NONO'S NOW OPEN IN THE PODIUM: COMFORT FOOD ALL DAY

 The first time I learned about NONO'S was when I walking around UP TOWN Katipunan and saw this busy restaurant. It seemed well lighted and welcoming to its guests. Fast forward a few months after, NONO'S recently opened another branch in the new Podium Mall in Ortigas.
 Located on the second floor and just beside one of my favorite Chinese restaurant, NONO'S puts a premium on all day comfort food. It might sound cliche but it sure delivers.
Starting with something small but terrible, the cheese wanton puffs with truffle is hands down addicting. There's something about having them warm with some drizzle of honey. Yummy!
Another dish that is not to be missed would be the shrimps with the candied walnuts. It's basically a make your own dip. Remove the word dip and change it with shrimps! Deep fried wanton wrappers plus shrimps and a bit of nuts can make anyone crave for more.
 For someone health conscious, they have a some salad just for you. These watermelon and greens plus grapes is refreshing. With balsamic dressing and nuts, everything is complete.
 One might say that the mac and cheese of Nono's might lack the wow factor at first look but when you have a bite, it is darn cheesy! Using a combination of cheeses, it makes cheese lovers ask for more.
 Giving it a twist, this ROASTED BEEF BELLY is just hands down perfect with rice. I know it was served with mashed potato but it's indeed something that any Filipino would love with rice. It's drizzled with balsamic to give it a different flavor profile.
One dish that Nono's is known for would be their homestyle fried chicken. The meat is moist and the coating crunchy. Special mention has to go for their fries. There's a bit of bite when you go for the fries. I found myself asking for more.
 Since it is the Lenten season, NONO'S went out of its way and offered some shrimps thermidor. A mixture of cheese and special sauces are combined with the huge shrimp. This would definitely fulfill that no red meat rule.

NONO'S is actually the brainchild of Classic Confection. It's no wonder why they have mouth watering desserts on the menu. If ever you do get to visit, I would suggest going for this classic. It's moist, not overly sweet and could make your day.

Nono's is located on the second floor of the new Podium Mall.

NONO'S: UP TOWN CENTER KATIPUNAN'S ALL DAY CAFE

Tired of the usual fast food, there's this saying that nothing beats home cooked meals. This is exactly what they have at NONO'S. Dishes that are from the heart and filled with familiar memories.
A quick snack or a long lunch, NONO'S at UP TOWN CENTER KATIPUNAN could be the place for you to relax and enjoy the day away. Located on the first level of UP TOWN CENTER KATIPUNAN, Nono's is from the same people behind CBTL. As such, you are assured of quality dishes and delicious drinks.

For starters, one could have the SHRIMPS with CANDIED WALNUTS. Consider this as pica-pica. You have crispy fried wantons as base and you add as much shrimps and nuts as you want. Something new to their menu, the truffle cream pasta is another must try. Once served, you get to smell the truffle making you crave for more.
Two entrees that might be great for sharing would be the PINOY STYLE BEEF STEAK and the HOMESTYLE FRIED CHICKEN. The beef steak uses USDA and is very tender. Although a bit on the sweet side, this dish might be better off named as tapa. Usually, Pinoy styled beef steak are sour in nature because of the calamansi used. This isn't true here. The Fried Chicken though, is somewhat familiar. Almost similar to a local restaurant chain's flavoring and texture profile, this works well with the gravy and the honey on the side.
