POUND BURGERS: NOW OPEN IN EASTWOOD MALL

Burgers are a man's best friend. It's an invention that made things easier and better for the most of us. If we wanted something on a go, we put our favorite meat in between two slices of bread and there you have it. A decent burger that would do wonders for your appetite.
At POUND, they elevate the experience by providing some scrumptious deals and quality dishes to go along with your burgers. Known as the place to go for some man sandwich, this restaurant recently opened another branch in EASTWOOD CITY MALL.
Aside from burgers, they also offer a variety of salads and other side dishes that might compliment your meal. To be frank, you shouldn't pass a chance trying out the risotto tatter tots. These babies are deep fried ball perfection. Partnered with some truffle dip and you're good to go.
If you're indecisive, you could get their "MEAL". It's basically a cheeseburger with fries and iced tea. Everything packed and loaded for you to get your bite on.
 If you're semi-healthy, you could go for their Portobello mushroom slider. But, add some bacon just to mix it all up. At POUND, you get to mix and match different toppings that might tickle you fancy!
 If that's not enough, go for a double patty. Smothered with their secret cheese sauce, this baby is a wild treat.
 Personally though, their secret burger makes me jump for joy. It's a double patty with caramelized onions. Just for good measure, I added some foie gras and egg just because I wanted something more. Darn juicy beef in every bite.
 
 For dessert, go for their SUNDAE! This is a must have. It's loaded with brownie bites, nuts, and caramel plus chocolate. It's darn good that I'm thankful I have medications to take for this baby.

APPLEBEE'S in MANILA: YES PLEASE!

 When it comes to American food, one of the best places to go to would be APPLEBEE'S. With a few stores in the Metro, APPLEBEE'S is sure to make your taste buds jump with joy. Recently, APPLEBEE'S has created a few dishes to entice the public to head on over and enjoy one heck of a meal.
 The best time to be at APPLEBEE'S would be during happy hour. They're quite generous. From 2 in the afternoon to 7pm and 10pm up until closing, guests could indulge and try out the different draft beers and cocktails for only 89Php. Not bad. Plus, they now carry the ENGKANTO. A local craft beer-line developed for the Filipino taste buds. Partnered with the crispy deep fried pickles, you'll definitely enjoy this one.
 Another delicious starter would be the SOUTHERN BEEF BRISKET QUESADILLA. Shredded beef brisket is tossed with spices and other secret ingredients to create a darn good filling.
 For health conscious patrons, APPLEBEE'S has a few salad that would make your mouth water. One of them would be the GRILLED WATERMELON and SPICY SHRIMP SALAD. Juicy and sweet, the watermelon has complimented the greens and the shrimps. Another one would be the BUFFALO CHICKEN SALAD. With a bleu cheese dressing, chicken tenders are the main attraction for this salad.
 If there was one dish that I would go back for, it would be the FIRECRACKER SHRIMP.
 A cheesy and gooey mac and cheese, this pasta is perfect to go with the deep fried shrimps. A little spicy, it's a nice wake me up for anyone that would try it out.
 Burgers are also a main thing at APPLEBEE'S. The main man though would be the TRIPLE MEAT ALL-IN BURGER. A combination of USDA BEEF BURGER PATTY with smoked bacon and shredded beef brisket. Served in a toasted brioche bun, this is one heck of a mouthful.

 A pleasant and appetizing surprise would be the PORK LIEMPO ADOBO. Pork Belly is cooked with a soy vinegar sauce that makes it to die for. Partnered with fried rice, this is one heck of a dish.
 A number of desserts were also part of the new menu. From a hot fudge sundae, to a S'mores Creme Brulee, and a Naoffee Cheescake, you won't go wrong with any of them.

APPLEBEE'S now open in EASTWOOD


One thing always leads to another. Hence, APPLEBEE'S recently opened another branch in Quezon City. Located in the Citywalk area of Eastwood, APPLEBEE'S is a welcome addition to the restaurant vibe in the metro.
Unassuming and somewhat hidden in plain sight, the newest restaurant in Eastwood is nestled on a second floor of what will be IHOP. Don't worry as they are currently installing elevators to help the guests enter the restaurant and not use the stairs.

A well stocked bar is also located in the alfresco area of APPLEBEE'S.
Here, they have a plethora of cocktails to choose from. Perfect to spend a lazy afternoon or a night of unwinding.

To start the meal, one could go for the SRIRACHA SHRIMPS. Crunchy and coated with a spicy sauce, this is pretty good. I liked the seasoning and the fact that it was not overwhelming.
Salads are also masterfully done in APPLEBEE'S. You could choose to make your own but having an Sweet Asian flavored dressing would work. Grilled shrimps would make a perfect add on as well.

A crowd favorite, the WONTON TACO is screaming with texture and flavor. Wonton wrappers were deep fried to create a shell. A little on the sweet side, this could pass off as an Asian Mexican flavor fusion.

Surprisingly, the MEATBALLS were soft, delicious and flavorful. Compared to other restaurants, APPLEBEE'S version has real meat flavor. Having some tomato sauce also helped it out.
The 4 Cheese Mac and Cheese would be perfect for kids and kids at heart. The cheesy flavor works well with the Honey Pepper Chicken Tenders. I could see myself going back just because of this dish and the tacos!
Uniquely APPLEBEE'S, the QUESADILLA BURGER. The juicy burger went well with cheese and the quesadilla wrap. Tender and delightfully good. Yummy.
The BBQ PORK RIBS is somewhat different from others that I have tasted. Usually, it would be fall off the bones and could have been a little overcooked. Their version has tender meat but it still sticks to the bones, making it easier to eat with your hands.
I also like the fact that APPLEBEE'S offer meals less than 600 calories. One of them is this 3 cheese with chicken and a side salad. A little lighter compared to the 4 cheese, I was pleased with how filling this meal was even if it was less than 600 calories.
APPLEBEE'S has a lot of playful desserts. From an ice creamed black forest mug to a butter pecan blondie, you could get what your taste buds would crave for.

CAFE ENYE: WEEKEND BRUNCH with Mimosas

There are only two things that wakes me up early in the morning. An episode of Game of Thrones and good food. One weekend, it was the latter that had me get up from my snugly bed and I found myself driving to EASTWOOD.
 Hello CAFE ENYE.
Located in the ground floor of Excelsior and just beside healthy options, this restaurant is unassuming and simple as one could be. Different dishes lined up a makeshift buffet table as friends and family partake on a delicious meal.
To celebrate the weekend, CAFE ENYE hosted a Brunch to get the word out. CAFE ENYE is having unlimited mimosas and bloody mary's for the dining public. Needless to say, I had 7 glasses of these babies and was a little bit tipsy after. This would possible be one of the reasons why I would love to go back. The booze and good food.

Different starters greeted the guests as they embarked on a mini gastronomical adventure. Since alcohol was involved it would be prudent to protect one's self by eating some oily dishes first. Based on studies, oil would coat your stomach lining. Hence, the absorption of the alcohol would slow down and decrease. The Croquettes would be perfect for this. A little addicting, the potatoish gooey middle reminds me of a childhood favorite. For something more heavy, one could go for the PATATAS BRAVAS. Drizzled with Sofrito Aioli and harissa, this one goes well with the mimosas.


A little garlicky, the GAMABAS ENYE STYLE is something shrimp lovers would enjoy. Partner it with the CILANTRO MUSSELS and CLAMS and you would definitely have a pleasant time.

If you are not a rice eater, fret not since CAFE ENYE serves CUBANO. These panini looking sandwiches could either have mahi-mahi or grilled marinated beef. I would go for the latter as the chimichuri and cheese works hand in hand to make it a delicious dish.

A little bit on the middle Eastern cuisine, the CHICKEN MOJO SKEWERS could make your day. Adding the cilantro yogurt on top balances out the spices used to make this dish. 1 cup of rice is not enough.
For Filipino food lovers, the home cured BEEF TAPA from CAFE ENYE would suit you well. Not on the sweet side, these tapas are tender and moist. 

My favorite though would be the SPANISH BREAKFAST PLATE. This is a behemoth and has a plethora of choice viands on top. Spanish style toast, crispy bacon, Spanish Chorizo, backed beans and grilled tomatoes. The chorizo is definitely a must. Adding bacon made this plate perfect.
Aside from the food, the ambiance was laid back and relaxed. This place is a gem hidden in plain sight.
