I have passed by Buenisimo so many times since it's located just a few minutes from my house. I…read morehave always been curious about the food. Since it's a name attached to Cafe Ysabel, I figured that it must be good. Fortunately, the place didn't disappoint. I was quite satisfied with their pizza and pasta dishes. A little too expensive for my taste, but I also understand that you really have to pay for quality ingredients. What did leave a mark with me, however, is their complimentary bread and dip. Oh how I would go back even for their complimentary dip alone. Soft bread was served at the start of the meal but their dip was something out of the ordinary. It was mixture of tomatoes, olive oil, olives and I'm not sure what else , but it tasted amazing! I wanted to drown my piece of bread in their dip. If I wasn't the lady I presume to be, I really would have.

Oddly, this is my go-to Japanese restaurant here in Manila! I know it's not authentic and all coz…read morealmost all things in the menu are fusion but still, I get my fix from this place. The atmosphere of this branch itself is not something to look forward to (comparing to nearby relatively newer restaurants in this building). The servers are great as they are not too overbearing but let me just say that the food is what keeps me coming back! M2, omakase roll and spicy tuna salad, I love you.

I've been to Omakase a couple of times now, and every time I enter the place I instantly get caught…read moreup in the sweet, distinct aroma of Japanese cuisine; it makes me hurry to my seat so I can order and finally get my hands, er, chopsticks on their food! Recently, I've tried their Mt. Fuji Roll which has deep-fried tuna, unagi, and cream cheese. The taste is eel-ectrifying (ha!). I like how the mild taste of the cream cheese balances out the saltiness of the tuna and unagi. Aside from the usual fare of sashimi and maki, I almost always go for teriyaki chicken when eating at Japanese restaurants. Omakase's teriyaki chicken is good; it has that smokey, savory flavor that's important in teriyaki chicken, though I guess it's a little too sweet. With its intimate setting, I'd consider it a great place to go to when with family or friends. If you're going in a large group, try the Sushi Boat but prepare to go a little overboard (another ha!) on your budget.

Right across one of my client's office (and where I often bribe the guard to let me park) is a…read morebranch of Mom & Tina's. I used to frequent their branch along C5 since it used to be on the way to my school. My usual order was their Shepherd's Pie. Nothing special really, but it was just the simple taste of a home cooked meal that made me love it. Yesterday, I decided to order something different. Having been away from home for a few weeks, my taste buds were craving for something Pinoy. They now have an All Day Breakfast menu which includes my favorite Filipino Breakfast, beef tapa. I honestly wasn't expecting much, nor was I expecting service to be so quick, but when I first laid my eyes on the plate, I knew it had to be good! Now, for tapa, I like to make sure that I've got all aspects in my spoon. First the garlic rice, then a part of the egg, then some tapa dipped in vinegar, and to top it all off... Atchara! And that first bite? Maaaaan. That first bite. It was heaven. I fell in love. It was like a beef tapa bacon. Tasty, salty and crunchy. It was so good that whenever my boyfriend would ask for a bite, I would let him get a spoonful with a heavy heart. I absolutely did not want to share my food! Mom & Tina's definitely became part of my Best Tapas in town list!

My favourite Mom & Tina's branch!…read more I don't know how it came to be but my family and I have developed this tradition of having a small family reunion at Mom & Tina's each year. It's weird because no one talks about it but yes, you can find us there all together once a year. Though I do visit this branch more often than once a year since I like how the place looks (like a doll house) both on the inside and outside. I think this place can accommodate slightly more people than the other branches but I could be wrong. I love their desserts and their baked goodies specially their Bacon empanada. Yes, please! The winning dish for me here is their Paella and their roast beef. But more often than not, I get their breakfast options since I am a breakfast person. Definitely worth a try! How's your Mom & Tina's experience?

The whole restaurant looks just like a saloon in the American Old West. There's even a bar where you can order beer, wine, liquor, and cocktails. What I really like about this place is their food. Whenever I stay here, I would often order their Potato Chips and Skins for my appetizer. This snack is made out of thinly-sliced salted potatoes served with a garlic ranch dip. For my main meal, I usually get their Big Momma's Baked Chicken, which is one of their bestsellers. Big Momma's Baked Chicken is made out of boneless chicken quarters served with vegetables and mashed potatoes. It's also topped with a creamy white sauce and melted cheese. There are so many things in their menu that I still want to try! I would definitely like to revisit this place.

The halo-halo was the standout for me--really hit the spot and perfect for the weather. The palabok was very generous with the sauce, which I appreciated, though flavor-wise it wasn't especially memorable for me since I've had better elsewhere. The sisig on rice was okay, but I wish there was a bit more sisig compared to the amount of rice. The place was packed though, so clearly a lot of people keep coming back for a reason. I'd still be open to returning and trying some of their other ulam next time.

Came here one morning for take-out; just coffee. I ordered an iced white chocolate mint soy latte. Really good. *thumbs up* and we saw that they also had a good variety of cheesecakes and desserts. And upon a quick scan of their menu, turns out they have plenty of food options as well. So we came back in the evening around 7pm on a Tuesday. Not crowded but definitely not empty; we easily got a seat in the back area. Ordered a pistachio milk shake (*thumbs up again*) and shared a Four Mushroom pizza with my niece. We weren't expecting it to be black and we were curious if it was a special dough or something. But we were told it was food coloring that made it that way for aesthetic purposes. Tasted really good. I liked the added bonito flakes. Service was good. Didn't wait too long for the food. Only the bill out took longer than expected.

I like that they gave me a newspaper to read during my last visit. Service was at par to expectations. Waiting time is reasonable and the dishes are always worth the wait. The place is always clean too! Among their comfort food choices, I tried the Honey Glazed Chicken Rice Bowl and it was just downright amazing! This dish isn't typical. I love the sauce with sesame seeds, slightly crunchy coating, and the soft meat! Everything stayed very hot even after picturing them. Serving is good for 1-2 people, though I actually felt I could split the bowl in 3 to cover breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I'm using all-caps to say it's HIGHLY RECOMMENDED to try.
