    The only answer to a gloomy day is Lugaw With Pork Bagnet and Tokwa. We braved the rain just to have the most delicious congee ever. Ordering was quite a breeze as you need to pay at the counter where the menu is clearly displayed. The price may appear steep for some, and the wait time may take up to 15 minutes. But trust me, you would forget everything once the food is served on your table--al fresco. The outlet is good for groups, so solo diners may need to plan their visit during off-peak hours. If it gets full house, you could request to set up your table on the street once the Primo de Rivera gate closes at 10:00pm and, of course, if the weather cooperates. I'll definitely go back soon with a bigger group, and hope they all could accommodate my horde.

    When I'm feeling down, there are certain foods that I look for to make me feel better. Now that it's the rainy season, I've been craving for comfort food even more. I just need something to warm me up inside and make the cuddle weather more bearable. Goto Monster is one of my go-to comfort food places. :) I found out about this place because it is quite near Carlo's home in Makati. There was one night where I just needed a bowl of arroz caldo; it was 230AM. So, instead of going to the other 24 hour places, Carlo recommended we head to Goto Monster. Yes, it is open 24 hours. If it's your first time to eat here, order the Goto Special. It has salted egg, meat, and tinapa flakes! Served warm and with all the fixings, it really hits the spot. I always order the Bagnet Special. Crunchy Pork with soupy rice is just a perfect combo for me. Also, other than the Goto, they serve different "silog" dishes. A specialty that I have yet to try is the Bibingka Waffle. It is always unavailable when I go! Oh, please do try the Talong Chips and also the Salabat drink. :)

    I'm not really a goto eater, but this place has changed my mind! Awesome place that puts an interesting twist on an old favorite! Bagnet and chicken skin in your lugaw? Why not!

    New menu.

    One of the hipster carinderias in NoMa, that's North of Makati, Goto Monster offers authentically delicious goto (tripe porridge) for the emerging middle class market. If you're feeling up for a challenge, try their Goto Monster Challenge - a huge gargantuan bowl of thick goto porridge that you have to finish in an hour. If you finish it, it's free. If you don't, you pay 750bucks! Aside from regular goto, other gourmet porridge toppings are available, like bagnet, wild mushroom, and the special - a combination of different toppings. I like hanging out here, sometimes alone just to have a quick, quiet meal after work, or with a friend for a chat.

    I had breakfast at Goto Monster today. The food was delicious and the staff was very friendly. If you enjoy eating food as the locals do it.. This is an authentic spot to with a good variety of choices. It is open 24 hours a day. It's very small walk up and order store front with two tables right off a busy main road with a lot of cars and foot traffic which is exactly the atmosphere I enjoy when trying local food.. I chose chicken adobe, it was tender and delicious! Please give them a try! You won't regret it Note: If you are a first time traveler to PH or any other country you should never drink tap water or purchase iced drinks.

    This is one of those places where you get more bang for your buck. The reinvention of everyday food and drinks is what makes this place amazing. I had bagetsilog which is your usual silog variety and i like that my plate isn't glistening with grease - which was to be expected. The mustasa side salad perfectly complement the sinangag and bagnet. I had champorado special for dessert - this isn't your typical boiled rice with tablea thingy but it mimics the champorado with condensed milk and tuyo. This version is a chocolate waffle, topped with vanilla ice cream, drizzled with melted chocolate, sprinkled with rice crispies and dilis on the side to balance out the umay factor. I would say that this is an ultimate hole-in-the-wall! They are open 24 hours making it the a great after hours pitstop.

    Just had the most perfect lazy morning breakfast at George and Onnie's (or Little Flour, whatever…read morethey're calling it now) and I'm still thinking about it hours later. Walked in around 7:30 before the mall got crazy, and the place was chill with that cozy café smell hitting you right away--fresh coffee and baked goods. Ordered the longsilog and wow, the longganisa patty was juicy and garlicky without being too greasy, paired with perfectly sunny-side-up eggs and garlic rice that was spot-on crispy. The atchara on the side cut through everything so nicely. Grabbed their signature ube pandesal French toast on the side because why not, and it was ridiculous--soft, custardy inside with that sweet ube glaze that wasn't overpowering. Coffee was strong and hot, just how I like it. Server was super attentive without hovering, refilled my water before I even asked. For the price, it felt like a steal compared to other spots in the area. Everything tasted fresh and made with care. 100% coming back tomorrow before my flight. If you're anywhere near Newport, don't sleep on this place.

    Opens at 6 AM for breakfast, and has a buffet-style presentation…read more Breakfast is free if you are a guest of the Amelie Hotel, where Braska is contained within, but they also welcome diners in off the street, which is how I got there. If you are not a hotel guest, then the breakfast is 399 PHP, no extra charges above that. That's of as of this date; and also, as of this date and the current exchange rates for USD/PHP, that means the price of the buffet breakfast is under $8 USD. Eggs are cooked to order, but not consistently correctly, but, you know, this happens in the Philippines. Coffee is good - not always a given here, as what you get in many places is basically just a cup of hot brown water when you order coffee. Lot of great Filipino favorites in the buffet, like tocino, garlic rice, hot dogs (yes, for breakfast, big favorite in the Philippines), many different kinds of fruit, vegetables, etc. No cereal offered. The aforementioned coffee, and tea, and fresh-squeezed pineapple juice and orange juice are proffered as drinks. The fresh-squeezed pineapple juice is heavenly and will make you feel better about life in general. My voracity was of huge proportions as I had just come off a 23-hour flight from the States, and man, did I go after it hard here - three eggs, tocino, watermelon, cantaloupe, garlic rice, pineapple juice, several cups of coffee, and a cinnamon pastry. Service is very attentive without being overbearing, and quite prompt. Very nice dining room with views out onto the street, and, somewhat astoundingly, considering what year it is and the location, a steady stream of Miles Davis in my ears offered a great aural background to my leisurely sojourn there. I left feeling fat and happy, with a new attitude, and plenty of fuel for the fire within that day.

It's good for brunch, lunch, coffee, or just a casual dinner. It's very clean and has a relaxed vibe. Love the decor. Feels like nature. Love the tree right in the middle by the door but it's not real. Great place to dine with family, friends or solo. Stopped in early and it wasn't busy at all. Only one other table. Staff were friendly. The restaurant emphasizes organic ingredients, healthy & comfort food. I ordered the Garden Omelette with roasted potatoes. The garden omelette included eggs, cherry tomatoes, shiitake mushrooms, kale, spinach, fresh parsley, sauteed garlic and onions. Everything was so fresh and it was definitely quality. Loved their house made ketchup. It was so good. I also tried the halo halo and it was so good. Really good size too.

The food was okay, we had truffle fries, pork chop and this pasta which is cream based and we had a salad and calamari for appetizer then we had a carrot cake for dessert! Overall it was okay and the service was slow but I would give them 4 starts bec of their dog policy! Every restaurant should adapt this as long as the dog is in diapers and well behaved.
