 This holiday season two great restaurants join together to give back to their chosen charities. RACKS AND TENYA have both partnered with Habitat for Humanity and the Make-A Wish Foundation respectively. A portion of their special sets will be donated to these non-profit organizations.
 In TENYA, they offer the WINTER SEAFOOD TENDON. These Christmas bowls could be customized and are priced for just Php 395. They have tiger prawn, soft shell crab, salmon and a few more tempura surprises.
 For RACKS, they brought in the big guns by offering THE BACON CRUSTED PORK RIBS.
 This baby might not look as appetizing as the other dishes but it's delicious and straightforward.
 The saltiness of the bacon crust went perfectly well with the soft and tender meat of the rib. Add a little bit of their secret bbq sauce and you are good to go!
 They also offer these for different number of diners and guests. Patrons dining alone could available of a quarter slab while big groups could go for a huge PLATTER! Remember to try ou their broccoli and cheese. It's a "healthy" surprise.

NEW WORLD MANILA BAY HOTEL: UNLIMITED BURGERS and RIBS in The FIREPLACE

When NEW WORLD MANILA BAY HOTEL comes into mind, there's this quiet and very discreet restaurant that gives you one heck of a time. Dimly lit and perfect for any intimate occasion, you won't go wrong with THE FIREPLACE. The FIREPLACE maybe known as a romantic destination  but on the flip side, it is very homey and welcomes guests, families, and travelers alike.
As one enters, you are greeted by a huge oven with a fireplace look. To complete the authenticity, actual wood on the side. They use it to cook and smoke the different dishes that they serve.
The FIREPLACE is also known as a carnivore's playground. And yet, they also offer starters that could delight any type of appetite.
For something light, one could go for the CEASAR SALAD. With crisp pancetta on the side, you don't need to be a vegetarian to enjoy this one. Seafood lovers have the option to order some baked oysters and even smoked salmon. The oysters are filled with gooey cheese and herbs while the salmon has a deeper flavor.
Something different, the FIREPLACE introduced a couple of promotions to spice up their patrons cravings. For MONDAY BLUES, one could go for unlimited burgers and beer. Pegged at Php 1,700 Php, everyone is welcome to try out limitless serving of beer and burgers. One could choose from a SAN MIGUEL PALE PILSEN or a SAN MIGUEL LIGHT. Interestingly enough, the KALINGA KOLSCH would be the top pick. A craft beer that is locally made, this one is both light and refreshing.
The burger, on the other hand, is a different matter altogether. Covered with a couple of quail eggs, a thick and juicy patty is served alongside some medium cut fries. One bite and you realize the serious quality of the meat used to create this monster.
On Sundays, a different deal is up for grab. UNLIMITED WINE and RIBS are served for dinner time. Wine choices would depend on the availability that night. The ribs though are a specialty. Not offered on the regular menu, this slab of meat is moist and tender. Each bite gives a savory and sweet taste. Partnered with some coleslaw, you get to understand the contrasting play.
Needless to say, one really goes to THE FIREPLACE because of the STEAK. The HANGING TENDER gives off a tasty and juicy piece of meat. BUT, it is the WAGYU RIBEYE that would get anyone's attention. Tender and delicately grilled. This bad boy is a must when visiting the Fireplace.
Dessert is also an ideal way to cap off any dinner.  At the FIREPLACE, you won't go wrong with any on the menu.
The MOLTEN CHOCOLATE LAVA CAKE is a feast for the senses. A mouthful doesn't overpower you. It makes you swoon with delight. Other than that, the MATCHA CHEESECAKE is also a winner. One could taste the matcha bitterness alongside the hint of the dairy making it a balanced ending.

MIGHTY QUINN'S in Sm Megamall: Brisket and More Manly Eats

It might seem something different but it wouldn't stop anyone from trying it. American Cuisine is definitely foreign to the Filipino Palate. And yet, a lot of diners crave for something out of the ordinary. At MIGHTY QUINN'S, they spread the word through their smokers and huge cuts of meat. Making them, a good place to start something different.
Located on the 3rd floor of the SM MEGAFASHION HALL in SM MEGAMALL, MIGHTY QUINN'S is one of four international restaurants of the famous New York institution. With the others in Taipei, Dubai, and Tokyo, the people behind Yabu and Ippudo were able to bring this restaurant chain here to MANILA.
Smoked and slow cooked for almost a day, the meat that MIGHTY QUINN'S serve are deadly good and smoky.
Flavors are infused and are completely absorbed by these succulent pieces of meat. Techniques were perfected and premium ingredients were used to create such masterpieces.

Surprisingly, the restaurant only uses one type of sauce and its easy to figure out why. The sauce in itself is an all around. Plus they have something else to give the dishes a different flavor profile.
That would be the pickled add-ons. Different vegetables were cooked and marinated to make them give off tangy and strong flavors.
Furthermore, side dishes are also available. From potato salad, to baked beans and other vegetable offerings.
If there was only a couple to try, they would be the sweet potato and the corn fritters. The sweet potato has a slight cinnamon healthy yet sweet flavor. On the other hand, the corn fritters are down right delicious specially when partnered with some spicy honey sauce.
Aside from the award winning briskets, they also have other meat dishes to offer.
One could go for pork, beef or chicken.  The Spare Ribs are packed with tender and finger-licking  profile. If you're already filled with brisket, one order of BURNT ENDS would make you ask for seconds. Having a vinegary profile, these babies are a joy to eat with either rice or buns.
Here at MIGHTY QUINN'S, they can serve the dishes either with rice or in a sandwich form.
If there are a number of guests in one group, they may opt to get the BRONTOSAURUS RIB. A humongous piece of tender juicy loving, you can't go wrong with this.

Definitely a crowd pleaser, MIGHTY QUINN'S is the place to go to for BARBEQUE. Although it might look as if it's a place just for a straight meal, one tip to go on would be to try their PUDDING. It is simple and must not be shared. Mighty Quinn's opens to the public today, December 13, 2016 Tuesday.

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.
