There's this one time we tried eating there at around 8pm and we are like number 56! Wow and people still come and take orders even the stocks are nearly replenished! So tip for you first timers, drop by the place in a weekday, preferably around 3pm and make sure to plan it in a week where people has no "sahod" so you could enjoy eating without the hassle of actually waiting for 2 hours! Another good thing here is that you can order in advance and you get to pick up the bbq after a while or so. We did this like 3x since we host christmas dinners at home. I love Mang Raul's and I know you will too!

We were nearly hopeless, 'til we saw a barbecue stall with a pretty good number of people waiting to get their turn at picking their orders. We parked immediately and waited for our turn. The barbecue man Mang Crom enthusiastically took a plate and handed it to us when it was our turn. For PhP99, my sister and I got 1 pork barbecue, 1 hotdog, 4 chicken intestines, 2 pig intestines, and 1 pig's ear. We took a seat at one of the tables between the several stores and waited for our order. Aside from the tender and tasty barbecued items, I liked the steady, relaxed vibe and it somehow reenergized us for our drive home.

I recently went to my cousin's farewell party and the Pancit Malabon caught my attention because of how beautiful it was prepared, but the look was just an added bonus, it's the taste that makes me come back for more, and it was probably the best I've tasted so far. I just can't get enough of the sophisticated taste of their Pancit Malabon so I went to their restaurant the next day. It was a bit pricey than the other pancit houses that I know, maybe because the pancit was topped with lots of shrimps, chicharon and egg. I had lunch and also found out that their pork barbecue and pichi-pichi are to die for. I recommend the pichi-pichi with cheese, as the saltiness of the cheese complements the sweetness and creaminess of coconut-cassava ball. I recommend their bestsellers like fish fillet in tartar sauce, lengua in mushroom sauce and Golden fried chicken- yum! Their menu is all made-to-order so if you want to order, you have to allow at least 1 1/ 2 hour of cooking and preparation time for delivery and 45 minutes for takeout or pick up. Altogether, their food is delicious! I'll give two thumbs up!

I discovered Amber when I was still working in Makati. On some pay days when people in the office…read morewere feeling generous, we'd chip in to order a big bilao of Pancit Malabon or Spaghetti, and dozens of pork barbecue from Amber for lunch. Those lunches were fantastic. When I resigned from that job, I also said goodbye to Amber (temporarily). I was so happy when Amber finally decided to open a branch in Las Pinas. And while I don't eat or order there as much as before (we have great cooks in the family so we rarely order pancit or spaghetti outside), I'm still a big fan of their food and service. The cost of their food is slightly higher than the average pancit and barbecue delivery stores in the area, but it's no secret that they're really delicious. The pichi-pichi is soft but not squishy. It's so good, I can finish one order (12 pieces) by myself.

The local church in my village draws a large crowd every Sunday. It should come as no surprise then…read morethat several barbecue stalls have set themselves up just outside the church to cater to the gastronomic needs of those who hear mass. Out of all the places to get barbecue none are for me, as great as Joey's barbecue. I've been going here since I was a kid. In fact, their barbecue is the standard by which I measure all other barbecues. I think I've said that before about one other barbecue, but this one is my other real standard. If a barbecue doesn't taste as well or juicy as Joey's then it's definitely below great. It may be good, but it will never be great. The best way to eat their barbecue is to get it fresh off the grill. If you're lucky then there are a few ones just fresh off, if not then I strongly recommend that you ask yours to be heated again just so you can understand what I'm talking about. Their barbecue is soft on my gums and teeth. The sauce is sweet to my nose and taste buds. When fresh off the grill, the barbecue has this sort of caramelized texture to it something I rarely see in other barbecues. They have other stuff to offer, but really it's the barbecue you want. It's about P17 each, but I often go there with a P100 bill and leave with nothing left in my pocket.

I'm not really a fan of "barbecues" but I have to admit that I like their food. My order had fries topped with pulled pork topped with a scrambled egg. On the side, the order came with toast. It looked like French Toast. It was a big piece of bread cut in half but I tasted it, it was really good. It wasn't heavy like I thought it would be. It was very light and it had the perfect toast on its edges. It went really well with the pulled pork. The serving was quite little so I felt like I wasn't as satisfied but it was good. I think that it was just right for breakfast and I didn't feel sad about what I ate. It was a well-cooked meal so I don't have any complains other than the size or the serving. The pulled pork was really good and that's probably why I really wanted to eat more.

Reyes Barbeque!!! I think that this place deserves accolade for serving really good food at really good prices.

Their Boneless Chicken Barbeque set which comes with java rice, atchara and peanut sauce is DELICIOUS aka party-in-the-mouth aka could-be-better-than-sex aka this-is-the-bomb-yo aka this-is-why-you-are-fat. Okay, no need to say more. That was already a mouthful. I know you've eaten here because you can find this fast food restaurant everywhere. And really, it doesn't matter which branch you go to, you'll still get an orgasm from eating their barbeque.

In the south, we believe that this is where it all began. As far back as my Dad can remember,…read moreMaty's was the first that sold tapa and barbecue in this area. A stall with a counter, a bench to seat customers who want to feast on their beef tapa. Today, the Maty's he has always known has one branch right across it, one more branch less than a hundred meters away, and a few more branches around the south. They continue to be popular not just for their tapa, but also for their pork barbecue. Dry, a bit flaky and dark in color, their tapa tastes just right - of salt, pepper and other simple spices and condiments. The standard meal consists of a small plate of tapa, fried rice, sunny side up egg and a cup of broth. Their barbecue also tastes very simple - no sweet, overpowering basting sauce to mask the flavor of the meat. Their barbecue's taste is so versatile (if I may use that term to describe food) that we pair it with practically anything. We even order and buy in bulk for parties at home or as food to share in gatherings.

Ask anyone who lives in BF Homes what they think is the most popular Korean restaurant here and…read morethey would probably say Sam Won. It's been around the block, or should I say avenue for some years already. It's has survived and outlived all the other restaurants that had early deaths and will continue to remain there for indefinitely. It's simple. The food is delicious, full with flavor and the prices within reason. They give a good selection of side dishes too, from the regular kimchi to other pickled vegetables. But what I like best about this restaurant are the slabs of meat you can order and grill on the in-table charcoal grill. Tips: 1. For first-timers, order the Bibimbap and pork belly. I guarantee you will love these dishes. 2. Order the fish ice cream after eating. It's fish-shaped ice cream with vanilla and beans inside.

And there's good reason why it's been around so long! It's relatively inexpensive for its quality, and probably the best you'll get in BF. Korean food is amazing, especially when it's cooked right in front of you and you're surrounded by a number of side dishes (as all Korean BBQ places would offer). We ordered a batch of mixed meats to be grilled (pork, beef, chicken), which were done on our table. And by the way, Sam Won is the only Korean place I've been to where we tried grilling chicken. It's mostly pork and beef, isn't it? Be sure to dip the meats in the sauces too, really tasty! :D
