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.

UNIQUE DISHES TO TRY AT PARADISE DYNASTY IN THE NEW PODIUM MALL

PARADISE DYNASTY has been my go to restaurant whenever I am craving for some XIAO LONG BAO. I'm pretty much thankful that they recently opened their second branch in the Philippines at the newly renovated PODIUM MALL in ORTIGAS.
Located on the second floor, PARADISE DYNASTY has a bigger and more spacious area to accommodate its guests. More often than not, the restaurant is full during lunch time as it caters to the nearby office workers.
One look at the kitchen and you realize why their XIAO LONG BAOS are amazing. They are cooked when they are ordered and are prepared fresh. The chefs undergo a rigorous training and are there to make your food amazing and delicious.
Now, visiting PARADISE DYNASTY means that you NEED to order their famous 8 flavored XIAO LONG BAO. These babies gives you variety and intends to make your tummy jump for joy.
If you're someone that always frequent their first branch in S MAISON, you'll enjoy their new restaurant more. Here, they have introduced a few dishes that aren't available in the other branch yet. It's something that makes a visit to Podium worthwhile. There's this salted egg deep fried chicken dish. It's not overly flavorful that you can't eat it alone. It's actually the perfect snack as you can just pop it in your mouth. There's also the egg buns. Black siopao like buns that has an egg liquid filling inside. When you pop it open, the flavors just bursts out.
Aside from the usual Jelly Fish with Seafood and the Stir Fried Beef, they now have a chicken dish thatis mixed with nuts and is cooked like chow fun. Also, they have a new vegetable dish in the form of Spinach with glass noodles.
Traditional favorites though are still a must order when visiting PARADISE DYNASTY.
Aside from the original XLB, you could go for something bold like the Poached Fish in Sczechuan Chili Oil.
Don't forget to order the Stir-fried Shredded Pork in Black Bean Sauce. It's served with Chinese Crepes that makes it more amazing to eat.
You should also get the RADDISH PUFF PASTRY as it brings everything together.

PARADISE DYNASTY TO OPEN IN PODIUM MALL ORTIGAS

 If there was one restaurant I was super excited to open in the metro, it would be PARADISE DYNASTY. Unfortunately, it's pretty far from my place. Located in S Maison, it's a good 2 hour drive during traffic. Thankfully, things are about to get better. This December, PARADISE DYNASTY would be opening in the new PODIUM MALL in ORTIGAS.
 Ever since I tried PARADISE DYNASTY in SINGAPORE, I knew I would be thankful to the food gods if it ever open in Manila. Look at it now, with 1 restaurant down south and another one opening this month in Ortigas, I am one happy foodie.
 Paradise Dynasty is known for their flavored Xiao Long Baos. These dumplings have a soupy interior with different flavors based on their color. To be honest, I love their truffle and crab roe flavored dumplings. Still, the original one is the best.
 Other dishes must not be missed when visiting Paradise Dynasty. As much as I am excited to have them here in ORTIGAS, I still find myself marching down south and even going for their noodles. One of them would be the stir fried shredded pork in black bean sauce served in Chinese crepe. Here, you have to use the wraps as a vessel for the delicious noodles.
 Their La Mian Noodles are also pretty good. Different variants give a lot of choices to the guests.
 A couple of must order dishes for me would be the Radish Pastry, Scrambled egg white, and the spicy stir fried chicken. The pastry is flaky and adds a sweet touch.
 The egg white gives off a bit of "healthy" all protein dish. While the spicy chicken, isn't really that hot. Rather, it gives a different meaning to the term fried. Delicious.
