THOMSON ROAD CHINESE BISTRO: NEWEST CHINESE PLACE IN ALABANG

When visiting somewhere, it's pretty important to check out something you haven't experienced yet. Going to Alabang for a music festival is another excuse for me to head on over to a new restaurant. At MOLITO, the THOMSON ROAD CHINESE BISTRO recently opened. Thankfully, my friends and I had some time to spare and checked out this new place.

Judging a book by its cover is never a good thing. At THOMSON ROAD, it's like you're transported to a different place once you go inside. Decor on the wall and a couple of other design instruments makes it a place to welcome guests raring to dig in. It reminds me of some of my travels abroad.
The dishes at THOMSON ROAD is somewhat Chinese with Singaporean Flare. There are hints of that special something you get at an Asian Restaurant. Starting off with some Laksa, there's some bite into it. The noodles do not sag and it absorb the flavors pretty well. A bit spicy but it is perfect.
Drinks are also specially made for those craving some tea mixtures. There are some coffee paired with tea and more milk tea involved as well.
BAO'S are an important  part of the menu as well. They have this specially made lumpia that's enveloped inside the cuapao. There's even one that has a mix of Chinese Sausage and some deep fried batter.
For something familiar, the SIOMAI is pretty good. Made with no extenders, the shrimps are huge and filling. It's actually as big as a golf ball.
The PLATTER though would be your bet when with a group. The pork belly are pretty deadly. Properly glazed, you get the best moist and tender piece of meat that you would want in your sandwich. It's even partnered with a garlic mayo dip.
The rice bowls were just amazing. These bowls are a complete meal into themselves.
You could go for the pork belly or even the duck. Personally, I would order another cup of rice just so as to balance the sauce and the flavors. A order is good for two persons and is better if shared.
Sharing, is a big thing when you're having a meal with friends. Their dessert is no exception. This Manga and hindi Sago was actually good for 2-3 persons. There's freshly cut mangoes and even sherbet in it. The Sago part is a surprise and it's up to you to find out what it is.

BURGERGEEK: ALABANG'S go to Burger Place.

Located in MOLITO, ALABANG, BURGERGEEK is the best burger I have tasted in that side of the metro. Basically, BURGERGEEK offers burgers with different types of toppings and addons that would make your tummy cringe with delight.

As you enter, you would be greeted by decor reminisce of your child hood classroom. Even a periodical table of different ingredients are shown to give you that primary school feel.

For appetizers, fries and onion rings are not to be missed. These are done perfectly and are cooked with care. Complimentary Fish Crackers are also served as good food takes awhile when they cook it. They make sure that you won't get disappointed.

If it is your first time, BURGERGEEK suggests that you go for their simplest burger so that you could taste their freshly ground patty. Still, having additional toppings is the way to go. The B+ or BACON + (255Phpp) is the most basic form you could get with the addition of crispy bacon. Here, you could taste the meat patty. The bacon are deep fried and solid. The buns are backed in house and are perfect for the burger themselves.

On the other hand, I wanted to dig in and see what they have to offer more. I went for the CLASS PRESIDENT (310Php). The addition of the crispy bacon, shitake mushrooms, onion rings and bbq sauce, made this an excellent burger. I love the combination profile of the mushrooms and the onion rings. Don't get me started on those rings. They are pretty good.

Spicy lovers would go for the CHEERLEADER (265Php). This baby have the right type of kick. It has kimchi, jalapeno and onion rings. Not too hot but it's there.
For someone that would love something that's a bit overloaded, the HANGOVER (335Php) would be perfect. French fries, beer syrup, bacon and fried egg. Everything one would to start a monstrous day.
If you feel that the burgers are small for you, the GEEK Squared (330Php) might be for you. Basically double cheese and double patty.

Opened just late last year, controversy hit BURGERGEEK early on. An article published by a website noted that the presentation is almost if not the same as one of their ventures. Upon seeing the UMAMI CHICKEN (295Php), the plating and the looks are the same but I believe that it stops there. The taste is pretty different. The chicken skin and meat choice are not the same and are similar to another restaurant. I guess the similarity stops at the plating.

With a shake shack vibe, BURGERGEEK offers delicious burgers in the ALABANG AREA. You can't go wrong with any of their dishes. Price wise it is worth it. Since the seating is limited, I would suggest going on an off peak hour.

CHAIRMAN WANG's in ALABANG

High ceilings, wooden furniture and Chinese Art. These and a lot more led me to believe that I am in one of those ancient tea houses found in China. In reality, I just came from Tagaytay and I wanted a quick bite in Alabang on the way home.
Say hello to CHAIRMAN WANG'S
It was a hot and humid day. So, I got their LEMON GINGER ALE (95/180Php)
 Lemon Juice, Soda water, sliced lemon, fresh ginger, honey, mint leaves. Not too sweet but definitely refreshing!

The CRISPY SALT & PEPPER MUSHROOM (180Php) was something to munch on.
Although, it looked perfectly cooked, i couldn't help but taste a bit of extra frying. It could have been a little over-cooked.

She wanted soup and I wanted noodles. So we compromised.

 CREAM OF CORN with CRABMEAT (120/360/680Php).
She liked the hot steamy soup. Plus the use of real crab meat definitely was a plus!

I got the SZECHUAN STYLE COLD NOODLES (150Php)
 I didn't expect much but it looked pretty simple and definitely not a lot! KULANG! LOL! It was spicy but it wasn't overly so. Even if they said it was cold, the chillis would heat things up. It is also noteworthy that the noodles are hand pulled and made in house.

 We figured that we under ordered. So, we got the PRIME BEEF NOODLE (280Php)
 The noodles were perfectly cooked and the soup was delicious. Not too heavy. The meat was pretty much okay.

We had to try desserts of course!
The CHILLED COCONUT MILK SOUP with SAGO and FRESH FRUITS (95/350/650) is totally worth the price.
 Cool and sweet! That is what life is supposed to be.. and yes same goes with this dish!

Definitely, the RED BEAN PANCAKE (80Php) was also a winner!
The paste was smooth. Not too sweet just right. The pancake wasn't thick so it was easy to chew and 1 order is good for one if you don't want a fight. LOL!

Albeit pricey, they offer awesome noodle dishes. Drinks were pretty much inventive and not the usual kind. Dessert are not to be missed. Ambiance is a plus! Budget around 400Php per person.
