Unli refills on the soup with melts in your mouth meats still Attached to bone and digging in on the bone marrow was insanely good and we paired it with the grilled chicken. We highly recommend you try it. Street parking after the front driveway spots are taken and beware of the parking lot folks that prey on customers assisting but wanting to be paid afterwards. Only thing you should be aware of is parking. Street os free for all so We parked on our own street-side and ignored the guy collecting a fee. If they were assisting during parking, then we would tip them but this is not mandatory. Plenty of spots on the street definitely.

I'm not sure if I said it before but, of all the Pinoy dishes that is my comfort food, I love…read moreanything with soup. Number 1 on the list is Tinola; 2nd place is Bulalo and Sinigang. Bulalo is beef soup made by cooking beef shanks and marrow bones until it becomes a clear broth. Sinigang is a mouth watering braised pork soup using Tamarind as a main souring ingredient. Now, what is Kansi? Kansi is a cross between Bulalo and Sinigang; it's Ilonggo's version of Bulalo. For me, it's the best of both worlds! I love the clear beef broth with the hint of sourness. Pat Pat's Kansi is found in a humble, residential area and it is visited not only by people living in the neighborhood but people who live all the way from Alabang go here to eat Kansi. I'm just lucky that Pat Pat's is literally a few blocks away from Carlo's house. (All the soup I want!) You have 2 choices in the way you want the soup served: Kansi Bulalo (with the bone) or Kansi Laman (no bone, just the beef meat). I always get the Kansi Laman when I'm sharing with others (plus, it's the cheaper option at only Php145). But, when I need to feel extra better after a "bad day," I order the Kansi Bulalo. There's something about eating hot soup with gelatinous bone marrow. *drools* My favorite combo is the Kansi Laman with grilled pork belly. When I'm extra hungry, I also order their Chicken Paa + Chicken Isol (Chicken tails). Wash it all down with Fresh Buko! YUM! The only downside is that they close early. :( I don't know about you but, a bowl of hot Kansi goes so very well after having a couple of drinks with friends!

Al Farsi has been serving good Persian food in Sikatuna Village for years now, and I am glad that…read morethey put up another branch closer to my house which is in Mahusay Street in UP Village. Their new branch, which is near the gym and the new string of stores and restaurants in Central Maginhawa, serves up really awesome and inexpensive Persian food. I love the decor, and how it opens up to the street so that you can people watch and take in the fun Maginhawa atmosphere. I just love the food here. The hummus is very well seasoned, and I love how the garlic just shines through the rich chickpea mash. I also tried their falafel, which is a fried log of mashed chickpeas served with a small serving of fresh salad.The texture of the falafel is ace, and the crunchiness of the exterior was perfect. I ordered an extra pita and made a wrap out of the falafel and the hummus, just like how it's done in other restaurants. At only around P100 for the whole Frankenstein toss-in, I was very satisfied and full. I will be back for more of their falafel.

We recently tried Mangiamo Ristorante & Pizzeria, a spacious Italian restaurant tucked away on the…read moresecond floor of an office building in Makati. The place has a warm, slightly old-school Italian atmosphere, with white tablecloths, hanging greenery and a colorful Venetian-style mural. It's much bigger than it first appears. They have two private function rooms, plus a separate glass-enclosed section with bar tables that looks ideal for cocktails or a small party. We started with the Caprese di Bufala, made with buffalo mozzarella, marinated cherry tomatoes, fresh basil and olive oil. The cheese was creamy and mild, while the tomatoes added some freshness. It was a pleasant start to the meal, although not particularly memorable. Next was the Ravioli di "Magro," filled with spinach and ricotta. It normally comes with a cream sauce, but since I'm not a cream-sauce lover, I asked them to prepare it with a tomato-based sauce instead. The flavors were decent, but the pasta needed more sauce because it came across a little dry. In hindsight, the original cream sauce may have complemented the filling better. The Pizza con Salame Milano was the dish I enjoyed most. It's a classic tomato-and-mozzarella pizza topped with Italian Milano salami, which gave it a salty, savory kick. Simple and familiar, but satisfying and easy to share. For dessert, we had the Brazo de Mercedes, a rolled meringue dessert with a rich custard filling. Unfortunately, the meringue was drier than expected and lacked that soft, light texture that makes a really good brazo so enjoyable. The servers were attentive and looked after us well throughout the meal. Service was definitely one of the stronger points of the experience. Mangiamo is also on the pricier side. Most pizzas and pasta dishes are around ₱700 to ₱900, while several specialties go beyond ₱1,000, plus service charge. At that price point, I was expecting the food to leave a stronger impression. Overall, it's a pleasant venue with plenty of space, attentive service and good options for private gatherings. The food was enjoyable enough, but nothing spectacular. Worth trying if you're curious, although I would manage expectations, especially considering the prices. Overall rating: 3 out of 5.

Given the sheer population density of the BF Homes area, it is no surprise that food places that…read morestay open until the wee hours of the morning usually thrive. With the closing of mainstay Gourmet's Palate (which has subsequently reopened), the market became wide-open for such places to compete with those that have been 24/7 since the start, including the two branches of Sinangag Express. Soon after Gourmet's Palate closed its doors, Dusadee Thai began operating at all hours, adding much-welcome variety to the late-night-to-early-morning food scene in BF. As the name suggests, the place serves Thai food exclusively. Good Thai food, to be exact. The Pad Thai and spring rolls are excellent, and the different curries are quite tasty too. This doesn't come as a huge surprise, as the owner is actually a Thailand native. The meals are priced fairly, especially given the portion size and level of taste. The place is quite small, so you may have to wait a bit if there are no seats available. You can also get your meals delivered if you live in the area. You can choose to light up if you get one of the outdoor seats, although I recommend taking a few steps away to the parking lot instead.

I myself am a fan, that's why it's nice to see Shomal; a Hossein restaurant around my area. I've dined here a few times and the quality is as good as the more popular branches in Makati or Taguig. it's also a personal "safe haven" when Trinoma gets too crowded, especially when I'm there on weekends. There's always enough space and "room to breathe" in Shomal. The side dining areas are also nice and cozy with all sorts of curtains hanging from above. The service is also always on-point. Some of the things I usually enjoy here: the ox brain, hummus, and any of the kebabs.

"Food that makes you smile". That's a promising tagline, isn't it? And when you do get a look at…read moretheir menu, it does make you smile. At least it makes me smile. What you have are a bunch of decently sized, decently priced dishes which taste really good despite the low price tag. And a bit of backstory: this place had me the instant I saw it because of one simple fact: their name. I was rather close to my grandmother. She was the reason I learned how to cook. So when she passed, a love of food and the knowhow to prepare it was pretty much the one thing that I got from her. So finding somewhere that served good food that had her name? Definitely made my day. There's a certain homey vibe to this place despite the odd choice of food combination. Really: pasta, wings and mexican food? Intriguing. I think thing I love the most about this place is that they know the value of the combo meal. For 150php, you get two of their dishes as well as iced tea. That's a really good deal and perfect for indecisive people like me. They also have bulk orders for bigger parties or just in case you need to feed a bunch of people. Of all the places I've seen, this is probably one of the best deals in the Maginhawa area. If you're looking for a good, filling meal... I say give Felicidad a try.
