New Find: Burger Bar in Greenbelt 2

January 14, 2013

Burger Bar
2nd Fl. Greenbelt 2
Ayala Center, Makati

A friend invited me over to try out the newest burger in town- Burger Bar. In this restaurant, you can be The Boss because you can actually choose everything that goes in your burger, yes, even the bun!

The Hangover Burger (single patty) PhP 285

Onion griddles double patty Big Game Blend of hanger and brisket, yellow cheddar, crisp proscuitto, fried egg, arugula, caramelized onions, BBQ sauce & house aiola all on a sesame bun

Since all four of us are first-timers, we decided to give Burger Bar's hand-crafted, freshly ground on-site, custom blended patties a try. These are 100% pure beef and are seared only upon order.

The Hangover Burger was actually served last but it's sooo good that I am making it this post's primary photo. It doesn't hurt that it looks good too ; p

To taste a little bit of everything, each burger, except for The Lamb Burger, were divided into four. Imagine our fear of splitting the burger into four when The Hangover was served to us. At one point, we all thought that the egg yolk will spill over but it did not. We were all able to eat our fair share of the burger ; )

The Hangover is also available in double patties for PhP370. 

Sunday Affair at Cafe Breton

Cafe Breton
Scout De Guia cor. Tomas Morato Ave.,

These past few weeks, I have been sickly therefore I was not in the mood to go even to the nearest mall, Robinsons Magnolia ; (

To cheer me up, my family and I went to a happy place, Cafe Breton. For two consecutive Sundays, we were there in the afternoon having our favorite crepe and coffee!

Original Sin PhP 260

During our first visit, I ordered Original Sin - stewed apples, caramel ice cream, caramel syrup, walnuts and whipped cream. Yes, it's truly a sinful dessert!

On our second visit, I saw Normandie under Dessert Crepes. It is Original Sin minus walnuts, it cost PhP 232 only. Other variety of stewed apple crepes are Adam & Eve (PhP 148), Eden (PhP155) and Lost Paradise (PhP185).

Adam & Eve - stewed apples with cinnamon & vanilla ice cream
Eden - stewed apples with cinnamon & fresh cream, topped with whipped cream
Lost Paradise - stewed apples with cinnamon, vanilla ice cream, raisins  marinated in rum

Read the rest of what we ordered after the break....

Family Bonding in Bag of Beans Tagaytay

My visit: October 31, 2011

Bag of Beans
General Emilio Aguinaldo Highway
Mendez Crossing
West, Tagaytay City
046- 4134356

I have been to Bag of Beans on numerous occasions. Clearly, it seems that whenever my family goes to Tagaytay, a trip to this quaint coffee shop & bakery is a must. Last October 31 is no different, my family and relatives all met up there for an afternoon snack after visiting the grave of my grandparents.

Blueberry pancake PhP195

I only took photos of the food and drinks that we have ordered. Shown above was a blueberry pancake ordered by DH. He loves blueberries. It comes with 2 slices of orange. See the melted butter on top? It's hot, hot, hot!
