Ever since I met my loud squad in the form of my former workmates slash food besties, I have been able to explore my love for foreign food most especially that our office is situated along Eastwood.
Anyways, these restos were some of those food establishments we have eaten. (As far as I remember)
Caffe Bene
Benne’s like Starbucks in Korea. Yes, it’s a Korean cafe which offers different kinds of coffee/frappes/mocktails/yoghurts/sandwiches/gelato/bingsu.
Bingsu, according to Pam is a “Korean Halo Halo”. It is a dessert containing shaved ice and topped with fruits/condensed milk and syrup. In our case, Pam let us try the Oreo Bingsu.

Don-Day Korean Restaurant
Don Day on the other hand, is a Korean buffet restaurant. It is situated along Maginhawa Street. One of the main reason why we went here is to experience Korean cuisine at a fixed-price expense. The budget for the dinner (special) buffet is 399/head (drinks not included). The buffet is inclusive of the samgyupsal plate, ready-to-eat Korean dishes in the buffet section and grilling for the samgyupsal.
For what I remembered, there’s this cheaper buffet like the Don-Day buffet which only cost P199 while the Samgyupsal buffet is P299.
I actually did not enjoy the buffet because I was not able to try all the food! I easily became full tho. But anyhow, recommendation-wise, I could approve of this in terms of the affordability of the buffet (compared to other Korean buffet). And the thrill of eating a cuisine as a first-timer seemed wonderful to me.
Bobby Box Casual Dining
After work, we usually notice this Doraemon-like mascot along Le Grand Tower in Eastwood so we were wondering what was this restau is all about. Soon as we knew that Bobby Box serves Korean food, and that we got exposed to Don-Day, we then tried it! What I can really say is that this was a good value for money. At the range of 150-200, you can get a meal + a drink! Isn’t it amazing?
What I really love their meal is how it cutely comes in a box. I get it, Bobby Box, right?
Katsu Sora
Moving on, Japanese food is what we tried next. Katsu Sora is a newly opened Katsu concept owned by Santuoka Ramen group.
What makes it unique from other Katsu restos is that they have 4 choices of pork. In my case, I tried the Sakura pork.
The buffet comes with your choice of salad from their salad bar, unlimited rice and miso soup at the minimum price of 350 above. Only!!

Hot Star Large Fried Chicken
It is said to be the number 1 brand of chicken shop in Taiwan because of their specially marinated and cut-to-perfection XXL (30 cm) fried chicken chops.
There’s no denying of my surprise when I saw the XXL chicken they are boasting about. It’s really as big as my face!
Overall, I enjoyed my meal. I never expected the chicken to be that great-tasting. The only downside is that I want to have more rice. And there was this tendency of the “umay” and “sawa” factor on the chicken because it is really huge.

Kyochon
Kyochon just opened its doors along Eastwood weeks ago so my chicken-lover buddy Pam invited us to try this one out. She did not disappoint us.
The honey-glazed chicken is my favorite. It is not too sweet and tasted just right. Their spicy chicken is really spicy. So I suggest you have the water beside you upon munching on the chicken. On the other hand, the original chicken is also delish.
What I can say that it is a must-try and Lee Min Ho is very handsome.
