THE ALLEY BY VIKINGS: BONIFACIO HIGH STREET'S GO TO BUFFET BGC

When someone asks me where to go for lunch, I usually say let's go to a buffet. The upside is that you get tons of choices and you won't need to wait for food. One of my go to places would be THE ALLEY in UP TOWN CENTER KATIPUNAN. Recently, they just opened their 4th branch of the same concept in BGC.  This newer place is hipper and more instagrammable.
Since this is owned by the VIKINGS GROUP, you could be sure of its quality and quantity. One thing that differs between the usual Vikings buffet is that THE ALLEY is patterned like a food hall. They have 14 different stations that you could choose from.
You just have to remember that this is a buffet. You go for the meanest and best bang for buck dishes.
If it was me you're talking to, I usually head on over to their Japanese section first. NAMED as YATAI, this stall offers sushi and sashimi. Other Japanese dishes are also found here. 
It's tempura all you want as well. If they don't have a single one waiting for you, the staff is willing to bring newly cooked ones to your table. So don't forget to get your table number.
After starting with my go-to's, I would suggest that you visit the stations that offer the carved dishes. IN BUONO, you are greeted with the big guns. Aside from turkey, lamb, and beef, they also have deep fried pork aka liempo. Surprisingly, they offer chicharon bulaklak here as well.
Another must try would be their baked oysters. Topped with tons of gooey cheese, you won't go wrong with these babies. Just remember to eat them when you have something in your stomach already.
As you enter THE ALLEY in BGC, you have a choice between the left side and the right side. Don't get me wrong, both sides are perfect places to sit at. My only tip is to stay somewhere at the back since most of the main courses are there. One stall named as HAO CHI, offers Chinese Dishes. Aside from the deep friend pork, you could also go for the soy chicken. Really good stuff.
The choices here are extremely limitless. You can never go wrong with any.
I appreciate that they also serve street food. They have a fishball cart that sells deep friend goodies. Beside it, they offer bibingka and puto bungbong. You could also have some dirty ice cream, taho, and balot.
Another thing that makes me like THE ALLEY is that they have an extensive list of drinks to choose from. You can go for something alcoholic like their cocktails of the day, or fruits juices and even freshly brewed coffee.

FOWLBREAD: BGC'S Newest Chicken Sandwich Place


FOWLBREAD in BGC HIGH STREET has just opened a couple of weeks back and it is already a must visit resto in the metro.
 Granted that the restaurant only has a few dishes to offer, I believe that the quality of these items makes it the perfect stop over before calling it a night.
FOWLBREAD generally serves chicken sandwiches. Yet, it has a lot of drinks to offer to partner along your chosen variety.
From a Frozen Pineapple Yakult cocktail to a Strawberry Hibiscus Cooler. Both perfectly refreshing for the summer heat.

And still, they have a lot of craft beers to choose from. Chocolate drink too, if you're lucky as the COCIO stash is almost always out of stock!

The place is small with al fresco dining going for it. It does have a small dining room with a/c but it can only fit around 12-15 diners. Even so, the turn over is pretty fast and the waiting time is not that bad.
To start things off, the fries are a must. Be it salted or garlic. The salted is perfectly fine. But the GARLIC version goes well with the burger. I found myself getting more and more even if I told myself to stop eating.

Aside from the fries, FOWLBREAD has 3 more items on the menu. Their CHICKEN SANDWICH, GARLIC EGG NOODLE and POTSTICKERS.

 The GARLIC EGG NOODLES looks pretty simple. It is like your normal aglio olio or garlic pasta. Pretty simple and straight forward. If you must have some variety, you could have this with your sandwiches. You could also add some chili paste found table side just to give it more heat.
Then the Golden Chicken Sandwiches. Here, you could order them with or without the fries. Plus, you get to choose the heat level. It could be normal, spicy or chemical.
  Normal version is like eating something that's well, pretty normal. You get to taste and feel the quality of the chicken patty alongside the chicken skin. Oh, I did forget to mention that the sandwiches has a chicken patty and a deep fried crispy chicken wing on top. The chicken is moist and delicious. The chicken skin is more than crispy. It is addicting. Alongside the Russian dressing and some home made pickled vegetables, the chicken is pressed between two buttered and toasted buns that are soft yet not overly oily.
Going back, the Spicy version could be distinguished from the chemical because it doesn't have any umbrella on top. Plus you could see the spicy powder concoction on the chicken skin.

 As I mentioned, the Chemical has that umbrella on top. If you are familiar with KFC's ZINGER, this is somewhat close and yet has a little bit more heat to it.
The Potstickers was out of stock the first time I visited. When I returned, I got to try it. Basically, they look like dumplings or gyozas sticking to one another. It has a nori-ish flavor that could be a little bit overwhelming. The sauce underneath couldn't mask it.

FOWLBREAD in BGC High Street is a simple restaurant that caters to the needs of the foodie community. Simple because of the fact that it serves a couple of dishes that has the perfect flavor profile and as such, makes it straightforward. I haven't seen this type of restaurant in the metro in ages. Here, they whip up a couple of dishes and serve it as is. The choices in drinks are a lot longer compared to the food menu items that they have. Is this a bad thing? Not necessarily. Instead, it focuses more on the dishes and as such give them more attention. Hence, a more happy tummy.

Olive Tree Kitchen and Bar: Chilling is Their Game

I know of another epic way of ending my birthday week, it was to try and go to as many restaurants as you can in a day. LOL!
Exactly what I did!
So, my workmates and I were able to go to 3 places in Tagaytay and all this before lunch. From Breakfast at Antonio's to Bag of Beans to Original Buko Pie (click). 
So come lunch time (still full from breakfast), I had the opportunity to try this resto bar.
Hi OTKB!!

Eating Red Garlic Bistro

May 11, 2013

About a year or 2 ago, my family and I chanced upon this small restaurant along Blue Ridge, Katipunan. It had sushis, pastas, pizzas and dessert. What more could I ask for? I became a regular, bringing my friends to dine here. Sadly though, it closed and recently moved to the Fort.



Fast forward to last night, my friend Ms. K asked me to go out with her to have some dinner. Being the good friend that I am, I (was forced and blackmailed) gladly went with her. The only problem now was that she wanted a lot of things. She was indecisive. She doesn't know what and where to eat. She only wanted to go to BGC to have some fun after. So, I obliged. While driving, I remembered that one of my usual go to recently just opened near Bonifacio High Street. There, her cravings would be satisfied.
