Makati Trippin'

1. Minsok Korean Restaurant

Don Pedro St. Poblacion,, Makati, Luzon, Philippines 


So one weekday, I came across KCC at naalala ko na doon pala si Tech. So ending ng story we were looking for a place to have dinner. And we sorta wanted samgyeopsal. I've been to the whole lot of bunch of Korean Restos. Sa Makati area, I've been to two pa lang. Medyo wary ako for trying out other Korean restos since a) hindi medyo kamurahan at pagdi pa ako masaya uuwi lang akong disappointed b) medyo may expectation ako sa side dish. 

This by far is my favorite Samgyeoupsal place. It also has one of the BEST SIDE DISH ever. (Kimchi, fish cake, and that other "veggie cake"). Prefer this over Jang ga nae, for the "refillable" side dish. Bugs the shit out of me when most Korean Restaurant has a staff na  wary when I ask them to refill the kimchi. Geez. I only eat one veggie out of the those that you serve anyway. 

2. Tonkatsuya


Perfect for Katsudon and rice meal cravings. An alternative for those who go to Japanese restos just to eat..teriyaki chicken (no Len hindi ikaw un, hehe). I could not even finish one meal set, had to take home the Tonkatsu pa kasi may natira.Anyways, they also have sashimi on the menu (kung feel mo no rice mode ka, kaso sakto lang talaga sa araw na un wala- Sorry Rex).


Anyway, medyo sulit naman ang miso soup (at yes ang iillang beses lang sa buhay ko na relatively ok pa ang lasa ng toge).

 

Oyakudon

Tonkatsu

PS. I love how thoughtful sila sa takeout. Nagsama pa talaga ng Tonkatsu sauce, (that rarely happens for most "takeout sa tira-tira na ulam"

3. Park Avenue Desserts

#7 G/F MagaCenter, Paseo de Magallanes Commercial Center, 1232 Makati, Philippines  

 

Roca Cake+Latte

Not a fan of the Roca Cake (later ko na nalaman its made with coconut- duh EM duh.)but love their macaroons. There are other choices for the cakes. Sabi sa karamihan daw sa mga so-called foodies, Mango Crunch at Apple Tart ok daw :) Pero kung ikaw ay may craving for macaroons and red velvet, they have it sa store na din. :) 

Cupcake

. Ill try other desserts next time. #1 reason- because Chef Buddy Trinidad IS so cool. Aspiration ata ni Rex ang maging chef+be part of a rockband :)

4. O-'sonho Portuguese

Had this a week before, same shiz: All Meat Paella, Beef Salpicao (not so sulit for me), Coffee Ribs (sabi nga ni Rex, kaya naman daw niya gawin sa bahay so not so sulit din. Not so crazy about this either). Big winner para sa akin ALL THE TIME ang Peri Peri Chicken. Its GOOD. 


For Paella, I've had better ones. Pero winner ang kanilang Peri-peri Chicken, the rest medyo relatively keri lang. At masyadong matamis lang ang iced tea para sa akin, reminds me of Tang Iced Tea Strawberry. (puede.)
