Actually, it's not just a meat shop. It's a mini grocery…read more When my mom is too lazy to go to the market and when the maid can't be sent alone, I have the unfortunate task of going to Monterey Meat Shop. Don't get me wrong, this place is really convenient for those who live in the area. They have meat (obviously), vegetables, cooking oil, herbs, noodles, different sauces and ice cream. (I only go for the ice cream.) If you're a senior citizen (like my mom), don't worry if you forgot your senior citizen ID. They have all the senior citizens who live in the area and frequent the shop fill up a form. The cashier will just ask you for your last name, does some math and you get your discount. Another great thing about this little shop is that they accept all major credit cards. Don't have a credit card? You can use your ATM or debit card. Sorry, they don't make 'pa-utang' or 'pa-lista' though. Oh, and they accept reservations! Last Christmas, we needed chicken to make relleno. They didn't have any that day, but they said if you put in an order the day before you need it (your chicken or meat), they'd have it for you the next day.

Whenever Merville's Monterey Meatshop doesn't have what I need, I cross over to Moonwalks Monterey…read moreMeatshop and get what I'm looking for. They sell meat and a whole lot of other products like cooking oil and ice cream. What makes this Monterey Meatshop different from the one I always go to, is that this one has more vegetables for sale. And the shelves are full of vegetables in the morning. It's always fresh and at reasonable prices too. There are fewer staff here so it gets pretty slow when there are lots of people. You do have to remind them about your order and how you'd like them to cut it. But overall, their service is still good.

Warning! The Meat Depot is located inside BF Homes Paranaque and it's not the easiest place to go…read moreto. Security in the subdivision is top-notch (as it should be) and unless you are resident, you'd have to go through the long process of securing a car pass before you are allowed entry. The Meat Depot is actually a discount meat store offering cooking service so keep your expectations to a minimum. There are two kinds of storage inside, the chiller where you pick the meat you'd like cooked and eaten inside and the freezer where you can shop and pay for discounted meat. We ordered Wagyu, T-Bone, Angus, Tapa, Pork Chop and Liempo and the only thing we liked was the pork chop. Everything else tasted meh. One of my friend even commented her mom cooks steak better and I agree. There's nothing special about the way they cook steak. I'd love to write more but that's about it. I'm actually quite disappointed because I heard a lot of good things about the place. Somebody who had been here before said the steak tasted better but she said it wasn't as good as she remembered it.

Visiting some family down south and my Uncle suggested we tryout meat depot. Being a steak lover, I…read morecan only say YES to a place like this. I love the fact that you can choose your own meat and cut of the steak. After choosing a meat they give a small paper to tell them how you want it cook and what side dish and sauce you want. Place is pretty good size and it was a Sunday. If your a big group you might have wait for a little bit. Steak was served with great grill marks cooked to my desired temperature and the sides I want. Overall it was a great experience. I will definitively come back try the wagyu next time.

I usually spend around Peso 4,000 per week in this shop to keep my FILIPINO family fed…read more But when I am ignored and made to wait till last...even though I was first in the shop. To be made to wait till the Philippine customers are all served first is quite upsetting. It does happen in some other places where foreigners are hated (e.g. Barangay places). Philippines is the worst for this out of any South-east Asian country. I won't be giving this shop any more of my money.

I have so much love for The Plaza Premium Baked Ham. This stuff is gooooooooood. My mom told me…read morethat back in the day, The Plaza used to be the only food establishment that would be hired by Malacañan Palace. To me, that speaks to the quality of their food and the service that they provide their customers. Today, thankfully one does not need to hire The Plaza to cater for them in order to sink their teeth into this wondrous slice of carnivorous goodness and sweetness. In my case, I merely have to travel 10 to 15 minutes to get to Megamall and order a whole wheat pandesal plaza hamwich single. Add a drink for P50. Be sure to choose the premium glaze for your sauce as it is DIVINE.

Me and my family are curious whenever we passed by Clark, so last Friday we went to this restaurant…read moreand finally tried it. Upon entering the ambience is so comfy, their staffs were friendly they accommodate us immediately and suggested what food to order but the owners are opposite with their staffs because they don't greet their customers compared with other restaurant we've been. Moving forward We ordered beef belly--I could say it was very good it was so juicy and tender for appetizers we had nachos it was ok the cheese sauce was kinda dry and but their salsa taste good, also we tried their salad with peanut sauce it was very refreshing. It is very affordable when you eat in big groups, it really a "Family Style" dinner resto. Overall, we will still come back and try their other food on their menu.

I realize that this is a chronic problem through-out the Philippines, but this is not some hole-in-the-wall, side-of-the-road turo-turo restaurant. Chops purports to be a high-class, American style resto. And they had dozens of staff people hanging around in a slow time of the day with NO TOILET PAPER. Go ahead and eat there if you want. Just be sure to bring your own toilet paper or be prepared to just hold it in for a while.
