7 Flavors is the buffet restaurant that is partnered by the famed chef Boy Logro. It's main concept…read moreis to have the 7 flavors of the palette presented in its dishes. With a separate cafe/bakery and buffet restaurant, we chose to check out their buffet. On weekday lunch, its just P399/head and P499 for dinner. We tried the lunch buffet and no food stands out. All their food items are all over the place. They have sisig, kare kare, spicy salmon head, chicken teriyaki, stuffed tofu, baked seafood, buffalo chicken wings, and roast chicken for their mains. It was really disappointing, especially, we know, for a fact, that chef Boy is one of the partner. Like the seafood chowder didn't taste like it. It just tasted like roux + stock + vegetables. It's more of a vegetable soup than seafood chowder. There an absence of seafood in the soup. The kare kare tasted like thickened sweet peanut butter sauce that was colored with annatto. The baked seafood has old prawns and squid that is about to spoil. The shrimp was mushy already inside the shell. It has a fishy taste already. This wasn't my first time dining here. It has improved over the course of 5 months, but it needs alot of work to compete in the industry. It's unfortunate to see restaurants that partner with famed chefs just to use their name for marketing purposes. The price doesn't justify the quality of the food. Your paying the same amount to produce quality food, it's how restaurants execute an present the dish that makes it food good. It's not the price tag. #TheFoodCrawlers #OngsFoodprints #SplatMNL

I was invited by the team behind 7 Flavors to dine at their restaurant so I can write a review…read moreabout it. When I entered the establishment, I was surprised to see that it was empty. Turned out, the buffet display was located at the second floor. There were limited offerings but they made sure to include all the basics. They had salad, tacos, sushi, pizza, fish, vegetables, roast beef, and dessert. Food was promising but almost all of them were no longer hot when I got them from the buffet table which was why I didn't enjoy eating them so much. It was an average dining experience for me.

I must admit, the name is really catchy that I was immediately drawn to it and try whatever they…read morehad to offer. I'm not really familiar with Mexican food but for some reason, by the looks of it, I had a feeling that I might enjoy this one. The Chalupa, their main product, looked a lot like a taco but bold prints on one of their signage clearly emphasized that it's not. I ordered their Beef Chalupa which contained beef (duh), veggies, cheese and other good stuff. You can even choose to put their special homemade hot sauce especially formulated to competent the soft pita-like chalupa. So if you're a fan of tacos and nachos with all the meat and special, you should definitely give this one a shot. You won't regret it. I didn't. Note: Say Chipotle (chi-pot-lei)

What I love about Papa Chalupa? Everything! From the concept, to the name and.. wow, their food…read moretastes awesome as well! I first saw a stall of theirs at SM Hypermart (but I think that closed down), we wanted something different from our usual merienda (fresh lumpia, potato corner, pizza ollo, etc) beside the nearby stalls. I was so happy to have found it at the megamall food court, they also carry the iced tea brand All My Tea and it goes so well with their cheesy beef chipotle, for chicken lovers, you can opt to have chicken chipotle instead, both taste super good anyway). What amazes me too is that the customers get to see how they prepare the dough, sprinkling flour over it and then dipping it into the fryer. Such an interesting process and it's always nice to know how my food is being (safely) cooked.

My dad's province is from Ilocos Sur, and when I heard that there was a restaurant serving Ilocos…read moreempanada, I just had to go and check it out. Their menu is actually quite simple and cheap, as well. For the price, you get a decent serving, but I usually don't get filled up with just one order. Definitely give the Ulitmate Empanada a try, because it features all of the food that put Ilocos on the map (bagnet and Vigan longganisa! Yum!). It tastes just like my grandmother makes it. Their rice meals are low on the budget, but I find the servings a bit too small, even for that price range. Aside from the empanada and the rice meals, they also offer a few Ilocano delicacies that I haven't tried, although the Insarabsab looks a lot like how I see it prepared during fiesta time. This place makes me proud that I am familiar with all the Ilocano food. Come here if you're looking for a cheap meal and good Ilocano flavor.

We ordered different items in the menu so we can all have a chance to taste the food. I ordered…read morethe daing bangus and it was good. The silog plates were decent sizes and the tapa plate was good. the club sandwich is good, but I was expecting it to have turkey in it. Instead of turkey, chicken salad was in the sandwich. It was different. but good. We also ordered a stack of blueberry filled pancakes. The blueberry filling oozed out when you cut the pancake, making them extra good. The restaurant has family friendly vibe and has a comfort food feel. The service was slow and the staff aren't really that attentive. We asked for our check and togo boxes and it took at least another 15 minutes for us to get it.

Unimart has always been one of my preferred supermarkets in Metro Manila…read more I enjoy shopping here because I find everything I need and want, and in reasonable prices. I would have given a 5 stars but on paying at the cashier they did not accept my Chase Visa card. We were previously at Landmark and Fishers Mall a day or two ago, and they both accepted my Chase visa debit card. It was a good thing I had cash. Then we decided to have merienda at their cafe and on paying our bill my sister gave her senior card, and my wife and I gave our Nevada ID to show our age. Our IDs were not accepted either. We told them that our IDs have been good at every dining establishment we've been to but they still declined. I realize now that it is a company policy and the employees have nothing to do with this decision. It is just sad that they prefer to alienate their old customers who are balikbayans now. It is a total discrimination for us. We as Filipinos were never discriminated on in the United States, and now we were discriminated in our own country. I hope they enforce the same discriminating policy to the Chinese nationals.

Almost all products are being sold here. Pricey merchandise as compared to public market prices. They cater to upscale customers, tourists and visitors in the area. The only setback for foreign visitors is you can't use your foreign credit cards to make your purchase in Unimart. They only accept Philippines banks issued credit cards. You need to pay CASH! I would like to suggest for Unimart's meat and fish outsourced vendors; Unimart management must provide de-sanitizers and paper towels to customers buying fish and meat. It's so unsanitary!

I had excellent communication from Kenneth, the Supervisor in 8 Cuts Promenade, and had an outstanding meal and great service today.

I don't usually eat breakfast. But, if I'm on vacation or a staycation and they have a Buffet…read moreBreakfast, I go for it! It is always a pleasant way to start your day during your hotel stay (do you see the rhyme? :P). My brother and I had the chance to eat breakfast at Crowne Plaza's Seven Corners when my mom was given a free overnight stay. We arrived a bit late (around 9AM) and ended up piling our plates will all the food we could get our hands on! The restaurant got its name because it has 7 food corners/stations: Seafood, Japanese/Sushi, Salad, Make your own Noodles/Soup, Carving, Pizza & Pasta, Dessert. They also serve international and Filipino food. I liked the interiors of Seven Corners; a little gloomy but quite relaxing atmosphere. Plus, guests were not rushing to the buffet line (unlike in other hotel buffets). Everyone was taking their time to select their food and were not wolfing down their meal. Aside from the overflowing bacon and the congee (a breakfast fave!), I loved that they served Taho for breakfast. I ended up eating 2 servings! Also, the pancakes were good but the waffles were a bit too chewy. Go for the cheese selection at the Cheese and Bread table. I think my brother was able to make himself a salmon with cream cheese bagel sandwich. The breakfast spread was not that wide as with other hotels. But, the overall quality of the food made up for it. Admittedly, there will be other better, bigger breakfast buffets in the city. However, those buffets will definitely cost you an arm and a leg! Here, you get a very decent breakfast selection for about Php1000++. That is not bad for a high-end hotel! If you're a breakfast person and you need a breakfast buffet to perk up your morning, eat here! :)

The "al fresco" set up provides a scenic view of the Ortigas traffic while you down that ice cold pale Pilsen. Beers are just P45 a pop and even cheaper if ordered by buckets. They even still sell the "tatay" old and stout version for only P35 if you're feeling a little cheap. As for the pulutan, I highly suggest the isaw and lechon. Both are surprisingly excellent, I kid you not. The isaw is a bit bigger than the average stick serving, and it is drowned with a delicious vinegar soy mixture that is highly addictive. The lechon, which is less than a hundred bucks, is crunchy althoughout. Perfect with the liver sauce it comes with. They also offer the standard calamares, sizzling hotdog and chicken wings. If you're adventurous palate or a bit short of cash than old man Mang Tonyo's can help you with those. If you drop more than P250 on this place then you're in a different league than most salary men.

Weddings and receptions anywhere in the world involve tons of decision-making and a lot of fuss -…read morethings which bride and groom should not be burdened with. To help relieve couples of headache and stress, caterers and event planners created wedding packages which include amenities and styling, not just food. Clearly, this is now a flourishing business. Attending a wedding expo gave me the opportunity to listen to the sales pitch of various caterers. After a day of talking to a number of them, I was able to limit my options to a few which have value features that come at a reasonable price. One such caterer is M Catering and Fine Foods (under Michelin Cuisine and Fine Foods, Inc). In fairness, I initially thought that it belongs to the unreasonably lavish high-end bracket favored by celebrities and socialites. As a matter of fact, one of the first promo cards they handed me was a picture of Dingdong Dantes and Marian Rivera. Proudly, they claimed to be the caterer to the couple's so-called Royal Wedding. Subsequently, however, I discovered that in terms of value for money deals, M Catering compared favorably with the competitors. It promised amenities and decent theme styling with the absence of a multitude of additional charges that makes calculation more complex than necessary. They had just a few extra charges and they instantly showed me how to do the computation. As far as the menu is concerned, M Catering offers a wide variety of international dishes even for their lowest priced package. This offers relief from the usual run of reception menus of which most everyone is tired by now. Lastly, a word of advice to the wise bride and groom: In looking for a caterer do not simply compare the standard quoted prices but take into account the value of the product and the amenities and styling that come with the package. Most importantly, beware of rules and additional charges that the caterer may have inserted among the fine print.

They are open til late during the weekdays. So, make time to try their bingsu after a big dinner. Location is inside Salang Restaurant, on the ground floor. The prices for the bingsu are very affordable and, in my opinion, order the regular sizes of 4-5 flavors. My favorite is the Injeolmi bingsu, which is shaved ice with sweet fine grain powder and almonds. It also has mochi and condensed milk. The condensed milk made the shaved ice taste like ice cream. I also recommend the Strawberry, Mango, and Berry Yogurt. In Korea, this type of shaved ice is called snowflake shaved ice. I highly recommend trying it out if you are in for something cool during humid evenings and if you've had a heavy Korean dinner nearby. :)
