Just by hearing its name, you'd know in an instant that Kambingan ni Tsong is the place to go to…read morefor kambing or goat dishes. The place is like a karinderya where you go to the counter and point which viand you'd like over the many choices displayed. I'm not a big fan of goat dishes but I must say, their kilawen, caldereta and pinapaitan are so good. For those who can't stand eating goat, don't worry 'cos they also have other Filipino viands to choose from. I'm very impressed when restaurants offer free soup so imagine my joy when I found out they serve free soup. As you'd expect in a karinderya type of restaurant, the prices of their dishes are fairly cheap. When it comes to cleanliness I've observed that the place is neat and well-cleaned. Watch out for a big crowd during peak hours, they have lots of tables but it can get crowded pretty fast.

Fairview or FARview to some is slowly turning its huge areas of "talahiban" (large weeds) and hills…read moreinto roads and local establishments. Approaching at the near end of Commonwealth road from Philcoa is Elyong's Ihaw-Ihaw and Restaurant on the left side of the road. It occupies a long lot of about 300 square meters and is filled with different sizes of "kubo" (bamboo huts) to accommodate costumers. The place is especially commendable at night because of its colorful lights and cozy yet breezy ambiance, it is the perfect place to chill for barkada night outs, after office bonding, KTV and for some who just want an ice cold beer and a sizzling dish after a long day of work. They offer a variety of Filipino dishes, from chicken, pork, beef and seafood. Their pork sisig is one of the house specialties and their grilled seafood is always perfect with a bucket of beer. One should or shall I say MUST also try their Fried Ice Cream, they serve the best Fried Ice Cream in town, I swear! (I go back to this place because of it). Their food prices are affordable as well, just right for the quality and quantity of the dishes. It is best if you're eating with a group and "KKB" (Kanya-kaniyang bayad/ pitching in) applies. If you're from the south and thinking of having an easy north road trip with your friends, I highly recommend that you stop by and chill at Elyong's. It will surely be the "one for the road" at the end of your trip.

Ah, fried chicken, one of my favorite childhood meals. It's certainly a very simple yet…read moreunforgettable dish. The gravy-smothered, crispy skin and the juicy, flavorful meat never fail to hook me in. There are a lot of restaurants that offer quality fried chicken and one of them is Classic Savory. They keep their fried chicken simple yet still scrumptious without overdoing all the herbs and spices that other restaurants sometimes do. What I like most about them though is their gravy. It isn't as thick as others but it still has a lot of flavor, and they serve it generously. They're also very affordable which is a plus for people who are on a budget but still wish to have a fulfilling meal. Now I want some fried chicken. I could just try my hand at cooking some, but I'm afraid I'd burn them! I think it's best if I just go out and head to Classic Savory.
