I don't know how it's possible to mess up baby back ribs, but they did. They were flavorless and tough as an old shoe. The taco was filled with canned chili. Very disappointing for my first Tex-Mex meal in the Philippines. Not coming back talaga!

Service is attentive and accommodating, internet is available and stable, ambiance is lively and refreshing, and the overall value of the food is just the right premium. Original 1/2 Chicken with 3 sides (360+ PHP) Meaty portions of juicy roasted chicken with 3 side of your choice. We had the mashed camote, regular mashed potatoes, and Mexican rice - minced tomato. It's an amazing deal. We also had the Adobo Blackmole Taco (99+ PHP) a saucy pulled-pork filled soft-taco piece with a more than satisfactory punch of subtle flavours. The distressed wood panels, faux grass, and cheerful Palette of colours give the place a lively ambiance. Definitely a place where you'll spot us when we crave for a simlle roast chicken meal.

The Clean Plate has a safe menu full of crowd-favorites using quality ingredients…read more The menu at this point is a bit disjointed. The Filipino favorites came across as an addition the menu to satisfy members of the family who won't be satisfied with pasta, pizza, or other dishes without rice. They also may want to rename the "small plates" section as some of the entrees were as small as the small plates' servings. Give the Lengua a try (but order more than one if you are sharing). Definitely go with the Chicken Parmagiana if you can't decide on a pasta - it was our favorite dish of the night. And as much as you are enticed, I'd steer clear of the Bacon Lechon Kawali: it sounds like a good idea, but isn't executed well and ends up being too dry instead of crispy. Check out the spiel on the front of the menu and restaurant communications, about the importance of eating healthy and benefits of organic, and then assess the menu. If they are dishes that don't seem to ring true to their identity, I'd avoid it. I don't order seafood at a Steak House. I shouldn't have ordered twice fried pork at a healthy restaurant.

I ordered the "American" breakfast, which was one of several options for the meal that comes with the room. The eggs were delicious and cooked perfectly and the toast was really fresh and yummy along with the bacon and assorted fruit (including watermelon and pineapple). Coffee was included and good too. I had this meal the second day at the hotel as well and it was even better than the first time. And the service was very attentive. I would highly recommend this place for breakfast/brunch.

The Flying Pan, which is located right at the ground level of Citadines along Valero Street, is the latest concept eating place from the people behind Myron's Place in Greenbelt 5 and Franco's in Power Plant Mall. The Flying Pan has a modern and chic interior. Their menu focuses more on breakfast and brunch fares. Customers who don't mind the heat and are fond of people-watching will surely enjoy dining al fresco. Valero is never a dull street any time of the day, except on weekends. Recently, I had Franco's Breakfast. It consists of eggs, Angus beef sisig hash, and garlic rice. It was a good breakfast. Besides, I like any meal made with beef. One time, my wife felt adventurous and ordered Poached Eggs with Tomato Sauce, Chickpeas and Feta. She was meaning to try this breakfast item before. But now that she finally did, my wife was a bit disappointed because the meal didn't have enough chickpeas to make it more satisfying and filling. It was mostly tomato sauce.

They have a lot of creative take on Filipino dishes. Some work, some don't. The 'Pakbet Ratatouille' had a nice flavor. But, the veggies were so finely diced. The 'Corned Bistek' was way too fatty. The 'Ginataang Kalabasa' had no pieces of kalabasa. It had all been pureed into the sauce. It would be a healthier dish to have a few whole pieces in it. Otherwise, it's a beautiful and delicious. They cover a lot of dishes with fried garlic.

Welcoming staff and I was greeted with smiling faces. The staff here in the Philippines will only help you if you flag one of them, otherwise they will leave you alone. I ordered the Sinigang with Boneless Bangus. The warm and sour sinigang soup was excellent. It does have a perfect balance of sourness. Loaded with veggies- kangkong, okra, and radish. Very generous three big pieces of bangus. It was perfectly cooked and just seasoned just right. The dishes here are served family style, so it could easily feed four people. The Sizzling Sisig was so delicious. Fatty, juicy and creamy. It goes perfectly well with garlic rice. Make sure to squeeze the calamansi all over. Come hungry, you will not be disappointed.

Let me reiterate that, a carinderia with a receptionist. This just goes to show that this sturdy and seasoned establishment is continuously expanding to improve its menus and services. Bulalo, their bestseller, is just totally exquisite. I have never tasted any other version that compared to theirs. One serving of Special Bulalo can already be shared by 2-3, or even 4, not-so-hungry persons. Soup is refillable so you can enjoy more of it to your heart's content. Surprisingly, considering that it was lunch time and the place crowded, service was still really quick and this special dish was served to us in a jiffy. My friend and I did not experience the torment of anticipating this heavenly yet sinful meal. This meek and humble place only proves that you should never judge a restaurant by its facade or interiors. Will I be back? Hell yeah.
