STEAK OUT SUNDAY AT MIMI & BROS!

Father's day this year was made even more special for me, as my family and I visited Mimi & Bros at Bonifacio Global City, for their Steak Out Sunday event they celebrated in cooperation with Steak.PH! 

Not only did we feast on a mouth-watering Ribeye, we also enjoyed some of the items on Mimi & Bros Menu! 

Thank you Chef Ed Bugia for having us! 

RAGING BULL BURGERS AT SHANGRI-LA THE FORT

           My search for the best Burger in the country, so I decided to start with the popular Raging Bull Burgers, located at Shangri-la The Fort in Bonifacio Global City!

I tried every burger on their menu, including their vegetarian one! See what I do for you guys? hehe.. Have you tried Raging Bull Burgers? What did you think?

JAMES AND DAUGHTERS BY LE JARDIN: A FOOD HAVEN IN BGC

       One fine Saturday, we visited James and Daughters By Le Jardin, the brainchild of Chef Jonas Ng! We were blown away by his wide array of diverse dishes, which put his undestanding of flavor profiles on full display.

His epic desserts were also amazing!

CAFE ENYE OPENS AT CITI PLAZA, BGC

        I still remember when I tried the Brunch Menu of Cafe Enye at Eastwood, and I felt that I wouldn't be surprised to see more branches of this delicious discovery in the near future. A year later,  Cafe Enye finally decided it was time to expand, with its second branch opening at Bonifacio Global City!

IBIZA BEACH CLUB AT BONIFACIO GLOBAL CITY

           I still remember my 15 Course Balearic Grilled dinner at Ibiza Beach Club in Movenpick Cebu being among the most epic I've ever had in my lifetime. It was always the highlight of my trip whenever I would visit my former hometown. 

       Can you imagine my elation when Ibiza Beach Club finally open a branch here in Manila, bringing with it the fantastic festival of meats that their Balearic Grill has been known for? 

     Check out my latest VLOG about my long awaited visit to Ibiza Beach Club in BGC! 

FIRESIDE IGNITING BONIFACIO HIGH STREET

          I absolutely love the work of Chef Chiloy Santos, the man behind institutions such as Tender Bob's, Kettle and Fireside. I am a fan of American Cuisine, and Chef Chiloy admittedly draws a lot of his inspiration from his travels around the United States. When his latest concept, "Fireside by Kettle" opened at SM Mega Fashion Hall a couple of years ago, I made sure to be there on the first week that it opened with my family to celebrate my birthday. Since then, I've been back a few more times, and each time I've visited, the food has remained consistent, with the food getting better and better each time. 

           The success of the Megamall branch has led to an inevitable expansion, this time at Bonifacio High Street.            

PICKIEST EATER VLOG: A Japanese Feast at IZAKAYA SENSU

       Given that I've never had a disappointing experience with The Raintree Group of Restaurants,  I was excited to try their new Japanese restaurant, Izakaya Sensu, which is located at Net Park at Bonifacio Global City.  

        Izakaya Sensu's menu features a wide range of Classic Japanese dishes, as well as some items that were innovated to keep up with the times, without losing its sense of tradition. 

PINKS MANILA: IT'S THE LOVE YOU DISCOVER

            I was quite surprised that Pink's, the Hollywood Hotdog Legend, decided to set up shop here in Manila. Don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining. I love me a good hotdog, but I always thought of it as more of a "Mom and Pop Hotdog Stand" than an international restaurant chain. Being a lover of comfort food, I was fully aware of the legend of Pink's in Los Angeles. During my 2014 trip to L.A., I made it a point to visit to stop by for a hotdog at Pink's, as soon as I realized there was a stand at Universal Studios, which we were visiting that day. 

       I was impressed with the juicy, meatiness of the hotdog, especially that gorgeous snap that came with every bite. Finally, Pink's opened at Shangri-la Hotel at The Fort, and I finally got around to visiting, together with Rina and Rain!

THE FIFTH BITE: TEXAS ROADHOUSE AT HIGH NOON

        I was invited to the VIP night of sparkling new Texas Roadhouse at BGC Uptown Mall, and here's a glimpse of what we had!

O RICE KOREAN STYLISH PAN FRIED RICE AT BGC FORUM!

       It was just a few months ago that I had my mind blown away by my Korean BBQ meal at Yoree Korean BBQ at BGC Forum. I've been back twice since then, and each time I pass by its sister restaurant, O'Rice, I can't help but be intrigued. O'Rice prides itself in serving what they call, "Korea Stylish Pan Fried Rice", and as a lover of fried rice, this got my immediate attention. 

   I was happy to discover that, like Yoree, O'Rice is also really quite amazing!

NEST MODERN TABLE & BAR: SOARING THROUGH BGC!

           Since my very first meal in URBN Kitchen & Bar, I knew that their Executive Chef, Benjo Tuason was the real deal. More than anything, it's his versatility that impresses me most. One minute he's delving into oriental dishes, the next thing you know he's whipping up a European delicacy. The next, he's schooling you in classic Pinoy dishes.

            The man simply refuses to keep his culinary talents in a box, and is unafraid to explore flavors and dishes from around the world. When Rina and I were graciously invited to Chef Benjo's newest baby, Nest Modern Table and Bar, I knew we were in for yet another mouth watering evening of food and fun!
