And now, it seems the menu has expanded greatly! I was with family, so I ordered a "group meal". The nice thing about restaurants in the Philippines is the availability of group meals on the menu, where you order a set of items available for a cheaper price, than if you ordered these items one at a time. It came with pizza, pasta, drinks, garlic bread and chicken! And all the food tasted great! No complaints there... Filipino service is always above board. Always smiling and ever attentive to your needs. The familiar "Ma'am-Sir" greets you all the time. You can never complain about service when you are in the Philippines. The Filipinos aim to serve, and serve you well they do! Try Shakey's. It's highly recommended...

The food here is authentic Italian. Their brick-oven pizzas are delicious. They have many…read moredelicious pasta dishes but they recently removed my favorite: fusilli fantastico. They've added a few new items to the menu but they have absolutely no appeal. My second favorite pasta dish is the primavera which is prepared with a generous amount of garlic and olive oil. Service is very good. The wait staff who know me always remember how I prefer things and so I'm very well taken care of. The one caution I have is to avoid anything that is deep-fried. It seems they never change the oil in the fryer and everything I've ordered, such as the chicken tenders and mozzarella fritto, have been inedible because of the rancid taste.

I believe that the Amici at the Bellagio Square along Tomas Morato was the first expansion location…read moreof the original and popular Makati pizzeria run by Don Bosco priests. I gladly welcomed this location with open arms since this meant that I did not have to go to all the way to Makati to enjoy Amici food. Please spare me the whole "it was so much better back when it was only at Don Bosco" story that sounds oh too similar to the "back when Cubao-X was so much better" comments that's beaten so many dead horses, enough to make my eyes roll countless times. To me, the expansion was a great idea. Many of my Quezon City friends who never find themselves in Makati can finally enjoy Amici food. Amici has changed over the years. Servers make table rounds and take orders from there now, instead of the old cafeteria style system. The prices have increased, but are still of great value, in my opinion. The spinach lasagna hasn't changed though. I still order it each time I visit, and it still gives me the same satisfaction.

As soon as I entered the restaurant, the whole staff greeted us and there was an available table for us right away. They also have function rooms with videoke so they can accommodate large groups. The staff was accommodating and provided excellent and fast service. If you don't want to go to the market, the staff can buy different seafoods for you. The restaurant is clean and the place is not crowded.

I had no idea when it really started, but at some point people started to believe that fresh…read moreorganic food was the healthiest option out there. There seems to be this misapprehension that any piece of meat or vegetable that has chemicals in it or was raised using them would be toxic for their soul. That artificially grown or GMO animals and vegetables were the offspring off the devil and these were taken straight from hell. I always thought that people who ate at Zigla! thought this way. They proudly advertise that their food is Fresh, Healthy & Organic. They try to draw in the crowd that's very health conscious. The type of people who probably wear shirts made out of recycled paper and shorts made of leaves. The price is a bit high, but all jokes aside the food is good. The serving size is good enough considering the price I had to pay. It was enough to fill my stomach and satisfy my taste buds.

Organic is good, but I need vegan-friendly…read more Aside from the juices, the only vegan-friendly options in Zigla's menu are the tomato-pepper soup and the sweet chili tofu meal. You can also throw in the Greek salad if you ask for the white cheese to be omitted. I tried the sweet chili tofu with brown rice meal. Given the state of my hunger at the time, I would have gulped down four bowls of the tomato-pepper soup and all the other customers would still magically look like food on legs to me. Cons: - It took over 5 minutes to prepare. - It was reheated and served in a standard-issue covered plastic tray that also came with reheating instructions. - At PhP165, I'd expect a tofu-centered meal to either be a) presented better, b) cooked on-site, or c) served promptly. - Misleading name: sweet chili sauce was just sweet, no chili. Pros: - Serving size is good enough for one person. - The tofu portion was surprisingly hearty. - The meal itself was tasty enough to be satisfying. - It's filling. - If you couldn't finish the meal, the covered box it comes in makes it convenient to take home. - You can reuse the covered plastic box. - Meals are good for kids, - Service is fairly cordial, if a little forced. Generally, Zigla's price range is a bit steep for food court fare. Even if the ingredients are healthful and organic, the prices are likely to turn off younger customers who are interested in exploring health food options on a limited budget. Also, despite the fresh and organic plant-based ingredients, their menu largely caters to omnivores, with only few options for vegetarians and vegans alike. The flavors are there, though. So despite the limited vegan-friendly options, I'd still return because I'm a girl who thinks with her stomach.

The staff was friendly and the place was very clean, which I always appreciate. Only downside: it was tough to find.

They have a Mongolian style serving where you choose your options for protein, veggies and sauces at 499 pesos roughly converted to $9. We did the ala carte. I ordered the fresh lumpia - sweet potatoes, carrots, green beans and jicama in a homemade wrapped. Topped with lettuce. Served with garlicky soy sauced. A favorited filipino dish which brings me back to my childhood days when my mother used to serve this dish in her restaurant. I also ordered pork& chicken adobo, a staple dish, came with garlic fried rice and cucumber&tomatoes on the side. Very tasty and very filling. I was very satisfied with my order. of course, my favorite dessert is sans rival and they have one of the best. As seen in my only photo, this is the highlight of my meal, lol.... wafer texture perfect, did not get soggy in all that whipped butter. Sprinkled with just the right amount of peanuts too as some sans rival can really be overcoated with nuts. Even the butter is not overwhelming. They do have other cakes, cheese un and rolls to choose from. Just so happen my thing is Sans Rival. :) My partner liked this restaurant as well and he's a tough fella to impress. It is located on the 3rd floor of the Heamady Bldg. Parking's in the basement and a bit hard to maneuver in those tight slots. Just be prepared. Overall, I'd go back to this place, given the chance.

I think it is normal for most people to have some sort of a dual perspective when it comes to…read moreenjoying food. There is this one part that is all for being adventurous - weird cuisines, funky finds and the most outrageous combinations of flavors, textures and preparations. However, there will always be this part that will crave for the food that is familiar, hearty and nostalgic - for food that is typically served during gatherings at home. I find that Kanin Club's fare is consistent with the second type. There is nothing special and outrageous about the food in Kanin Club. No frills, no fuss, no BS. And that's what makes it lovely in my book. When you want simple, unpretentious and satisfying food that doesn't require such buzzwords as "artisanal", "fusion" or "gourmet", Kanin Club is a place to go. I find that this is one of those restaurants that won't embarrass you if you bring a foreign friend or guest. The food is presentable enough, but what makes it great is the way the dishes were made and seasoned. It tastes almost as if my Lola or my mom would make it.

Kanin Club is a big hit because let's admit it, one can never go wrong with serving kanin (rice) to…read morea Pinoy. Our country's love affair with rice is evidenced by the fact we have more than one word for it in the Filipino language (e.g. palay, bigas, kanin, sinangag, bahaw). If you're on a low carb diet, then I implore you not to visit Kanin Club. It'll be better to just stay away, unless of course you want to cheat for one day. For me, it's a bit of a challenge to order food here because when you're with a big group, most people want to sample the unique rice dishes (must try: Sinangag na Sinigang and Tinapa Rice), yet at the same time, pair the "kanin" with more than one "ulam" (main dish). Their menu has so many choices, and cool descriptions that will help first timers make informed decisions. Most dishes are good for sharing, so I suggest you go there with a group. The price range is above the usual budget of an unemployed student. I think people go to Kanin Club on special occasions, or when they want to give a nice treat to "balikbayans" or foreigners. The interior design of the restaurant is executed nicely. They invested on paintings by local artists and Filipino themed decor as well. Kanin Club serves everyday local dishes (tinola, sinigang, kare-kare) with style and sophistication. Can't wait for one of my relatives to celebrate their birthday/anniversary/whatever. That way, we'll have an excuse to ask them (nicely) to treat us at this lovely restaurant again. Sidenote: dog owners can take their dogs with them to eat, but they'll have to dine on the outdoor tables. This is one of the perks of eating at UP-Ayala Technohub.
