BGC'S FAT!: Making Your Tastebuds Jump for Joy


Serving amazing dishes for the longest time, FAT in BGC'S Burgos Circle area can be one of your comfort food go to places.

Having a simple and clean vibe, the restaurant is quite homey and perfect for a small gathering of friends and family. One thing to remember, FAT doesn't believe in MSG. They wish to serve dishes through the natural way. They want the flavors to come alive.
One dish that made FAT famous would be the GREEN TEA CHICHARON (190Php). The Pork Skin was stretched to its limits to make this huge chicharon. Made in house, it is guaranteed fresh and crunchy. Served with Honey, Vinegar, Pickled Vegetables and Green Tea Salt, guests will be able to try different flavor profile of this pork rinds. They suggest mixing the vinegar and honey to make the sweet and sour taste pop out.
Another deadly yet invigorating dish would be the BONE MARROW SISIG PLATTER (395Php). The perfect way of eating this would be to use the bread as a vessel to put everything together. Butter it up with the bone marrow. Then, place some sisig on top. The Tomatao Jam would be able to give it a bit of sweetness.  
The FAT SURF n TURF (500Php) is a crowd favorite. Sous Vide Hangar Steak with Prawns and vegetables. Served with either rice or tortilla wrap. Even if the steak served was not the best cut, you would appreciate the sous vide. This enables it to make the meat more tender. Once you wrap everything together, it seems that you have that soft taco that you can't get enough of.

One of FAT'S newest item would be the SALMON BURGER (490Php)
Made with 100% Salmon, the patty's goodness can't be denied. Emmenthal, gruyere, red onion, wasabi mayo and balsamic cream. This is one of their "healthiest" dishes. The patty is made without extenders. Mixed with just a small amount of seasoning, the flavor is brought out properly.
For dessert, the PEACH PANNA COTTA (100Php) would be your best bet. Grilled peach served with candied almonds and sugar tuile.  It has the right amount of sweetness to end the meal.

FAT DADDY'S SMOKEHOUSE in BGC'S BURGOS CIRLCE.


A must place to pig out, FAT DADDY'S in BURGOS CIRLCE, BGC is a gem in plain sight. Already their second branch (after Marikina), FAT DADDY'S SMOKEHOUSE enjoy a following among foodies. Looking in, the place seems simple and neat. BUT, this is where you go to enjoy good food and better company.  Diners will rejoice with all the MANLY dishes they serve.
Starting strong, you might want to try one of their famous milkshake. The SMOKEY MAPLE BACON (150Php). A nice blend of sweet and salty all rolled into one cold drink.
Trying to be healthy, FAT DADDY'S serve salads with a little oily twist. These dishes would be perfect for someone that is trying to go on a diet but still loves bacon.

Something to warm up the taste buds, the WILD MUSHROOM SOUP would do the trick. Three different kinds were used to create this dish. Crispy bits would greet you as you take the first spoonful.

Something that I personally enjoyed was the CRISPY FRIED PICKLES (165Php). Huge cuts of pickles were deep fried to perfection. Making me one happy camper.

A couple more deep fried starters that put FAT DADDY'S on the map would be the HOT PORK POPPERS (175Php) and the BUTTERMILK FRIED LIVERS (185Php).
Rubbed Pork belly was used to make the poppers more flavorful. Partnering it with the vinegar sauce would make someone crave for rice. Another interesting and well executed dish, the LIVER was pretty good. The use of the buttermilk and other seasoning was able to mellow down the strong flavors.
Cheesy dishes would make great comfort food. FAT DADDY'S makes them pretty well.

The HOT MESS (360Php) and the MAC and 4 CHEESE (320Php) are classic examples of what hot cheese dishes should be. The Hot Mess is their version of mashed potato with loads of cheese, bacon and pulled pork on top. The MAC and CHEESE meanwhile, would fulfill your childhood fantasy of having amazing home made bacon with those macaroni. Cheesy, salty, damn GOOD!

For someone that is truly hungry, their main dishes would be your best bet.

The braised short ribs is slow cooked and is partnered with bourbon sauce. This gives it a little twang on the palette. On the other hand, one could go for some salmon or shrimps just to getaway from all the meat.

For a huge party, it would be better to go for their SMOKED and BARBECUE MEATS.
A whole range of flavors and meat experience would greet the diners. The Beef Brisket, hot links, bacon slab, and even a bacon slab.  These are done right. You won't go wrong with any.

Side dishes would also be a welcome partner for the mains. I would suggest going for the dirty rice and the bacon and chives corn bread. The rice has a little bit of saltiness and the corn bread gives you a different mouth feel from all the meat.

Dessert is a big thing in FAT DADDY'S. If there is only one dish for you to try, it must be the BACON and SMORES DIP. Homemade smoked bacon provides the salty component while the chocolate ganache and marshmallows give you that sweet ending.
 
FAT DADDY'S SMOKEHOUSE in BGC is that place where you want to go to if you want to pig out.  Aside from smoked and barbecued meats, the starters are well executed. They also serve burgers and other pasta dishes for variety. These are delicious and yet very deadly. As with everything good, always keep things in moderation. Cheers.

FRANK & DEAN: Ocean's Telephone Co


FRANK and DEAN is a place that hides from the lime light. Located in the BURGOS CIRCLE AREA, you won't be able to notice them unless you are looking for them.

This hidden gem is far from all the ritz and glitz. Once you enter, sounds of the past blast you right where you stand. Old school music from the days of Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin. Current sounds were given old school twists as well.

Up the second floor is a different beast altogether.

The red door to a different place awaits you. THE OCEANS'S ETLEPHONE CO.

One quick peek and you will see a "normal looking" telephone booth from the olden days.

But, knowing that there is a secret door makes it worthwhile. 

 When you enter, this greets you. OCEAN'S TELEPHONE CO.

It's basically a speak easy bar. Or something that they tend to shy away from the general public. The place opens around 7pm and closes till the wee hours of the morning.

Of course, I went there for the food.

You can start of with their RACLETTE GRILLED CHEESE (335Php). Raclette, cheddar, mozzarella, brioche slices and a marinara dip. This baby right here is a great start.

The EGGS BEN on BRIOCHE (360Php) 2 poached eggs smothered with hollandaise sauce and bacon right in the middle.

They also have 12 inch pizzas available to share starting at 11am. One rule that they have is to eat them with your hands. No utensils. Just hands.

Classic choices here would be the Margherita (300Php) and the Pepperoni (399Php). The pizza are thin crusts and premium ingredients were used.

One dish that I enjoyed though was this. The SOUTHERN FRIED CHICKEN WITH WAFFLES (420Php).
The chicken pieces are deliciously made with their original breading. Gravy is homemade and served. The waffles on the other hand are perfectly cooked. Each bite is crispy and the addition of their syrup is amazing.

If a meal is not your thing, they also offer coffee and some decent sweet snacks.

You can be sure of their coffee as they source it from Yardstick. Most of the desserts are third party though but are worth it. The chocolate covered potato chips are a must. It reminded me of royce but then again, this is locally made and it still packs a punch. I liked the mix of sweet and salty as it is a perfect play on the flavors.

FRANK AND DEAN is the place to go if you want to hungout for coffee or cocktails. You get decent grub and the place isn't that crowded too much during weekdays. Their speak easy bar of OCEAN'S TELEPHONE CO is a cool hangout after a day's work.
