Food Trip #13: Sizzling Pepper Steak

Sunday is a sundate day. So Marjorie and I went to Robinson's Galleria Mall in Ortigas, but before we eat. We went first at Victory Christian Fellowship to listen to the word of God.

-o0o-

We decided to eat at Sizzling Pepper Steak. Their cuisines are Japanese food combined with the Sizzling touch  like a Sizzling Sisig Pinoy style.

Food Trip #12: Mcdo's BIG MAC

Actually we already have a post here about Mcdonalds, but as I've said in my post, I will be posting again about their infamous BIG MAC. Is it really big? Haha. Let's find out.

When we ordered big mac, the girl in the cashier told us if it's okay to wait for 3-5mins? WTF! I though this is a FAST FOOD restaurant? Anyway I got no choice but to wait. 

When I saw the BIG MAC. I'm very DISAPPOINTED! Is it big? NO?! Definitely not! I rather choose two cheese burger rather than this!

Food Trip #11: Starbuck's Belgian Waffle

To be honest, I've been hooked with Starbucks these past few month because of their promo last November, to collect stickers and get a free planner! But after that promo, I'm still craving for more... More Belgian Waffles.

 

So we ordered Starbuck's Belgian Waffle. You can actually choose which syrup you want. If you want chocolate, strawberry or caramel. Actually I like caramel but Marjorie LOVES  (and i mean it!) CHOCOLATE! Haha. So I had no choice but to choose chocolate syrup.

I really love the waffle of Starbucks, it's very sweet (i also love sweets), crunchy inside, and combine with the whip cream + chocolate syrup = PERFECT! It is better if you could drink a cup of Starbucks coffee too. A PERFECT combination.

Overall I really love the combination of this waffle. Nothing beats Starbucks. A two thumbs up. :)

Food Trip #10: Reyes Barbecue

Marjorie and I went to the mall last Saturday at Market market in Taguig. We found ourselves craving for CHICKEN!! Actually it's Marjorie's tummy that is craving, not mine. Haha. So we decided to eat at Reyes Barbecue founded by Frank Reyes.

So we ended up ordering their Chicken Barbecue (boneless), their best seller.

-o0o-

(c/o House of Reyes Barbecue Website)

When we received our food, I really love the combination of peanut sauce and the java rice. Though it is my first time to try that combination, but it really suits the taste. I also love their atchara, it really best side dish for grilled foods. Although some people really don't like the taste of atchara. 

I also like the chicken meat, it's so tender and easy to eat.

 -o0o-

(Chicken Barbecue ₱120)

Overall I really love the combination of their sauce, java rice, and of course their chicken barbecue. It is just worth to try. Their servings are not that large, so Mang Inasal's Chicken is much larger than theirs. It's your choice but I wont recommend it to chicken lovers out there.

Food Trip #9: House Of Lasagna Cakes and Pastries

One of my favorite foods is lasagna. The first time I tried lasagna is back when I ordered lasagna in Greenwich, I really love the taste of cheese melting on my taste buds. So bringing back those memories, Marjorie and I went to Wilson Greenhills, San Juan to visit a famous restaurant which carters lasagna as their house specialty.

-o0o-

The owner of this restaurant is Chef Erick Congmon, a very friendly approachable person. He always make sure that his customers are very comfortable in what they eat and also comfortable in his place.

(c/o House of Lasagna facebook page)

So what we ordered are, of course their house specialty. Mine is Pesto Lasagna and Marjorie choose Chicken Lasagna. What I liked about this restaurant, is ALL LASAGNAS ARE SERVED WITH UNLIMITED GARLIC BREAD!!

Isn't that awesome?!?! I just love the word UNLIMITED! It keeps me going! Haha.

Can you see the picture below? Their lasagna is OVERFLOWING with cheese, it's so powerful that it overpowered the pesto taste. Their pasta is not too soggy, or thick, just perfect. Though I really don't mind if it has too many cheese, by the way I LOVE CHEESE. :)

As you can, they put the lasagna on a ceramic plate(don't know what it is called) and take note! IT'S VERY HOT!

Food Trip #8: H.I.D. Burgers (Healthy Irresistable Delicious Burgers)

Tried eating a burger that is healthy? Well that's hard to find these days. I accidentally found one, just because of the also called "tawag ng tiyan". While Marjorie and I, are cruising the road, I felt hunger, so we stopped by a Phoenix Gasoline station owned by Manny Pacquiao(not sure Haha), and beside that gasoline station is restaurant for burger and alcohol lovers. HID it is!

-o0o-

Actually, they just opened last 1-11-11, pretty cool? Anyway this picture below it contain signatures of our Mayor, some friends i think, etc. Haha. 

 

So when we looked at the menu, they actually don't have different combination of burgers, and what i liked about this place is the price of their burgers is not to high compared to other store. So Marjorie ordered Cheese Bomb, and I ordered Sicilian(I did a hard time pronouncing that word. Haha)

  -o0o-

When we got our order, my FIRST IMPRESSION is wow! Looks yummy, even though it still have a foil on it. My SECOND IMPRESSION is WTF! I doesn't look tasty, I almost felt that it is not worth to take pictures. My THIRD IMPRESSION is WTF WTF WTF! Haha. Very tasty!

They are not using buns unlike jolibee, and mcdo. They are using pandesal as their bun, and also their patty IS VERY YUMMMMMY, they use 100% chicken meat. :) They really live as their name is HEALTH, IRRESISTABLE, DELICIOUS. But I really don't know if its healthy. Haha.

(Cheese Bomb - Premium ₱125)

-o0o-

(Sicilian - Premium ₱125)

I really recommend this for you. If you are a burger lover, try this one. I promise that you wont' regret their burgers. But one thing that i don't like is there are a lot of people drinking, and smoking. I recommend you to visit them 3-6pm, that is the time when they don't have a lot of customers.

Food Trip #7: Aling Kika's Food Products

Our food trip will go to Cainta Municipality in the Province of Rizal. Actually Cainta is the Bibingka capital of the Philippines, and the truth is I live in this municipality for almost 15 years of my life and i do not know that Cainta is famous in this kind of Industry, so we checked it out Aling Kika's Bibingka that it is running for almost 20 years or more.

So we tried their round shape bibinka, with different kinds. I forgot how much it is but I think it ranges from 100-150 pesos. When we tasted their product, it was worth the price. I cannot explain exactly the taste but it is sure tasty.

 -o0o-

Well they also have other products other than kakanin. So it is really worth to try! Why is Cainta called Bibingka capital of the Philippines. You should try it your self.

Food Trip #6: Aysee's Famous Sisig

After our sisig escapade at Mang Jimmy's, we felt that our bodies need some work out, to burn all the fats and calories that we intake, but nonetheless it never happened =). So after a few days we tried Aysee's sisig at Tiendesitas-Pasig.

-o0o-

The service crews are very attentive, and listen to our orders very well. So we ordered of course their sisig, calamares, and their papaitan. When I think of our orders very well it is like a pulutan and the missing ingredient is a nice cold beer. Haha. =) *cheers*

 

 We first ate their calamares or fried squid with a mayonnaise dip, nothing special about their dip but what I liked about their calamares, is. Hmmmmm, it's just i love fried squid. Haha, and crunchy feeling while eating eat. So yummy.

 (Calamares ₱100)

After that appetizer, we get straight to our main course, of course their famous sisig. Actually i came across their restaurant while reading the news paper(thank you). 

I really love their sisig, very tasty one. Now I know, why it was put in the news paper. "Top 10 best sisig in the Philippines". Their servings is good for two persons already! Wow.

(Pork Sisig ₱100)

 We also ordered papaitan. I really love this dish because, I ate this when we were in La Union Province.The soup of this dish, is bitter (mapaet), so i added some calamansi in it.

(Papaitang Baka ₱100)

After eating, wow. I can't move. Haha. I really recommend this restaurant. If you are looking for a good food, with good service. I really recommend Aysee, and also for those Sisig lovers.

Food Trip #5: Mang Jimmy's Sizzling Sisig

Our first stop in our Sisig escapade, Mang Jimmy's located at UP balara. Some reviews told us that their sisig is one of the bests. So Marjorie and I went there at 12nn to eat lunch. I am really craving for sisig. Haha. I'm still on my twenty's, just eat moderately. Haha.

I was not able to take a picture of the inside of Mang Jimmy's place. But when i saw their parking lot, there a lot of cars outside their restaurant. I'm so amazed, a little restaurant can be so packed with many students of Miriam, Ateneo, and UP. I'm really excited about this.

So anyway we ordered, of course none other than their FAMOUS SIZZLING SISIG. I just love their sisig, their servings is good for two people already, and also their meat is cut in large unlike other sisig, their meat is cut into very small servings.

 

 (Sisig with Egg ₱110)

We also ordered their Porterhouse steak, i don't recommend this one, the meat is too hard to cut, i was not satisfied with the taste of the gravy, but still it's nice to try, and their servings is not too bad. It is good for 2 persons.

(Porterhouse steak ₱250)

I really want to recommend this place to you, a lot of actors/actresses already went here to enjoy their sizzling foods. The food is great, the waiters are very attentive. A nice place to go with your friends and family

Food Trip #4: Iceberg's

Marjorie went to our house to watch some movies. So we watched The Little Fockers, and Easy A. After we watched, I told Marjorie that you should go to the office now, because her schedule is 1:15am (she's a Call Center agent). 

About 11pm we left the house and arrived 11:15pm at Ortigas Discovery Suites, she works at TELUS International. Marjorie told me that it's still too early, so we decided to went grab a bite at Metrowalk.

So we decided to eat at Iceberg's since some of the restaurants are closed.

So we started off, trying their appetizer, their Buffalo Wings. When i tasted it. I kept on having a smiling face, and told Marjorie, I NEED A RICE! Haha. The taste of chili, sweet, and other spices. I just love this chicken. Also together with the chicken it has chips and a dip for it. 

-o0o-

 (Buffalo Wings ₱198)

I ordered their Famous Sisig. I really love sisig, so for me it really taste good. It's not too oily, and perfect for it's combination of the raw egg, that is usually serve when they gave the sizzling plate. I also love the onions. Yummmmmmyy =)

 -o0o-

 

  (Famous Sisig ₱188)

 Then Marjorie ordered some Hungarian Carbonara. I told that she should just ordered Lasagna (i LOVE CHEESE) but she told NO! Oh well..anyway, I also loved the presentation of the Carbonara, but when i tasted it, i felt a bit disappointed. It taste bland, but there is still some unique taste but not that strong. I tasted the sausage, and I liked it.

 -o0o-

  (Hungarian Carbonara ₱188)

 Our other pictures, we just love taking pictures. =')

 

Well we should have ordered some of their best seller. Their halo halo, hope it taste good. Anyway some of the foods are great. Some are not. The price is too much expensive. Nice to try. =)
