Behrouz

I'm Pretty Sure that everyone knows about Behrouz, the quintessential Persian Restaurant for Filipinos. I dare say Behrouz paved the way for Persian Food to enter the mainstream Filipino Palate. Whenever Lisa and I would head over to Behrouz we always Order the Kobideh which is a set meal of 2 Beef Kebabs, Basmati Rice with Butter, and Grilled tomatoes. Then we order extra grilled onions, a Chicken Kebab or Chicken BBQ and if its available the Salad Oliveyeh, which is made of Potatoes,Chicken,Eggs, and Mayo (creamy goodness) .

Food tasting...

Cafe Metro

There's a small restaurant at the ShangriLa Mall in Ortigas that serves good home cooked Filipino meals. If you find youorself at the Mall Try Eating at Recipes by Cafe Metro. I think they have other branches around the Metro buut this is where me and Lisa ate.

MUST TRY:

Crispy Tilapia
Gising-Gising
General's Chicken

Budget: Around Php800 for a hungry couple

Jatujak

San Jacinto

Had a craving for home cooked Chinese Food one night and where did we go to?...The Classic of Course! Panciteria San Jacinto, Located along C5 in front of Tiendesitas. Iv'e been eating in Panciteria San Jacinto since i was a kid. Although it was in their branch located along Q.Ave beside Delta Theater. The taste hasn't changed and the food never fails too please my discerning appetite :) . What's Good about San J(thats what i call it now) is that you can order their food in Poquito sizes which means you can order small servings of the different items, Sort of like a Degustacion menu :) You need not worry about the prices since San J is very friendly on the budget. I vouch for anything on the Menu, but be sure to order the Best Lumpiang Shanghai in Manila ...

Italianni's

Uncle Moe's

Charlie's

If you haven't heard about Charlie's yet, then you have to crawl out of that rock you call home. Charlies is THE place if you have a craving for American Comfort food thats affordable on the pocket yet priceless in taste. Commonly heard from Lisa "can i order the Angus Burger, a dozen Chicken wings(to die for), a pulled pork sandwich and an order of the fish and chips ... tapos pakikuha yung order ni roldan" hahahahahaha


MUST TRY:

All their Burger variants
Chicken Wings
Fish and Chips
Pulled Pork Sandwich

Healthy shabu-shabu

Before hitting the gym! haha!

Pancake House Is a familiar place for all of us, it reminds us of a time when we were kids and we longed for the Pan Chicken and the Spaghetti. Lisa and I were going to the gym one day when we felt hungry and decided to have a small snack before working out...

And the small snack became a feast !!! Jumbo House Burger with Fries(side order of gravy for the fries), Pancake House Spaghetti, 2 Orders of Tacos(which we mashed and turned into a salad), and an order of the 2 piece Pan Chicken with rice. We obviously didn't order desssert anymore since we didn't want to be too full since we were on our way to the GYM :)

HONG KONG - Jade Palace And Tasty

We went on a trip to HK last January and we got engaged :) !!!!! and we celebrated it the only way we knew how by eating enormous amounts of food.

If you find yourself at the IFC mall in Central HK, look for the Tasty Noodle Shop its located on the topmost floor, fronting the driveway. Their Beef Noodle Soup is a must try.

And, we all know that girls love going to Canton Road because all the designer shops are there. Fear Not men, at the last building on Canton Road before getting to the Ferry Terminal There is a restaurant on the 3rd Floor called Jade Palace. Head on up and order all the Dim Sum you want then order Sum more :)
