Nostalgic Dining at Lydia's Lechon Restaurant

There is this certain happy feeling I have when writing about food that my parents enjoy even before they had a child who grew up to write about food. It can be a good excuse to peek through the yesteryears with some hint of the root cause why I, as their child ended up liking so much food. 

Lydia's Lechon is one of those which has become part of my parents past which love for it they carry to this day.

So this recent visit to Lydia's Lechon Restaurant along Marcos Highway in Antipolo courtesy of the people behind the brand led to some nostalgic stupor when my mother started telling stories about how she, as a child enjoyed some porcini bliss that only Lydia's Lechon could provide. 

The Halal Guys PH Manila Experience: The Food & The Food Enthusiasts Who Love Them @TheHalalGuysPH

The Halal Guys PH is set to open in Manila on October 13, 2015 at the Food Hall of Mega Fashion Hall SM Megamall. Media and some Manila bloggers were given a sneak preview yesterday of what to expect once The Halal Guys open its door to the anticipating public. 

I was one of those who kept an eye on them since the rumor started spreading that this iconic America-Halal street food franchise will hit Manila shore. And based on my experience, it's worth the wait. 

I haven't met anyone who have tried the Halal Guy's offerings and doesn't love them. Its stature that started from its humble beginnings in New York to what it is now is a pretty clear indication how this brand has earned the love of many food enthusiasts. 

Build Your Own Brownie Sundae at BONO Artisanal Gelato

Build Your Own Brownie Sundae is the new apple of my eye at BONO Gelato's menu. I have always been a fan of BONO from the get go since theirs are the best gelato I have ever tasted here in Manila. Now that they have released this new creation, it made me love them all the more.

I am a sucker for brownies and sundae isn't a bad idea either. The fact that it can be customized to my liking is the proverbial icing on the cake.

So this afternoon at Mega Fashion Hall in SM Megamall, I joined my friends The Mommist, Dude 4 Food, and Hefty Foodie in checking out BONO to try the Build Your Own Brownie Sundae. 

Breakfast Buffet at Fab Restaurant, Holiday Inn Galleria Manila

I stayed at Holiday Inn Hotel Galleria Manila with my family weeks ago to celebrate my sister's birthday. Part of our accommodation was complimentary breakfast buffet at Fab Restaurant. It was not my first encounter with Fab Restaurant since my parent's default hotel choice for family bonding has always been Holiday Inn and Crowne Plaza Hotel because of some Priority Club membership they are part of. 

Photos I took whenever we're dinning at Fab Restaurant were all tad too personal to be posted here on the blog, hence it is only now that I get to write about my dining experience at Fab.

Fab is the in-house restaurant of Holiday Inn Galleria Manila that offers breakfast buffet and all-day dining menu. Although Seven Corners Restaurant located at the connecting hotel Crowne Plaza is more famous, Fab Restaurant also offers impressive International food choices.

Earth Kitchen at BGC

Recently, I visited Earth Kitchen at BGC to check out the healthy food offerings they have. Some of Manila Food Bloggers have been raving about Earth Kitchen's farm-to-table concept which piqued my curiosity. I've been on the look out for restaurants that serves healthy food not only for personal consumption but because majority of people I know have been asking recommendation for such.

Earth Kitchen opened their first branch located at White Plains Katipunan in 2013. This year, they opened their second branch at Bonifacio High Street in BGC to cater to people who lives in the Southern part of the Metro.

I haven't been in their White Plains branch but I will surely visit soon since I loved everything I have tried at their BGC branch. I will also do a blog post about it, but meanwhile, let us focus to Earth Kitchen BGC.

Burger King PH: The Celebrity Endorser + The Grill & Chill Cookout + The Angry Whopper

Upon learning that Burger King Philippines has a new burger variant that features Jalapeño, I got really excited. Burger King is one of my favorite burger fast food chains ever because they got one of the best burgers, in my opinion. The introduction of the new spicy variant is very timely since it was only recently that I learned to love spicy food. 

Incidentally, I got an invite for Burger King's event held at their Tiendesitas branch. The event was all about their celebrity endorser Tom Rodriguez, the Grill & Chill Cook-Out, and of course, the Angry Whopper.

Lucky for me, I got my schedule cleared up, so to Burger King Tiendesitas I went. It was jam packed, fun, and exciting! 

The Max's Classic Chicken Burger #ChickenLove

Max's Classic Chicken Burger is the latest addition to the menu of Max's Restaurant in line with their 70th years in the business. Max's Restaurant is known as the home of the ever famous Sarap to the Bones Pinoy Fried Chicken. Their staying power in the business which started way back 1945 is a proof that all these years, despite the many competitors that come and go, they are still on top of their game.

Just like all of their other dishes, Max's Classic Chicken Burger is poised to satisfy people's palate with its impeccable taste and dare I say, charm.

Chicken Burger is not really a foreign concept at Max's menu. I remember enjoying it several times when dining at Max's - it was one of my favorites as a matter of fact. But its current version is way way better than its predecessor. For one, it now boasts of 2 chicken burger patties which make it more satisfying.

I got a good news from our friends at Osaka Ohsho PH and Wee Nam Kee PH recently and it’s all about the new dishes that are now part of its respective menus. Osaka Ohsho and Wee Nam Kee are two restaurants that I have blogged several times before, meaning theirs are one of those which good quality dishes and good service I can always vouch for. 

Hence, new dishes at both Osaka Ohsho and Wee Nam Kee are something that makes me excited.

 

So, if you are a fan like me, check out these new exciting dishes at Osaka Ohsho and Wee Nam Kee. Credits to our friends at Relish Group of Restaurants for this awesome news.
