The first morning I had silog with tamarind chicken and pork asada, and lots of crispy Danggit! The congee was amazing! U added every topping possible plus fresh calamansi juice! Also had lychee chia pudding one morning and blueberry the next. The lycée was absolutely delicious! We consumed heaps of the most delicious dragon fruit. Now onto the pastries!! One morning they had bread and butter pudding squares and the other morning they had taisan bread. Both were so scrumptious!! Our server Harven was a delight! Friendly, got us warm milk, and answered my 6 million questions! We also took pictures in the back patio that overlooked Laguna de Bay. Beautiful views in every direction. They also had pineapple and mango jam! New jam flavors to me that were delicious on my cream cheese filled French toast. My husband also tries the miso ramen and the fresh salad with a great sesame dressing. In other words, we ate everything, everyone was so friendly and the views are incredible.

Our hotel package booking included daily breakfast at The Nest, located at the 31st floor of Vivere…read moreHotel in Alabang. Though it operates as a rooftop bar and restaurant, they also offer buffet breakfast for in-house guests. FOOD: 3/5 The overall food selection was quite limited, primarily a mix of Filipino, American, Chinese and other International dishes. The food was decent but could have been better overall. SERVICE: 5/5 I noticed that most of the servers were male while a few female staff at the food counter. Regardless, all of them were attentive, polite, and efficient. AMBIANCE: 4/5 Being at the rooftop, the restaurant provides a full view of the city. I can only imagine how much more stunning these views at night with the city lights. It also features a mini pool - not for use but aesthetically for decor which I believe needs a little polishing and renovation. Overall, the buffet breakfast at The Nest did its job - it fill us up in the morning, though I wished there was a wider selection. And I take my hats off to the staff at The Nest - their service were on point!

There's something special about the feeling of buying your food in the market, having it cooked and…read morefeasting on it right away. This kind of experience is what the Original Dampa market offers for those who want to enjoy good food without hurting their pockets too much. The original dampa market is a compound with different stalls/restaurants offering basically the same kind of food for customers. It's a place where you can make "paluto" whatever you just bought at the conjoining wet market. You have an option to buy from the wet market whatever you wish to eat (which can get your a lower cost) or ask the staff from the restaurant to buy (but of course this will have a slight markup on the cost). I suggest you go for option A at least once just for the experience of getting to haggle with the vendors to give you a lower price. One place I have tried is called Jagz, which is the 3rd restaurant to your right as soon as you enter the compound. We bought from the wet market ourselves the following: Pork Liempo, Shrimps and Mussels and had it cooked right away in the restaurant. While waiting for the food to be cooked, cracker nuts were offered to us as appetizers. We opted for the Pork Liempo to be grilled, our shrimp to be tossed in garlic and butter (my ultimate fave!) and the mussels baked in garlic, butter and cheese. The buttered shrimp was super good, especially if you got big shrimps from the market. It had just the right amount of flavour! I got to eat about half of this! Hahaha. The baked mussels were also good as a generous amount of cheese was placed on top! Having baked mussels in the Metro can be a challenge since not a lot of restos offer these. The grilled pork liempo was perfectly grilled as well! I definitely enjoyed my trip here! For drinks, they have sodas in can, juice in can and bottle and for the big families, they also have 1.5 L bottle of sodas. The place is airconditioned with 2 tv sets, both with cable so you can also watch while eating. Beer is also available and you can also bring in your own hard drinks, although you need to pay a corkage fee. If you want to belt out a couple of songs, a karaoke machine is also available. Parking is also available just in front of the restaurant though during weekends, this might be a problem. Budget is around Php 1,000 - Php 1,500 for 2 (depends on the quantity of the food you will buy in the market) as this will also be the basis on the charge of their "paluto".

I've heard and read about Neil's Kitchen for years now from friends and food bloggers alike but…read moreI've never had the chance to try it even though this location (their first and original location) is super close to our house. My friends planned a "South Saturday lunch" so that we can hang out in my neck of the woods instead of going all the way to Makati to hangout. Luckily I got a table immediately before the crowds arrived and a queue was formed. We ordered the following to share: 1. Tokwa't (Tofu) and Baboy (Pork) - we all enjoyed this appetizer that we ordered more fried tofu. The sauce was tangy and sweet while the tofu was cooked really well, crisp outside and soft inside. The pork was tasty and crispy as well. Loved the flavours and the textures in this dish 2. Crab fat pasta with crab cakes - the pasta wasn't too overpowering but you can def taste the crab fat. The crab cakes were made with real crab and they didn't scrimp on it. Great dish! 3. Sinigang paella and pork belly - one of their most popular dishes at Neil's Kitchen (we actually ordered two!). The sinigang in the paella was a great way to do a different take to sinigang and the pork belly was delicious. 4. Kare-kare with bagoong rice - kare kare was great with the distinct peanut taste and loved the veggies too. The bagoong rice was a nice accompaniment to the dish. Overall, I'm glad I finally tried Neil's Kitchen and next time I want to try their desserts.

The Rib Shack is currently one of my favorites because of two things: first, they're conveniently located just five minutes away from my in-laws' place and second, they serve ribs and wings. The place is quite family-friendly. They have high chairs and toys you can borrow to keep the kids entertained, but they're also quite barkada friendly by night, with their wide choices of drinks. Their ribs is obviously the star of the show and I love that their full rack is only at P800+ (order the It's Complicated Set, it comes with three side dishes) but in my Kuya's words when describing something that doesn't live up to his expectations, it's "payat." The slab is huge and oozing with flavor, but the ribs aren't quite as meaty as I expected. Their Buffalo Wings would have to be the scene stealer though. It's really good! Meaty and flavorful, we barely touched the bleu cheese dip that went with it. And that's saying a lot, if you know how much I love my bleu cheese. The price range isn't your typical friendly neighborhood restaurant, but their servings are big and their food is promising, so sulit pa rin. Check out this place when you're in my part of the south.

They closed down and last year, they reopened and has become a full-blown restaurant and events venue. My parents know the owner and they have always wanted to take us there for lunch or dinner. So we did and the food was incredible. My mom would always rave about their Boneless Chicken In Mushroom Sauce, and she was right to do so. The chicken was tender, but the real superstar was the finger licking good white sauce smothered on top of it. The Steak ala Pobre was too chewy for me (we should've asked for medium well instead of well done) but the grilled stake was juicy and perfect. Best of all, we only paid 1,800 pesos for a dinner for eight persons. And no, we didn't get any discounts because we knew the owner. The cost was really affordable. I see many family lunches or dinners taking place there in the near future.

It was nice that the manager or supervisor still made sure that someone assisted me as I waited at one of their tables at the front of the restaurant. Anna was quick with the bill and I was informed about the P11.00 packaging charge. Upon receiving my order, I noticed how light the paper soup bowl was so I took a peak inside. Behold, the container was half full! I asked Anna about it and she said that was really the serving size. Shookt! But right after, she was able to get that bowl filled up some more! For that, I am eternally grateful! And the receiver of the order was happy with the new serving size. I stole a taste and loved it! In our books, good clam chowder is always New England's! This was just a short visit, but every little detail counts. Hopefully, I'll get to return soon to actually try a main dish. Thanks again, Anna! Thanks again, Red Lobster!

Our favorites include Sumo Sam's Pride (a fresh, sweet salad of lettuce, mango balls, grilled shrimp, cherry tomatoes, and candied walnuts), Crunchy Tuna Roll, and California Maki--which are noteworthy takes on the usual favorites.

We had those big order of classic churros (around 12?), a couple of flavored ones (Dulce de Leche for the win!) and some choco-coated churros for a little over 500 pesos. Not bad, eh? I must say, I'm quite impressed with their menu and value for money. I'll definitely be back soon to try their breakfast sets (French Toast sounds good!).
