    Learned about My Kitchen through a colleague in one of our ocular visit in Paco Park. It was an afternoon of spontaneity turned out to be a fine gastronomic adventure. It is an authentic Italian restuarant kept inside the Oasis Paco Park Hotel. Guests will pass through the hotel's pool area and the dining area is fixed with an open kitchen. The interiors is seemingly upscale. Price is a little steep but each serving is actually good for sharing. For the starter, tried the Special Chef's Salad (P590) grilled angus steak tossed with greens in sweet mustard dressing. The best-seller is the Panizza topped with five cheese, herbs, arugula and alfalfa. Ordered the Parma Panizza (P790) finished with ham slices, artichoke, mushrooms, and sun dried tomatoes. The texture is real crisp topped garnished with the freshest ingredients. My pasta of choice is the Penne Roberto (P720). The combination of gorgonzola cheese in cream works well. Grilled chicken, herbs, roasted garlic, and sun-dried tomato is a palatable complement. Finished the meal with a cup of homemade gelato in Pistachio flavor (P125). Not to sweet, just the right amount of sugar. Great food and amazing service. The only inconvenience is the street parking.

    Last Sunday my friend asked me to be her ninang at her confirmation at the San Miguel church in Malacanang. After the endless sermon by the priest, it was already lunchtime and me and the barangay of fellow ninangs and ninongs were hungry. My first and oldest inaanak (at 25) decided to treat us all to My Kitchen by Chef Chris. I've actually never heard about it before so I was initially dubious about the choice of restaurant. Somewhere in Paco? Okay. Apparently, it's The Oasis Hotel's restaurant. Going in, it didn't scream super fancy. In fact, the interior seemed dated and the area was not well ventilated. Judgments aside, I tried the food with an open mind. It was amazing! This is how the panizza should have tasted like when I went over to C's in Pampanga. I loved the Tinlou which had bacon, mushrooms and onions. And also the Paco one. Texture was perfect and taste was perfectly balanced. We also ordered the bolognese and the roast chicken. I liked the panizzas the best. For dessert, we had the cheesecake. I also loved it. It wasn't too creamy or too heavy, but it was dense enough to be satisfying. The lime provided a great contrast to the sweetness of the cheesecake. I'd definitely go back, but it's so FAR!

    One of the best pizza places in the Metro is My Kitchen by Chef Chris. While not sporting the best of names, My Kitchen is home to the panizza, the brainchild and pride and joy of Chef Chris. Basically, it's a rectangular pizza cut into long strips that you may drizzle with oil and alfalfa, after which you roll it and eat to your heart's content. It's a nice change of pace from the 'regular' way of eating pizza we've grown accustomed to. They've perfected the right consistency of the dough - too hard and it won't roll, too soft it will break down. The best thing about going here is to go as a group. You can try the many flavors of pizza they have, as well as other entrees from the menu. The only thing I don't like about My Kitchen is the location. It's far and traffic is bad going there. But otherwise, they're all aces.

    What a fantastic find this restaurant was! It was the attached restaurant of the Omni hotel right in the middle of Paco, a district of Manila. The food was delicious especially the rolled pizza accompanied with arugula & the chef"s salad with with potatoes, capers, olives, eggs, tomatoes. What a rare find in the middle of Paco close to Paco Park. I will return!

    Fantastic! I was skeptical at first but the other reviews convinced me to give it a try - I wasn't disappointed. From a unique appetizer (pizza-like flatbread of the owners own creation), to onion soup, peaking with juicy and flavorful chicken, then winding down with a typical (but still good) tiramisu and cappuccino; Chef Chris and his staff have a lot to offer the Italian-cravers palate. Service was very attentive and friendly, but a bit slow on the wine pours. I enjoyed the ambience but I might recommend not facing the windows to the pool if you're not up to some awkward "visuals" as you eat your meal. Great dinner - thank you Chef Chris!

    My Kitchen by Chef Chris is situated in a discreet (somewhat shady) area in Paco, Manila. Among all the dishes, the ultimate must-try is their Saint Jacques panizza. It's an off-menu dish which makes it even cooler! Lol. The risotto valentino was pretty good but only if you love bacon. The spaghetti con frutti de mare was also quite nice. I appreciated the generous serving of seafood. The mozzarella sticks were okay, but the mushrooms that went with it were heavenly!

    Ambience is great though a bit noisy during our dinner. We wenr tonorder striploin flank or the angus steak but it was nit available. The Original Panizza by chef chris is appetizing and uncommon way of eating pizza.by rolling it with alfala. The pasta we ordered was the frutti di mare- it was ok except the pasta was angel hair quite heavy like the chinese vermicelli- the scallops and shrimps and the pesto sauce was good. The pumpkin soup a bit too creamy . I would like tongo back and try the other items as they look promising. Pistacchio gelato was good. Superb flank steak, chef garden salad really good and the tinlou pizza eaten by rolling up the pizza- a new twist and way of eating pizza - freshly made- place ambience good except for the mosquitos and lots of noise from customers

    Only one star because Fafalla is closed and has changed hands is now Empire Bakery and Diner…read more They have one pasta dish and pizza. Baked goods which look good. I'll leave another review when order comes. Updated: it's no longer going by the same name, but I did order the one pasta dish they had with the truffles, and it was delicious as well as two chocolate croissants that were amazing. It was also one of the best lattes I've had in the city. It's not easy finding good food in Manila unless you're at a five-star hotel. So this place is not bad for breakfast croissants and may be a quick bite to get you out of the fast food haven that is vanilla.

    I don't believe that Farfalla is a hidden gem. It's just not right, and I hope this review gets…read moresomething going. Farfalla is the in-house restaurant of the Hotel Durban, a small but classy budget hostel in Makati's tourist zone. And while most of the time the terms "budget hostel" and "in-house restaurant" should be your cue to run far, FAR away from the joint, this is not the case with Farfalla. Farfalla prides itself with making their own pasta and baking their own bread, and it shows in their dishes. I've eaten here a couple of times (I love staycationing in Hotel Durban), and it has never disappointed. The pastas are on point, the bread is lovely, and everything is reasonably priced. But for me, the best feature of Farfalla is the outdoor seating. Overlooking Durban st, which connects the more chaotic P Burgos street and Makati Avenue, you will inadvertently be witness to the fascinating subculture only found in Makati's tourist belt, while being shielded from it. It's like being protected by a force field while you watch foreigners from every persuasion, "massage therapists", hawkers, and partygoers walk, scream, shout, argue, run, fight, and party in front of you. It's entertaining! Something should be said about eating here on a Sunday morning. There you are, eating your breakfast (which is excellent, by the way), while the entire street is quiet and peaceful. Every now and then, you find a couple of tourists/foreigners/locals dragging themselves back to their hotels/homes. Again, very entertaining.

    An imposing and elegant dining area. Floor-to-ceiling arch windows. Great ambient light. Polite,…read moreeager-beaver staff. My list of reasons why I love Chateau 1771 goes on and on. Despite the name of the place, they are not exclusively serving French food. They have pasta, steaks, and seafood. If anything, Chateau 1771 is a modern European restaurant serving favorite French, Italian, and Swiss food. When I first visited the place years ago, I was actually anxious about that moment when the waiter would hand me the check. European dining in the Philippines has always been equated with expensive fine-dining. But to my astonishment, the price was actually reasonable. I mean, it's not affordable and one would be crazy or filthy rich to eat in this kind of place every day. But for special occasions, I would recommend this place. My most recent visit was during my wife's birthday. It was a table for two and we had a late lunch. After a few moments of browsing through the menu, she asked for Croquette Salad, while I went for Butter-baked Oysters. For main, she had Vanilla Brick Spring Chicken, or grilled chicken served with vanilla bean dots. I ordered the Potence, the house specialty. It's basically steak where the meat is served hanging from a potence, or metal frame, and then set alight (by the waiter) with brandy. Their Pomelo Fruit Juice is a must try. I would recommend having a reservation when dining at Chateau 1771. While the place typically fills up during dinner, I find it perfect for a late afternoon hangout. The ambience can truly transport you somewhere in Europe.

    Every time I come to this place, I'm already too full to eat and I'm just in the food for a cold…read moredrink or hot coffee and sometimes their dessert. You know how other shops have fresh fruit shakes but when you drink it it just tastes like sugar? Well, Chateau 1771's shakes are fresh, cold and it's the actual fruit. Oh, their flambeed coffees are amazing. Try their Irish coffee. You'll want more. For dessert, it doesn't matter whether you order a Creme Brulee or a Coffee Bean Sansrival. All of their desserts are excellent.
