The Great Aussie Eats at Outback Steakhouse Philippines

We visited Outback Steakhouse Philippines' branch at Eastwood City Libis recently to check out their new menu items tagged as The Great Aussie Eats. The new Outback Steakhouse dishes are said to be "Extremely addictive new favorites from the land down under" hence, I knew from the get go that we gotta check it out pronto. 

It was my first time at their Eastwood branch right after relocating from their old nook along C5 and I must say that this new branch is way better because it is accessible. 

While their branch in Glorietta Makati still holds a special place in my heart, the one in Eastwood is not a bad option either. not to mention, they offer breakfast meals in this branch.

Wolfgang's Steakhouse Philippines at Resorts World Manila

It was a lunch gathering I almost missed, my first visit at Wolfgang's Steakhouse Philippines located at the Newport Mall of Resorts World Manila. Good thing that I got friends who share the same affinity for manly meat and who are considerate enough to knock some sense to me that luncheon such as this should not be missed - I am lucky.

And of course, any self-respecting meat lover wouldn't pass on the chance to dine at critically acclaimed steakhouse from New York City and is said to be the first and the only steakhouse in the country which has its own dry aging room.

Much has been said about Wolfgang's Steakhouse by Wolfgang Zwiener since it opened its first branch here in the Philippines. Its history is quite impressive since Wolfgang Zwiener boasts of 40 years experience as a head waiter at the famous Peter Luger's steakhouse in New York.

Sulok Café, Antipolo City

Sulok Café is one of the newest cafe / restaurants in Antipolo City that just opened recently. It offers variety of cafe grubs such as sandwiches, pasta, salads, as well as rice meals alongside different coffee concoctions proudly curated for Sulok Café diners.  With variety of dishes and drinks on the menu, coupled with free wifi and a decent ambiance, Sulok Café can be a perfect hang out place where you can find your own favorite corner - or as they say, sulok.

I visited Sulok Café recently and based on my experience, I must say that Sulok Café rightfully deserve to be included on my Antipolo Food Trip Blog Series. 

Stepping inside Sulok Café, the thing that I noticed first was the artistic vibe it has. While it is not really an art cafe, the walls peppered with scribbles by Sulok Café's customers will make you think otherwise. 

Kings & Pawns Board Game Cafe, Marikina City

There is a noticeable proliferation of board game cafes these days and one of those that recently opened is Kings & Pawns Board Game Cafe located in Marikina City. There are a lot of homegrown restaurants and cafes in Marikina City but Kings & Pawns is one of the first few board game cafes in the area. 

Just like any other board game cafes, Kings & Pawns offers variety of board games alongside number of food items that diners may enjoy while playing. What sets them apart however is that there is no time/game limit nor minimum order needed to enjoy board games on this cafe.

There are only few board games that I get to enjoy but give me good food choices and I will certainly be there. So I visited Kings & Pawns one afternoon to check out their offerings. 

Yellow Bird Cafe X Kitchen, Beautiful Dining Destination in Antipolo City

Yellow Bird Cafe X Kitchen is one of the newest cafe / restaurants in Antipolo City and is the current apple of my eye. There are a lot of new restaurants and coffee shops opening in Antipolo and since I am dodging Manila traffic jam and have been working from home these days, my Antipolo Food Trip Blog Series will be on a roll.

Tucked away by the entrance of Mission Hills Subdivision, Yellow Bird Cafe X Kitchen is one of the restaurants near my place since most are located either in Antipolo town proper or the overlooking area along Sumulong Highway. Good reason why I am loving this restaurant even more.

If you are like me who is crazy about restaurants with beautifully designed interior coupled with impressive choices of food on its arsenal, then Yellow Bird Cafe X Kitchen might be just right up your alley.

Megawatt Restaurant, Gilmore Quezon City

I have been blogging about food and restaurants in Manila for good eight years now and it is not everyday that I get to see a restaurant which advocacy piqued my interest. In the case of Megawatt Restaurant located in Gilmore area of Quezon City near San Juan, it's their advocacy to use renewable energy by using solar panel. 

Just like its sister restaurant Red Baron Ribs and Steaks, Megawatt Restaurant is located right beside a car wash business. So, you can dine at Megawatt while having your car washed and you may check out the solar panel as well while you're at it.

I was invite to check out Megawatt couple of times already but it I always have to decline because I rarely attend food tasting event invite these days. When I finally had the time to be in the area however, I made it sure to finally check out Megawatt Restaurant. 

Tavolino's by Corretto Caffé, A New Cafe Restaurant in Antipolo City

Tavolino's is one of the newest cafe restaurants that opened recently in Antipolo City. It specializes in good cafe grubs and is poised to be one of the favorite hang out places in the area for both locals and tourists. A brainchild of five friends who loves good food and coffee, Tavolino's can be considered as an off shoot of Corretto Caffe in Quezon City which is owned by one of the owners.

I am running an Antipolo Food Trip Blog Series here at YedyLicious where I feature cafe and restaurants all over Antipolo City here in Rizal hence I was more than happy to be introduced to Tavolino's.

Tucked along Taktak Road, it will probably took me a while to discover this new cafe had I not been invited by one of its owners, Ms. Abby. A gracious host and a charming conversationalist, Ms. Abby spent an afternoon introducing me to a number of good things that Tavolino's has to offer. 

Ramen Nagi Manila: Nagoya King, The Ultimate Spicy Ramen

Ramen Nagi Manila recently released their newest Limited King Ramen, Nagoya King. With its default spice level of 10 that cannot be altered, Ramen Nagi's Nagoya King is aptly tagged as The Ultimate Spicy Ramen.

And I couldn't agree more. Considering that I could handle spicy food well, the Nagoya King really blew me away. Daunting? I don't think so. Because it is the kind of spiciness that will make you crave for more.

Being part of Ramen Nagi's Limited King edition line of ramen, Nagoya King will only stay on the menu for well, a limited time frame. Making it one of the must order dishes at Ramen Nagi to date. Perfect for the cold weather we are now experiencing here in Manila.

Lunch Buffet at The Crescent Moon Cafe and Studio Pottery, Antipolo City

For a long while I've regarded The Crescent Moon Cafe and Studio Pottery as a place where people can get high quality stoneware ceramic plates created by the famous Lanelle Abueva Fernando. I cannot count how many of my friends who are mainly chefs, restaurateur, photographer, and fellow food stylists have I accompanied to Crescent Moon to buy plates they needed since I am from Antipolo. 

And funny how it was only recently that I took a great interest with their restaurant. Mainly because I find reserving for their lunch buffet a bit tricky. Now don't get me wrong, I love Crescent Moon Cafe.

You see, based on my experience, unless you will be reserving for a big group, there really is no guarantee if you will be scoring lunch buffet or if you will be served a set meal. It depends on how many reservation they have for that day.
