We got the peach…read moremango smoothie and the blue lemonade carafe for refreshments, then ordered the bruschetta, spicy Korean wings, pork longannisa, and greens with garlic dressing. Everything tasted great, and we enjoyed our meals! Service was pleasant, as a security guard greeted and even opened the doors for us. The staff seated us and took our orders immediately despite how busy the restaurant was. They even wrapped our leftovers in foil for us :) The appetizers took a while to arrive, but we didn't mind as there is plenty of AC while waiting. The actual entrees came relatively quickly. For payment, they accept credit cards I couldn't give 5 stars due to the sunny side-up egg having a layer of raw egg white (the egg came with the pork longannisa breakfast), and because the dressing on the salad was so thick and felt slightly congealed(?) Aside from the raw egg mishap, it was an overall nice experience!

Little bit of a wait because they cook it up fresh so it's piping hot. Delish soft bun, breading of the patty was nice and crunchy, fresh cucumber and lettuce with tartar sauce. Minus points for not having a bathroom nor a hand washing station.

5 stars for the mango Bingsu. Wish there were more mango. Will try other stuff on their menu.read more

DINE IN DURING PANDEMIC…read more One way in, one way out, mask/face shield/temp/alcohol hand wash/questionnaire mandatory when walk in. Most patrons and workers wore only masks. Staff are friendly and shout greetings as you enter. They're hardworking, efficient and you can ask any one of them for assistance. You order at the counter then they bring the food to your table. Many menu items are not available, so ask before ordering to prevent disappointment. After ordering we chose to sit at the table furthest away and most isolated from the others. There was a screen and a fan facing away from us: hubby said it was to blow the Covid germs the other direction HAHA! They have a nice, spacious dining area with comfortable seating both inside and outside. We ordered the sausage breakfast. The "toast" was very pale, next time I'll have to tell them "well done". Other than the toast, breakfast here is always a solid choice. Because of the pandemic we rarely go out, so to celebrate we had the Tiramisu Macaron and Affogato for dessert. The ice cream in the Affogato was too sweet for me to eat by itself; but it balanced perfectly when paired with the bitterness of the coffee, not bad. The macaron, on the other hand, was meh. I'm sure it would have tasted much better fresh from the bakery; but the macaron was already stale. I'm sure we'll be back when we're in the area. For more details about this place please read my previous review below.

Great Korean Food with a View at Smoki Moto…read more Tried Smoki Moto on the 17th floor of Marriott Clark and was pleasantly surprised. The place has a nice vibe, modern, classy, with a great view of Clark. It's quiet enough for a good conversation but still feels lively. Service was excellent from start to finish. We ordered the bibimbap, short ribs, beef with enoki mushrooms, and prawns. everything was delicious. They give complimentary salad too. Flavors were clean, well-balanced, and portions were generous. Booking through Booking.com gave us a 30% discount, which made the meal even better value. That kind of deal for this kind of food and setting is rare. Would definitely go back, especially for a dinner with a view or if you're craving good Korean food in the area.

Recently I've stumbled upon a number of restaurants, located in hotels, hidden away from the main…read moreroads. We strolled over to this location and I was impressed at how wide the roads were, and how clean and quiet the neighborhood was. Place feels new: it's open, airy and clean. Smooth jazz was playing in the background and they had free WiFi. There are many options for indoor and outdoor seating: we decided to settle down by the pool where is was cool, breezy, and surrounded by palm trees. They do have a rooftop bar but it didn't open until 2pm, so we just went up after breakfast to take in the view and take pictures. Masked staff are friendly and were helpful in answering our questions. WE ORDERED - Strawberry Yogurt Smoothie was tasty - Sourdough bread (1/2 loaf) - baked fresh so they warn you it'll take 30 minutes to prepare. They allow it to cool and slice it, so by the time it gets to you it's barely warm. Didn't look nor taste like sourdough. It was crusty on the outside and soft on the inside, it was decent. I did appreciate that they served it with real butter. - Onion soup served with "croutons" and Gruyere cheese. Looks and tastes like a French onion soup with some type of wine cooked into it. It was too sweet for me, so I really couldn't appreciate the flavor of the caramelized onions. - Pancakes sprinkled with powdered sugar and served with real butter and syrup. I liked the flavor, but they were on the dense side. I prefer my pancakes light and fluffy. - Filipino breakfast - garlic rice is delish with bits of fried garlic on top, 2 pork longganisa that was too sweet for my liking and one egg. Next time I'll try a different protein. Would I come back? Sure, I'd give them another try. TIP: Located inside the La Grande residence, look for the green and yellow building on the corner. Management responds quickly to text messages (Smart)

It's next to their pool which has actual sand at the shallow end. The fully loaded (TP, soap, spray bidet and hand towels) bathrooms are close by as well. Staff are friendly and helpful. There was only one other person here besides me, and it looked like she was on her laptop doing work; this an excellent spot to get that done because it's nice, quiet, and empty! I should have looked at the menu BEFORE I came here: talk about overpriced SHEESH! I was able to order a few things ala carte that fit into my budget. ORDERED - Brewed coffee was strong and served with steamed milk, nice touch. They couldn't tell me where it was sourced. - Hash brown was nice and crispy on the outside. Looks and tastes like the kind you buy in bulk in the frozen food section of a grocery store. - Bacon - I asked for it "crispy" but it came to me hard. With their high price range and mediocre food, I wouldn't come back to eat; but I would come back for coffee and their free WiFi.

When we're commuting, I'm always looking out the window searching for new places to try. When I saw…read moreCafe Jungle, I was curious to see how they carried out the theme. The place is big with both indoor and outdoor seating that's good for large groups. Aircon is strong and seating is comfortable. Hubby describes the music as "lounge music". When you're inside, you're surrounding by plastic plants, plastic trees and plastic vines. If you want real greenery, you'll want to sit outside. WE ORDERED: - Hazelnut Frappe made with real coffee (I can feel the caffeine buzz) YUM! - Lemon Jungle salad (with chicken) a refreshing salad but the chicken was overcooked and dry. - Tokwa't Baboy - pork was overcooked and chewy. - Chocolate overload cake was dense and not too sweet. I'm not a fan of overly sweet desserts; but this could use a little bit more sugar. 3 stars for a decent place to chill and have coffee. By the way, they also have a small stage, so you can host an event here. FYI - in the same plaza as Enoc gas station near Baliti Road

DINE-IN DURING COVID…read more Masks mandatory, alcohol available by the door to sanitize your hands. Outside dining available. Indoor tables space out with plastic barriers between diners. You can request the barrier taken down between you and your companion. They have the cheapest breakfast around town: 2 sausage patties P65, grits P65, Puzzles breakfast P95. My favorite breakfast is their (smoked) salmon and cream cheese on a toasted bagel, paired with their iced coffee (mocha). Servers are friendly and helpful. Free WiFi, strong aircon and bathroom available. You'll find many expats here, they know where good food can be found.
