish they'll be having this as a regular thing on their menu.  Big Kahuna, on the other hand had the same 100% all-beef patty, cheddar cheese, honey cured bacon, pineapple chunks, Sriracha mayo and teriyaki glaze. Romeo + Juliet had 100% all-beef patty, cheddar cheese, honey cured bacon, strawberry jam and salted butter. 

The Burger Breakdown...

The Beef: Quality beef is where it starts with any burger for that matter. I forgot to ask if they locally sourced their beef or they use imported ones. While the blend was proprietary, it tasted and felt like a blend of Brisket, Sirloin, and a bit of Chuck. It had a pleasant, but not overbearing taste. The beef was richly beefy with a strong presence of iron and complex steak flavors. Each patty was perfectly juicy. It delivered a savory rush of wet awesomeness with each bite. Burger was lush and dense while presenting just the right amount of chewy resistance. The quality of the beef was simply exemplary and as good as any of the best burgers that I have sampled. I was astonished to get mini burgers of such high quality in such a small food kiosk. 

The Seasoning: Salt and pepper were applied liberally, and in perfect proportion, to the exterior of the thick, pub-style burger patty.

 The Sear: The beef was very juicy, and this resulted in a sear that was less than epic. Still, the sear provided crispness and a nice shift in texture. The flat top was hot enough as evidenced by the thin layer of Well-Done beef enveloping the remainder of the patty. The beef was so flavorful and well-seasoned that a crisp sear was not missed or even needed.

The Preparation: There was a precise level of care, which was apparent in everything about the burger. The handling, the cooking temperature, and the presentation all suggested that great care was given to detail and the kitchen maintained high standards.

The Cheese: It was gooey, savory, and served to lend a creaminess to the already decadent bite.  

The Bun: The bun was a proprietary brioche-esque affair. It was moderately yeasty and just a little savory. The bun was otherwise relatively invisible, and it got out of the way to let the spectacular beef be the star of the show. The bun was nicely toasted, and it lent a bit of crispness to the edge bites.

I fell for Slammin' Mini Burger's John Candy at first bite. These had a lovely combination of honey cured bacon and caramelized onions + salted caramel with sweet and smokey flavors. They were perfectly flavorful. I happen to really enjoy these awesome Slammin' Mini Burger's John Candy mini sliders and I found these to be truly exceptional. It was terrific! 

The two other flavors from the Black Box Limited Editions had the same patty and bun but with a host of other toppings. Big Kahuna had pineapple chunks, Sriracha mayo and teriyaki glaze. The pineapple chunks balances the spice of Sriracha mayo, the crispy candied bacon on a slab of creamy cheddar cheese, all straddling on a small pound of ground all beef patty, grilled for medium to maximum tenderness and for optimum juiciness. 

Meanwhile, Romeo + Juliet had strawberry jam and salted butter to provide other flavors and textures. Kyle enjoyed this one because it's got the sweet yet tangy taste of the strawberry jam and a bit salty too. Both were spectacularly complex and wet mouthful as well. But sorry because I simply just couldn't get over with John Candy. 

The Fries: Slammin' Mini Burgers' thick cut fries are available in four kinds: For plain fries, Big Dipper (Php85), Double Dipper (Php115), while loaded fries consists of Beefy Supreme (Php125) and Mighty Mushroom Bacon (Php125). I was kind of expecting their fries to be a bit tad oily since they were deep friend. But I was wrong. The fries were nice, peel-on, standard-cut fries. They were earthy, crisp, well-browned, and perfectly seasoned. They were cooked in properly hot oil. The centers were creamy, which suggested that the fries at Slammin' Mini Burgers + Fries were par-cooked. They go perfectly well with an array of dips such as good ol' Sour Cream, Creamy Barbecue, Honey Mustard, Roasted Garlic, Jalapeño, Cheesy, and Hot Bell Pepper. 

Slammin' Mini Burgers + Fries + Dips had a roster of bestsellers on their menu. The All American Slider (Php145, double/Php215 triple) had "onion confit which was steam grilled" to perfection. They also have basics such as Slammin' Mini Cheeseburger (Php125, double/Php185 triple) as well as the popular Bacon Mushroom Melt (Php 175, double/ Php255 triple). If you can't decide on what to order, you can get all three in one plate via Slammin' Trio (Php225) or try The Farm (Php215) which gives you a Slammin' Cheese beef mini burger, Beer Battered Go Fish with Sour Cream and Crispy Chicks with Barbecue Sauce. 

 Kyle and I also had Beer Battered Fish and Chips with Honey Mustard dip. They are deep fried to crispy golden perfection with soft and delectable fish inside. We could've further enjoyed this meal. But I was a bit disappointed after taking a bite though, because the batter instantly separated from the fish right away. Perhaps they should use fresh panko breading instead to somehow hold the fish properly. Nevertheless, it's worth giving it a try. 

Another worth mentioning are Slammin' Mini Burgers + Fries + Dips' line of beverages. They have red raspberry, signature lemon iced tea and blue lemonade in cute little bottles. I love their Blue Lemonade because it had some 'cooling' properties with it. It's refreshing and complements any order from Slammin' Mini Burgers + Fries + Dips menu. 

Cap off your meals with Slammin' Ice Bergs. Kyle and I pretty much fell in love with these colorful ice cream mini buns. What? Yes, they made their own dessert using mini burger buns. It certainly can make you cool down and chill for a while. And at Php55 per piece, it's a sure winner indeed! You can choose from gooey cool chocolate, vibrant vanilla and sweet strawberry flavors. It was sooo good that the ordinarily chatty Kyle went completely silent on me. 

We walked in hoping that we'd get something to fill up our empty stomach and satiate our hunger pangs. We walked out stunned by the fact that a world-class mini burger was being offered to an audience that probably lacked the experience to understand their remarkable good fortune.Insanely good beef prepared meticulously and with passion was at an amazing value. The burgers are a non-fussy result of endless experimentation to achieve a superb level of flavor and quality.

 

I am planning to return to Slammin' Mini Burgers + Fries + Dips in Promenade, Greenhills soon because I am glad to know that there's a remarkable mini burger waiting for me, all I need to do is to show up. 

Slammin' Mini Burgers + Fries + Dips is located at the new wing of Promenade Mall in Greenhills. You can also find them at Food Choices, Level2, Trinoma Mall; on the 5th Level of Market! Market! (near the Cinema) and soon at the Robinsons Magnolia.

Royale Caribbean Jamaican Patties at Market Market

Have you ever heard of Jamaican Patties? You've probably smelled one wafting in the air but had never really pointed out the food where the aroma came from was simply because you're not familiar with it. For those who haven't tried it yet, Jamaican Patties are delicious curry-flavored beef pastries that can be found in Jamaica and other Caribbean islands. Kyle and I recently tried the Royal Caribbean Jamaican Patties located at the 5th level of Market, Market in Taguig City. 

The tables at the Royal Caribbean Jamaican Patties aren’t much. Customers would just often dash in for a patty to go, since they are located just beside the cinema. But Royal Jamaican Caribbean Patties' spot was modestly appointed, brightly lighted and even more brightly painted, in a manic shade of yellow mixed with red and greens. It is a fine place to eat except for the poor air conditioning system of Market! Market! mall.  Although Royal Caribbean Jamaican Patties have electric fans, still they're not good enough. The place was too hot and uncomfortable--so, c'mon, Ayala Malls Admin, I do hope you'll be able to do something about it. 

Let's proceed with the food: The Jamaican patties — beef and otherwise — are hefty but truly unmanageable or messy to eat. But just because you can eat a patty, which is practically a meal in itself, on the go doesn’t mean that a good one isn’t worth sitting down and contemplating--that is, if you can bear with the heat when you decide to dine in at Royal Caribbean Jamaican Patties. 

The meat fillings at Royal Caribbean Jamaican Patties are encased in a turmeric-yellow pastry, made with a fair amount of what seemed like a suet. The suet helps give the dough its savory appeal and, more important, its flaky texture. Like any good pastry made with ample fat, it splits into layers and shards when you bite into it, revealing the moist, nearly puréed meat filling within.

Unless you have some reason to shun it, beef is the best filling choice. It is moister and more flavorful than the very respectable chicken patty.  Allspice lends an aromatic note to both; ground black pepper and chopped cayenne chili peppers tag-team for a double-fisted — but not overwhelming — punch of piquancy and spiciness. 

Kyle and I ordered each kind of Royal Caribbean Jamaican Patties so we could decide which one's the best. We've had the Beef Supreme (juicy ground beef with tomato sauce gravy, no chili. Php45), Beef Royale (mildly spiced also at Php45), Beef Jerky (Extra Hot), Beef Grenada (Php45-detonates in your mouth with spicy beef and lots of chili), Beef Curry, and Cheese Burst Supreme (Php58 ground beef with melted cheese and beef tomato gravy). They all seemed to taste quite similar to one another so it was kinda difficult to make a review and differentiate their tastes. To help us with it, we've ordered Royal Caribbean Jamaican Patties' signature teas. Kyle had their signature regular iced tea while I've had Red Raspberry Iced Tea. Their signature teas somehow helped us cleanse our palates as we write our verdicts on the Jamaican patties. 

Regardless which patty you choose, if you can handle the heat, I recommend anointing it with a dash or a splash, or even more, of hot sauce. Beyond the incendiary sear, it has the alluring, multifaceted flavor of different exotic spices, best downed with a cold glass of their fruity and faintly vegetal signature teas. 

As expected, Kyle loved the Beef Supreme, simply because it's child-friendly. It's not spicy so if you're bringing kids with you, this is your best bet. Beef Royale had that strangely sweet tinge and spice with oozing cheese. The cheese wasn't the melted one though. Think of artificial cheese spreads inside the Royal Caribbean Jamaican Patty. 

To tame the fiery spices, you'd be glad to know that Royal Caribbean Jamaican Patties had a selection of teas to suit your taste namely: Ceylon Tea, Four Seasons, Mango, Premium Iced Tea, Iced Lemon Tea and Red Raspberry Tea for Php58 each! 

Beyond the patties, there are other things you could try from their menu. There's a filling baked macaroni (Php58), some baked cookies and soft served ice creams too. I was just a bit disappointed with their baked macaroni. It's supposed to taste good, but it tasted like some leftover from a party. The pasta was not al dente to begin with. The sauce seemed too dry and they scrimped on the cheese. 

Overall, I'd say that Royal Caribbean Jamaican Patties still needs some more improvement regarding their taste as well as menu offerings. But I'd like to commend them for their premium beverages (teas) because you can't just find them anywhere. The Jamaican patties are okay. They're not really bad, but as a consumer, you can't help but compare it with other Jamaican patties in the market today and you'll be able to figure out what I mean. I guess, if they are reading this post right now, I'd recommend that they try their rivals so that they could see what's been lacking on their part.

Royal Caribbean Jamaican Patties are located on the 5th level of Market! Market! in Taguig City. They also have a branch in BF Homes, Las Piñas.
