The Maple Burger PhP 475

A juicy grilled patty, American cheese, lettuce, pickles, tomatoes, fried onion rings and maple glazed bacon

I will start with The Maple Burger, the patty was juicy. The melted cheese on top kept the burger compact even after slicing it into four for sharing ; p I noticed that the bun was small for its burger though. The bacon was cooked just the way I like it. How I wish there were several more onion rings on the side and not just three. After all, I am paying PhP 475 for this meal alone.

And, uh, I think the country fries do not belong with this order but in The Big Maple Breakfast ; p I don't know why it was served together with The Maple Burger. I just noticed it while writing this entry.

For other dishes on our table, read after the break...

Happy Monday everyone!

I just want to share with you an outfit post. I know, right? It has been awhile. After feeling fat and horrible from what I ate last holiday, I finally have the guts to take some photos hahaha

Chorizo and Mushroom Risotto PhP 465

Anyway, before I show you my OOTD, let me share with you what I ate during the launching of United Colors of Benetton Body Mists collection. As I wrote in my previous entry, the venue was at Early Bird Breakfast Club where you can have breakfast all day, everyday of the week! I was at Fort Pointe 2 twice in one week! First for Samsung Galaxy SIII and then for UCB ; p

Chorizo and Mushroom Risotto

Spanish chorizo and fresh mushroom risotto with Parmigiano Reggiano

First, I commend this restaurant for its food presentation. Tara of Chronicles of Vanity and I shared all dishes that are featured here. The picture you see above was actually just half of the dish but look at how it was presented, di ba? It was so nice pa din ; )

I thought that since we were splitting this dish into two, we would each have a few quantity of Spanish chorizo but on the contrary, I think there were five or more chorizos on my plate alone. The restaurant doesn't scrimp on its ingredients. I especially liked the Parmesan Cheese on top ; ) Eat this dish while it's warm. 

More dishes after the break + OOTD ; p

After gracing the launching of Estee Lauder's Breast Cancer Awareness campaign, my blogger friends and I dined at 2nd's Comfort Food Revisited. It was Shen who suggested the restaurant. I went along as long the establishment accepts credit card hahaha You see,  I only bring a few pesos when I go out. An old habit I carry with me until now. I know, bummer, right? I should kick that habit!

New find: Gamja!Gamja! Garlic Potato

While shopping around Robinsons Galleria over a month ago, one of my siblings discovered this new stall in the fast food area called Gamja! Gamja! It sells glazed potato cubes with grated carrots and sesame seeds on top.

Better Pizza at Papa John's Pizza Tomas Morato

My visit: July 30, 2011

Papa John's Pizza

Tomas Morato cor. Scout Rallos St.,

Laging Handa, Quezon City

The day before we left for our trip to Hong Kong, we had an early dinner at the newly opened Papa John's Pizza in Quezon City. The place is still filled with balloons from the store opening and is bustling with diners when we entered the restaurant. A server was able to find us a spot by the window. Perusing the menu, I found different flavors of pizzas, pastas and other side items. 

Hawaiian Jr. Papa 6" pizza PhP150

DH hates me because I am always predictable when I eat. I almost always order the same thing when it comes to pizza. Even though my stomach and pineapple don't seem to see eye to eye, when it comes to pizza, I love ordering Hawaiian. This 6" pizza has 4 slices with toppings like ham, pineapple and loads of mozzarella cheese. Served hot and truly satisfying! No acid reflux after.

Available in 9 inch small PhP300, 12 inch medium PhP430 and 14 inch large PhP530.

First bite in Sango Rockwell

My visit: June 17, 2011

Sango Rockwell

The Burger Master

Unit 103H  R1 Power Plant Mall

Rockwell

Once in awhile, DH and I have a date night where in we dine out and then watch a movie after. This is one of those nights. After getting a movie ticket, I think it was for Super 8, we searched for a place to eat. DH would usually suggest Oliver's Sandwiches if we are out of time but we have plenty of time on our hands that night. 

I saw a huge tarpaulin banners at the center of Power Plant mall advertising Sango Burgers. We were a bit lost because the ad says that the location of Sango Burger was in Lower Ground Floor. We searched the whole floor and back. We were getting irritated because we couldn't find the restaurant. Thank God for security guards who directed us to the place. It turned out that it is located outside just beside Starbucks. 

okonomi hotdog PhP155

The okonomi hotdog shown in the photo is just half of the order. I have made the mistake of telling the waitress to sliced both of our orders in half. When presented to us, our orders were separated already in different wrappers. It looks kind of small in the photo but it was very filling nonetheless.

Okonomiyaki is a Japanese pancake/pizza consists of different ingredients. Okonomi means what you like/ want. Yaki means grilled/ cooked.

The hotdog contains lettuce, onions and dancing fish flakes also known as katsuobushi.

Razon's of Guagua

My visit: March 18, 2011

Razon's Of Guagua

One Kennedy Place Inc.

Club Filipino Ave.,

cor Ortigas, Greenhills,

San Juan 7268727

OMG After eating numerous times in this restaurant, I can't believe that I have not written a single post about Razon's. I checked and double checked under my label and found nothing. When CML and I went looking for a merienda place, I suggested to dine here. It was a simple dining place with a few parking slots. I suggest that you park in Greenhills Shopping Center and just walk across it when the parking is full. 

Razon's halo-halo PhP90

A trip to Razon's is never complete without ordering its famous, halo- halo! If you are used to eating 10-12 ingredients in a halo- halo then this is not the right place to go to. Razon's has only 3 main ingredients- saba, macapuno and leche flan. It's not what we locals are used to but it tastes really good and sweet haha The shaved ice and milk make up for it's version of halo- halo which I find very creamy- a plus factor! And yeah, I can finish one tall order lol

Cook your own: fries

DIY fries bought in the office 

Since I am fond of fries right now, I cook my own, ok, I taught my house help how to slice and deep fry potatoes. I was not able to get the desired crispiness though. My fries looked a bit soggy even though I tissue off the grease. It didn't help even if I put it inside the oven toaster  for 10 minutes when I got to the office. 

I wonder how many minutes would it take for the fries to cook and at what temperature? Can anybody help?
