Not Just Meat Restaurant in Antipolo City [Antipolo Food Trip Series]

Not Just Meat is a new restaurant in Antipolo City (Rizal Province) which I happen to visit for my Antipolo Food Trip Blog Series. Located near Transfiguration of Christ Chapel and Maia Alta Subdivision, Not Just Meat is an addition to few restaurants located at the upper part of town as most are located at either Antipolo town proper or along Sumulong Highway also known as the overlooking part of Antipolo City.

When I first heard of its name, I was under the impression that they specializes in different dishes with emphasis on vegetables - because well, the name is a statement in itself - not just meat.  Turns out, they do have a different story.

Not Just Meat used to be just a meat shop before they branched out into a dine in restaurant / snack bar. Given the area they occupy, patrons who buys meat products from them would always ask if they serve cooked food aside from their frozen meat products. After a while, the owners decided to expand their meat shop and serve meals using their products. Hence the name - Not Just Meat.

Tempura Tendon Tenya Philippines

Tempura Tendon Tenya located at SM Megamall is known as the most successful tendon restaurant chain in Japan. It recently opened its first store in the Philippines and aims to provide high quality and affordable tendon and tempura.

Tendon by definition is a shortened term for Tempura Donburi, a rice bowl topped with the goodness of tempura. Since majority of Filipinos loved the Japanese dish Tempura, combining it with rice in one filling bowl is undoubtedly a surefire hit.

History dictates that Tempura Tendon Tenya that hailed from Japan started way back 1982 when founder Mr Yoshio Iwashita opened its first outlet in the Yaesu underground Mall at Tokyo Station. Several years after its conception, Tempura Tendon Tenya now operates with numbers of branches in Japan, Thailand, Indonesia, and now, the Philippines.

US Frozen Potatoes Easy Cheesy Fries with Bacon Recipe

This Easy Cheesy Fries Recipe was inspired by the many possibilities or should I say, potato-bilities that anyone can come up with using US Frozen Potatoes - in business or at the comfort of one's own home. 

US Frozen Potatoes have been around the market for quite a while now. While most of us know that some of major food establishments in the country made use of US Frozen Potatoes for their culinary creations, some of us have little idea that as a consumer, we can also recreate those potato-based dishes at home.

That is not to say that we can completely ditch the idea of supporting our favorite restaurants, I am after all a food blogger that leans heavily on writing about restaurants. I am all for supporting creative minds feeding people with good food and decently making a living out of it. What I am presenting here however is the alternative spin when one got no time for eating out - especially if ingredients for your favorite dish are widely available in the market, just like the US Frozen Potatoes.
