You'll have to get off at the drop off point from across Manam and walk into a small walkway and then turn right. Our friends invited us here for lunch on a Sunday. Almost all the tables were taken. Fortunately, there is more seating on the 2nd floor. The decor with its blue and white motif transported me to Greece. We ordered shish tawouk, lamb kebab plate, mushroom soup, squash salad, Dubai brownie and tahini brownie. The servings were very generous. My shish tawouk plate had several tender pieces of chicken, eggplant salad, biryani rice, broiled tomato and some kind of salsa-like sauce. On the table were two kinds of sauces - one white (perhaps tatziki?) and one with the color of a thousand island dressing (although it is not). The latter was quite spicy. Best was to use it to dress the chicken starting with the white sauce and a tad of the spicy. Soooo good! The lamb kebab was a bit tough. The squash salad was warm and fresh. Overall, everything was authentic and delicious! I know I will crave this food as it is better than many of the Mediterranean restaurants in Los Angeles, USA. They also have such a variety of dishes to choose from - definitely want to try the other dishes in the menu. I was so hungry and excited, I forgot to take pictures of the food. Service was attentive and pleasant. Our water glasses were always filled. Love this place! Will definitely be back!

You can taste the freshness and quality of the food that they serve. There are too many different dishes to mention, I would like to suggest for you to try my favorite go to dish in Cafe Mediterranean which is the Grilled Fish Kebabs with Pita, but what's even better is having the pita changed to buttered rice for a minimal fee! Make sure to also try the spicy Garlic Yogurt sauce on your fish kebabs or any meat of your choice!

I've always been a fan of Uncle Moe's. It was love at first bite back on Malingap st. when I was…read morestill a university student. Now that I frequent BF more than QC, I find myself eternally grateful that an Uncle Moe's is also readily available near my place of work. The food is exactly the same--savory beef kebabs, my favorite hummus version (others are bland and doesn't have as smooth a texture), and pita bread. And no, I haven't forgotten the buttered rice-- I just thought it deserved special mention. They serve their rice with a slice of butter on top of it, and watching that block of fat melt into a cup of hot rice is one of the things that make life worth living. Here is where you throw caution to the wind and forget how many calories are in that one stick of butter and that you added it to what is essentially a cup of carbohydrates. Eat everything they serve with some cold tomato and onion salsa, and you'll want to weep with the simplicity of Uncle Moe's culinary genius. Of course, I never leave without ordering the ox brain, which is hard to find anywhere else and in such good condition--hot, buttery, with a hint of lemon. The ambience here is a little bit dreary though. It's definitely not as hoppin' as Uncle Moe's other branches. What I will attest to is the consistency of their food no matter which branch you visit.

Years back, my obsession with kebabs and Mediterranean food started. It actually originated from…read moreMister Kebab, some 1 hour drive from my house (with no traffic). So obviously, I had to look for another place to fulfill my cravings, somewhere at least 1 hour from my house (with traffic). I don't know who suggested it or how we found it, but I landed in Uncle Moe's one evening with a couple of my friends. At first, nothing could beat Mister Kebab in my heart, but then someone had me try their order of Kofta Balls with cheese oozing out of it, and that was it. I was hooked. From kebabs to hummus, I would try something new every time that I was there. If you're cholesterol isn't very high, you can order some ox brain, wrap it in a pita bread, pour some garlic sauce and add a few drops of chili sauce, and I swear to you, you'll win in life. Now, I only recently visited the Uncle Moe's in BF, some 30 minutes away from my home this time (with traffic). But you can just imagine how happy I was to finally have a spot near enough my house that I can eat in whenever I have those late night kebab or hummus cravings!

So, of course we had to try the cheesecake at Don Limone. What makes their cheesecake so special? My sister, the self-proclaimed expert describes it as, "it's light and smooth and has a special cream cheese flavor that makes it seem like the maker took her time in mixing it" To her, this was the real deal. To me, it tasted wonderful just like all the other things you can eat in this restaurant. Their pizzas, pastas and appetizers were all equally as good. I do think that opening a branch in Tagaytay makes the restaurant even better. Now, foodies have another reason to drive up there.

A friend from our village told me he gets his authentic shawarma cravings satisfied at a small store in the vicinity of a government high school along the Friendship Route, which we regularly pass. Being a fan of shawarma and other Middle Eastern or Mediterranean food, I don't know why I never noticed the store and hearing this from my friend, I knew I just had to try it. My friend and I ordered the special beef shawarma (the biggest).. I was surprised at how humongous the shawarma was. It was filled with beef, greens, a generous slap of hummus and cheese. I'm not too sure if this is really how it's done in Palestine or the mix is to suit Filipino taste, but it sure suited mine. Our afternoon snack was filling enough for dinner and at P80 per serving, this is definitely getting my money's worth, maybe even more!

I have never tried souvlaki before, even in my pre-vegan days (ashamed!), so this means only one thing. I dragged a few friends with me all the way from Makati to BF Homes just so we could try this place out. It's a charming and quaint place with beautiful, mediterranean-themed decor. I mean, anything mediterranean is beautiful to me! I think you can tell the difference between a good falafel/souvlaki/mediterranean sandwich wrap thing and wannabe local versions by the sauce they use. Good places use actual tahini sauce (sesame-based sauce), while those you see in food markets, kiosks, and the like use this garlic cream sauce thing (that Pinoys loooove and swear by - not me though) similar to what cheap shawarma places use. Anyway, I was really pleased to know that they use tahini for the vegan falafel souvlaki. Inside it are elongated pieces of falafel and veggies. It was a satisfying meal nonetheless, and if you're bringing friends, their dip platter is EXCELLENT! Baba ganoush, hummus, olives and tzatziki (tzatziki is not vegan though, has yogurt) served with pita bread.

There are so many more options for eating out and we no longer have to brave the traffic heading to Makati, Ortigas, or even Quezon City. Once such occasion was when friends had the itch to eat good Greek food, so we headed to Aguirre Avenue and made our way to Ble. There were three of us so we felt it was perfect that they have a dip platter and we can try a bit of all their appetizers. It had Grecian favorites like babaganush, tzatziki, popular hummus, and a few pieces or olives, along with slices of pita bread. I then had their gemista - bell peppers stuffed with rice and bits of wagyu, then baked to perfection. I liked that it wasn't overwhelming and not too filling, mainly because I wanted to save room for dessert. Finally, the time for dessert came, and we each took a slice of baklava. Oh it was heavenly. They take pride in the 50 layers of handmade fyllo pastry, pistachios and syrup that altogether makes one hel of a dessert. It's a fantastic way to end a meal. These days, not so many people say "oh you're from Las Piñas? Where is that? Is it far?" Thanks to little restaurants like Ble that make the southern star on the map shine brighter.
