Fiesta! That's the word my sisters use to call this restaurant, or the word they use to remember…read morethis restaurant by... We arrived here famished and really raring to eat. But my sisters were debating on which group meal to order (from a choice of about 4 groups). Since I was really hungry, and I couldn't stand my sisters' indecisiveness, I called the waiter and ordered 3 of the 4 group meals! There was not enough space on the table to fit all of the food we ordered. And when the last of the food was delivered to our already full table, the waiter told us, "Happy Fiesta!". From that time forward, my sisters, when I visit Manila, make sure I never get my hands on a menu... The service is impeccable! From start to finish, the waiters are always attentive to your needs. They explain the menu items and the way it is prepared...even if you have them repeat it a few times. It does not take long to place the order, to the time it arrives on your table. And the taste is just like homemade cooking...just like grandma cooked for us! The price is a steal, especially the group meals that serve from 4 to 6 people. I just love the place. My compliments to the staff, the cooks and the establishment for maintaining the quality and standards of the place!

Gerry's Grill is one of those places where you don't even have to look at the menu to know what to…read moreorder; you just know it by heart. To start your meal with a kick, you order the Chili Cheese Sticks for appetizer; you know that their crab rice goes well with almost every grilled dish on the menu (the liempo is the obvious choice, but take the tuna belly if you're health conscious), even more with the Garlic Adobo Shreds (my favorite!). And no Gerry's Grill lunch or dinner (or drinking session) is ever complete without their famous Sizzling Sisig (the tuna version is good too!). Pinoys are so at home with Gerry's Grill that even with new restaurants popping up in the metro, it remains as one of the places that people love going to, whether it's to have lunch with the family, or share a few drinks with friends.

Denizens of Better Living in Bicutan, Paranaque City consider Seig's as the go-to place for special…read moreoccasions. Me and my family go to Seig's whenever we feel like having excellent food, be it Filipino or continental. We normally go two to three times a year, mostly when someone is celebrating his or her birthday. It's owned by an Indian national who is frequently there to make sure that the staff are treating the guests well, but he does not usually interact with customers. They have one separate function room that can fit up to 20 people. There's also a separate bar area where smokers can do their thing. The place also has a KTV section in the second floor, but I've never been there. Not too long ago, the owner of Seig's had the bright idea of opening a take out section that sells pan de sal along with pancit. This is a perfect combination, either for breakfast or midday or mid-afternoon snacks. There's only space for no more than four cars in front of the restaurant. The place is on the old side and needs a bit of an upgrade, but the clientele keep on coming. The principal attraction is the food. Seig's is quite possibly the best sit-down restaurant in the Bicutan area, and I look forward to my next visit. I don't claim to be a gourmet, but I give the food five stars. I do wish that the owners would upgrade the interior, but this would necessarily mean closing the place down for a few weeks. Regular clients will not hear of this, or course.

I live 2 minutes away from Sieg's. Although I go here just to get one thing, I go here very often…read moreas it's my quick go-to place for a lazy dinner. They have a very extensive menu, but since I'm vegan, that isn't of any advantage to me when they only offer a few veggie dishes that are veganize-able. As mentioned, I only get one thing here, and it's worth writing about. Sieg's sizzling tofu is very tasty (it has MUSHROOMS too! Which are always a GOOD thing unless you're weird) and can serve two for about Php 180. For this dish to be vegan, you'd have to give them specific instructions, which are to remove the worcestershire sauce or oyster sauce and replace it with soy sauce, no mayo, no butter, and no chicken powder. Whew. I also find it funny how local TV is projected on a huge white projector screen in one corner of the restaurant, and being a family restaurant, I guess they're trying to recreate a typical dinner at home with TV Patrol or a teleserye on.

The place gets crowded at a certain time but they give you a table right away. It was an afternoon merienda so we ordered the lugaw toppings and pancit molo. We also ordered Shooters. The lugaw and pancit are just about right for one person. The shooters give you 3 small glasses of mais con yelo, halo-halo, and guinomis. The lugaw has a good blend of pork kilawen, tofu, salted eggs, and fried wanton. The pancit has several portions of shrimp. The meal was just about right after a tiring day of walking around the mall. The shooters gives you a chance to sample their cold drinks. The service was excellent.

From what I remember, we got some drinks, including some ube shakes with sago, some wine. Food-wise, we got the pancit palabok, crispy patis wings, lumpia, the overloaded garlicky chicken and adobo pork belly, sisig, the watermelon sinigang and I can't remember what else. Anyhow, the watermelon sinigang was excellent. And when the pancit palabok came out, they actually poured the sauce onto the noodles and it felt like I was watching a cooking show with a finale! When I come back to the Philippines, I will for sure come back here for everything! :)

I had no idea about Kapampanggan cuisine and didn't even want to consider it among my buffet choices. I wish I had been a little more adventurous earlier in life, I wouldn't have missed out on the many great things about Cabalen if I had. Simply put, they are an affordable buffet restaurant offering purely Filipino dishes. While they do not have the outrageous food spread you'd find in other buffet restaurants in Manila, they do have very select dishes that are of really good quality. And in the world of food, quality will trump quantity every time. What's unique about them is that they continuously cook by batches. So, when you come in and there's kaldereta, sinigang, crispy crablets, kare-kare, dinuguan or whatever other Filipino favorite there is, the spread may be totally different an hour or two from when you start eating. They often replace dishes that have run out with new selections. While it may seem that the dozen or so viands on display are only a few, in reality there really is more than that, they are just not laid out all together. What is consistently on display are their made-to-order sisig hotplates. I highly recommend the tofu sisig and the bangus sisig -- both are pretty unique as a sisig dishes. Their dessert buffets are also pretty consistent so you are sure to get halo-halo after your meal (in addition to other available Pinoy desserts like palitao or saba con yelo). One more thing I love about Cabalen is the overall ambiance of the place. The old wooden chairs, the bright lights, the way the dishes are laid out in giant kawa or in platters lined with banana leaves -- it always feels like you're in the province enjoying fiesta with your family.
