Matgalne Korean Restaurant: Offering Affordable Korean Buffet in Manila

I have tried Matgalne Korean Restaurant along Kalayaan Ave. in Makati awhile back since I am curious about this affordable Korean buffet they are offering. Korean restaurants in Manila are already aplenty hence it is not surprising that most of us have already developed a liking for Korean dishes. I already have few favorite Korean restaurants but it wouldn't hurt to try others which I have not been before.

Matgalne Korean Restaurant in Makati opened way back in 2003. They also have a branch in Ortigas which just opened December of last year. They are known for their affordable buffet including unlimited Sangyupsal or pork belly and Chadolbaegi or beef.

I have not been to Matgalne Ortigas but I was told that the branch in Makati is more spacious and brighter. It's facade is nondescript while the interior is fairly spacious and clean. It has a comfortable vibe to it too.

Pepita's Kitchen Stuffed Lechon Degustacion: Hayop Na Degustacion!

Two kinds of stuffed lechon, bone marrow, crab fat, prawn, pork brain, the menu during Pepita’s Kitchen Hayop na Degustacion goes on and on.

For the faint of heart, Hayop na Degustacion is a heart attack waiting to happen.

Yet, even all known deities and the universe itself will be crestfallen should someone dies at mid-bite.

After all, The Lechon Diva Dedet dela Fuente’s famed degustacion isn’t an everyday thing. An unforgettable dinner by invite only, to showcase all the indulging dishes and new flavors of Pepita’s Stuffed Lechon one may order from Pepita’s Kitchen.

It was my second time to attend Pepita’s Stuffed Lechon Degustacion held at Pepita’s Kitchen somewhere in Makati area. The first one I almost passed out due to the degree of satiety I braved. But things like that rarely scares me, hence, an immediate YES was quickly dishes out upon receiving their second invite. This time, it was aptly tagged as Hayop na Degustacion. And it was. It really was.

Nothing beats a relaxing get together with your friends after a tiring day at work. What else could be a perfect accompaniment to such get together than great selection of cocktails and good food? Village Tavern got you covered. 

Great cocktails and food are just some of the main reasons why I love Village Tavern. The cozy ambiance and accommodating service are added bonus. Now that they are offering a 50% off on their cocktails, I have another reason to revisit.

McDonald's Cookie Butter McFlurry and Salted Caramel Sundae

I may not be one of those who went crazy over cookie butter since it hit Manila shore but I have to admit that I do enjoy the treat once in a while. So when McDonald's Philippines released Cookie Butter McFlurry as part of their Holiday Sweet Pleasures Desserts line up, I thought that I should try it one of these days, and I did.

I am currently residing at the mountain where it is perpetually cold most of the time, but we do have some hot days in here too. Today is one of those days so, to the nearest McDonald's I dragged my siblings. I deemed that it was the perfect time to try Cookie Butter McFlurry and the Salted Caramel Sundae.

Desserts options at McDonald's may not be extensive just like most fast food chains, but I must say that although limited, their line up I always find pleasurable. Their apple pie for instance, remained to be one of my favorites. Their creativity in terms of coming up with variety of flavors for their sundae and McFlurry, on the other hand remained pretty impressive. So it was half expected that they'll jump into the bandwagon that is cookie butter.
