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. 

Burger Company PH Got You Covered This International Burger Day

Truth be told, the Burger Company in Quezon City is one of my favorite local burger restaurants in Manila.

For those who have already tried Burger Company’s burger offerings and then some, I am pretty sure you could understand why. 

But just for the record, let me say it straight, they are one of those that serve the best burgers in Manila.

So while I am working on food research for a writing project that requires me to visit the Burger Company, I figured it’s also the best time to check out their latest offerings especially that the International Burger Day (May 28) is already on the horizon.

McDonald’s Sans Rival and Oreo McFlurry

McFlurry with Sans Rival and McFlurry with Oreo - two of the many reasons why I have been frequenting McDonald's this summer season. With scorching heat of the sun, there couldn't be more apt way to beat the heat at a very affordable, not to mention sweet way than to indulge in these two McFlurry flavors by McDonald's.

Sans Rival and Oreo McFlurry are two of the Summer Desserts Lineup at McDonald's this season alongside Apple Pie ala Mode and the Apple Kiwi Surprise McFloat.

These two aren't really new kids to join the exciting food items at McDonald's. But due to popular demand, Sans Rival and Oreo McFlurry made a comeback to make McDonald's desserts aficionado  way sweeter. 

Kumori Japanese Bakery Philippines

Kumori Japanese Bakery which hails from Japan hit the Philippine shore recently and has now two branches; one in the basement level of Landmark Makati and the basement level of SM Makati. Kumori which bears the slogan “It’s Japan baked Daily” prided itself with their natural, handmade, fresh, and quality breads, cakes & pastries that echo artisanal baking craftsmanship of Japanese tradition.

First time I learned about Kumori was when I read it from Table For Three, Please blog. I am a big fan of cheesecake, hence, the Hanjuku Cheese, a bite sized Japanese cheesecake caught my attention immediately.

I have not visited the physical store as of yet, but it is one of those places I wish to check out sometime soon when I visit Manila. Friends from Kumori however sent over a package recently as a prelude of what to expect from Kumori Japanese Bakery Philippines.
