Chubby Chicken at Katipunan, Quezon City

Truth be told, rarely do I find myself, perusing the list of restaurants in Katipunan area to visit. I realized I have to work on that. Being introduced to Chubby Chicken in Katipunan, Quezon City recently was a good way to kick start this somewhat new food blogging responsibility goal. It was a good start yes. Not only Chubby Chicken offers good grubs, they are affordable as well.

Aptly located near universities in Katipunan, Chubby Chicken mainly caters to students with their hefty servings and affordable prices. But no one says that yuppies and those who are kid at heart aren't welcome. This little, albeit impressive spot for good chicken which started in some food bazaars aims to serve people from all walks of life. While Chubby Chicken's soy-glazed chicken has the spotlight, other items on their menu are also well worth your moolah, not to mention, your calorie count.

The location isn't really hard to find, having Mc.Donalds Katipunan as its landmark. Chubby Chicken is just right behind it. It isn't as spacious as I had hoped but it does possessed the charm of the usual students' hang out joint. I went there on a Sunday and it was surprising to see impressive numbers of customers. Even without school, Chubby Chicken is thriving on a what supposedly a not so busy days in its operation. It is a good sign, if I do say so myself.

Burby's Bistro Grill Restaurant along Libis in Quezon City has been in the business for quite sometime now. This restaurant located just in front of Eastwood City has been known as a place where young professionals spend their after work hours over bottles of beer and finger food that goes with it. I myself have heard of Burby's Grill during the time while I was working in Eastwood City area. With the basic knowledge that they only caters to guests who wants to drink alcoholic beverages, I never really had a chance to visit.

Little did I know, Burby's Bistro Grill Restaurant offers comfort food and other delightful meals that are meant to satisfy palates and appease even the most stubborn of cravings. While it is known to serve cocktail drinks and other alcoholic beverages in a cozy environment, Burby's Bistro Grill Restaurant is also at par with other restaurants serving comfort food in terms of quality and affordability.

With branches at Libis, Taguig, Commonwealth, San Fernando, and NLEX, Burby's Bistro Grill Restaurant boasts of serving wide variety of dishes including all-day breakfasts meal. Having visited them weeks ago, I could attest that I was deeply impressed at how extensive their menu is. In terms of flavor, well, I could say that they did not disappoint.

It was the 11th servings of Manila's most anticipated food event, The Ultimate Taste Test headed by one of the famous food bloggers in Manila, Our Awesome Planet in cooperation with San Miguel Lifestyle Brews.

Just like the previous UTT events, the 3rd Rockwell Ultimate Taste Test follows the same drill. Food critics were given a passport where they could write down their score and feedback for the food businesses participating the event. I was able to drop by at the Rockwell Tent to wear my food critic hat, and although it was a quick visit, I was able to enjoy remarkable food and was able to collate my top picks as well.
