Mr. Swabergers: Making the Burger Hype More Exciting with Fancy Colored Burgers

There is no doubt, we live in a society where instant, create-your-down and do-it-yourself seems on the verge of popularity nowadays - whether pizza, ice cream or cake it may be, burgers are undoubtedly on top of the list. One can easily recall Zarks or the Brgr Project and many more for their flagship of  create-your-own burgers. Then there's this colored burger that entered the picture. Wait, colored burgers? I am dedicating this post to the burger lovers out there. Especially to ehem.. Jossan. Earlier this morning, as I was on my phone checking Facebook, my mom told me about this colored burger she watched on TV. She can't barely remember what was the name of the store but it was along Caloocan. I immediately searched it online until I discovered "Mr. Swabergers". It was featured on TV5 Morning Show this week. Watch the feature here. And so I did not make second-guesses, I invited my mom that we should give it a try. Mr. Swabergers is located along Sangan...

Of Korean, Japanese and Taiwanese Cuisine

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. For more information, check out their website: caffebene.com.ph 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 (drink...

Welcome to Sisig Society

Sisig Society is one of those promising restaurants along Eastwood that offers their specialty make-your-own-sisig at an affordable price. Jossan's been a sucker forthis type of food so we tried it out soon as I learned about this. Jossan tried the Crispy Sisig. It comes with a cup of rice and is priced at PhP 149. According to him, it lacks flavor. Flavor in the sense of it's strong taste (just like what other sisig tastes like) On the other hand, I wanted to try something unique so I ordered the Sisig Pasta and it's the bomb! It was around their Snacks corner alongside with Sisig Nachos anf Tacos and I find those really appetizing. Mos of their snacks only cost PhP 99. I also tried this Eyes Scramble for PhP 59. Literall with eyes on it! Don' worry tho, it's just a candy. Hehe. Overall, I' m satisfied with Sisig Society. My ratings: Food - 8.5 Price - 9 Service - 10 Jossan's Ratings: Food - 6.5 Price - 7.5 Service - 8

Of Kariman and Uncle John's Fried Chicken

Mini Stop has been known for their signature kariman – with various of special fillings on it inside. I admit I haven’t tried one but I finally did a while ago. :) I believe Kariman is sort of a Japanese food since the convenience store originated in Japan. Relatively, it was a cross between a meat bun and a fried sandwich, according to Sybdive  It contains fillings (whether sweet or savory) stuffed into a piece of yeast dough, sealed, dipped in egg wash, rolled in   panko , and deep-fried till the outside is golden brown and crunchy to the bite. Going back, upon buying Uncle John’s fried chicken meal for my lunch, (which for me is worth-the-buy because of the generous size of the chicken and comparing to other stores offering  the same type of meal, I believe it can be included on your choice) I decided to have Cookie Karamel Kariman since it was only ten pesos. Surprisingly, it was delicious. It tastes like cookie butter with...

Khansarey Perfume Gallery

I always find myself a sucker for cute stuff – most especially if those are unique goodies such as food that I often see online. So there’s this time that one of my girl crush  posted an M&M birthday cake flavored candy. I was like, “Seriously?! Birthday cake?!” Good thing Maxene located Khansarey Perfume Gallery on this  Instagram post. I immediately mapped the store online. So Khansarey is located at the Shangri La Mall, specifically in the 4 th floor, main wing, stall 405. This was near Toys R’ Us. You will easily find this because it was just a stall, and displays chocolate products such as various M&M’s, Mars, Kitkats etc. They even sell Tacos too! So I bought what I am eyeing for.. Php 299 I also got Kitkat Uji Matcha for 140 (3 small bars) This was incredibly good!!! I never expected it would taste this delicious. So for that, I think what I paid for is really worth it + it is authentically from Japan ...

Zark's SM North Edsa

Many people got very excited upon hearing the news of Zarks having to open up a branch in SM North Edsa. And so do I. Maybe because this mall was considered near among people living in the North bound and that it was accessible to go to. Aside from that, many mall-goers went here. Relatively, I had a date with the gang last Saturday, October 18 th . This was my second time to eat at Zarks, first one’s in Taft last year. (2013-11-23) Back then, this was I ordered. Tadaa, Black Mamba! Cheeseburger in a bed of fresh lettuce, tomato, sauteed mushroom and caramelized onions topped with their very own barbecue rum sauce (PhP 135.00) It’s not easy to get a seat here. We arrived around 2 pm and the seats were all occupied, plus many are still waiting in the area. good thing they have reservations. You just have to tell your name to the ushers accommodating the people and how many you were. We’re 6! We almost waited for 2 hours to have a seat. 30 minutes or so, our...
