BAKER & COOK and PLANK: S MAISON'S BREAD FEST OVERLOAD

 An important component of any pizza would be its dough. At PLANK, they take pride in what they have developed. Here they create a chewy yet filling type of pizza that has different variants.
 But I'm getting ahead of myself. Located on the ground floor of S MAISON MALL, just underneath CONRAD HOTEL, would be BAKER & COOK and PLANK. Both are owned by the Bistro group and has partnered with the SINGAPOREAN BAKERY.
Here, creations of Dean Brettschneider are served and made fresh daily. To ensure that nothing is wasted, the baked goodies are put on sale as early as 8am. Come night time at around 9pm, the remaining products are sold at a percentage off.
 Aside from a hot cup of joe, the BAKER & COOK has some traditional pastries that are elevated to produce exceptional works of art. One could mix and match one another and would make you a happy camper.
 
If you're into something more of a heavy meal, PLANK got you covered. PLANK specializes with SOURDOUGH PIZZA. Here, they have a number of creations to entice you along with different entrees.
 Just in case pizza is not your main go to dish, you may also want to try out their roasted chicken and their ribs.
 The chicken is marinated to perfection. Different herbs and spices were used to have the guest enjoy everything on the plate. Furthermore, the ribs were masterfully done. Very tender and moist, each bite would tell you to get some more. The sweet and savory flavors blends well in the mouth. For sauce lovers, it might be prudent to ask for extra on the side.
PIZZA is a religion for PLANK. Here they create SOURDOUGH variants with different toppings. If you're craving for an artist interpretation of a pizza, you may want to visit them up.
 Meat lovers would enjoy the parma ham topped pizza (6). Partnered with some arugula and a tomato paste base, you won't go wrong with this one. For someone feeling healthy, the Mushroom Pizza (7) might do the trick. Containing different types of mushroom and spices, there is a subtle taste of umami with all the flavors.

 A surprise favorite though would be the BBQ Chicken Pizza (4). This one is also topped with Strawberry compote. Brie worked well with the bbq flavor.

Just in case you're a bit on the seafood side, the SHRIMPS and SALMON pizza would be for you (3). Littered with smoked salmon and capers, there is a bit of contrasting flavors which you would definitely enjoy.

DENNY'S OPENS TOMORROW in BGC!

 And another one enters the Metro Manila dining scene. Starting OCTOBER 7, 2016 FRIDAY at 6 am DENNY'S would be open to the dining public. Closing time? None whatsoever. For it is open 24/7.
For quite some time, people in the industry have been talking about this particular diner opening up in the metro. After a few years, a sign of life emerged when a restaurant space was covered with tarpaulins that had the DENNY'S LOGO!
Thankfully, DENNY'S in BGC is now open. Located in BGC UPTOWN PARADE and right beside the Palace Pool Club, DENNY'S is the perfect after party place to sober up. Being a family friendly diner too, DENNY'S serves not only breakfast items but also Filipino favorites and some late night snacks.
Breakfast lovers would enjoy their PANCAKES. One of them would be this CREAM CHEESE CINNAMON that was served with salty bacon and egg. The pancake was soft and had a sweet touch. It went well with the bacon because of the contrasting flavors.
 For something a little bit more "light", the GRAND SLAMWICH would do perfectly. Scrambled eggs, bacon ham and a potato bread grilled with maple spice syrup. This particular bread is an amazing touch. One could definitely devour it even without sides.
 It could be noted though that some of the dishes were modified to suit the Filipino palette. A couple of dishes that were somewhat different would be the SKILLET WRAP and the SAUSAGE and PEPPER SKILLET. The skillet wrap has seasoned nacho meat inside and is covered with a sunny side egg. A combination of sausages makes up the other one. To make it a bit different, a mix of BEDDAR, CHEDDAR and English Bangers were used.  Afterwards, gravy was poured all over.
Describing it "a bit hot" would be an understatement, the SRIRACHA BURGER is named appropriately. This one right here can make your mouth flare up. Seasoned with sriracha and accompanied by pickled jalapenos, the burger is a must try.

Surprisingly, the prices of the dishes are quite affordable compared to other restaurants that are serving the same thing. Taste wise, it was a welcome treat. The dishes could definitely make your day.

Classics at MURRAY and D'VINE in Serendra BGC


Burgers are made to be messy, juicy and quick. That is what MURRAY and D'VINE gives. Located in Serendra, BGC, This restaurant has been acquired by the Bistro group to add to their long list of brands. One might say that it is a great place for a quick meal but it has more to offer.
MURRAY and D'VINE has a modest selection of appetizers. They introduced flatbreads. Somewhat pizza like but different and could be shared by 2-3 persons. Similar to the ones in Village Tavern. 

 If that isn't your thing, you could go for a slab of BABY BACK RIBS. Juicy and fall of the bones goodness. I liked the smoky taste.
  Enter the Burger.
The burger is the one thing that can't be messed up. It is perfect for a quick and filling meal. It might be not as glamorous as other dishes but it is the go to sandwich for every meal.
The Cheese and Bacon Burger is simple. Cheddar and bacon placed on topped a meat patty.
Sharing might be a good thing too as they offer Burger Sliders. Just in case you won't be able to finish one whole burger.
And if you can't decide, they offer a sampler platter of sorts. From the slider to the baby back and even some wings.
One burger that must be tried is the JUICY LUCY. A patty packed with swiss cheese and sauteed onions inside. Pretty nice texture and cooked perfectly. I love it how the cheese can't contain itself and it wants to ooze out already.

It may be not too spacious but it does serve decent classic food. A little bit pricey but you get what you pay for. Now, I can't help but wait for the new concepts the BISTRO GROUP is bringing in... Stay tuned for those!
